My concern is the new case found in Sacramento and the patient claims no travel and has no idea of how it was contracted, at least for right now. News says the case was found in Solano County, not Sacramento, Travis AFB is there, connection? Flights from the far East come into Travis. There could be Air Force personnel on those flights from South Korea and Japan who may have had exposure and not known it. The odds are the patient is from Fairfield or nearby.

The global supply chains and travel are not likely to improve in the near future. That means significant negative global economic impact is likely. That translates to investors moving their money to less volatile investments. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THEUniversityofNevada Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 54 minutes ago, happycamper said: Do you think the coronavirus is the reason or is it just an excuse for a correction? A little bit of both. Market was over due for a correction, plus this is looking like it will disrupt travel and global supply chain.

Jackrabbit Posted February 27, 2020 Share Posted February 27, 2020 This is going to suck more than i originally thought. I was setting up a 10 day trip to the Big Island in late march....had already been putting it off. The wife doesnt want to sit on a plane with others now....and im sure we arent the only ones. I am turning from optimist to pessimist quickly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corona Virus is certainly the reason and this is well understood, It is disrupting international commerce WAY more than the Tarrifs did. Why , what do you think is causing this? I think we are headed for a mild recession because of this. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's rarely one thing, right? I think we were due for a correction, and the virus is sparking it. I also think the market is reacting to Bernie's ascendancy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a job for professionals, as in scientists and doctors. Chill out, someone at the top has to take "point". Pence isn't moving to the laboratory, I'm sure he'll appoint and delegate to someone knowledgeable, and half of us will hate his choice. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
