Pretty impressive how the proper test for an unprepared administration was a pandemic rather than absolutely everything else they did wrong. And that the pandemic was the excuse the markets would have to finally collapse after almost three years of massive overpricing and ignoring of market realities.

Trump will survive this.

Literally. The masses can die and he'll be one of the few remaining survivors, chomping on big macs in a secured shelter under the WH.

What if they discovered the vaccine - you got it from tonguing an obese man's virus-spackled rear end in a top hat. He's strapped into stirrups and there's a long rear end queue. Just a little dab with your tongue on that Covid-covered taint means you get enough virus for immunity.

We are getting more and more cases in Germany from people who were on holiday in Italy but Sweden has a woman who caught it on holiday in Germany. Which means it must be even more prevalent here then we thought.

My guess is there are hundreds of very mild cases already spreading it all over the place. It makes zero sense that Munich doesn't have a new case already, there are hundreds of people going to Italy from here every weekend.
I give it until Monday at most.

We just had the biggest Dow point drops in history (not that that means a lot because A) that's a record that's going to keep getting higher over time no matter what and B) it isn't the highest ever percentage drop).

But what does matter is that the gains since last September are all gone, companies are apparently pondering just not posting earnings anymore and there's signs that are pointing to continued freefall on Friday (right now futures are up, but just a smidgen, and they were up yesterday by about the same amount before the megadrop).
