If you raw dog it you are exchanging fluids anyway. I'd hit it from behind so she cant cough on me during the deed. abenjami 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctm Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 3 hours ago, 9 Nines said: It seems that something changed this weekend - tipping point of concern. I went to Walmart yesterday and it had less shopper than weekday mornings and many shelves bare. Whole Foods, this morning right before Noon which is usually pretty busy, had few shoppers. Same with Kroger this morning. It hit the airlines late in the week. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/companies/almost-without-precedent-airlines-hit-hard-by-coronavirus/ar-BB10Nz4R?ocid=spartandhp Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

freakingeek Posted March 8, 2020 Report Share Posted March 8, 2020 On 3/6/2020 at 5:51 AM, ctm said: The White House has admitted that the federal government will not be able to keep its promise to deliver enough coronavirus test kits for 1 million people by the end of the week. Vice President Mike Pence, who is leading the federal government's coronavirus response, made the admission on Thursday while visiting a factory in Minnesota, the BBC reported. He said: "We don't have enough tests today to meet what we anticipate will be the demand going forward. Distribution of around 200 CDC test kits to "select" laboratories began on Thursday, with each one having the capacity to test 700-800 patients, according to the CDC. They have been produced under emergency legislation that allows them to be used prior to clearance or approval by the FDA. https://www.businessinsider.com/white-house-says-will-fail-1m-goal-coronavirus-test-kits-2020-3 But why do we need tests? Trump says we have the virus NEARLY 100% contained (well almost nearly) and he is a self professed expert on it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean circuit breaker rules on bids etc. It could keep going down but bids will get rejected to keep it from going in free-fall. I think there is a low limit that a market can open - lower bids and asks are rejected or something. pat 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Read the oil price thread and the details of the articles. Russia would not go along with production cuts that OPEC wanted, now instead of cuts OPEC is going to flood markets with oil. Russia does seem to have done anything. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChemEngr79 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 (edited) It is starting to ramp up rapidly... Dow futures currently at -1200 for tomorrow morning... Also, Columbus Costco was out of TP today and were only allowing 2 cases bottled water per customer. Seems the run is on...good thing I stocked up 2 weeks ago...
