    How could anybody still play this down saying it’s only a bit worse than the flu?

    if that were true then how do you explain the global financial crisis going on right now?

    He is not lapping it up, he is genuinely scared about what the world is facing next few years

    if it is a bio weapon released either by accident or on purpose from that facility in Wuhan then it has been designed specifically for this very purpose 

    this is why it’s so hard to manufacture a vaccine and why it spreads so easily 

    Clif high predicts global financial meltdown this year, but this will be the least of our worries

    listen to this properly

    I have a family member who works for a major supermarket. This particular chain pick and pack online orders from the shelves of the supermarket.
    The pickers say that the volume of work has increased by 15% since last week. Panic buying, surely not.
    There will be no Brexit dividend for Britain.

    Buying to hoard is panic buying. Buying online instead of visiting a shop to reduce social contact seems reasonably sensible. I've been doing it for years.

    More likely people not wishing to expose themselves to human contact in crowded places.

    Probably not enough to stop you going to work and certainly not sufficient to risk not getting paid by self isolating.


    Such a selfish approach perpetuates the problems. 
    What about all the properties that have been rushed into the market to try to sell before the big falls? Are they selfish or just foreword thinking?
    So you are saying there has been a change in behaviour by sellers.
    Yes estate agent told me there is a rush to sell lowering prices 
    What total rubbish, you 100% made that up.
    ALL indicies are showing national increases still, and it is quite clear that China are now on top with other countries now just having to go through that they did for a short while. By all means post bad news on the housing market, but don't post false stories please

    other was due to go to New York in a month and has cancelled
    Wrong decision I would say. There is no panic in NY and Chinese tourist number bottomed out, it is a nice time to be in NY :smile:
    It’s a bit more complicated than that. A family member is an essential part of an important team and cannot afford 14 day’s isolation. When he pulled out the whole group decided not to go.
