Re: More on the virus

I think it had to have been an accident. Don't you think that IF it was let loose on purpose that the guilty party would have protected their own citizens first?
Just read an article (sorry, didn't copy the link) that three scientists at the Wuhan lab were very sick with an unknown virus in November of 2019.

Sigh.

I do know that some business analysts let out of sigh of relief when the pandemic started. The economy was overheating and many were expecting a repeat of the 2008 banking crisis. The start of the pandemic decreased the banking stress and the conspiracy theorists thought it was “too convenient”.

The U.S. economy or ALL economies?

by Jreboll Mon May 24, 2021 12:03 pm

ALL. They’re all printing money as fast as they can but the US is leading the way.

I don't understand at all. I was prepared to take a portfolio hit because of the pandemic. It never happened. Instead it's gone up. Beats the hell out of 2008 when it totally tanked and I freaked. Maybe I have a lot of toilet paper stock?

I guess if we will never know, there isn´t much need for discussion.

Well it seems the virus has been eradicated around here. Do they have Guadalajara stats?

by ferret Thu Jun 03, 2021 8:37 am

Yes. This is the site... https://datos.covid-19.conacyt.mx/ You zoom in on the map and, as you hover your cursor over the map, the area will be named and you click on the one that interests you.
Guadalajara and environs still have cases...

Thanks

De nada. The cool thing about the website is that you can check out any area of Mexico that you are planning on visiting. And, don't forget, that the stats are not perfect and most likely require a multiplication factor of about 10 to get a truly realistic view of what's going on. Zero. I like Zero because, even when you multiply it by 10, it's still zero. :)
