There’s 3000 of them and 7.5 billion of us. If they need quarantine, the boat is perfect, why risk moving them?
Because governments are trying to downplay the severity.!...,multiple tests before +ve!
Look at the Americans who were cleared to fly....then 14 positive.
The 14 day test is a farce. Temp testing is irrelevant.

Or there’s a bunch of Daily Mail readers on there or is it Telegraph, not sure the cruise ship demographic. I imagine a OAP weekend at Butlins

Any of us dead yet?

No, ok, I'll check back in again tomorrow. If I go quiet, someone paint a red cross on my front door, won't you.
That’s not the question. The question is how much will this disrupt everyone’s way of life.
The deaths will be far smaller (hopefully) than the impact.
Place your bet on the central bank reaction. GC’s outlined his estimate.

But the boat clearly wasn't "perfect" was it. Why not move them to a place(s) like the British did with those coming back from China?
That boat is now being described as a petri-dish for very good reason.

From Dr Kentaro Iwata who was on the ship yesterday as an DMAT expert.
Diamond Princess has completely inadequate infection control, and there is no professional ID person in charge. Passengeres, crews, health care professionals working inside are at risk of infection, and the practice is even worse than what I saw in Africa. Immediate action is needed to save people inside.

The boat is perfect if none of them are allowed off. That’s the point of quarantine, to keep those infected away from the rest of the population. It’s stupid to start flying them around the world spreading the pathogen.

Their cars on board the boat is a different question and if it’s not being done correctly then it needs looking at but the last thing that should happen is for them to brought back here.

Not being funny or anything but you are right, we don't really want them here. That sounds so unsympathetic but the herd have to be looked after at the expence of the weak I suppose.
Boris is really dragging his heals at the moment probably for that very reason.

Unbelievable....probably spread through the a/c in which case a plane journey isn’t good,

I had a cup of coffee in Fortnum & Mason’s today. Everyone was looking at everyone else nervously and wondering who would cough next.

I'll go with 7.5, and even then, it might be a low ball.
Well GC you’re the only one interested in some free booze at the mo....odd cause I thought there were a few wine dinkers around these parts.

Anyway, yesterday the Fed needed to create 88 Billion out of thin air because the US economy is so strong ….not affected by the virus.


Yet.

However, global supply chains are collapsing, Apple, Jaguar, Hsbc warnings.....wonder if Aston relies on Chinese parts?


Heres my simple gut check calculation.
So 19/02 -13/8 is 176 days
Lets say it keeps doing that figure for

176days x $88,000,000,000 (at the current pace with no virus in sight)

=15,488,000,000,000

Plus 4,137,052,000,000 current balance sheet.

=$19,625,052,000,000

Nearly 5 times its balance sheet now.....wonder what they'll do with all that cash https://www.sportsmaserati.co.uk/index.php?threads/shares-to-watch.30339/post-747652

Zep will produce a far more accurate formulaic result in due course.
