1-3000 deaths and by June life is pretty normal.

I'm so contrarian that I didn't respond to the thread.

I'm thinking 400 million dead Americans by next week.

Which is still FAR fewer than the number of Americans we'll lose to the scourge of gnu violence in the same span! BAN GNUS NOW!

The DMC/MSM will continue to deliberately hype and inflate the dangers of COVID-19.  Government at all levels will continue to over-react to the threat.  The economy will tank as a result.  Millions of people will be put out of work.  Unemployment will explode.  Economic recovery will take at least 18 months, but likely longer.  Democrats will strengthen their hold on the House, take the Senate, and President Biden will be replaced by Vice President HRC early in the new term after the 2020 elections.  That is exactly the result the MSM/DNC are planning for from their actions.

The threat is *expletive deleted*ing real.  Read up on Italy right now.  See what the *expletive deleted*ck they are going through in the health care sector in the Lombardi province.

Political fights will become more intense, as swamp creatures of both parties attempt to load up the ever-increasing stimulus/health plans with more pet programs and pork unrelated to the virus. (ABCNBCCBSMSNBCCNN may even pick one side to support and one side to excoriate in this.)

Education will change, with more done on-line. Note media reports that Kansas just closed schools for the rest of the year.

Look for BIG issues with security along our border with Mexico once covid-19 really takes off down there. Watch for Democrats and the usual media suspects get the vapors about Trump trying to halt the flow of INFECTED illegals crossing the border. (Also just saw that Guatemala has decided to refuse to accept planeloads of Guatemalans being deported from the USA.)

International relations will become more interesting when it becomes generally accepted that covid-19 came out of a Chicom biowarfare research lab that lost containment, NOT from consumption of undercooked bats, which the Chinese have been doing for centuries. (Western nations and the rest of the world will try to keep a lid on this.)

Trump won in 2016. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or your arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen.

Since everything I predict turns out to be wrong... I'm think we are all going to die.

So now you are safe.

Yeah, this whole thing is a lose-lose scenario for an incumbent.

If deaths are on par with any other flu and draconian measures help ensure that to be the case, it was an overreaction and breach of civil liberties and sabotage of the markets.
If deaths skyrocket well above flu, the incumbent didn't do enough and is a public health policy failure and must be replaced.

A cure will be "found" just in the nick of time and Demoroids will take credit for it.

It will be a flash in the pan panic that knocks out all those pesky small business owners evil entrepreneurs and further convinces the masses of idiots to want socialized health care (and just ignore Italy, 'cause it wasn't done right there)


and because I'm actually an optimist...

Fly over country will be so sick of the idiot masses and the Demoroids obnoxious and obvious manipulations of the truth that Trump nails another four years in office 'cause MURICA!!

J.P. Morgan's updated prediction for GDP:
Quote
Q1: -4%
Q2: -14%
Q3: +8%
Q4: +4%

Full year: -1.5% overall.
I hope we're coming back like that by Q3 but that seems too fast to me.

In the moral, catatonic stupor America finds itself in today it is only disagreement we seek, and the more virulent that disagreement, the better.

I just move 10% of my Lifecycle L fund into C a couple of days ago. I'll probably do another 10% in the next month or so. Through luck and end of year rebalancing, not brilliance, I moved 30% of my C&S funds into my L (my largest fund right now) in December.

Call my cynical, but I'll be surprised if most APS'ers aren't classified as "too wealthy" to receive any sort of payment out of this.

I don't want a payment.  I can take care of myself.  FedGov wants to give me money? Just reduce my taxes.

Are they letting you in? I had two appointments at my VA hospital for Monday (past), and they called me on SUNDAY! to cancel both of them.
