Expat, In one post you say the coronavirus has a death rate of 2 - 4% "mortality rate of COVID-19 is anywhere from 2 to 4 percent," Then you quote CDC numbers saying "The 2017-2018 flu season as an example was severe for all US populations and resulted in an estimated 959,000 hospitalizations...

The 2017-18 flu season had 62,000 deaths as you say. How many people had a medical visit for the flu that year in the US - around 20million. Divide those numbers and you get .3% death rate vs 2 - 4% death rate for coronavirus Death Rate of Flu is .3% Coronavirus is 2 - 4% Which part of this is...

LOL...stick to making cakes. Math apparently isn't a strength of yours.

Besides the comments about no proper medical infrastructure in and around small towns, they might not be the most welcoming during this time. Especially if covid shows up there, they may blame the new foreigner in town.

Expat claimed there were some racial elements for people being concerned about this virus. I probably shouldn't have said that, I'm sure expat tree is perfectly nice person. I just think it's irresponsible for people to go around claiming that this is nothing more than a cold or flu when death...

1. You really believe the Chinese built 2 new massive hospitals in weeks because of an irrational panic? Sounds like you're the racist. 2. The common cold doesn't have a mortality rate of 2 - 4%. A Harvard epidemiology professor predicts 40 - 70% of the world population will get covid-19 over...

I must admit that you saw the economic crash in Argentina and the coronavirus coming before many on this forum, and you were ridiculed for it. Please keep posting perry.

The Chinese built two new hospitals in weeks, hospitals in Italy and Spain are turning away people who are dying because the hospitals don't have any more capacity. Yeah...it's exactly like the common cold. Please present evidence that there isn't reinfection of the virus and that death rates...

Ries do you still believe this is being overhyped by the media? I have family in the US and I'm quite concerned for the 60+ ones.

I now see that they are saying Bolsonaro tested negative. However, Fox News had reported that he had tested positive and two reporters are confirming that Bolsonaro's son had told them. Now his son is denying that he ever talked to any reporter about the matter, calling them Fake News. I hate...

Yes, there are vast parts of Lima that look like shantytowns, but the nice areas such as Miraflores and San Isidro are very well developed and clean.

It's official both Bolsonaro and his aid have coronavirus.

Perry what is your thought? I'm guessing that China may have fudged the numbers and probably there are deaths and cases not reported in countries like Vietnam. I would be more apt to trust numbers out of Singapore and South Korea. It seems like they are having more success than Italy at the...

We're getting there. Panic is starting to kick in. Now just wait for a bank or major corporation go bankrupt or get a bailout. Then you will really see attractive buying prices.

In the next two weeks, I wouldn't be surprised if Uruguay stops all entries from it's neighbors. There are talks that Argentina isn't going to let citizens from EU, US, Iran, China, South Korea into the country for a period of time. I'd check all of this out carefully before trying to leave...

A Brazilian government official pictured next to Trump this past weekend, has come down with symptoms of coronavirus today and is being tested. Results coming Thursday.

Here we go again. Reaction is overblown, keep buying stocks they say... “In our view, however, the market has gone ahead and priced in too severe of an adverse scenario, assuming we get timely and strong counter-policy response and a COVID-19 outbreak that peaks in the coming weeks,” JPMorgan’s...

Agree with Pensador. Markets are headed down further. We're still at the denial phase. The markets haven't hit full panic mode yet, where people are worrying about their retirements. Remember 2008 when Bear Sterns went down? Still took months for the whole thing to come crashing down. Banks...

I agree they should just be ignored. Problem is Trump is influenced by these people. His rants sparked the Tea Party movement too. The people who believed that death panels would be killing off Grandma and Grandpa if universal healthcare was enacted.

Still baffles me that the social justice party of Argentina is named after a fascist military general who sympathized with Nazis.
