Coronavirus fears hammer markets - how far will it go?

[ckirocz28]

Just got back from the grocery. No raids on meat yet. Actually the meat section looks way better than it did 6 weeks ago. Still NO paper products on the shelves. Nothing. I did see a couple ladies stuffing a car with nothing but TP and PTs last time I was there, so the paper hording continues, SMH.

Where the hell are these people storing all these paper products? They've got to run out of room sometime.

Normally we hoard amplifiers and speakers.... so... hey...

since you have a crystal ball can you tell me what i am thinking

No crystal ball here, just a calculator and a look at the stats from other countries that are comparable, and how slowly the daily numbers go down after they hit their peak respectively.

50,000 dead in the month of May = daily average of 1612 for the month.

We'll find out once the great toilet paper fire of 2020 gets going

What, we're expected to wait for another piece of gear to get shipped here so we can have tunes again? Pshaw. We carry spare tires, why not amps?

Go through the classifieds if you want to try a different amp ( China is not shipping or Korea or Italy or Germany , give it a month )

Calculations for flu deaths

Some good points in this article.

In the last six flu seasons, the CDC’s reported number of actual confirmed flu deaths—that is, counting flu deaths the way we are currently counting deaths from the coronavirus—has ranged from 3,448 to 15,620, which far lower than the numbers commonly repeated by public officials and even public health experts.

The question remains. Can we accurately compare the toll of the flu to the toll of the coronavirus pandemic?


To do this, we have to compare counted deaths to counted deaths, not counted deaths to wildly inflated statistical estimates. If we compare, for instance, the number of people who died in the United States from COVID-19 in the second full week of April to the number of people who died from influenza during the worst week of the past seven flu seasons (as reported to the CDC), we find that the novel coronavirus killed between 9.5 and 44 times more people than seasonal flu. In other words, the coronavirus is not anything like the flu: It is much, much worse.

Except that these coronavirus deaths are not actually confirmed.
