Participant[quote=sdrealtor]Only because thats who you spend most of your time close to. Spend time near strangers and I doubt the risk is lower[/quote]
I think that is the whole point (we don’t spend much time with strangers).
But I do understand your point as well in the case of your sister.Just wear a mask when close proximity (indoors especially), wash your hands, self isolate if you feel vulnerable.
Tell your extended family to stay away for now.
BTW China is now using/distributing a vaccine (mostly for its own military, but there are some civilian as well).
I guess they think it works.Participant[quote=spdrun]Meanwhile, we’re down to 0.7 hospital admissions per day per 100k people in NYC – about 50-60 per day, with ICU cases being only about 10% of that. Despite protests, people “hanging out” outdoors, businesses reopening (legally and otherwise).
Actual scientists have been saying that the risk of outdoor transmission is next to zero for months now … beaches should remain open so people have a safe(r) place to do fun stuff and socialize.[/quote]
IMO NY probably reaching the burn out phase same for southern Europe and Sweden.
ParticipantIMO hard lock downs (other than Bars and party type places) unlikely at this point.
IMO closing beaches does little good.
ParticipantIMO Family gatherings are highest risk.
Studies say you’re more likely to get coronavirus from family than strangers

Walking on beach probably fairly low risk.
ParticipantCoronavirus: could it be burning out after 20% of a population is infected?
ParticipantIMO Gold has just about 0 in real value, it’s value is just whatever number people want to put on it.
So it goes up and down for whatever reason people want to use.
OK maybe there is some value for jewelry, rings etc…
ParticipantMaybe it was just a recommendation I saw.
WHO also advises that all confirmed cases, even mild cases, should be isolated in health facilities.
ParticipantFrom what I understand they are putting people in hospitals even if they are not seriously sick.
ParticipantSuburbanization of Shanghai and China

Last time I went there it was starting to look more and more like the suburbs of L.A. , Most of my wife’s old friends live in the burbs and drive cars (SUV’s).
Like Scaredy said If you’er rich maybe City life is good when you are older, if not so rich, probably not so much.
ParticipantThis was a trend that was started “before” the pandemic.
City is fine when young and single, not so much if you don’t fit that criteria.“never to buy apartments because “you only own the air””
Still good advice in most cases IMO.
IMO good talent will demand the ability to WFH going forward and that will accelerate this trend.
ParticipantOlder private residence (parents) in inner circle.
Was in a nice place, just a PITA to get around and carry stuff for a suburban car culture Boy like me.
I guess just not a city person.
ParticipantI lived in Shanghai (carless) for a few months, at first it was kind of neat, but then it became a real PITA after the first week or so (and that was just basically being on vacation). Lots of walking and carrying LOL.
Could not imagine doing it while working etc…
Doing it during the pandemic must have been just miserable.
ParticipantLOL yea maybe but I think the BI still gives a good indicator for market long term value.
The further it gets below 100 the safer a long term S&P Index buy will be IMO.
(March 22 it was about 105 in chart below)
But then again, maybe it will never get below 100 in my life time going forward.ParticipantThe Buffett indicator.
