CoronitaParticipantLook like Korean Flight attendant to LAX had it.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=ltsdd]Oman and the UAE each has a few cases. Temperatures is ~75F. MERS outbreak started in the middle east in the dead of the summer in 2012.
According to Harvard SITN:
The results from the study suggest that influenza actually survives longer at low humidity and low temperatures. At 43°F with very low humidity, most of the virus was able to survive more than 23 hours, whereas at high humidity and a temperature of 90°F, survival was diminished at even one hour into incubation[/quote]Sorry, I was quoting morning temps. Mumbai’s temp reaches in the 90’s around 2-3pm, humidity is around 33%.
Italy, Iran, UAE, Oman are all around the 40-50ies right now, though high humidity.
Would be an interesting experiment though indoors….Crank up the heat to 90+F and run some humidifiers….
CoronitaParticipant[quote=ltsdd]I find it very interesting that India has not said much about the virus. I don’t even want to imagine what it’s going to be like for a city like mumbai – densely populated and not exactly the most sanitized – to get hit with the virus.[/quote]
It’s 80F right now in Mumbai.
Wondering if anyone has done a test on temps and the virus’ survival.CoronitaParticipant[quote=outtamojo]Lots more pandemic talk recently- social media will soon be the only way people get together. Buy stock in the Pigg![/quote]
overeaction!
Vaccine probably available in a few months.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=zk][quote=flu]95% of the shit we post we don’t even mean[/quote]
Speak for yourself, flu.
It’s that kind of shit that ruins a forum, not whatever Brian is doing. Or sprdun. They’re expressing their opinions, however goofy you might think they are. If you disagree with them, you can ignore them or you can tell us why you disagree using reason. But resorting to pure mockery is childish and stupid. Worse, it makes you look like you have no real comeback to what they’re saying. Even worse, posting shit you don’t mean is how forums become completely irrelevant and die.
If you care about this forum, knock it off. If you don’t care about this forum or you think it’s already irrelevant, then leave.
Of course a third option would be to continue to be a selfish jackass, having some fun at the expense of those who do care about this forum.[/quote]
Well, ZK. of we are on the subject of complaining about the posts of others
You do tend to only post about GOP destroying this country all the time on real estate blog at nauseating frequency. There were a few times you posted annoying swipes at religion ( I’m not religious) and various other things. Not sure I understand the point of this either on a real estate blog.I’m simply posting at the same level the few people that brought the blog down to this level has already done so all this time. If you’re unhappy this blog looks like horseshit, well don’t bring your horse here. Now that it all looks like horseshit no horseshitter has an audience.
Don’t worry, once a blog looks like horseshit, the horeshitters usually get bored and move onto another blog to stir horseshit up.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=ltsdd][quote=flu][quote=ltsdd]Good news: I was 60% cash since the beginning of the year
Bad news: I pushed half of it back in yesterday…I think I’ll sit on the remaining 30% until the smoke cleared.[/quote]
Dude, I’m sorry. But you know what, imho, this hysteria doesn’t make any sense, you’ll be fine.
In the future, here’s my advice. Aim small, miss small.
If you have 60% in cash, don’t do what everyone else does and move a huge chunk of it back in all at once. This big bang approach more often times fails than succeeds. You want to diddy it up in smaller blocks. Because you can’t guess absolute bottoms or absolute tops. So for example, move 10% yesterday, move 10% today, more 10% next week, etc. That way if you guess wrong on your timing, you don’t run out of bullets.
I say this, because I learned this the hard way when I was buying selling stocks when i was 20, and got burned on one hand. Everyone at some point learns these lessons at some point or the other, so don’t sweat it. You’ll be fine in the long run.
The good news is you have 50% of your bullets left! That’s still a lot of bullets.
A friend of mine just pointed out JP Morgan is on sale. 2.85% dividend yield. I’m in.[/quote]
Truth is I am at the point where my “go to hell” fund is more than adequate. Conventional logic dictates that I stay the course – stick with what got me here. However, it’s easier said than done since I don’t want to risk losing the financial independent status. I am far more “sad” if I were to lose $100K than I am “happy” gaining $100k. I would not go beyond the 70/30 ratio (cash/equity), but at the same time I like to lock in my profits when it makes sense. I guess in not so many words, I am more focused on protecting what I already have.[/quote]
Gotcha. Totally understandable! I don’t think you have anything to worry about either way.
CoronitaParticipant[quote=BFFBrian][quote=flu][quote=spdrum][quote=flu]Moderna stock doing well today Find all the biotech stocks working on vaccine and ride the wave up.[/quote]
enjoy that ride. I’m moving around some long term core holdings that haven’t gotten hit into some that did. Out of real estate and utilities into financials and tech.
Hi friend:)[/quote]
Thanks friend. That was pretty good advice!
Your other advice I’m contemplating (moving money from funds that are going up, mainly bonds) back into stock…. Not much, thinking of selling a small 10% of BND and VTC and put that into indexes.[/quote]Happy to help[/quote]
The best friends are the ones that tell you to jump when you are scared shitless, lol.

CoronitaParticipant[quote=ltsdd]At some point the health officials going to have to realize the thermometer guns are mostly useless as a line of defense. If checking for someone’s body temperature is all they do then we (US) are not safe. We’re told that a carrier and spreader may not exhibit any symptoms (fever, etc..) for up to 19 days. How useful is that thermometer? Closing up borders sounds drastic but that may have to do until all these smart doctors actually know what they are dealing with. I think it’s mostly speculation on their part up to this part wrt to what the virus is and how exactly it’s spreading.[/quote]
There’s really no fullproof way to check for this. You definitely won’t catch people that don’t have symptoms yet. However, the reason for the thermometer guns is it at least you can try to catch the ones already exhibiting symptoms.
CoronitaParticipantCoronavirus cases spiking in Iran and Italy.
CoronitaParticipantit’s amazing once someone puts Brian in the defensive position, how few new posts get created on piggington 🙂
CoronitaParticipantThere is one thing I was thinking. What if the primary transmission in places like the middle east isn’t human. What if it’s through animals.
I wonder if the Middle East cases came from imported meat from China.
And the other thing is, this virus supposedly originated in animals. What of the food chain in China is tainted? That food chain extends throughout Asia and Middle East and Parts of Europe.
Can the virus survive in dead meat and if so how long? China’s food supply is heavily unregulated (despite what they say).
