Meanwhile I look at my pension fund and weep as the new Morgan disappears. That is a first world problem compared to the virus. Be thankful we are still for now well.


The mortality rate is 1.7% Female, 2.8% male. It's certainly NOT 20%. And the median age for mortality is 71. Mainly with those with chronic heart/lung issues or weakened immune systems. Please let's not egg this on into something it is not.

As for pension funds... why cannot the world look at this for what it is... a 'short term blip' in what are long term investments! There is absolutely no doubt the share market will recover, and recover strongly once this almost 'panic' phase is over.
