Coronavirus cases in Victoria rise to 94 as primary school closes

U.S Fed dropped rates to settle nerves in the financial markets, but it didn't work. They're really spooked over the effects of covid-19.The Dow Jones fell of a cliff last night, losing 12.9%. Not looking good.

I think the virus would be fairly irrelevant to the stockmarkets now. Once they start falling it has a snowball effect and it takes on a life of its own.

I like the way they say the spread of the virus is far more advanced in the US than here, but they say that they have 4,300 cases and we have 370. They have 14 times our population so we have more cases per capita than they do.
