It’s very likely to be quite a bit lower because many folks don’t go to a hospital for treatment and get better. Stay out of nursing homes - especially the shitholes in Washington State. South Korea has tested 140K people and found the mortality rate is 0.6%. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3rdnlng Posted March 9, 2020 Share Posted March 9, 2020 I don't understand why you of all people HAHA Gator have a problem with the airlines going under. Eliminating air travel is one of the bedrocks of the Green New Deal, which you have enthusiastically supported. Have you changed your mind? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like all the Trump supporters. You accept help from Russia, you will accept the corporate bailout Honestly, it's tough to follow you when you want to make a point. I try, I really do, but you cycle in and out of reality and I'm not sure when you're lucid and when you're normal. I might support a bail out, I might not support a bail out. I figure you probably supported Obama era corporate bail outs, I understood the need in some cases to offer TARP money. Now you have an issue without even knowing what you're objecting to? I'm going to offer you some unsolicited advice---you can put your pants on before your underwear, there is no law against it, but generally speaking you look pretty silly when you do it. Wait until Trump, or if you have your way, Bernie bails them out, before you get all worked up. Plenty of time for Bernie to lead you and yours to the promised land. Look for the neon sign that says "PAYDAY LOANS". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find this board more fun to think of what the regular posters are in real life. Clearly you guys have ALOT of free time - either retired or you have a job where you sit at a desk all day and the job doesn't seem too demanding.... FFS Foxx is on vacation in Spain....and what is she doing? Posting on this god forsaken forum....good times! I read the article....It was a shallow view of how trade with other counties - if affected - should not hurt our GDP too much - Pretty much a level of research one would see from a freshman at college doing some quick google searches. Back to my point - All I could think of when I saw this post was....Does this B Man guy either sitting at his desk or computer ....really cruise to the Washington Times....read a nominal headline...and think "Awesome...WTs says everything is cool....gotta post it on PPP ...and quick!"

I have him on ignore. I miss all the "good stuff." Apparently, while on vacation people do not post to/read the forums. Hubby and I have been traveling since the beginning of September (we were home for the holidays) and I have not exactly read or participated most days, but there are some days in Spain we just are not doing anything except drinking wine on the balcony while watching people stroll the boardwalk and swim in the sea. ?♂️ Spain = we did this instead instead of Florida this year. To say this vacation is chill, is an understatement. Edited March 10, 2020 by Buffalo_Gal 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foxx Posted March 10, 2020 Share Posted March 10, 2020 after a market open where we saw a rise of 3% to partially offset yesterday's decline, we are seeing somewhat of a pull back with the daily gain now only at just over 1%. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, a lot of days when I have time to spend here it means things are slow in terms of business. I should not complain as for the most part I get to do something that I like to do but the downside is I most likely will never get rich at it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
