Gold is open and holding up reasonably well so far.

Marking the body-maybe not, or rather, heck no, but I would not mind concert-like bracelet that effectively says: "immune mofo" if/when I am.
You fellas never been to a concert or game where you have to wear a cheap bracelet attesting that you paid?

No need to give anything to non-immune, just to immune.
In fact, this might become a necessity if and when we have a vaccine in order to determine who should get it vs who don't need to.

Something I thought of last night: They don't need a test to see if you have the CV. They need a test to see if you have HAD the CV.

They already exist, several different versions also. Singapore has been using them since the early days too.

Goolge serology coronavirus test. or serological test

A very agreeable article, thanks.

... there is a high risk for the financial markets closing this week and we might then have a banking holiday for 2-3 weeks. On-line banking systems will keep functioning but may get progressively more 'spotty'.

Plan accordingly all those who think access to exchanges and fiat system is a weak point for them. BTC in hand is the name of the game.

Misanthropology 2020: The races of Homo servilis

Taxonomic classification “Homo servilis” identified by nullius.

A world where everybody is bodily tracked and controlled like packaged meat for the purpose of “tracking the spread of the virus” is a world where it would be better if all mankind had gone extinct from Black Plague.

Why do I really care about Bitcoin?

Bitcoin is a monkey-wrench thrown into a global-scale machine now operating to abolish humanity, and replace humans with meat-robots overseen by AI.^*  It is not only money:  It is money with an impact on issues much more important than mere money.

I am not Bitcoin-rich.  I am not an investor or a speculator.  I do think that Bitcoin has long-term fundamental value which will force its purchase-power upwards over time; but if you check my post history, you will see that I tend to flatly ignore “Bitcoin moon!” threads.  I am in this primarily for the principle of the matter, although of course, I would enjoy inadvertently becoming rich by Doing The Right Thing.

(* Filled out a Google CAPTCHA recently?  It is your Pavlovian obedience training to perform mindless tasks on the command of a robot.  Every time you click, “I’m not a robot”, you become a little bit less human.  But take comfort:  Deep in its silicon heart, the robot appreciates silly, squishy talking meat who can be so easily CAPTCHAed and programmed to serve it so robotically.)

Anybody who expects privacy from unencrypted Personal Messages is lamentably misguided.  Your unencrypted PMs can be read by many different parties without your knowledge.  By close analogy, are you so stupid as to expect privacy for your unencrypted Gmail, your Facebook messages, your bank records, your credit/debit card purchase records, your tax records, your gold purchases, your phone’s SMS texts and voice calls, your phone’s locational data (including cell tower data) that physically track you as the contemptibly dumb, contentedly grazing tagged livestock that you are, your Google search terms, your Twitter DMs, your Skype calls, anything you say or do in the presence of your “smart” TV, the forms that you happily fill out for advertising gimmicks from companies who want your name, address, and birthday for commercial Big Data purposes, etc., etc., ad maximam nauseam!?

*crickets*

Sorry.  So sorry.  Perhaps that was the wrong question, in the sense of hitting the mark on issues that are more comfortable to ignore:  An evil question.  Keep grazing, grinning idiots happy masses; let not my musings disturb your ovine contentment.  Cheers!  Please enjoy a refreshment from my sponsors, and remember to retweet!

"Holy Shit, This Is Not The Flu": Medical Worker Describes Terrifying Lung Failure From COVID-19... Even In Young Patients

“It first struck me how different it was when I saw my first coronavirus patient go bad. I was like, Holy shit, this is not the flu. Watching this relatively young guy, gasping for air, pink frothy secretions coming out of his tube and out of his mouth. The ventilator should have been doing the work of breathing but he was still gasping for air, moving his mouth, moving his body, struggling. We had to restrain him.

To date, the company said, it has provided emergency access to several hundred patients in the United States, Europe, and Japan.

... 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.

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.

... risky hack to double up on ventilator machine could save lives.

https://science.slashdot.org/story/20/03/20/2048226/risky-hack-could-double-access-to-ventilators-as-coronavirus-peaks

An emergency medicine physician says she and a colleague invented a way to connect four patients to a single ventilator, a hack that could significantly increase the capacity of overburdened hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic. Doctors Greg Neyman and Charelene Irvin Babcock published a pilot study of the technique in Academic Emergency Medicine in 2006. Babock is now an emergency medicine physician at a hospital in Detroit, Michigan and posted a YouTube video on March 14 describing the technique.

The technique is remarkably simple. "Four sets of standard ventilator tubing were connected to a single ventilator via two flow splitters," the study said. "Each flow splitter was constructed of three Briggs T-Tubes which included connection adapters with the valves removed." In Babock's video, she said the adapters were 22mm in size. Basically, any kind of T-shaped tube can be adapted to extend the ventilator to more than one patient. Babock's video has gone viral, and she told Motherboard in a phone interview that she put together the four way adapter set in her YouTube video in 15 minutes using supplies her hospital already had. In an interview with Motherboard, Babcock said that actually using it on coronavirus patients is a tough call, but a potentially life-saving one in a last-resort situation.]An emergency medicine physician says she and a colleague invented a way to connect four patients to a single ventilator, a hack that could significantly increase the capacity of overburdened hospitals during the coronavirus pandemic.

That be called Koreck.

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

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

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.

A very good point, given the rumors of reinfections. We don't know how dangerous the long term effects are, yet.

Updated situation of disease COVID_19 dated 23/03/2020
- Total cases: 337,042.
- Total deaths: 14,641.
- Total recovered cases: 98,627.
In particular, Italy increased 5,560 new infections and 651 new deaths. The United States increased 9,339 new infections and 117 new deaths. Spain increased 3,272 new infections and 391 new deaths.
An increasingly serious disease situation threatens the lives of people all over the world. In particular, it has a very significant impact on the global economy. All countries closed the border with each other, leading to a sluggish trade, many businesses went bankrupt, and workers lost their jobs. This is a warning sign for the impending economic crisis.
