You are right. It all comes down to testing. The real problem with #COVID19 is not the mortality rate (which is relatively low), nor how contagious it is (very!). It's the 2 week long incubation period. With the flu and other diseases, people know they are sick and are essentially quarantined while sick in bed. With Covid, people feel fine and walk around, attend large events, and spread it around like crazy. If they knew they were sick, they would stay home. Quarantining every one who is healthy helps no one, is damaging to their mental health, and really does hurt the economy.

Oh good, so all those traders will jump ship and come here ;)

There's certainly some bright spots in the stock market. Some companies will benefit from these difficult times.

This is an interesting idea. In general, the author is correct, online companies should fare well during these chaotic times, while traditional companies with physical locations should suffer. But unfortunately, gambling is an addiction. I suspect many will turn to online equivalents to get their "fix." These online companies are a buying opportunity at the moment.

Yes, quite worthwhile. Wouldn't have seen it had I not spotted your comment on the homepage. Txs.

Depends on how long this whole thing lasts or how far reaching the quarantines are. In China, where millions of people have been quarantined for months, from what I read, the impact has been significant.

I think gaming companies are going to go way up as more and more cities are quarantined due to #covid19. What else will people do besides play video games all day! That's exactly what happened in China.

Have more in this series?

I've read reports that said Russia is interfering in the election once again - this time to push Bernie to win the Democratic nomination, specifically because they think he would be easier for Trump to beat.

Seems like a good time to buy $LYFT to me.
