    Why Is The Obvious Not So Obvious?

    obvious pre-requisite to (successfully) trading any market is EXPERIENCE and CONTROL, without these there is no way to make money consistently. I believe that once these pre-requisite are acquired all the rest (method, risk management, position sizing, etc.) will come into place fitting...

    The seemingly low impact of Covid19 in India may be due to different factors: India seems to be coming relatively late in the pandemic, first cases detected in March while Italy was already at its worst in mid march. low number of tests performed, about 1 test per 1000 people, US is at 25...

    Assuming your numbers are correct, this means that Covid has a mortality rate that is at least 10 times higher than Influenza, if you add that the R0 for Covid19 is between 1.6 and 5.7 while that for the seasonal flu is between 0.9 and 2.1, you have a virus that is not only more deadly but also...

    yes some are, some are not also thanks to lock down slowing the spread of the disease. ask NY health care personnel, ask the same in Bergamo, Brescia, Madrid. of course in some area the virus has been stopped before it reached that level of infections. I mean so far it killed more American...

    the problem with Covid is not only the higher mortality rate relative to the flue, it is the speed of diffusion the so colled R0 which in normal condition is way higher than that of the flue. so, of course people die with the flue but they do so a little at a time without ever overwhelming the...

    take your disinfectant injection and you'll be fine. of course people are dying from covid unrelated deaths, when the health system is overwhelmed by covid patients influx, people die of any disease. However accusing the lock down is just wrong, without the lock down the influx would only be...

    New York Flu vs CV

    The problem with this comparison is that covid and spanish flue are not the same virus and may well behave very differently. In fact, the spread of the virus in work areas of the planet seems to indicate that without social distancing (and others) measures the virus may well keep spreading in...

    New York Flu vs CV

    well, we have a test case for your theory, Georgia. Let's see how the lack of lock down measures will do for that state in the coming weeks, compared to other states still in lock down.

    New York Flu vs CV

    ah, also, people will keep get infected and dying in the coming months as the covid will not miraculously disappear, but the will stand a better chance of survival because the health system will be able to care for them and hopefully the studies of therapeutically protocols that are being...

    New York Flu vs CV

    Actually it is the opposite, I know for sure that in Italy and UK the death attributed to covid are way less then the actual deaths excess compared to the previous years. They may not all be due to covid directly but when the health system is overburdened by unmanageable influx of patients...

    New York Flu vs CV

    here below the graphic representation of the cases in the UK: as you may notice the numbers starts to go down about 2 weeks after the beginning of lock down (March 23rd), so unless you think that that is just a coincidence, the lock down really made a significant difference in the progression...

    New York Flu vs CV

    and for all those saying that the lock down did not save a single life: bullshit, before lock down the number of people infected and dying was increasing exponentially (for those lacking basing math, this means 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64 and so on), after lock down the growth has become linear ( 1, 2,3...

    I don't know where you live but here in Milan most health workers were busy managing a tremendous influx of covid patients, so all other non essential medical sector were shut down or working at reduced capacity. I have a personal friend who is a pediatric surgeon that has been working in covid...

    Also, keep in mind that we all need to start thinking long term how to live with the virus as it won't miraculously go away with the coming of April like someone said:banghead: The virus is here to stay, so we just need to learn how to live with it. we cannot simply stay locked in our homes...
