A patently bad argument. No company was forecasting a pandemic in their 5-year plan. Doesn’t mean American or any other firm should receive special treatment. American Airlines alone has a market cap today of $4.7B. They could dilute by 20%

Dr. Peter Attia did a few podcasts with a virologist discussing this. It’s helpful in the short term, but not effective for longer than a few weeks apparently. Also there may be scaling issues?

Worth noting that this will be the 3rd industry which Warren Buffett has been both invested in and bailed out of during a crisis.

For example paying down debt instead of loading up like American Airlines did.

We don’t know much about this virus still. Time is vital.

It amazes me that anyone is Ok with millions of people catching a brand new virus that we know very little about. https://www.sciencealert.com/even-those-who-recover-from-cor... Polio, but for lungs.

# of test kits. The US can currently test something like 7800 people per day as of yesterday. Some other system constraints to think about are: 1M hospital beds 70k ventilators

Really interesting point regarding severe cases. One follow-up - why do you think we had so many severe cases in late Feb? I still think we can all acknowledge at this time that this is an endemic virus. Containment is no longer possible.

When and how do you see it being contained?

On it's face it's actually great for consumers and business, but no market likes sudden price dislocation as big as this. The high-yield bond ETFs have been crashing as global supply economic concerns mounted around the coronaviru

Correct. Conventional War =/= Guerrilla War Guerrilla Wars can go on for decades even with lots of boots on the ground.

Things are about to get real. If launched from Iranian territory there is a pretty clear case for the US to go to war. I know the “WW3” meme is popular right now but Iran is only a regional power and would likely lose a conventional war qui

I have been skipping breakfast for the past year. This works for me when nothing else has. I started a new job which is highly unpredictable and involves a lot of last minute travel. Due to the stress, lack of sleep, etc I had gone from 165

If you like to be outdoors, camping etc or in situations where glasses could be broken it is a no-brainer. Also if you do the math it can potentially save you money on contacts and the ever-obnoxious eye checkups. 9 years since I had it don
