You can go outside.
Or you can put the kettle on and google it.
Well, that bear rally didn’t seem to last too long. 
A interesting note. The FTSE 100 is lower now than it was at the end of 1997. 23 years of going nowhere

Wall St may have to start working from home all five days a week.
I’m self isolating currently… Temp hit 40.5C (105 in old money), but not sure it’s covid - NHS 111 said they won’t test me and for me to just stay isolated for 7 days. I think I caught something from work as a few others emailed before I had to say they were unwell.
Also, RE: Italy mortality rate, @101 @Jamie1088 @Marsares I think there was discussion about NSAIDs such as ibuprofen causing the prolonging and adding to the seriousness of the infection. That along with other factors such as 2nd largest elderly population, smoking and “kiss” greetings has really stoked the fire.
I wonder what will happen with regards to housing market…

I listened to a podcast today about the property market and they have a very similar view it’ll follow the stock market.
Key points being 1. majority of people that could pass unfortunately will be pensioners freeing up more properties 2. less competition if people are out of work so won’t be looking at buying 3. redundancies so again more properties entering the market 4. just fear of the unknown.
They’ve reckoned prices could drop between 20/25%.
The ripple effect of this is going to affect so many people.

Get well soon @Yas
I had a similar thing about 2-3 weeks previous, temperature, headaches, dry cough and a tight chest. Took me over two weeks to feel better.

they sorted it for youThe modern day curse of 24hr news channels.
Hope you get well soon and stay healthy. I think the housing market could be worse than 2008 since everyone won’t be buying and self isolating and more people will loose their jobs

Meanwhile, the economy is on the path to be devastated, governments are talking about fiscal reliefs, governments deficits and governments debts are likely to increase. 2021 the sovereign debt crisis strikes again? I wouldn’t be surprised if it did
Good luck to everyone buying food offline and online
