I love the picture. It looks like my shelves. I just can't make out what anything is.
I would love to respond.
Would you be willing to make a list of all the names of your herbal friends?
Thank you.
Eta - duh. Totally missed the link was a youtube. Watching now.

If COVID-19 evolves into an endemic respiratory disease, the commercial opportunity could be quite staggering. Flu vaccines, after all, currently represent a $2 billion a year market. Now, COVID-19 will likely never morph into that kind of behemoth market, but it could very well end up supporting one or more vaccines that generate several hundred million in annual sales, especially if it becomes a serious problem in affluent western nations like the United States. So, in a sense, there is a solid rationale supporting Inovio's 25.7% jump since this viral outbreak began to garner headlines earlier this year.
The bad news is that Inovio has never actually developed a commercial-stage vaccine. Despite being in business for 40 years, the company is only now on the cusp of generating late-stage data for one of its DNA-based therapies. Specifically, Inovio is slated to roll out top-line data for VGX-3100 as a treatment for cervical dysplasia in the fourth-quarter of 2020.
Another worrying sign is that this isn't the first time Inovio's stock has skyrocketed in response to an infectious disease threat. In 2016, for instance, the biotech's shares took flight after it announced plans to tackle the Zika virus. Per the company's latest clinical update in early 2020, however, its Zika virus product candidate hasn't even made it past a phase 1 trial yet. So investors should probably take this hype over a COVID-19 virus vaccine with a huge grain of salt.
Time to buy?
If your sole purpose is to own a company likely to benefit from the COVID-19 threat, Inovio probably isn't your best bet. The company has never brought a product to market in four decades, much to the detriment of long-suffering shareholders. Since going permies, in fact, Inovio's stock has produced a negative return on capital of 92.7%. Perhaps this story will change for the better with a positive late-stage readout for VGX-3100 later this year. But until then, investors should probably curb their enthusiasm.
I learned a long time ago (the hard way) that investing in pharma is very hard without and in-depth knowledge of rules and regs… and medical.
However, if I were the investment type, I would look heavily at gloves, disinfectant, and goggle companies. As well as companies that make medical equipment. lol
Or, as the market begins to crash, I would look at Silver, Gold, and Crypto currencies. Then jump out of them after the market has fallen a ways... and back into base stocks like food and such. Things that are a necessity of life.
Buy low and sell high. Silver has been hovering at just above the cost to get it out of the ground ($17/oz the last time a checked a long while ago) for a while now. It literally can't go any lower since the stock market has been flooded with paper silver. Aka... if you buy it... buy the real deal and hold it in your hand.
That being said... I don't have spare cash for that right now. Gotta start stocking up on real things like food and disinfectant. lol

It is hard to separate real information from fake news, to distinguish between alarmist clickbait and government propaganda written by fearful journalists who seem to share as a common denominator an appalling grasp of statistics. I just try to navigate the oceans of disinformation and climb the mountains of wishful thinking , cruise the hellish gutter comment sections of obscure blogs and internet fora to come to the bottom of the matter using my own "logic and scientific approach". It's a lot like trying to figure out what works in permaculture projects in a way, except it is pretty scary. I have suffered from doom fatigue a week ago, so i try not to spend too much time on the web and listen beautiful music as well and prepare and work and work in the gardens, but still i'm obsessed, there is no denying it..
According to this PDF from Los Alamos National Laboratory the R0 value has been grossly underestimated.The R0 is the amount of people a carrier of the virus will infect. I have no idea who the Los Alamos National Laboratory are and if this PDF is indeed theirs, but here goes:
The novel coronavirus (2019-nCoV) is a recently emerged human pathogen that has spread widely since January 2020. Initially, the basic reproductive number, R0, was estimated to be 2.2 to 2.7. Here we provide a new estimate of this quantity. We collected extensive individual case reports and estimated key epidemiology parameters, including the incubation period.Integrating these estimates and high-resolution real-time human travel and infection data with mathematical models, we estimated that the number of infected individuals during early epidemic double every 2.4 days, and the R0 value is likely to be between 4.7 and 6.6. We further show that quarantine and contact tracing of symptomatic individuals alone may not be effective and early, strong control measures are needed to stop transmission of the virus.

I don't know if the New York Post is anything to believe either, but they claim that the 300 evacuees from the Diamond Princess airplane had 14 people on board which have the virus. It probably isn't true, because the whole of USA would know if it was right? But if it is true then it is important information, so i thought to share it anyway.

15 African countries can test for covid-19 now, there are 54 countries. 1 confirmed case so far in Egypt.
