And the market is down sharply which is very unusual following a rate cut. Every economist that I read says that you can't fix the threat to the economy from the virus with rate cuts, tax cuts, fiscal stimulus, etc. The medical issue has to be resolved first.

All this talk about more people dying from the flu, but the death rate is 1 % from the common flu and up to 3.1 % for Coronavirus, and that will probably continue to climb. I do wonder if the upcoming warmer weather will help kill off Coronavirus the way it does with the flu? If it doesn't we will have a huge problem on our hands.

I did not know the details so just researched it: https://www.verywellhealth.com/when-is-common-cold-season-770443 People huddle indoors during Winter spreading germs more; Shorter days means less vitamin D which means weaker immune systems; Dryer air, especially indoors with heaters, dries out nasal passages which allows virus to enter the host easier.

I think you'll see the mortality rate fall. Been saying it for weeks. There are likely hundreds of thousands undocumented cases. Former_Fan 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
