How Will The Coronavirus Impact The Markets?
by Chris Martenson

In addition to presenting a major public health risk, the coronavirus is already doing serious economic damage. China, the world’s second-largest economy, is essentially “closed for business” right now.

The disruption to global trade the coronavirus is likely to cause is going to be material, perhaps severe. And that will have serious negative consequences for the financial markets, which have been (and is still!) trading at the highest valuations in history.

The coronavirus has all the hallmarks of a true Black Swan event.

While you wouldn’t know it by listening to the major media outlets, the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus continues to get worse. As does our understanding of its potential threat to the public health.

At this point, we have to be honest with ourselves: We are dealing with a true pandemic at this point

Pretty much the entire country of China is in lockdown at this moment. Unbelievable.

Along with restricting travel within and across its borders, the Chinese government has begun heavily censoring the data its sharing with the world.

Chris calls into question the few statistics they’re currently reporting, suspecting the situation is devolving into something much worse than admitted to.

In the midst of our furious coverage of the Wuhan coronavirus outbreak, Chris is giving interviews to numerous interested media outlets.

Here’s an interview he just recorded hours ago on the TFMR Podcast, which gives a good breakdown of what we know so far about the unfolding situation (as of Saturday, Jan 25, 2020).

How Contagious Is The Coronavirus?
by Chris Martenson

Whether it’s 3.8 or 2.5 or 6.7, the R0 for 2019-ncov is sufficient to cause a pandemic.  It spreads easily.

My current opinion, which I reserve the right to change when better data comes in, is that the current R0 estimate of 2.5 is too low because of its reliance on officially-reported case data.

My advice to you is to begin practicing good hygiene right now.  Your best defense against this virus is to not catch it in the first place.

What exactly is the ‘coronavirus’?

How worried do we need to be?

Given the poor communication so far by government health organizations and the media, the severity of the situation and the risk to public health, Chris Martenson filmed this important explanatory video hours ago.

In it, Chris explains the virus in layman’s terms, why the contagion we’re seeing is likely to spread substantially from here, and why the actions being taken so far by public health officials to contain the threat are woefully insufficient.

Executive Summary

  • Why the coronavirus is much more dangerous than the standard flu
  • Why, if it accelerates, it can easily overwhelm our health & safety systems
  • A list of the most important preparations for a pandemic
  • Why you *really* want to put those in place now

If you have not yet read ALERT: Coronavirus Pandemic Event Now A Serious Risk, available free to all readers, please click here to read it first.

Well, this is a report I really hoped never to write.  But we all need to get our head on straight around this fast-spreading viral outbreak.

A pandemic is #3 on my personal “oh shit” list (a prolonged grid-down event is #2, and a global world war with nukes is, by far, #1)

Once a pandemic spreads to my neck of the woods, I’m not going to be doing anything in the company of strangers.  No shopping, no going to restaurants, and especially no traveling in closed up metal tubes with recirculated air (i.e. planes and trains).

I won’t be alone in those behaviors.  How many airline pilots, train conductors, trash collectors, and medical personnel have to call in “sick” to disrupt the entire system?  Not that many.

So why is this Wuhan New Coronavirus (officially “2019-ncov”) a substantially more dangerous threat than the standard flu?

There are two reasons to be worried about this particular strain.

The coronavirus is currently sweeping across China. So far, it has all the hallmarks of a potential true pandemic outbreak.

While it could still (and hopefully will) be contained and burn itself out, the chances of that are slipping by the hour.

Off The Cuff: The System Is Purposely Insidious
 PREVIEW
by Chris Martenson

In this week’s Off The Cuff podcast, Chris and Wolf Richter discuss:

  • Only An Elite Few Benefit From The ‘Wealth Effect’
  • The System Is Purposely Insidious
  • Only Revolution Will Change Things At This Point
  • What The Heck Is The Fed Up To Next?

Get ready for ‘no punches pulled’ barnburner of a discussion. Both Chris and Wolf are hopping mad at the increasing squeeze our system is placing on the masses — the ‘wealth effect’ created by current Fed policy is only enjoyed by the already stinking rich, and everyone else is being left fewer and fewer crumbs.

 Prep Now for the Coming Winter Challenges
I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about the needs and sustainability of our family. We have six young children, our oldest just turned 12 and our youngest just turned 3 months old. I love the considerations that the article had above and thought I would add a few things that I have considered for our situation. My...
