A 62-year-old man who became Spain’s first coronavirus patient is believed to have made a full recovery after being treated with an HIV drug.
He was hospitalized at the Virgen del Rocio Hospital in Seville, where he received lopinavir-ritonavir, an antiretroviral drug sold under the brand name Kaletra.
The drug — which has been used to treat HIV and AIDS for over 10 years — was combined with interferon beta, a protein that prevents cells from becoming infected
Santiago Moreno, head of infectious diseases at the Ramón y Cajal hospital in Madrid, said the “SARS-CoV-2 protease is very similar to that of HIV,” using another name for the novel coronavirus. “This enzyme is essential for the virus to replicate. The combination of lopinavir and ritonavir inhibits and blocks HIV,” he said.

In 2005, during the avian influenza, George W. Bush was on the phone routinely with leaders around the world about how to coordinate a global response. Barack Obama did the same in 2009 for the second H1N1 pandemic and in 2014 for the Ebola epidemic. You saw presidential leadership step up and act as a catalyst for forging a global way forward for a global problem. It has been absolute silence in this White House. I think the only reason the White House is even paying any lip service to this is because the stock market has gone into a free fall. So they’re trying to figure out what are the words they need to say to placate the stock market.

Why do you think there’s been silence in this White House?

Because the Trump administration is only interested in America first. Populism here and across Europe and elsewhere has fragmented the global networks, which had been so instrumental in being able to bring together a global approach to problems like this. I’ve not seen any reports coming out of the White House that showed that as China was struggling to bring the virus under control, our president reached out to President Xi to talk about how to coordinate action. I’m stunned by the absolute absence of global dialogue for what is a global event. In Europe right now, you would never believe that there was a European Union. From where I sit, it looks like every country is making this up as they go along. Italy isn’t coordinating with Brussels. Brussels isn’t coordinating with Germany. There’s no coherent regional approach to this problem in Europe, even though they have a platform for doing it.

This article is interesting to me because it discusses several entrenched trends which will increase the likelihood that pandemic viruses take hold, the above being one I hadn't thought of, and others that are more obvious.

$500 billion in the morning and $500 billion in the afternoon, for $1 trillion per day. Soon they will be talking real money.

Gold and silver miner ETFs were up 13% and 11% today. Some people think it is going to matter some day...

After 40 years of interest rates going down and bond prices going up something nobody expected may be happening. Maybe bond prices can go down and interest rates up? Everyone knows you don't fight the Fed and they control interest rates. Right? If the Fed lost control of interest rates, that would cause a panic...

Watching CNBC this morning, it's clear that nobody has any idea what's
going on. The only real discussion is about how all the world's
central banks are going to make more liquidity available, and how many
different ways they can do that. One person asked, "Who's going to
pay for all these bonds?" and the question was ignored.

So here's my question: I'd like to issue some Generational Dynamics
Ten Year Bonds and offer an interest rate of 10% -- which is a yield
so high that I should be able to sell a lot of them. So how do I do
that?

Alternatively, with the US government planning to pour a trillion
dollar into the economy in various ways, how do I get some of that
money?

** 18-Mar-2020 World View: Depression

Mohamed El-Erian on CNBC just suggested that the economy is not only
headed for a recession, but in fact could be headed for a 1930s-style
depression.

This follows a warning from Steven Mnuchin of 20% unemployment.

Some time back I posted that my order for a special monitor from China was on hold because of the virus and i suspected that many other companies would be having supply chain problems. I also wanted a special computer and that also is having trouble. But the special monitor they made and sent to the shipping department but it seems the they have not been able to get it on an airplane yet. Wow. Not sure if the problem is in china or that nobody wants planes flying to them from China. But things are not exactly over this yet even in China where there are almost no new cases.

You have to be able to talk to the fed and convince them that you are too important to the economy for them to let you go under ("too big to fail").
I don't think you have much chance though. Now Boeing and the airlines, and the cruise ships, the oil frackers, and the hotels, and ... will
probably get trillions. The US will bail out the rich, again, and let the average person suffer. Probably end up with socialism and then everyone will suffer.
