I'm tending to agree to agree with you couta1. This flue is a smoke screen. Historically "the flue" has always been harsh on the elderly and those amoung us with other underlying health conditions. A circuit breaker indeed. The market was a straw house waiting for a reason fall. Typical Black swan. History repeating.
"Of the 2503 deaths in Italy to date, only 12 of those fatalities had no previous health concerns. ( So far)"

Couta1, Personally I think you have a partially valid point, perhaps not a smokescreen as such but definitely a parallel issue along with other issues we have with the world economy. As you are all aware, historic data shows the world economy started slowing down around March 2018, it has been limping along since then and we all knew the Bull couldnt last hence the now historic comments regarding "future doom and gloom scenarios". I know I personally made a few comments in that direction around 2018-2019 as I reflected on the obvious chart data emerging/confirming the trends.
I think that when China started to employ its troops to spray disinfectant onto footpaths, shop windows/walls, doorways, public buses, trains etc and to expose public transport vehicles to strong UV light as they were parked overnight is saying something significant about what sort of bug they/we are dealing with. The fact that other nations are starting/following the same actions is statistically significant. This virus can persist for a few hours in the open air and survive for up to 3 days on a hard surface.
