http://virological.org/t/sars-cov-2-samples-from-same-early-covid-19-patients-were-sequenced-repeatedly-with-errors-distorting-phylogenetic-trees/434 just gonna post this also from my fav place to lurk,

TL;DR all that praise for the chineese genome. Nah not really good sequencing from the chinese.

@Sq crcl Not 1928, but 2008. Basically we solved the 1928 problem accidentally via Keynesian Government spending, and squeezing away the debt via war bonds.
But otherwise entirely correct. We're just delaying the crisis.

Ah, I see. Gotcha

So food for now
Hard assets and precious metals for later, maybe just maybe crypto too

Since crypto dropped so much I bought a bit myself just because.

Not gonna lie I was hoping it would tank again today like last Monday.

Wait, I thought there was the Brexit 'war-chest' https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/coronavirus-covid-19-uk-supermarket-shortages-accidental-stockpilers-kantar-171734990.html

Still waiting for shitcoin to get back to 1k <:smugon:512048583806025739>

why invest in crypto like a spaz in a pandemic?

@AdamBv1
The reason why I've been worried going all in on crypto is because I am a fearful individual, fearful of the government regulating it (it already does in Poland for example) and now with the push for the practical abolishing of public encryption... I don't think it's as safe as it used to be. Definitely don't feel (yes, feel ik) it'll be a stable storage of value.

Oh I'm hardly going all in, tossing a few sheckels that way that I can afford to lose but since I had some cash I figured it was a possible opportunity.

I'm also playing the long game.

Tossing extra withholding into my 401k too.

Ofc, I didn't mean it that way exactly. Going all in rather meant making serious investments. Sorry.

I'm still treating it more as a novelty, somewhat hard to take it seriously yet.

But slightly easier to get into for me than prescious metals since I have basically know knowledge of that market or how to break in.

And that's reasonable since no government has made any serious moves in legitimising it really.

Currently hearing that buying gold or silver is nearly impossible right now anyways.

I've just started a couple moths ago <:why:462286147473637407>

Yes. it's true

Be very careful if you see it otherwise

Coronavirus: PM announcing strict new curbs on life in UK https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-52012432

Hope it's enough, it's certainly too late.

@Sq crcl If you want a name to tag to the current problem then the best is Debt Deflation.
Summary, when banks create a loan, they create money, due to fractional reserve lending. However, banks create larger obligations to repay. This means that if Credit creation EVER goes negative then money becomes in short supply because people need that money to repay debt, rather than spend it in the economy. This further slows the economy, and boom, 2008.

Thanks, makes it easier for me to understand.
I chose sublimation because there's a skip of a state. It seems to me in this scenario some actors in the economy won't even have time to see their value deflate but rather they'll be straight knocked out. (still reading, digesting)

It also seems 'unfair' to 'help' in such manner. How can anyone sanely expect a capped market to suddenly produce more value than what they're capable of and on top of that expect them to have trust in futures afterwards. I really don't get it. But also, economy isn't my strongest suite.

It's lockdown baby ! ! !
(in the UK)

IN a HIGHLY competitive REAL free market you could say that the chances of great innovations reducing the same risk is reasonably higher but we don't have that organisation.

I'm learning all this crap.

anyways some scientist just want to delete ACE2 or at least inhibit it in order to stop the coronavirus <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

what could possibly go wrong?

Dunno, that it mutates a variety that attacks the blood rather or the brain?

I should see if I can dig it up but somebody designed a fake ACE2 that would bind to SARS. Should work exactly the same on SARS2: Electric WuFlu.

Nah you gonna get many complications if you just delete a key enzyme. <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

What if we attacked its lifecycle rather. Speed it up or something.

It is one of the key in the RAS or RAAS hormone system that regulates bp fluid and electrolyte balance <:smugon:512048583806025739>
