Why waste your bullets? I think the Fed could have been
much more productive behind the scenes than trying to create a
short covering rally. Take the Billions being floating into
the repo market and give half to Biotech companies, Preventive
protection companies and lab diagnostic companies to be able to
accurately test and diagnose people at the local level. We
live a world of "panic" and common sense it thrown out with the
baby. CA governor declares a "state of emergency".
What for? you have a dozen or so cases, why panic
people even more? Have a contingency plan, educate people,
calm the public not create even more hysteria. It becomes a
self fulfilling prophecy. How many kids die of cancer a
year, How many die of FLU? How many die of opoids overdose?
Educate the public on how to take care of them self
if sick or family member, make sure people can get water,
toilet paper, soap, basic needs, not just pull the fire alarm and
run.

I do not get the feeling that our gov't is doing that, creating
panic at all. The media, on the other hand has every reason to fan
the flames of fear - it sells newspapers and ad clicks. I think
good health info has been pretty well offered. But I hear on cable
news "There's chaos in NYC." Yet here out on Broadway everybody is
going about their business as usual. A few hundred nuts cleaning
out Costco and one lady needlessly wearing a mask in the
supermarket. But more deaths from the flu every year than this
current thing. As for the Fed I thought Powell was smarter than
that...
Agreed. People die from pneumonia, complications caused by
the FLU and Coronavirus. I am not virologist but I
have been working in healthcare for over 30 years and I always get
a pneumonia vaccine and not the FLU shot. An old time MD that
was pretty damn smart who was my MD growing up put me onto
that.

I agree it seems like every thing the media and US gov are doing is counter productive and just causing more panic
