But whatever your long term goals are....check the no. of infection count first in the morning before the market opens.

LOL...whats wrong with you guys?

anyway, i take that as you guys are completely convinced that AA is worth at least RM 3.00 then.. with the arguments that i had presented.

I seriously advise you guys not to feel any doubt holding till 3.00.

Actually it may even go till 6.

I was just giving a number to quote from the below person.

If the market is truly intelligent - there is absolutely no reason for AA to trade any lower than 1.73.

(1) TF put a couple of Millions in his pocket....so what? Of course he takes care of AA more where he has 32% stakes. If a dad has affair...does not mean he does not care about his kids & wife.

(2) This coronavirus is as good as Influenza at 0.16% fatality. China will contain it - 100% certain and this fear will fade completely in a matter of weeks. Its just a matter of time. No matter which way you look at it.

'MEANINGFUL' SLOWDOWN

People with mild or no apparent symptoms aren't currently being counted among cases, he told reporters Sunday. A slowdown in the increase in reported cases over the past few days is "meaningful," according to Dr Lipkin, who recently returned to the US from China, where he was advising on the outbreak. He spoke with journalists during a 14-day home quarantine.

If measures taken so far to contain the outbreak are effective, some "dramatic reductions" in infections should be observed in the third or fourth weeks of February, he said. Warmer, early-spring weather might also impede transmission, he said.

Assuming current trends continue, we're still projecting a mid-to-late-February peak" in Wuhan, said Associate Professor Adam Kucharski, an infectious disease epidemiology expert in an email Sunday (Feb 9).

...............

"There has been a stabilisation in the number of cases reported from Hubei, and we're in a four-day stable period where the number of reported cases hasn't advanced," Dr Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme, told reporters in Geneva Saturday.

"That's good news and may reflect the impact of the control measures that have been put in place."

There has been a "low, but steady incidence" of infections in places outside Hubei, Dr Ryan said. It's unclear which of those provinces may control the disease or where it might escalate, he said.

"We hope that the same stabilisation that appears to be occurring in Wuhan also occurs outside," Dr Ryan said

It is the HUMIDITY which decreases the float-ability of the virus before it drops to the floor within 2 meter radius of a man's exhaled air. As there is less free space on air for the virus to move randomly before it drops by gravity.

Further, at high temperatures, the density of air is lower, causing the virus to have lesser buoyancy force to float.

And, at higher humidity the virus has to compete with more H2O molecules on the vulnerable membranes of nasal path, lungs, and eyes for 'sites to latch on' before penetrating the skin and multiplying inside.

A dry air makes it extremely easy for the virus to latch on. A virus is just a chemical structure which needs the help of physics law for spreading.

.........................

Any environments in a country has this measurement called as 'relative humidity'...its a measure of humidity level - i.e what percentage of the air has water molecules (H20).

Any country with an environment TEMPERATURE which is high AND placed near to the sea / rivers (like vietnam)...will have high relative humidity as the high TEMPERATURE increases the amount water droplets in vapor forms as the molecules has more energy.

This is well known by the chemist and biologists.

As such equatorial places like Indonesia with high temperature and surrounding sea surface ratio to land (even Vietnam) will have high humidity.

Its a worthy prudent investment to save unnecessary medical bills at a time where these antiviral drugs are deficient and costly. Further, Singapore is extremely dependent on foreign businesses and interactions.

Indonesia despite having 270 Million population and likely more workers working abroad and mainland chinese within the country...recorded nil patients.

This is a stark difference to Germany where asymptomatic infection took place across person to person in 3 stages even before the first victim showed symptoms.

............

Definitely humidity plays a significant role on the spread-ability of the virus. Hotter climate close to the sea like Indonesia...ensures high humidity level. And high humidity is definitely preventing novel coronavirus ability to float for spreading which can only take place within a circumference of 2 meter (just 6 feet!) before it drops to the ground.

Coronavirus: Fear can do more harm than the virus, says PM Lee

you have to carefully exclude Hubei/Wuhan from the counts to find true fatality rate:

click 'show' on the tables for the below on above link:

- New confirmed cases of coronavirus in mainland China by provincial divisions:

- New deaths from coronavirus in mainland China by provincial divisions

........

The above is a crucial information many have not realized.

https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/coronavirus-death-rate/

97% of the country's total deaths (414) were in the Hubei Province.
Mortality rate in Wuhan was 4.9%.
Mortality rate in the Hubei Province was 3.1%.
Mortality rate nationwide was 2.1%.

Fatality rate in other provinces is 0.16%.
............................................

Deaths in Wuhan were 313, accounting for 74% of China's total.
Most of the cases are still mild cases, so there is no need to panic.
Asked why Wuhan was so much higher than the national level, the NHS official replied it was for lack of resources, citing as an example that there were only 110 critical care beds in the three designated hospitals where most of the cases were sent.

What is the global incidence of influenza?

Updated: Jan 08, 2020

https://www.medscape.com/answers/219557-3459/what-is-the-global-incidence-of-influenza

The World Health Organization estimates that worldwide, annual influenza epidemics result in about 3-5 million cases of severe illness and about 250,000 to 500,000 deaths.

......................................

Say 400,000 deaths for a 7 Billion world population, it means for a country like China with 1.4 Billion, fatality in a year would be:

80,000 deaths per year

= 220 deaths per day (in China due to Influenza)
..................


Now, what is the death Wuhan virus is causing per day?

= 80 per day
............

With sufficient health care provision, the fatality rate is determined to be 0.16%

Assuming it becomes an endemic in China infecting over 50 Million people on average a year...the death rate per day would be:

= 0.16% x 50,000,000 /(365 days)
= 220 death per day

..........

In a nutshell, for Wuhan Virus to obtain the status of Influenza, it has to reach infection rate of 50 Million per year or about 140,000 per day.

At current infection rate, 3400 /day it is still very far behind Influenza status (of course due to strict measure in place by CCP currently).

Even, when China opens up and release the lock down....which i am sure after Hubei or in particular Wuhan is under full control, and the source of the virus is eliminated, the infection count is long way to reach 140,000 per day.

Think about it.
