🤪🤪🤪 COVID-19 Misinformation, Speculation, Conspiracy Theories Thread #1 🤪🤪🤪

The virus seems to be near running its course. Recovered numbers spiking, confirmed numbers leveling, and death numbers dropping. Not confident in China #s but overall this chit seems to be on its way to defeat.

Sooo....what do you all think is going to be the fallout in regards to markets? Apple and several companies already signalling drops in production and profit are going to take significant hits. The knock on affects even on USA and other domestic industries are also set to have a hard year. We about to hit a hard patch? The current environment seems to be one of hopeful waiting, maybe expecting gov't intervention. How bad is it gonna be brahs? I was gonna pull out and decided to stay in. Thinking maybe it won't be bad.

Sounds a bit optimistic but I hope you're right! This thing is pretty scary but they are going crazy in China trying to contain it and hopefully they are doing a good job.

For the markets, I think any China-related stocks are probably going to be good buys in the next few months. I don't think this is going to trigger any bigger crash or bear market. That might be overly optimistic as well, but I think once the weather warms up, the virus will fade a little and production will start ramping back up.

I think we get some Hawaii fear spike + media sensationalism spreading doom/gloom and it gives a HUGE spike down- like 10-15% correction panic. Long equities short options seems to be the potential play.

Sounds like the wuhan hospital director has now died from this mild flu going around China

Visited 4chan against my better wisdom. Disturbing chit going down, back in low grade worry state once again. The CCP bots out in force, it does not seem like this chit is under control, and yet they seem to think they can will it away by putting people back to work. We might be ok here, just financially affected but I think this may be a way bigger problem for China than they are letting on about...

Greetings from China. Well, the huge economic fallout is that currently most people in China haven't worked in about a month now. Many families are dependent on each member of the family to pull their weight as most of them all live together in a single household. Money is tight. Many business owners either haven't been able to pay their employees or have had to completely close their business.

What can we expect? As with any economic disruption you'll see here in the mainland large numbers of unemployment. Only the strong businesses who have enough capital to afford a shutdown will still be around. However, this will breed new competition among the lower markets to fill the voids that have been created by this.

[roosky11]

Zero confidence in this assessment. This thing is just gearing up. Happy to be wrong, but I've got a cruise ship and a little place called Singapore that would beg to differ.

Smart idea during a virus spread to take a cruise. Also I don't think anyone has taken into account a cruise ships ventilation system. Even with quarantine perhaps it is similar to that of a central system where even though people are separated they could still be breathing the same air.

The more coronavirus we have, the more the markets go up. Keep that Wuhan factory pumping.

A third Japanese taxi driver has tested positive and 8 new cases reported there yesterday. Japan and Singapore both need to get their chit together quick.

I wonder what levels Japan would have to reach before we ban travel from there.

Good question. We banned Chinese travel when there were around 12,000 cases. If you actually want to contain something you do it as early as possible you don't just do nothing and say "we're doing our best". This entire situation should prove to everyone that if a particularly nasty bug with a high mortality rate ever gets out we're pretty much fuked, there is no containment thanks to international air travel.

Production has ground to a halt, it'll be a matter of weeks until we see impacts overseas.

Factories outside Hubei are slowly coming back online this week but they're shorthanded and obviously this creates the potential for a second wave of infections.

Honestly too knee deep in all this to go back and look but this was common knowledge last week.

Then you have to worry if ports will even allow ships from China to dock without being quarantined for a month, if at all. That part is speculation on my part but the way everything is unraveling fast it's not unreasonable to expect.

Agreed. We shouldn’t be looking at hard milestones as the benchmark for travel bans, but rather a growth pattern similar to what we saw in China to make the call. No need to wait until it explodes again before acting.


As far China I agree 100% about another wave going through when they open things back up. Maybe not as bad as the first, but then again if they insist on keeping the economy pumping without taking similar preventative measures it has the potential to be even worse.

The virus doesn't last on inanimate objects for more than a week. It takes longer than that to reach the US so its probably fine.

Ship off Tokyo-over 500 confirmed, 2000 tested. They really chit the bed on there. With half the cases (literally) showing up neg before actually being confirmed, wouldn't be surprised if that whole fecking ship gets infected.

Now, the floating petri dish should serve as a very useful indication on the actual mortality rate outside of China. Being as high profile as this story is right now, we'll soon find the real danger of this virus. Most other cases in USA receiving minimal coverage, hopefully this doesn't fade into the news cycle like the original cases (Washington, California, etc.). We shall see...

It for sure tells us something about how easily this thing spreads. It's morbid but will be very interesting to see if there are resulting deaths. This should give us something closer to a true infection/death rate versus just a CFR rate. Also its worth noting that technically this would be best case numbers, early treatment, access to modern healthcare, no major shortages of ICU etc.

Exactly what I was thinking on every point.

A virus called Wuhan-400 causes outbreak … in a Dean Koontz thriller from 1981. How is it that some books appear to prophesy events?

The Eyes of Darkness features a Chinese military lab in Wuhan that creates a virus as a bioweapon; civilians soon become sick after accidentally contracting it
In fact, the one lab in China able to handle the deadliest viruses is in Wuhan and helped sequence the novel coronavirus the world is currently battling

The Eyes of Darkness, a 1981 thriller by bestselling suspense author Dean Koontz, tells of a Chinese military lab that creates a virus as part of its biological weapons program. The lab is located in Wuhan, which lends the virus its name, Wuhan-400. A chilling literary coincidence or a case of writer as unwitting prophet?

In The Eyes of Darkness, a grieving mother, Christina Evans, sets out to discover whether her son Danny died on a camping trip or if – as suspicious messages suggest – he is still alive. She eventually tracks him down to a military facility where he is being held after being accidentally contaminated with man-made microorganisms created at the research centre in Wuhan.

If that made the hair on the back of your neck stand up, read this passage from the book: “It was around that time that a Chinese scientist named Li Chen moved to the United States while carrying a floppy disk of data from China’s most important and dangerous new biological weapon of the past decade. They call it Wuhan-400 because it was developed in their RDNA laboratory just outside the city of Wuhan.”
In another strange coincidence, the Wuhan Institute of Virology, which houses China’s only level four biosafety laboratory, the highest-level classification of labs that study the deadliest viruses, is just 32km from the epicentre of the current coronavirus outbreak

. The opening of the maximum-security lab was covered in a 2017 story in the journal Nature, which warned of safety risks in a culture where hierarchy trumps an open culture.

BREAKING NEWS: Eight test positive for coronavirus in Nashville

Seven Americans and one Chinese have tested positive for coronavirus in Nashville, TN, authorities have said in a statement.

According to the statement, seven people became ill after coming into contact with a Chinese colleague who was visiting from Shanghai and had recently been in Wuhan, the epicentre of the outbreak.

Authorities say the Chinese is still not showing symptoms of the virus despite testing positive and that is why border control did not notice.
