r. It's called the simultaneous sip. Go. Mmm, just as good as I imagined, if not better.

Well, let's see what's going on today in the news. There was a big windstorm up in Oregon, and an Oregon man who was sitting on his couch in his home was crushed by a falling tree. This ginormous tree that was near his apartments fell over, went right through his roof, and crushed him as he sat there on his couch. I think he survived it. It looks like they got him out, but he was in bad shape.

The moral of the story, of course, is you might as well get off the couch because if karma's gonna come looking for you, it's gonna find you on the couch. You can't hide on the couch. No, karma's coming for you. Now, I don't know that he did anything to deserve a tree falling on him, but let's assume he did not. It was bad luck. But still, get off the couch. It's dangerous there.

Speaking of danger, the coronavirus is spreading to other countries, keeping us panicked, destroying the supply lines internationally, tanking the stock market. Now, if I were a long-term investor, I would say to myself this coronavirus is just what the doctor ordered because there wasn't anything that was gonna make the stock market go down just for ordinary business reasons. The economy was doing well. You needed some kind of an external shock to temporarily drive the prices down a little bit, and then those of you who are thinking of getting in for the long term, it might be a good time. So I'm kind of watching this, thinking to myself, now this would be a good time to load up on some of those stocks I wish I had gotten earlier. So we're watching that.

Now, I don't know how bad it would get. If I had to guess, I would say that human ingenuity will work faster than the virus. You can't get rid of that, but I think human ingenuity and determination and cleverness will probably get ahead of this thing. But we're not there yet.

There's a scary story coming out of Iran. So apparently an Iranian lawmaker who represents the city of Qom — however you pronounce it, Qom, qualms, comb, cub, I have no idea — but there's a city with that name in Iran, and the guy who represents it said that there had been at least 50 coronavirus deaths in the city and accused the country's health minister of lying about the outbreak.

Now let me say this: there's no such thing as credible information coming out of Iran. And just in general, you know, if it came out of Iran you've automatically got to say, well, maybe, but probably not. So can we believe this lawmaker? Because if we didn't believe him, why would you lie about anything like that? What in the world would this guy have to gain by lying about it? It's more like, if anything, he might be just wrong, perhaps heard the wrong information. But what if he's right? If it's true that 50 people died in that one city in just the last few weeks, we've got a real big problem on our hands, like maybe bigger than we have any idea.

But Iran, the larger authorities, are rejecting that and saying there's been a total of only 66 coronavirus infections and 12 deaths. Wait a minute, 12 out of 66. Alexa, what is 12 divided by 66? 0.18. So let's say 18%. So the auth
