280Shooter, what you're suggesting is about as silly as to suggest that a grocer must actually have empty pantries in his own home kitchen because he sells those supplies for a living. Not at all. A grocer keeps whatever supply of groceries in his pantries that he deems appropriate for the circumstances. If he's convinced that shortages and inflation are on the horizon, he doesn't stop selling groceries in his store. It is, in fact, via profits earned through selling them that he can afford to keep or increase his personal stockpile of whatever quantity he deems advisable for himself.

Rush was commenting on the coronavirus this morning and said it is all media hype and just a common cold virus. It has a 98% survival rate which is better than the common flu. Also said it was probably a result of the chicoms trying to weaponize a virus for their bio program. this season: Coronovirus: 2,700 dead. 'Common' flu: 8,200 as of 1/24. So what's the big deal with the beer virus vs. the common flu?

What is the argument that they make? Exactly the one that I stated. The slow among us never stop to question. Perhaps the Iraqi Dinar may interest you? In times of crisis, copper and lead trumps gold.

Bottom line,.....gold and silver is real money.
Everything else in circulation is schitt.
Real estate, gold, silver.
Everything else is just an IOU.

Sycamore The disease [Spanish Flu] was exceptionally severe. Case-fatality rates were >2.5%, compared to <0.1% in other influenza pandemics

...Actually Sycamore, you are sort of right....

I like Rush, but he is dead wrong on this. The flu is everywhere and affects millions of people, so yeah, it kills more. The Corona Virus has only affected a few thousand, and its kill rate is higher that the flu. The flu also has shots to keep millions from getting it. The Corona Virus does not have a vaccine yet. It takes longer to affect someone who catches the virus.
Also, the reason they are not declaring it a pandemic is the insurance for bonds to cover pandemics would have to start paying out and they could go bankrupt causing a global recession.
Another thing, China took DRASTIC measures to stop this virus. Locking people in their apartments or homes by welding bars across their doors or new locks on the outside. They have also locked the patients in their rooms in the hospital feed them through double door windows. They have shut down factories, schools, and made everyone stay home. DRASTIC action. At no other time have they done this. SARS was contained quickly. This virus has not. It can live 9 days on a surface like a counter top.
The people who have survived, were either very healthy, or they put them on ventilators forcing them to breath at a certain rate. To much it doesn't stop it, too little it doesn't stop it. People have had to be put to sleep while on the ventilators for about a week until it finally stopped the virus. Some people have got well but still carried the live virus that could infect others.
This virus is totally different from other normal viruses, thus why they think China may have manufactured it for possible biological warfare, but it escaped their facility. They won't let anyone in to help them and are keeping western doctors out. Seems fishy.
