RUSH: It looks like Sweden is over the COVID-19 circumstance. And if that’s the case, then it portends good news for the rest of the world. Scott Atlas is now part of the coronavirus task force meeting with the president. And he is countering Fauci. I have to tell you something, folks, just to show you how pervasive this is.
You know, I read tech blogs. It’s my hobby. There are a couple of them that literally treat Fauci as a deity. Whatever Fauci says is the lead item, and it’s never questioned. It is always amplified. It is always reported as though there can be no question about it. These are young kids in their late twenties, early thirties, that populate these blogs and do most of the writing. And it’s scary how sycophantic they are.
Trump did recognize Dr Atlas at the presser.
JOLTS: Job Openings Rose More than Expected in June
FTA
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) report on job openings and labor turnover (JOLTS) showed openings rose more than expected to 5.9 million in June. Hires decreased to 6.7 million, though still came in at the second highest level ever recorded.
Forecasts for job openings ranged from a low of 4.9 million to 5.5 million. The consensus forecast was just 5.29 million.
Quits and total separations also rose, however. Total separations rose to 4.8 million. Within separations, the quits rate rose to 1.9% while the layoffs and discharges rate was unchanged at 1.4%.
The BLS stated those gains are the result of a limited resumption of economic activity following the efforts to “slow the spread” of coronavirus (COVID-19) in March and April.
