    For most CV is just another flu but...

    Being careful is necessary, being paranoid is unhelpful. going outside to throw out the thrash provides no risk unless you meet people and do not keep the distance with them when you do it. The virus is transmitted from person to person through the droplet of saliva emitted by a person when...

    For most CV is just another flu but...

    Hi I don't know where you live, but in general, provided that you follow the guidelines about hand washing, social distancing, isolation and using a face mask, you should be OK. If you do not enter in close proximity with other people and frequently wash your hands you should not get infected...

    IB trader workstation worth learning ? or piece of junk ?

    TWS is Ok, it is relatively easy to use and it is flexible. I have been using it for 6+ years and I am generally happy with it. It has some issues and some tools that I would like are not availble but overall it is OK

    Let me explain how the Lock down is in Italy: As a general rule you have to stay at home, you can go out for the following reasons: to the supermarket (of pharmacy and very few other commercial outlets) to shop and then you need to wait anything between 1 and 3 hours in queue as they only let...

    For most CV is just another flu but...

    I am sorry but China data is not reliable since the Party is covering up a lot. Italy is more reliable (I live in Italy) but the lock down you have in place in some stated in the US is way less severe than in Italy (or Spain for that matter). Italy has still a long way to go and it is emerging...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    Probably once the crisis will have lost 50m jobs throughout america, however those people will have to be trained because producing microchips is not the same as any other job (for instance you need to works in dust free environment with positive pressure, not so different form Ebola labs...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    that is simply not true, the test is very, very specific for CV19 as it is done by PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) that check if specific RNA sequences belonging exclusively to COV19 are prensent in the sample taken from the nose of the patient. it is a very, very specific test.

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    You have the same level of understanding of world politics and the meaning of areas of influence as Trump, thus your answer... Europe is not choosing China, Europe deals with China because America is not interested in maintaining the special relationship that it has built with Europe fighting...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    TM maybe that is your perception from the US but here in Europe the America First plan is helping China do shopping big time in Europe, Africa and Asia. America is becoming less and less relevant around the world thanks to the BS in chief.

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    I have just talked with some friends in the US (Maryland) and they told me that people are beginning to worry and to be scared, but I agree with you that probably they do not get the scale of what is coming yet. As said I live in Italy and unfortunately I have a first row sit into the CV19...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    sorry but first you say don't believe the media and then you cite a report from a very conservative writer (borderline fascist, IMHO) that has no scientific background so he may have an opinion but he does not have the scientific expertise to be used as a guideline. the slowing down of the...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    so, let me summarize, you say that: the virus has a speed of infection (R0) very high like that of Measeles (12-18) or Chickenpox (12-18) since in only few weeks has already infected 60% of US citizens. if that was true the rate of reported cases would be way higher mortality rate is similar to...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    I am sorry but your idea that 80% of US people are already infected is just not supported by facts, first and foremost if that were true the death rate in the US would be way lower than flue and all scientist say that it is at least 10 times higher, at best 1%, most likely 2-3%. This would mean...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    TD, I do not agree with your numbers with a mortality rate estimated at 1% if 60% of UK people had got the virus the death count would be 360K (60M *0.6 *0.01) and that is not so, not even close at this time. Anyway, on one thing we agree, we will see what happen in the next few weeks. As for...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    I do not trust China's numbers, I think the real numbers for China are way higher, but it is difficult to know. Regarding Italy, what is happening now is that the growth has become linear and it is not exponential any more (each day the number of newly reported cases and deaths is more or less...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    the first two weeks of lock down are needed to separate infected from uninfected at household level, after that you have the member of an infected household getting the virus from the infected member, so another 2 weeks at the very least are needed to see the plateau. after that you need to keep...

    Trump is making a big mistake?

    the first impression is that of a crazy man, but then his propaganda has worked so far, so I only hope people will eventually wake up and realize how dangerous it is to be led by a professional con man, especially during a major crisis. America first is a good slogan but america has never been...
