I'm curious to see if the stock market hits the 2008 lows, in which case Trump will have honestly destroyed every achievement Obama ever did.

Which would be quite impressive in and of itself. Just remember:

The amount of additional work that you did (or seem willing to do) on this topic, VB1001, seems to justify that this could be its own thread that is updated periodically. 

I'm not going to create any thread, but it seemed logical to include the links in its list, the work was done by you, I only put the links.
In any case difficult times come with periods of isolation at home, I hope that this list will be useful in moments of boredom.
A few days ago I opened a thread in Off-topic with a series of links with the same objective but with links to museums, art, libraries that are offering free visits and virtual tours, the thread has had tremendous success: 0 answers

Anyone able to recommend a video conference solution with basic privacy in mind?
 
Free if possible.
10-12 participants needed

A friend wants to onboard us to zoom and I got spooked.

Everyone working remotely:

ZOOM monitors the activity on your computer and collects data on the programs running and captures which window you have focus on.

If you manage the calls, you can monitor what programs users on the call are running as well. It's fucked up.

It's a p2p video conference software. Works very well.

+1, I have setup an instance last week for friends and family and I have to say I am excited how good it works. Can even be hooked up to a SIP PBX so people from ordinary phones can join in.

In my case I used a VPS with 2 CPUs and 2GB RAM running Debian, tested it with 5-6 participants.
Had the first "virtual" dinner with parents yesterday and while strange it gave some feeling of normality.

[psycodad]

Free if possible.

if it's free...YOU are the product

..or open source. I agree with your general sentiment, but OSS is a bit a different story.

If you guys worry about uncertainty, do I have some "good news" for you!

“I’m definitely going to get it. We all are,” N.J.’s top health official Judith Persichilli says matter-of-factly. “I’m just waiting.”

It will probably be mild. She’ll feel sick for a few days, then hopefully get better, she says. It may not be this month or this year. But, she’s studied all the coronavirus pandemic algorithms and consulted the experts. It’s coming for her — and me. And you, she fears.

Seeking the decoupling...

Here's where we are in the timeline compared to the 2008 banking crisis.

Decoupling of safe havens from equities showing hints it may have begun (i.e. when BTC and Gold go bullish). We'll have more confirmation in a week.

Flight to safety 101:

1) Traders exit risk-on leveraged positions and sit in USD. Retail investors sell to USD for runway (hard times ahead). All assets crash against USD.

2) After peak fear, best assets for hedging the times ahead rise in value (Gold 2008, Gold & BTC 2020)

Lots already did have it, some not even notice it. Also varies a lot from country to country.

... this sounds awful, over 60's no longer being given access to ventilators in Italian hospitals.
I guess this is coming to UK and other deficient healthcare systems where the government let the outbreak become overwhelming.

https://www.jpost.com/International/Israeli-doctor-in-Italy-We-no-longer-help-those-over-60-621856

Peleg said that, from what he sees and hears in the hospital, the instructions are not to offer access to artificial respiratory machines to patients over 60 as such machines are limited in number.

... don't know anything about jerusalem post as a news source though,

Translation: FUD, bla bla bla, FUD, blah, I'm Jewish.

That be called Koreck.

BULLSHIT.

Lambie bambie, et al cannot be spouting out the same talking points.

You twat. Easy to talk when someone is not around hah?

They got's ta mix it up a little bit and to keep us WO participants entertained with nonsense.

Wow! Yeah man, let's have another analysis.

In other words, brainstorming (washing) briefenings all weekend long.  Not an easy job for lambie bambie et al coming up with idea-ers, to creatively/entertainingly spout out nonsense in the WO thread.  

Salt, ASAP!

But who the fuck knows. Anybody who says they know is One of "Them". (tm)

BOO-YA, nailed it bro.

Oh Marcus sugar, do tell us everything you know.

Thus far, lackenings of responsiveness (besides v8), could be that the quarantine yourself by visiting some physical location(s) comes off as an internally contradictory assertion in these times of pandemic?

#Harvey, will not kill himself

[JayJuanGee]

I'm getting the fear again.

Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I will remain.

Bob doesn't appear likely to "mindrust meltdown." ^tm  this time.

Estimating death rate... I think South Korea's numbers are most reliable, since they don't have authoritarian censorship culture, but they DO have LOTS of test kits available.

https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-southkorea-toll/south-korea-reports-fewest-new-coronavirus-cases-since-february-29-peak-idUSKBN21A043

The Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (KCDC) said there were 64 new cases on Monday, taking the national tally to 8,961. The death toll rose by one to 110.

110 out of 8,961 is about 1.23%.

Hah! Good one.

That is an interesting map of confirmed cases below the story.

So far, Molokai (the former leper colony island in hawaii) still has no cases. They've hated foreigners for quite a while, seems to be paying off.

If I had to guess if there was one person on this forum that was actually a bonafide government plant, it would have been roach. He was just so persistent about being so wrong and stupid, it boggles the mind. Perhaps his "skills" are being focused on disrupting social media outlets more closely related to the pandemic. He'll be back to put hours in here after it subsides.

Maybe he was advanced to the CT twitter squad, with double salary and home-office work with free scheduling.
He was really like the nazi QOTD service of bitcointalk.
