Last I looked, there were 20,634 listings (per the headline on Ebay).

That's where you can buy it.

Won't be surprised to see some selling it for a fortune on street corners.
I don't know about now, but I heard the Dollar Store has TP.

Corona part of the issue. Saudi-Russia oil price war main issue.
Large hedge funds had over levered in oil contracts. Some funds were leveraged between 10-13%
I was wondering why QE 4 had started back in 2019 with Fed actions in overnight lending. I now know why.

Price collapsed, the selling began. Leading to more selling.

The Banks have been better controlled so hedge fund Mgrs. went to town.

I don't think it will ever be 1000 a day, but you will see 10,000 a month.
It's the unknown that is causing people to panic imo.
China just announced it's on a huge decline there.

By the 21st it will be 20,000.
1.5% die.
And yes it looks like Japan and other places have a remedy. It's been known for awhile how just taking vitamin C helps quit a bit. Odd that that same vitamin works for the flu too.

It's not about my mother or any other fake drama you try to create.

Again TB killed 1.5 million in one year recently yet no world wide call for a vaccine distribution is there? Why?

No this is the definition of entitlement.

The people involved in the stock market are the most entitled individuals on the planet. The money has to be increasing at all times or they run away instantly and the costs become forced on everyone else.

Dividends and capital gains should be taxed at 90 percent with a marginal rate of 100 percent on anything over six figures. Want money? Go do real work.

The coronavirus was merely the pin that popped the bubble. That is why you're seeing what seems like outsized declines relative to the seeming threat of the virus.

The virus merely exposed the underlying weaknesses of the stock market.

I am not sure if "hoax" would ever be the right word for this, but "overreaction" MIGHT be if this turns out to be way, way, way overblown -- but I still think that it is much MUCH too soon to say that.

In just one way (meaning if the number of deaths in the U.S. don't exceed 10,000 or so), I will be happy, but I agree that many, MANY people will be upset if this was "much ado about [almost] nothing." (However, I doubt if those who have lost loved ones think that this was "nothing".)

Think about that for a minute.



There's something else going on and this flu is being used as cover for nefarious reasons. I feel like this is some sort of test phase (PoC) for something else.

I'm not sure at what point of the 8 minutes you derive your quote. In the first 2 minutes he spoke of the politicization (and that is what was on the screen), and said "yes, we need to take all of these precautions".
I have not a clue where you're wandering off to. Hannity?

I'm talking about elitists who are not letting a good emergency go to waste and exploiting it for their own purposes.

This is an emergency. It is not something to be used for political purposes. Anyone, in a position to make this worse than it is and is exploiting it, should be brought up on charges.

It's one thing to be safe, quite another to perpetuate an irrational fear.

Damn straight they are!!!


At this moment we have 10k people infected.


155 deaths.


The mortality rate is dropping big time. There will be 10s of thousands infected and the death rates will continue to fall.


I would bet a weeks pay it goes below 1% here in the US.

Yes, I agree (or at least I do at this point). Please read the following, and also please note the writer's credentials at the bottom.
