Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

The aggregate news this morning is rather hopeful, I think, the numbers are coming in under the projections in the US, the southern European countries and NYC MAY have crested and started to decline.  There is a NOTION that some of us, more than thought, have been infected and have some herd immunity with no symptoms, I'm not ready to accept that at this point but it is one explanation for this thing.

The stock market futures are up sharply at this point.  I tend to view them as a bell weather of sorts.

I really think I might have had this thing in mid January. I've never had a flu like that before. I was sick for two weeks, had a fever that wouldn't go away for over a week. My immune system is pretty gangster. I basically never get sick and I've had the flu in the past and always bounced back in a few days. This thing just lingered on forever and kicked my ass for 2 weeks.

I really think a lot of people already had this thing. First of all, the CCP are clearly lying bastards and this infected and killed way more people in China than they let on, and 430,000 people from China traveled to the US since December 31st, 2019- with tens of thousands flying to the US directly from Wuhan- and 400,000 people- the vast majority of these travelers- came in from China in January before the US enacted a travel ban on January 31st. Which by the way, the travel ban went into affect all while the lying CCP and the gutless WHO were telling the world everything is A-OK- no need to slow down travel from China!

This doesn't count the countless millions who must've come in to the US from other countries in Europe, Australia, Africa, and Asia that had been exposed to the Chinese virus via their countries being completely open to travel to/from China.

News from southern Europe and NYC is better than expected.  The model I've been following was revised down in terms of deaths.

The stock market is happy, maybe more than a dead cat thing.

Thanx for your POV

Good morning all, everyone still alive and breathing well?  All good here in the ATX.

Some encouraging news coming in from around the nation and globe for sure.

Yup, alive and kicking here in the MSP.

I did something to my right knee yesterday and it hurts to beat hell right now. Didn't get much sleep, and as such I'm dragging through my Monday morning conference calls.

Stock markets will be just fine. Big business got it's big bailout with that stimulus package. Wall Street just got trillions in government backed low cost credit to pay bills and/or go shopping with and with basically zero over-sight.

It's been a great time to invest if you've have any extra cash laying around. I'd look at a company like Nordstrom. They might be primed for a takeover by Amazon right now. There have been rumors for years that Amazon has wanted to buy them. Walmart made a bid to buy them and the Nordstrom family which still controls most of the voting of the stock shot Walmart down.

It's $15 a share right now, fell all the way to $13 at it's lowest and it was at $42 in January before the coronavirus+ it's latest earnings report came out. If Amazon does make a play to buy them they'll pay a premium and you can bet they'll be buying the company for more than $15 a share.

R&A cancels the Open Championships. 

Not sure who R&A is or what the open championship is?  Is that tennis?  Golf?

R&A is short for the Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St. Andrew's, governing body of golf outside the US and runs the British Open. And yes, it's the golf tourney I was talking about.
