took $50K off last week. Lightened off on the speccies; and this means I won't sell good assets at bad times, if that situation arises.

I thought 2020 was going to be a bumper year, but a pandemic could certainly put paid to that plan.
I think the lack of concern in Aussies is typical "she will be right Mate"
Most people who work for a living have tuned out of the 24/7 media frenzy
The scare mongering on SARS, the annual panic about the almost useless flu shots and the incessant, hysterical shrieking about climate change/catastrophe has caused a high degree of scepticism of what is presented as "news" by today's media
However, Asian folk have a completely different view, in my area we get a lot of tourists of Asian descent who often wear face masks.
The most common are from China, Korea and Japan and up to 50% of women will have a mask on.
I would expect that in most Chinese cities people have a stockpile of masks so not that big a change to their habits but if this continues to worsen a shortage could lead to panic in the populace.
Here in Oz the obvious solution is to quarantine everyone who has been to China recently for 14 days in their own home.
No different to staying home with any other illness and very cheap to implement.
This chap writes for The Guardian, itself " a closed, paranoid and authoritarian society."Just as I suspected. We'll probably never know the real death toll. This is the sort of thing that inevitably happens in a closed, paranoid and authoritarian society.
actually the ABC reports it as the Christmas Island Detention Centre. What's wrong with these people ! (not ?)Some families said they would prefer to stay in Wuhan — the epicentre of virus that has infected more than 7,000 and killed 170 — rather than send their children to [] Christmas Island...
WHO declaring global emergency.Chernobyl
you know....how we'd never know how many hundreds of thousands would die
and didnt
in Australia alone 3500 people on average per year die of ....the flu
how many people will die this year directly resultant: Alzheimers, heart disease, HIV or hypertension?
answer tens of thousands ...here, in Australia
people are primed for the fear for themselves, fear is an expression and not an actual calculated reaction that provides any edge to action
peak terrorist fear has passed by, but, that's not a headline, comparatively, terrorism has plummeted yet not matched by the fear of terrorism
if your topical news or social media reflex is not immediately checkable how do you know it's reliable ?
how do you know that your reaction to what youre receiving is not merely a reflection of yourself ?
the cost of the current (fill in the blank) is not the thing itself rather it is the disposition to the thing itself
of course this post comes across as philosophical and if your triggered to fear you'll dismiss it.... in the instance of effective action how effective is fear ?
that was fun, where's my beer ...la cerveza mas fina

It works both ways did China bother to help us with bush fires?
Canada, Usa even Singapore sent some kind of help even if symbolic.
And all the Chinese buying baby formula from here and sending it back, they don't give a sh about locals so same response
The Chinese didn't put up news articles saying "Australian bushfires are Australian's fault" or something degrading. During the bushfires there was extensive sympathetic coverage of it in China and elsewhere in the world (during that time i travelled there so i know).
Also I wasn't specifically targeting Australia, I was saying in general. But yes Australian tabloid have been responsible for such endearing headliners like "China Virus spreads the globe!" and "Chinese stay at home". It's wrong because the media outlets didn't called Ebola "Congo virus" or "African disaster" in the news or imply we shouldn't let any Africans in the country.
Chinese buying baby formula products from homegrown Australian companies is not racism. If you think that you're thick.
Yes it is a Chinese virus, moreover it is not even impossible for it to be a Chinese made virus.you need to cool down, i think the response in Australia has been quite gentleThe Chinese didn't put up news articles saying "Australian bushfires are Australian's fault" or something degrading.

On one hand agreed that China doesn't seem to have done anything nasty to Australia in regard to the fires. At least not to my knowledge.The Chinese didn't put up news articles saying "Australian bushfires are Australian's fault" or something degrading.

As just one example of the economic implications, apparently P2 masks are now rather hard to obtain in Australia.
