  Statistically looking like the 3% mortality rate figure is holding up. I still think that number is leaving out people with milder symptoms, but hard to guess how many that would be. 

Impossible to tell, I would say.  Especially in large countries like the US and Russia.  Korea and Italy probably have more accurate numbers than we do.  Italy is just a tad over 6% I think.  Then again, they have higher average ages over there.  Something like 1/4 of their populace is over 60 I think I read this morning.

   I think Italy missed testing a lot of people too. I do worry the way it's going here, we are going to end up with a scenario for containment and treatment similar to Italy.

   I imagine retaliatory bans may be coming too. Probably too late anyway. We are worse off than many European countries.

And not just out of the US travel.  Expect domestic travel to take a hit very soon.

It is Trump’s fault.  Maybe China would prefer sleepy Joe.

Don't think I've ever seen the MSM so elated at market chaos. Can see why they're with China here. Peas in an anti-American pod.

 

In lieu of natural recessions (I suppose I'm the only one who thinks recessions are a natural part of economics), I think this might be some therapeutic bloodletting. Furthermore, Trump now has an out because of the virus, market takes a nosedive, people blaming Trump look bad, versus a recession driven by other means. People will be anxious as hell to get back to business when this subsides (some are telling me its not going to survive the summer in many places), meaning much higher odds that Trump goes into election season with a booming economy. 

 

Naturally, gold looks good at a time like this, which reminds me to be entertained and see what Peter Schiff is saying now versus in a few months.

 

I also have to say, because of operational uncertainty, the only people in low income that seemingly stand to suffer are those working under speculative chase demand. For the most part, because of the need to retain staff, this will be absorbed by companies and wealthy individuals.

Why is it that the news media never talks about recoveries, or the slowing of new cases in Asia?

  I read several articles about that yesterday. You would expect an extremely aggressive and successful forced quarantine such as China did, ore testing everyone as they did in SK to do that. Other measures such as closing of schools, industries and transportation also slowed down new cases. That was the whole point of doing it. 

 

  It appears to be working, but we've also seen that for every one asymptomatic carrier that is missed, there tends to be 3 new cases the following day. There's a long way to go and will likely continue to be focal outbreaks.
