kiwi -

agree with JL on the covid issue; you have to look at the rate of increase in new cases in china; if you can go from 80K cases and subsequently lower the rate of new cases, that says it all; as per JL, if this was airborne, it would have been so much more serious and no way starting from 80k cases (repeat, the massive 80k cases), that they would be down to only 40 new cases per day or in vicinity;

BTW, i had a cardiologist friend over for dinner on saturday. very innovative, he has a patent on a stent procedure that has already been FDA approved, he & partners are working on the commercial aspects;

he also knows about V and especially bhatt; his understanding is the ACC event in chicago will be done via webinar; some of the speakers had pulled back on attending, etc. cannot say what impact that would have on V given the peer-to-peer dinners will not happen, etc....

I was going to respond in a similar manner - the crude oil crash is going to cause more financial problems that the virus - "experts" say it may go down to the $20's - nobody can make money pumping it at that price, it's not just the frackers that will get hurt. Everything energy related got slaughtered today, even LNG companies with no ties to crude got destroyed - so did my IRA's value, 2nd worst one day loss I've ever had, almost everything down -7% or more, 1/2 the positions down -10% or more. One more day like this and it will match the paper losses I suffered in Dec 2018 - and this is after nearly hitting an all time high in mid-Dec 2019 - a lot of it do to AMRN closing near $23 on that day.
