Corona Virus Updates Part 5

I've noticed Italy's death rate per 1 mil people is now close to 1,000. It's been on a steady rise since day 1.

US could be on 53,000 cases by tmrw already.

Uk have another 48 deaths today and 665 new cases.

When all of this is over, meaning some sort of return to normalcy, what do you think will happen to the real estate market?
I think there might be a lot more empty houses.
Ones that were owned by senior citizens when all of this began.

I work in the real estate industry and produce a monthly market report so I'm monitoring the data on this regularly. I am expecting exactly this situation and a more severe market crash than 2008 in the US.

Glad you have seen the same as me in the media/real life/Facebook
It's bloody madness! One sunny (ish) day and the people are out!
Also agree with saladfingers in his thoughts on why people are going out - they don't like being told not to, and also think it's some sort of paid holiday!

It’s been even worse today, loads of cars parked outside a large shopping centre and loads out on big family walks on the moors. Still lots of panic buying happening as well. We went for a drive, it’s pretty quiet around Sheffield but still a few cars around.

I’ve been no where for 6 days except taking our dog out... people aren’t taking this seriously!

TDawg made a comment of enjoying his/her last weekend of having a chicken sandwich from a restaurant last week, March 6.

March 5 is the last day I enjoyed take out as well.

Looks great, tho you won't get many clicks without a bit of an explanation :

Tomas Pueyo : "Coronavirus : The Hammer and The Dance"

Small quote from the beginning of the (long) article :

This article follows Coronavirus: Why You Must Act Now, with over 40 million views and 30 translations. If you agree with this article, consider signing the corresponding White House petition. Translations available in 23 languages at the bottom. Running list of endorsements here. 5 million views so far.

Summary of the article: Strong coronavirus measures today should only last a few weeks, there shouldn’t be a big peak of infections afterwards, and it can all be done for a reasonable cost to society, saving millions of lives along the way. If we don’t take these measures, tens of millions will be infected, many will die, along with anybody else that requires intensive care, because the healthcare system will have collapsed.

Thank you for that - I signed the petition!!

My 85yo mother is not feeling well this afternoon. We have been in lock in since the 13th. Last time she was out was on the 10th for a medical procedure. I have gone out twice for propane and meds, but wore N95 and gloves both times. Sprayed everything down when I got home.

I hope she did not pick it up almost 2 weeks ago. This is what I was trying to prevent. I will keep you all updated, hopefully it is just something minor.

Hope it all works out OK.

Trump has given a lot of power to the individual states.

Actually, it's the Constitution that does that.
Trump would have to take power from the states (power which they now possess), to force action.

I wish my state would do more. I'm not impressed with our governor right now.

Thanks, I corrected my post.

I bet he waits until spring break is over then announces a full state shutdown. SC is a poor state and they need as much revenue as possible.

Canada is trying to repatriate many of its citizens or permanent residents.

Incoming travellers have to self-isolate for 14 days. Yet, in this article we see a wife being picked up by her husband at the airport as she arrives. He is wearing gloves. He handed her flowers. They are walking shoulder to shoulder but will,

and the two will try to keep their distance from each other — as hard as that may be after spending months apart.

They will share a car ride home (he came to pick her up) and have already been in close contact.

The other picture in the article shows a tight hug and the incoming traveller greets his loved one.

Will those folks they are living with also self-isolate? We know that people aren’t, whether they are the ones who are supposed to as they are incoming travellers or those who they live with who didn’t travel.

Doctor on cbc was saying this as well. people have to self isolate away from the rest of the people in the household. different room and no contact. I can see trying get people from the airport without wanting to uber or cab. designated driver whether it is their spouse should try to protect themself when picking them up.

This is how it spreads when rest of the family mingle with isolated person and then go out and about.

Tough situation but the least they can do since being able to return home.

Just out of curiosity do the American guys and girls believe in Trumps ability to handle of this?

Not sure what your getting at. President Trump is doing what every other President has done under crisis, he put a travel ban with china soon as it started and got slammed for it. I believe he was called a (gasp) racist, he was accused of overreacting. He got the right people together to respond to it.
I mean sure he's not in the lab creating a vaccine for this, but yeah, I think he's handling this as good as he can.

True. USA was one of the first to implement some restrictions. European leaders wanted the world to think we are "more civilized" and now we have chaos. It's not chaos per se but quarantine everywhere and uncertainty. Leaders like Trump are the best for this scenario ... I would say dictatorship but that is what Turkey has (they do well in this crisis but not economicaly so Trump is what I would call a "moderation") hehe

New York numbers just dropped by (over) half for today on Worldometers, to +5,429.

What happened ?

www.worldometers.info...

Rand Paul tested positive. Allegedly.
www.cnn.com...

GOP senators told CNN Paul was in the gym with colleagues Sunday morning, and several pointed out how close Paul had sat to others during Senate lunches in recent days. Sen. Jerry Moran of Kansas said he saw Paul in the Senate swimming pool Sunday, according to a source in the GOP lunch.

Swell. Dumbass.
Social distancing? That's for normal people, not senators.

Been in bed for the most part of the day. Coughing, extreme fever. Feeling hot, but my body shakes as never before. Breathing is difficult, out of breath while I am doing some dishes. Not normal.

Not feeling well at the moment, but thanks for the update I will read the sources you posted.

I think lockdown is coming soon, what do you think Asgaard?

I hope you are feeling better soon. Put some bleach in that wash water for the dishes. Of course, forget the dishes and get medical help if needed. Keep us posted and get some rest.
