‘It’s just the flu’

P.S.  ‘All flights to the EU is cancel’ & ‘all meetings on the coronavirus are classified’

Everything is fine.  Nothing to see here. Please stop selling stock, it’s making me look bad.

How about some tax breaks?  That will make everyone feel better...

Ok, so what are your suggestions? Everyone is so quick to criticize everything. What would YOU do?

So no quoting President Trump?

From CNN:

Trump continued by discarding his own administration's advice to stay home if you're feeling sick: "If we have thousands or hundreds of thousands of people that get better, just by, you know, sitting around and even going to work, some of them go to work, but they get better, and then when you do have a death, like you've had in the state of Washington, like you had one in California, I believe you had one in New York." No deaths have been reported in New York.

"You know," Trump said, "all of a sudden it seems like 3 or 4%, which is a very high number, as opposed to a fraction of 1%. But again, they don't know about the easy cases because the easy cases don't go to the hospital. They don't report to doctors or the hospital in many cases. So I think that that number is very high. I think the number, personally, I would say the number is way under 1%." 

to be fair:

"Every one of these doctors said, 'How do you know so much about this?' Maybe I have a natural ability. Maybe I should have done that instead of running for president."

the lack of consistency on this terrible, yet not so bad, virus is weird. sit around and go to work does not need apple and other tech companies to help.

Here’s the thing. This virus is far more transmissible than the flu, even though it has a narrower group of people it might kill than the standard flu (it affects people who are older and with impaired lung function. Smokers seem to be affected more also).

And the initial very low numbers of people affected in the US gave the impression that it wouldn’t spread as fast as China. Clearly that was incorrect. Even so, should more have been done in the very beginning of the spread to the US? That’s a pointless exercise because there was no consensus that such a thing should happen right away. And it’s almost certain that the entire population will eventually be exposed to the Coronavirus.

I admire what Musk does.  He's a rockstar in my book... but whatever Musk.  Maybe it's "fresh blood" engineers that are breaking the software?  Maybe it's not iOS that was buggy, but maybe identified a problem with Musk's email system?  Lot's of assumptions being made here.

Fresh blood is necessary in every industry.  Experience, especially of those that have been in the industry a while is even more preferred as far as I'm concerned.

We really need to have some perspective...

We should be careful and mindful with the coronavirus, but putting out a news story about one employee in Ireland getting it is a symptom of being panicky and obsessed with it. That mindset has caused more problems for the general public (such as financial hits) than the coronavirus itself. The flu kills far more people every year than the coronavirus likely will (given the careful approach we’ve been taking), yet when was the last news story about some random employee at Apple getting the flu? 

The only reason the infection rates in the US are so low, is because tests aren't being performed in the volumes they need to be.

So I take it you are an official at CDC to have access to this information. Or at the very least you are a physician with extensive knowledge and experience in epidemiology and disease containment strategies. Thanks for sharing with us.

Who gets to do "after hours trading"? Certainly not the individual investor, right? If certain investors get to buy and sell securities over the weekend why is the stock market "closed" on Saturday and Sunday. I don't get this.

I guess all your "hard earned" money made from owning stock in Apple will be gone soon. Maybe another huge tax break for the 1% would make it right? 

It's times like these when the communists crawl out of the woodwork promising a chicken in every pot even though they know they can't deliver on that promise. "They pretend to pay us and we pretend to work" is an old Russian saying. Time to send the rich to reeducation camps and confiscate their wealth. Oh wait, that's Bernie's plan. My bad.

He’s a socialist not a communist. Get your FUD right. 

He’s really more of a Marxist.
