Is that true? source?

Governor Newsom

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.latimes.com/california/story/2020-02-27/no-coronavirus-emergency-in-california-but-state-will-expand-testing-newsom-says%3f_amp=true

A total of 33 people have been diagnosed with coronavirus in California, and five have since left the state, Newsom said. Of the confirmed cases, 24 were either evacuated from the Diamond Princess cruise ship or returned on repatriation flights from Wuhan, China — the epicenter of the coronavirus outbreak. 

Newsom said more than 8,400 people are being monitored in 49 local jurisdictions.

We’re all sitting in the dugout. Thinking we should pitch. How you gonna throw a shutout when all you do is bitch.

We'll see. One of these days health organizations won't be able to contain the spread of one of these scares. 

Not much any of us can do about it that, though. So live your life, I say.

Yeah, one day a real pandemic will happen.  This ain't it.  This is like an exceptionally bad strain of flu as far as lethality.  God bless the USA, the country spending money so the medical field can continue to innovate  We owe it all to capitalism.  Would be nice if Europe helped cover the costs that lead to innovation. and shit hole countries stopped eating weird shit.  The real fear is going to be if policies like Bernies and Warrens ever take root.  Then we will never be able to fight these diseases and viruses and something like this will be far more dangerous.  Should make the November election an easy choice, if you think pandemics are something to worry about in the future.

Wow - infectious disease and the stock market fully explained in one thread! Reddit must be so jealous.

Slightly worried about going to Costco later. People freak out bad enough when E. coli is detected in the water, this will be a total circus show.

Think of "The Market" as a hormonal 12 yr old girl and  it will help you understand how it reacts to things.  Not just this thing

market now down almost 1200 points, worst week since 2008

I will have to have a tough conversation with my family about the fact that we'll be eating beans and rice for the next three years. Because daddy needs to go shopping on Wall Street.

Exactly. Which is why it doesn't make much sense - tempting as it is - to explain what's going on. The easiest and probably best explanation right now is: The market is going down because it's been going up sharply for a while. Doesn't really matter what the catalyst is, people are taking profits.

Funny but oh so true.

Several companies that have just recently had earnings calls have retracted their guidances, particularly companies reliant on cross border commerce.  All it takes is for companies to miss revenue expectations by a small percent for the market to get very "hormonal."

+++++ it, lift the embargoes. 

Remember that every argument you have with someone on MWCboard is actually the continuation of a different argument they had with someone else also on MWCboard.
