Typically, tests have to be FDA approved.The CDC's first batch of test turned out to be faulty and the FDA expedited their process at the end of Feb. LabCorp and others were supposed to start supplying tests (only if ordered by a Doc) this week. So, testing is probably picking up now, but we weren't as extensive as Korea/Germany.

What a wonderful study....how much you wanna bet Eye, that they come through this just fine? Won?t even make a good made for TV movie.

Most here live thru the 9/11 events. And after the attacked and whenever aircraft flies overhead I would look up and freak out when it get closer. Well, this coughing things in public is almost equivalent, not quite as alarming but does concern people around.

So we have two months head start when this virus first reported in China. CDC funding dwindle and massive cut and deem unnecessary under Trump. Then he declare it as a hoax when virus broke out in China and it will go away shortly. Now after 20+ % drop in the market he wake up, and will be more tomorrow, he shutdown travel to Europe all together. Yeah, great move.

Btw: TP can be found at different stores, they are being limited now. Costco has them if you go early.

Exactly why this time it is worse for the financial strapped masses. Market topped, 11 years bull runs, and debt level at an all time high. When you at the bottom the only way to go is up back in 2009. When you at the top of the top and overleverage like alot of companies been doing, not only it go down, it will go down hard and fast. It will go down more, ready to buy some on the discount and selective buying?

Financially strapped? Balance sheets for the s and p are in great shape. Any debt is funded at very low rates. Almost full employment means we can wether a storm. Trading has been very profitable but buying for the long term is now obvious. As always, be selective but there is an enormous amount of money about to be made. Mark my words.
