Excellent article by an actual expert, and in terms of discussing the overloading of the healthcare system a great antidote to the pseudo-rational nonsense posted earlier:

If you click on the author in this article, he is obviously not an epidemiologist.
Whenever I listened to or read articles by actual epidemiologists the last few days they basically all say the same thing.

We offered to go shopping for our elderly neighbour today.
Her request was for 4 bottles of wine!
Makes self isolation go with a swing.

Our prime minister was today asked by a reporter if closing the
borders, hurting some businesses when it historically did not
help fighting the spread of virus, answered that she would rather go
one step to far than not do enough ! That did shut him up !
You don't have to be an epidemiologist, you don't have to be a scientist, you don't have to be a medical doctor, to think to yourself that the "herd immunity" plan to maximize the spread of the infection as quickly as possible does not seem to make any sense.
It does if it's to build immunity in the 60% who'll get nothing more than a mild 24hr fever. And build time for the NHS to have max resources to deal w the main event w the vunerable 1% at infection peak in4 months time.
specifically that areaSure .
i magine him explaining to everyone how he became a miljonair after the crisis.
i d think he would be with an empty container rather quickly if the shit hits the fan with all those guns in the US
Is she prepared to go to a curfew style 49 day Wuhan type crackdown?
That will get most of the infections happening at one time, wiping out
your healthcare system, resulting in a lot of unnecessary deaths
financial trading talk. vix is volatility index. canting is oil mkt version of yield curve inversion.
Do these guys know what the price of a litre of milk is? Or that of a toilet roll?
No forced lockdown or draconian measures, just a lot of education/information and social pressure
Personally i think we should reserve one of our smaller Islands for people that
can’t do without a restaurant or bar for a month. This will be mostly younger
people that think they are indestructible. Let them get the sniffles, become immune, non contagious, and then re introduced them to the general population
There'll certainly be some winners and losers amongst our beloved leaders once this virus comes out in the wash.No forced lockdown or draconian measures, just a lot of education/information and social pressure

But before NO POLITICS! appears, I've said enough...
"With all due respect to Thursday's massive repo expansion, this is the Fed's bazooka. It also means that after this, the Fed - which just cut rates to zero and launched QE5 - is now out of ammo, as "Powa" will have to cut rates to negative next and/or buy stocks outright for further monetary stimulus, something that would require the permission of "Boss". And since that is unlikely absent a total collapse in the financial system, we are now down to fiscal stimulus and US "puppets" acting in a "muppet" fashion. Which may be a huge gamble.
Curiously, in this barrage of emergency actions, the one which arguably was most needed, a commercial toilet paper facility, was missing. As such, it wouldn't be unthinkable to see the dollar funding squeeze worsen after the initial euphoria fades on Monday despite the launch of enhanced global swap lines.
The good news is that at least there is nothing more the Fed can announce on Wednesday, absent buying single stocks and ETFs of course, and as such all attention will now be on "Boss" and what additional fiscal stimulus the Fed can push through."
The U.S. Federal Reserve just fired every weapon it has. Unlike during the financial crisis of 2008-2009, when the Federal Reserve took steps gradually, today the Federal Reserve fired all weapons at once.
The same approach is needed on the fiscal stimulus side from the politicians.
