I agree 99921, media has really blown this virus out of proportion. I don't watch much in the way of news anymore, and when I do, I have to take what is said for just that. It seems that there has got to be something to cause our society to panic. This is because, when we're panicking, we're glued to "what's going to happen next?" Media is a business too. There has to be money made to continue business. I'm not an all-around media hater by any means. It is good to know what is going on the world, but it is important to take the facts, and not opinions. This is another reason why I like Agoracom. Sure, there are opinions, but the facts are laid out for those to read, then opinions are stated about those facts.
In the case of ECU, I agree that there could be some skepticism as to the fact that the Mine is in Mexico, but truthfully, I think that---just like it has said----we're taking a bit of a breather today. Some people could be selling that bought in the 50s and are looking to make a bit of profit. In other cases, there may be some manipulation as well.
Hang in there...we're still seeing good volume, and that of course means, people are still buying.
Best of luck!!
