House and Senate Democrats Are So Serious About the Coronavirus Threat... That They Want to Take Away The President's Ability to Impose Travel Restrictions During Epidemics
Below, some twitter reactions to the media's obvious efforts to stir up a coronavirus panic. WARNING: These statements have not been verified by Noted Infectious Disease Expert Doctor Guy P. Benson, Ph.D., nor by his team of virology researchers at his world famous Swiss clinic. So the status of the below claims is "Unknown" at the moment.
House and Senate Democrats are responding to the coronavirus outbreak in the United States by supporting measures to effectively strip President Trump of his authority to impose travel bans to protect American citizens. While Trump has implemented travel bans on China and Iran -- two of the most coronavirus-affected nations in the world -- House Democrats are looking to roll back the president’s authority to enact travel bans from regions of the world. The “No Ban Act,” introduced by Rep. Judy Chu (D-CA) and co-sponsored by 219 House Democrats, would have prevented Trump from immediately implementing a travel ban on China once the outbreak of the coronavirus spread past its origins of Wuhan. Instead, the No Ban Act would have allowed travelers from Wuhan to continue to arrive in the U.S. while the president received guidance from Congress. "This bill imposes limitations on the President’s authority to suspend or restrict aliens from entering the United States and terminates certain presidential actions implementing such restrictions," a summary of the legislation reads.

OK, let's ban travel from the hot zones so we don't import more cases while we work on controlling the ones we have
WHAT? WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU DO THAT? ARE YOU SOME KIND OF XENOPHOBE?
Corporate political media hate you, they hate the country, and they will stop at nothing to reclaim power to rule over you. If that means destroying the economy via a panic they helped incite, all while running interference for the communist country that started it, so be it.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) March 12, 2020
Communist China unleashed a viral plague on the world, covered it up, and is now trying to blame the U.S. for the whole thing. And if that weren't bad enough, U.S. corporate political media, some of which are literally paid to run Chinese propaganda, are actively helping.
— Sean Davis (@seanmdav) March 12, 2020
One of the major Wuhan Virus takeaways for America, no matter what happens, should be that the Chinese government is a threat to the US and should be treated as such. https://t.co/4XPRGHx4ec

I was wondering the same thing. What's up with the run on lysol and bleach? They've been out of wipes as well. I mean, I guess if you've got kids... But since it's mostly airborne, clean surfaces aren't going to help.
TP, food, things like that I can see if you're flat on your back for 2-3 weeks it'd be nice to not have to go out. But I just don't see deciding you're so sick you can't sleep so you might as well get up and clean the bathroom.

And yet, the "judiciary" flagrantly ignored the law, and interfered with this president's clear and completely lawful actions to protect national security, based on common sense and intel analysis about risk assessments for people from failed-state hotbeds of terrorism.
And disastrously, the DOJ did anything other than deliver a nukyler ass-blistering lecture to the "courts" and repudiate their lawlessness.

That being said at some point it's going to die down, the economy will rally (probably before November) and then you have the Democrats still all-in on open borders somehow?? I can't believe they haven't backed off of that. The Democrats are also likely to oppose any sort of popular ideas Trump throws out there like payroll taxes and they won't have a good explanation why they oppose them.

It's not the flu. If it was a different flu strain, thems the breaks. It's some sort of Chinese modified virus. No one is exactly sure what it does or if it will mutate. Simply slowing the spread is the goal.

I said this a few weeks ago.
They needed something to hurt Trump. Everything discovered or engineered has completely collapsed.
A new virus pandemic happens to come along, and they latch onto it like nobody's business. They didn't control the timing, they just took advantage of something when it came along.
Assuming this doesn't become a huge thing for months on end, it'll peter out before the Democratic National Convention. It won't attack the fundamentals of the economy for more than a few weeks and the economy will recover. The perception won't be that Trump bungled the economy, but that the economy reacted to a major global event.

Italy's foreign minister has said the severe restrictions brought in as a result of the coronavirus are a way to defeat it.
Luigi Di Maio told the BBC the measures imposed in the first area of the outbreak were proving effective.
Two
weeks after the first 10 towns in northern Italy were declared a "red
zone" and put under lockdown, he said they had no new infections.
This then served as a model to tighten measures across the country.

I can tell you one thing that's driving TP madness.
Lady YD isn't very concerned about Coronavirus. She thinks it's just the usual hype and craziness we've come to expect from our faggoty media.
But she knows that OTHERS are taking it seriously and making a run on TP - and she doesn't want to be caught flatfooted without toilet paper for her family.
So today, she went and bought a bunch in case the Virophobes get it all first. It's a feedback loop.

Which does nothing to repair the damage done by the judiciary 3 years ago. Oh and BTW, it's even worse than you think.
Inferior courts have repeatedly defied SCOTUS (which upheld the "ban", which of course was actually a suspension, and therefore was completely vitiated in its impact by the delay in enforcement) by issuing new injunctions with the laughable rationale that the cases in question were "different", even though they engaged exactly the same presidential authorities.
Even the forms of constitutional, lawful, good-faith governance are no longer affected by the judiciary, and of course the elected Dems.

Sounds good to me, but remember that when you buy mutual funds (at least thru Fidelity), the order isn't placed until the end of the day. So if there's a big bump during the day, you'll buy at a higher price than in the morning. Individual stocks you can buy on the market immediately though.

I know some are predicting the market keeps going down. I guess it is likely.
But I'm invested in a broad range of stocks across all the sectors, all of them with strong earnings who are still making things that people are buying.
Common sense is telling me that just like the panicked over reaction to this virus, that the predictions for long term economic collapse are also over reactions.
In two week either half the country is dead from this pandemic, or things are back to normal and suddenly everyone realizes that nothing really happened, we just had a long freak out that really had no impact.
My retirement plan was focused on 7 years from now, not much I can do about it now. I still own a lot of shares of some excellent companies. I don't think they are going out of business or going to stop making money.
Hell, about 10% of my portfolio is in my own company. We are down about $60 per share. But we have over a billion cash on hand, an orders backlog we can barely fill, more work that we can find employees for, and prior to this the analysts were saying we are 24% under valued.
I think I'm going to spend some time playing video games and wait for normality to return.

Only the initial phase of an epidemic is exponential, when the number of infected and recovered is vanishingly small fraction of the total population.
Once it becomes significant it slows down.
Here's Wiki's elementary page on the infectious disease modes, sets of differential equations, the simplest of which being the SIR model:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/
Compartmental_models_in_epidemiology
While there is no general analytic solution to these, numerical plots can be done and you can see the curves.
Basically, it's an initial exponential, then slows down, peaks, and declines.

A couple of things. First quarter is only a few weeks away. Most companies report quarterly and the market will start to react to each company profits instead of as a market. Secondly they will also will react to each companies statements of what they think the impact will be.
And finally wall street companies report quarterly too, so if they have profits now they are probably locking them in.

Here's a plot from the SIR page of a typical solution form to the SIR equations:
https://preview.tinyurl.com/yx3m7pdn
Blue curve is the number of susceptible, green is number of infected, and red is recovered.
Note the form of the green curve. Only the very initial phase is exponential. It peaks, then declines back to zero. That is the typical form of an epidemic.
Of course, that's just a very basic model. Real world epidemics are much more complex, but that gives you the basic behavior.

I think at this point people aren't sure if companies have fundamental loses or not. For instance, Lockheed took a beating today. Why? Is something they are doing putting them at risk, like some major venture in Europe, or is it just this dumb panicked market. Earnings are real data to make decisions on.

I will always remember an economist I knew well back in the early 80's, he told me that he always laughed at "official" oil price projections. He pointed out that all projections show this nice, straight sloping line going up into the future - except if you pull up a chart of the entire 20th century, you will see that on about a 20 cycle oil prices shoot up, then they level, then they completely collapse for a few years, then they creep up, then they spike, then they collapse, over and over again.
So now we'be back to the Total Collapse part of the cycle. Well, i lived through it once before, in 1986. At least Texas is a bit more diversified now than it was then. Every State based bank in Texas went bankrupt in 1986 - there used to be a lot of them.

I think stagnation is more likely. Stagnation can go on for quite some time. Price drops only happen when a large number of people are forced to sell, and I don't see that pressure coming yet. In 2008 the junk mortgage problem had put a lot of people into houses who could not afford the monthly payments, and they had to liquidate.

You are talking about the Savings & Loan industry which thrived on the 3-6-3 Plan (pay passbook savings 3%, lend at 6%, leave office at 3PM). GHW Bush kiilled that industry quick when the interests rates went stupid and the RTC started shutting down everything.
I'm waiting for the Texas Education Cartel to tap the Rainy Day Fund when the oil severance payments dry up and then demand Texas adopt an income tax.

They are the ones who put a third party in-between the FDA and CDC to
regulate who could make, distribute, or order tests of virulent
cotangents. The scarcity of test kits and difficulty in getting tested
is DIRECTLY DUE to DEMOCRATS and their over regulation.
But they blame 'orange man bad'.

Well, I am taking a beer break, after having successfully strung wire for another branch circuit, and tying it into an unused breaker on the service panel. The outlet into which this computer is plugged is now tied in directly to the panel, instead of fed by an extension cord plugged into another outlet. This entailed a fair amount of attic creeping.

Also, there's a good discussion on medical testing a bayes theorem in the morning thread links.
Specificity and Sensitivity even at 99% which they aren't - doesn't make sense to test everybody. Test people who are symptomatic, and at risk yes. Basically we don't do stress tests on everyone for the same general reason. If you are symptomatic, or in a risk group yes. Not really screening test.
All screening is pretty ineffective but we limit that based on risk groups colonscopy over 50 unless you have family hx then 40.
The left knows this, but they also know it is hard to explain bayes theorem and have it make sense to the average human.
They're a bunch of dicks who have no interest in anything but their own power.

Europe is farther along the curve than we are (about 10k diagnosed) and have tightly constrained medical facilities. Expect maybe 50-100 k diagnosed cases by the end of the weekend depending on how effective Italy's constraints are.
Don't go to Europe as things are going to get bad there before they get better. UK is in a bit better shape but then again, the NHS and they are going to have to kill travel to the ME, especially Iran, and Pakistan.
