    Is there a book out there called "How not to do something".... cause I feel like trump has read this book.

    Why us it always such a cluster...you would think he would get something right at some point.  You would think the market reaction would have him OVER compensate on this.

    If by hope you mean that somehow we will have a decent response?  Yes.  Confidence is different than hope.

    Are you serious with the “yes”? I mean people are dying.  Or is this just finding the silver lining to a bad situation?

    Good to hear your not taking too much of a beating.

    I'm thinking about investing myself, just don't know when to jump in. I suspect it's going to get worse yet.

    If you think that is going to change, you’re fooling yourself. And if you’re holding out hope...............

    Good to hear your not taking too much of a beating.

    I'm thinking about investing myself, just don't know when to jump in. I suspect it's going to get worse yet.
    I think it still has some downward action in it. And that's before an actual recession hits (although this could very well be the catalyst).  End of the day, unless you need the money in 5 years or less, no reason to sit on the sidelines too long.  

    *edit - oh man, 900 points down already today.  Trump must be shitting his whoppers.

    It is amazing the chaotic decision tree that is being climbed with this virus.  Compared exactly to the novel H1N1 just a decade ago.  Japan's PM closing of schools was basically counter intuitive and without direction from Health Officials.   Just sorta of was like, "Hey, close the schools."   And meanwhile is now backtracking.

    I think the message that we all need to really focus on is to remain calm and use common sense.  Focus on spreading 4-5 key thing to know and focus on while in public, such as ...

    * If sick, wear a mask if in contact with others.  Remain as isolated as possible until healthy

    * Keep aware of your hands in public.  

    * Wash your hands

    If it gets bad in the future then we can worry about more (i'm sure very smart professionals are hard at work right now), but for now the best way to stop spread is to follow simple rules.

    And most importantly, just live your life

    I think the message that we all need to really focus on is to remain calm and use common sense.  Focus on spreading 4-5 key thing to know and focus on while in public, such as ...

    * If sick, wear a mask if in contact with others.  Remain as isolated as possible until healthy

    * Keep aware of your hands in public.  

    * Wash your hands

    If it gets bad in the future then we can worry about more (i'm sure very smart professionals are hard at work right now), but for now the best way to stop spread is to follow simple rules.

    And most importantly, just live your life 


    Excellent advice, Jason.  Also a good idea to keep one's fingers out of the nose, mouth, eyes. 





    And arse, don’t forget your arse B-Lux 

    I thought about including that, but just couldn't go there!  I don't usually use this term but, in this case, ewwww!  :lol:
