Living outside their means is their own fault. When they lose their houses and cars and their credit card won’t raise their limit because they’re already maxed out, you’d think they might learn a lesson. Unfortunately, they won’t. They’ll blame it all on Trump.

Excellent discussion regarding the Imperial study by Trevor Bedford:

https://t.co/4ZqosnvgRQ?amp=1

Dr. Gottlieb adds:

Important thread from Trevor Bedford. Long term mitigation depends on surveillance at massive scale and case-based strategies. If we can couple to an antiviral for advanced disease and antibody prophylaxis for highest risk we can manage life with #COVID19 until we have a vaccine.

We must develop tools for this fight: 1. Point of care diagnostics for rapid identification 2. Antibody that could be prophylaxis for healthcare workers, those at greatest risk 3. Massive sentinel surveillance program 4. Direct acting antiviral drug for treating advanced disease

Ebb and tide. If the old curmudgeon can’t sit back and wait until the market rights itself, he doesn’t need to be in it.

People who keep going out in public like Sen. Beach should be fined heavily no matter what the awaiting result might turn out to be.

Love those things.
Then my doc showed me my A1C was in the “slow motion suicide” column on the chart.
Now I gotta behave.

Only if you panic and sell everything will you get hurt.

Agree.

Hold on, tight, if you didn’t sell months ago.

Buying opportunities abound, for those in cash positions.

Interesting these reports (Germany and UK, so far?) of the loss of taste and smell, with this.

Have we heard this, before?

That’s also a symptom of alzheimers.

(IIRC, it’s damage to the CNS)
