Do they know that the state above them is now growing at a faster rate than NY?

A lot harder than it looks, though

Are they insane?

Considering Hubei is the epicenter of the outbreak, and the citizens have been locked down for nearly 2 months, and the fight is on a bridge leading out of that province, it's reasonable to assume that this is very much China-virus related.

Why not? It's a clear reaction to what the government did to them since the start of the outbreak.

This tells me that it's highly unlikely that China is not experiencing any new cases.

Guess who's the disingenuous partisan hack who criticized Trump all this time for not being forceful enough in wielding the full power of Federal gov't? You're a ***** joke.

Utterly disgusting

BTW if you're getting texts from friends about the wives tales about avoiding Ibuprofen, this is probably one of those cases where even circumstantial evidence is strong enough to warrant avoiding them altogether. Always check the label, first.

Looks like the story is true, but many many questions surround it. Why go to urgent care and not a hospital?

If only Trump had listened to the NYC officials early on when the Federal government crafted its response strategy https://abc7ny.com/health/despite-coronavirus-fears-chinatown-parade-to-go-on-as-planned/5898745/ via @ABC7NY BTW, I recommend people watch the entire news segment

Covexit?

Especially since China never shut the entire country down.

That he's not as rich as he pretends to be. Nothing more, nothing less.

Do you propose a better form of credit insurance in the market?

At all times. A bank or CLO will not dump high yield bank debt to buy Apple. Same with high yield mutual funds. Everyone is just riding out the storm, because it’s stupid to sell your high yield holdings at a discount now. Many buyout shops are more than happy to buy the debt at a discount for any willing sellers. There haven’t been huge outflows from high yield yet.

Completely different investment bases.

NY was below 20% today. All US jumped to 30% because of spikes in other states. That's why showing aggregate data is bunk. Also continuing proof that China is lying about something big.

Lots of people. Different incentive for investors to buy quality bonds vs chasing yield in junk bonds.

Rate of growth is very important because that's what all the doomsday predictions were based on. Remember Petayo's petri dish example of the culture eventually taking over the entire dish? The figure everyone clings to is 30% growth, so getting to below 20% is huge. Heck you still have people talking about exponential growth, when data says otherwise. Did you notice how the negative conversation suddenly changed from NY to USA? Could it be that New York cases slowed down in absolute numbers and rate of growth. Now other states are growing faster, and that's contributed to rising infections in the US. There's reason to believe that NY will soon hit a peak and attention should turn to other areas. But the blueprint could be in front of us. Stay home for two weeks. If you venture out, wear a mask and gloves and keep your distance from other people.

Again, Italy appears to be a huge outlier relative to everywhere else, and really shouldn't be used as the sample.

Yup, high end of the corporate bond market - Microsoft, Intel, McD, Berkshire, etc.

You must be using a different definition of accelerating, because the increase in US daily cases has declined from the 40% range to under 20%. That's the number that the "experts" focused on when they were screaming about the pandemic spread and throwing out doomsday scenarios. There may be a slight uptick in US growth due to spikes In LA, and MA, but that also means that NY growth is slowing big time. In any event focusing on cases misses the bigger picture of the severity of the infections, which is far more important, and is also getting better in NY. But fear mongering works far better, doesn't it?

These types of headlines are incendiary because they blare large numbers without providing the true context that the rate of infections is slowing!

Hey, you're posting. That's a good sign
