So, let me get this right. In the same time, 10x more people have died from regular flu complications than have died of Coronavirus, but yes, the Western economy is gonna collapse.
THIS is the damage that conspiracy sites do to our society.

When you go to ground and convert all of your assets to gold, please sell me your jazz records I'll pay you in gold Kugerrands and MRE's.

Jeff, if we only keep the reliable sources today we would be all alone you and I.

There's nothing fake about this COVID-19, and nothing fake on its global impact...economically, socially, global health, reality check, culturally, humanitarian, short and long term effects, ...

Including ultra high end audio gear and audio manufacturers and audiophiles @ home with a passionate love for music listening.
...Beyond the boundaries of the search for perfection in the world of music reproduction in our homes.

Gold companies routinely advertise on these conspiracy sites. Most notoriously, Alex Jones reports on water turning frogs gay and then pitches his water filters.

Water turning frogs gay? What the Hell does he think they spend most of their time in? Alex needs to be more concerned about the Kool Aid he's drinking instead of worrying about our little green friends.

Interesting that the only person dramatically healthier right now re the push for a greener planet is Greta. According to her parents, she was selectively mute, not eating, not getting out of bed. Before she started her movement.

Now...


What does this post have to do with coronavirus? :mad:

I studiously avoided allowing anybody to post links from questionable sites. I took flak from Bob for doing so, when I deleted some links he posted, significantly so you would not be triggered to respond to those links.

But you are allowing yourself to be triggered, even without those links you find offensive being posted, so I cannot win.

No one is talking about conspiracy sites but you. Please stop. Thank you.
 
Gentlemen:

Unless the Greta girl catches coronavirus she is totally irrelevant to this thread.

Marc, this means you.
 
That sounds terrible.

Oh no, this sounds totally lovely. Like a gentle, warm summer breeze.

And I am sure Ked will agree that the flow is just exquisite.

Ron, so you'll be jumping on every thread that deviates temporarily? I look fwds to that, wouldn't like to feel I deserve special attention.
Ron, this means you. Lol
 
I'm going to play safe:
The latest news on the Coronavirus wasn't good news for the stock market today.

"Stocks went out near the session lows, with the Dow ending the day down by 1,031 points (down 3.56%)."

Tomorrow, a rally, a continued down spiral? Check the international markets to get an idea.
My best guess, not a rosy day in perspective.

Not a collapse but a world wide econ recession if this thing break free. Many countries are already in recession. This will further wound. Asian stock market is reacting. Come to any countries in South East Asia right now you will find air ports empty. Hotel occupancy is less than 15. Department stores are quietly spooky. Thai Tourism Authority just announced that the number of people coming into Thailand is reduced 90%. Even the Thais themself go out much less. How many has this virus in Thailand? Only around 40. Half already virus free and gone home. Much better contained than so many countries. The point now is not how many are dead comparing to other causes of death. Economically, The biggest effect of this virus is it hesitate people from moving freely. When people don't move or travel freely, it slow down consumption. And measures to control this virus from spreading stop or to the least extent hesitate people from going places. Now look at protective measures each govt put up when people going into country. They sure hesitate people from traveling. This virus creates "fear". Fear because there is no vaccine because it is easily spread and infected. Fear restricts mobility. Fear slowdown everything economically. Hope they find a cure to end this soon.
 
is it the virus that created the feat or the hype? The death rate among ages 19 to 49 is like 0.3%. A normal bad flu rate...

Where it deviates to a seemingly sensitive topic among our members who apparently are unable to restrain themselves from snooty-snoggingly kindling unnecessary conflict -- yes.

So please don't be "that guy."

Thank you.
