    Default Dow Jones down -947 so far today

    They're saying the markets are all taking a hit today because of the coronavirus reports around the world. Yikes.

    So some idiots kill all kinds of exotic animals so they can sell them as food in the local markets. They have no way of ensuring freshness and there's an open air market in Wuhan. These folks line up to buy the most disgusting things on earth to eat. They cook it and eat it and get sick. Then they pass it around to others.

    And now the entire world has to suffer as a result.

    Dow Plummets 1,000 Points As Coronavirus Outbreaks Spread Beyond China

    The U.S. stock market opened Monday to steep declines as investors came to grips with fresh outbreaks of the coronavirus outside of China.

    The Dow Jones Industrial Average plummeted 979 points at the open, or 3.4 percent. The S&P 500 opened to a decline of 3.2 percent. The Nasdaq Composite opened 4 percent lower.

    Stocks initially pared back those losses. By 10 a.m. the Dow had climbed more than 200 points from the open, for a decline of around 770 points, or 2.7 percent, from Friday’s close. The S&P 500 was down around 2.5 percent and the Nasdaq had declined by 2.9 percent.

    But stocks then headed down again in early afternoon. By midday, the Dow was down by around 1000 points. The S&P and Nasdaq were also hitting lows of the day.

    The declines in the U.S. follow steep drops around the world. Germany’s DAX, the industrial powerhouse country’s benchmark index, fell 3.8 percent. The FTSE 100, which tracks stocks listed on the London Stock Exchange, dropped by around 3.5 percent. The CAC, France’s benchmark index, tumbled 4 percent. The FTSE MIB, the primary index for Italian stocks, declined by 5.6 percent.

    China has never canceled their party meeting. They are for March.

    This is going to get worse before it gets better.

    They say it came from snakes or bats, whatever, but there's plenty of other info floating around out there that states otherwise... decide for yourself.

    Myself, I'm never in a big hurry to believe the first thing I hear. I think people in general, the world over, are lied to about things on a daily basis... like the Roswell UFO crash was a weather balloon, ya, pfft, after EVERYONE SAID they saw a SAUCER and ALIENS on the ground, they were all threatened to STFU, and the list of things we're lied to about go on endlessly, like the corona virus came from a snake... sure it did... and China is seriously overpopulated and polluted and might not mind culling their herd by a few hundred million people, since that one baby per couple thingie doesn't seem to have worked.
