Italy and new york are already seeing a decrease in new cases this isnt going to be a long term issue and I invest for the long term so view it just as a good buying opportunity for both stocks and real estate.The real mortality rate is also much lower then is being reported due to lack of testing mild cases.

In 6 months it will likely be over either way and things will either still be normal or things will be starting to get back to normal.I don't see a scenario where the mortality rate in the U.S. is anywhere close to 1 percent, much less 2 percent. 

I am not sure if this article is predicting on mortality alone.

Due to lack of widespread testing I believe that this virus has infected way more people than we currently know and I suspect the actual mortality rate to be a lot lower than what is being reported. 

Thanks, all good points as well, Carolyn.I did pick up on your comment as to pictures, sorry my avatar is my domain, mortals may not look upon me but you can picture me with my long white beard and long robe.

Other than what the WHO and CNC say, there are internationally published birth, death and infant mortality rates that paint a picture of how each country is doing.

These types of transactions have a very high mortality rate when you sell to bad credit homeowners.. ( think Sub Prime) you place the seller in jeopardy not of their own making. 

I'm sorry, but you're contradicting yourself, if any loan is secured by real estate with a perfect security interest, it is a mortgage.Banks do not make non-owner occupied mortgages at 95% to God or any mortal.

Its tough on him, he's probably realizing his mortality, he's not much older than I am.

And in your scenario, you have one major limitation: mortality.
