Actually I wonder what the real numbers are. Lives saved by avoiding pre-vaccine/treatment infections vs hypothetically letting it rip.

The latter's like 7b*70%*1% so 49 million dead, worst case? Assuming no mutations? But most of those are useless oldfags or zero GDP Pajeets/Africans.

Plus say 50% of infected are knocked out for a month.

>The residential mortgage market is already under strain after borrower requests to delay mortgage payments rose 1,900% in the second half of March, Reuters reported.

>The National Association of Realtors last month said home sales could fall by around 10% in the short-term, compared to historical sales for this time of year. A Federal Reserve March consumer survey said home prices were expected grow 1.32% over the year, the lowest reading since the survey began in 2013.

So you can snag a discount if you're willing to shop for a plague house, but otherwise things are on course to continue screwing over young home buyers. Do I have that about right?

Is IG's Weekend Dow a meme or not?
