I have no comment on those two posts.

so this was a somewhat comforting notification from COVIDWISE

But to be honest...I may be the only person with the App installed

This app is a simple way for people to contact trace but isn't really effective if 6 people install it

Man, I don't know how my Qanon friends didn't remind me of this earlier.  I guess we should give Trump the credit


Q:What does one wear to this

A: a mask

the stock market kinda shocks me in this matter, since it's more of a forward looking measure
You'd think the people with a lot of money on the line would just start pulling money out

Take a close look at which stock are having the most growth and how much.  They're carrying the rest.

U.S. stocks continue their surge, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq all finishing the day higher on Wednesday, as seemingly every sector of the market has rallied since the start of the third quarter.

Kind of like Bernie with JFK.

My company had its highest EBITDA and revenue figures in 40 years of existence in August (well, projected -- we haven't formally closed the month).

People have to stop equating the health of companies and the stock market with the actual financial status of the 300 million Americans who have no means to acquire stock.

I don't think that assesment is correct
You don't have to be in the market to impacted by the market
I think that number is closer to 160 million own stock

 While a relatively small share of American families (14%) are directly invested in individual stocks, a majority (52%) have some level of investment in the market. Most of this comes in the form of retirement accounts such as 401(k)s.

Here's a correlation/causation conundrum: COVID-19 diagnosis was five times more likely among aged 13-24 ever-users of e-cigarettes

Now is this because vaping makes the lungs more receptive to the novel coronavirus or because vapers are too stupid to socially distance themselves?

Currently, there are no U.S. population-based studies assessing the relationship between cigarette smoking, e-cigarette use, and COVID-19–related outcomes. In the absence of information on smoking and e-cigarette use history of youth diagnosed with COVID-19, we conducted a population-level examination of whether youth cigarette and/or e-cigarette use is associated with increased likelihood of experiencing COVID-19–related symptoms, being tested, and being diagnosed with COVID-19.
