You know me. I've never professed to be high brow, but I also only take anything they say with a pinch of salt.
"A pinch of salt" = Assume it's about as factual as the comic section in the Sunday paper.

First things I look at on t'internet in normal order, email, here, dailymail.com
I'm not too proud to admit that I've been embarrassed about it for years now, the grammatical errors and spelling mistakes are hideous.

I'm a nose itch when it comes to houses, and they have the best pictures of celebrity homes that are for sale or have just sold :D

RCL (Royal Caribbean Cruises) was at $135 mid-January. It dropped to $40 where it finally got some support. People have bought it back up to $50+ today but it is walking the tightrope. I won't short it here, but that $10 rebound looks like a dead cat bounce.

The market is fascinating to watch during times like these. Opportunities everywhere.

I "heard" that Kratom prevents illness including different corona strains. If that's the case, I'm good!

Oh. Didn't see your highlight.

Dead cat bounce is just a phrase referring to a falling stock that looks like it might have hit a bottom. People buying in or covering short positions causes a quick gain, but it often continues falling again after a short while.

If you were so inclined to throw a dead cat off a building, when it hits the concrete it will bounce a bit, but that doesn't mean there is any life to it.

I had never heard it before. Ta.

About to head to Safeway in a bit. See how long it takes for everyone to scatter when they hear this cough I've got.

Make sure you buy enough toilet paper to last you until June.

I'm actually going to buy some more, and I have enough for a couple of weeks. Not like trolleys full like the twats have been doing at Costco where it's like Mad Max loo roll wars, but I am going to get more. And more water, canned goods etc.

But more importantly, beer and wine. If I'm having to self quarantine no way I'm doing it sober for the whole 2 weeks.

The test is not really that effective.

It will detect someone already with a fever but not someone carrying the infection and not showing the simpsons

It's mainly a placebo. But it can't hurt I spose.

That's not accurate. You're describing some of the early reagents for ELISA testing. There are very sensitive tests right now.

some great holiday deals out there. If I didn't have a new born I'd be out to Barbados like a shot.
