Sat thinking about how many times in recent years people have absolutely lost their minds, it wasn't long back that WW3 was trending & the world was coming to an end. So thought it would be interesting to see how many events the forum could remember.

Black Wednesday; Stock Market crash (another one) where the Chancellor went loopy and got crushed by the market thinking he could influence it in some way. :roll:

And now Black Monday, which could become Black March. I'm off to check the time in Russia, I absolutely can not wait for WW3 rumours to start again. Putin will be fuming.

If the world enters a recession (very possible), then the warmongers will come out in force. I suppose the difference is, the war is against a virus that has no agenda....apart from trying to take out the weakest in society.

I think the tiny dispute between OPEC & Russia might take the attention away from the flu season and move the panic brigade to WW3 talk.

True. Some forecast it to hit $20 a barrell!

Will impact Iran big style too.

I'm not sure if this is a reaction to todays panic & the more I read the more my head hurts but for reasons beyond my ability of explanation, this actually benefits Russia & hurts the USA...

If you have a spare £100k, and don't need it until November 3rd, you could hoover up all those nice lays outside the Top 3.

Trump's presidency could be the biggest 'living' casualty from this virus

A recession could be to a second term what silver bullets are to a werewolf
