An increase in alcohol sales and an increase in gun sales leads to..... ?????

Fundamentals have never really been my thing , but trying to figure out which country is least annhilated or alternatively best able to function during covid is surely guesswork . I am positive no one really has a clue who is going to come out of ...

Have to say Marlone, that was a real nothing piece from an associate professor.... Essentially Marlone says People are buying guns because others are buying guns ie conformity, or people are buying guns because of the new social constraints dictated ...

Yes but.....Same virus. No avoiding it. And for clarity I do also mean a disaster with patient numbers overwhelming available resources, which results in hard and life and death decisions.

Poor old Italy. As a healthcare worker myself looking at these numbers makes me feel ill . I don't know how Trumpy can think US can avoid it, by all accounts northern Italy area with great health system in place.

1200 new cases in 24 hours in NY. I'm pretty sure China had already started building their (1 week to build) 8000 bed hospital before they were geting 1200 cases a day. The covid horse has bolted , plenty of catch up to be done. Possibly better to ...

Qantas stood down 20000 staff today. Think it's safe to say this news stat for February can go straight to the bin. Forget it.

How come we haven't a vaccine for SARS yet then... Also I like the analogy of a fridge being unplugged for global depression, above. Nice one. I'm sure you have lots of amazing thoughts in your head.

40 reps still wanted people to have to pay. Twats.

Why do you think this? Will Trump go back to war with someone? If countries come through tough times with stimulus packages, will the average American have money to spend to keep their economy kicking over as unemployment rises?

Yes. The global debt bubble is announcing itself with a big "ta dah"

So equities have been flushed (down the toilet) and gold is now going down as investors try to use their gold bank to help their margin on equities, is property crash to help gold to help equities next ? There's NO doubt unemployment is about to ...

I think, unfortunately, that just like a world war was started with an assassination, Covid is merely the impetus for an economic snow ball. In itself covid is a massive threat to the elderly but everyone else should do ok, but in reality the ...

Yes I'm not sure how many other countries can ( or would even consider) constructing a 1000 bed emergency hospital in 1 week !

Very cool. I hope he actually gets that amount

Too late it's global. Best news is that mortality appears to be 2%, unlike Ebola which is up to 90%. Depends on the truth behind the Chinese stats. Western countries will find out soon enough

Pandemic on Netflix is an interesting watch. Plenty of scientists globallly putting swabs down bird throats and up their cloakas just to keep an eye on things. Australian hospitals are constantly strained as it is. The series really shows how ...

I think the belief is this virus is just warming up. Say that again in another month
