94/ Two days ago I pulled half of my retirement fund out of S&P500 index funds and moved it into bonds because I predicted panic selling as the impact of
#covid19 became clear. Today:https://www.nytimes.com/2020/02/24/business/stock-market-coronavirus.html …Show this thread -

96/ Over the last two weeks we've purchased masks, bleach, hand sanitizer, topped up our food (~ 2 year supply), and moved money out of the market just before it crashed. Getting very close to buttoning up the farm and staying in til it's done. Is Saturday our last day out?

97/ It was about 4 weeks ago that I looked at the numbers and said "it's too late; the pandemic has started". Glad that the smarter breed of normies have caught up, just a month late. Sorry that the other 99% still haven't.https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1228086074871865345 …

100/ That was my extreme high limit, based on minimal data, and I bet against it at "20:1 or 30:1". A month later, and we've got better data. Today the CDC estimate for American deaths is " As many as 200,000 to 1.7 million people could die." https://www.nytimes.com/2020/03/13/us/coronavirus-deaths-estimate.html …

101/ So my extreme high-end estimate was ~ 6x the reasonable high end of the CDC estimate today, a month later. Very very happy to have reality clock in better than I feared!

106/ I slaughter and butcher my meat, and put it away in chest freezers in the basement. I try to use every part of the animal, whether that means making blood pudding, or cooking and eating "variety meats" (what do you do with pig liver? make liverwurst)pic.twitter.com/UwPrzywgCw
