The interior of a single virus particle  contains a dense assembly of #ribonucleoproteins (RNPs) that package the genome to form the #nucleocapsid (protein shell of a virus). Notable, it has a cylindrical shape that matches the particle geometry. 1/10

However, many peope have not understood that these viruses do not #spread exponentially, but in waves (fairy tale of #exponential #growth). 2/10
In this regard, Farr's Law should be mentioned (William #Farr on patterns of #epidemic events), which was banned from the German #wikipedia at the time, but could still be read in the English wikipedia. In the meantime it has marginally reappeared. 3/10

#AMCs are manufacturers and will offer a basket to select from. Would anyone have invested if they came with NFO in March 2020?

It is duty of #Advisors/#Investors to invest or ignore. Just because AMCs offer is no criteria to invest.

Need to introspect before blaming others
Same is the case with IPOs, their timings and their valuations. Companies also come with #IPOs when markets were on a roll.

Again, investors had a choice to invest or ignore.

They invested with GREED and FOMO and now blaming others for these IPOs bombing
Why can't #Investors respect market signals? When going was good, they ignored advice of following #AssetAllocation.

When markets are bleeding, looking at scapegoats for their own actions.

This is #SelfAttribution bias. All good - their skill, all bad - blame it on others

1/n Dear @JimCarrey, as life gave you a voice that matters we beg you to use it for good once again.

Please #StepUpForFreedom

'We' are being discriminated, due to our choice of not getting vaccinated (yet) against Covid &/or our choice of saying no to injecting our children.👇
2/n Hear us out:

#EmotionalSituation: we suffer. Division is upon us. Many lost their jobs. Families and friends are being torn apart. Many Europeans, Canadians, Americans, Australians and other citizens of the world share this pain. #Wearemillions. 👇
3/n #FreedomOfSpeech: our voice is being shut and undermined in mass media. Pretexting public health good intentions, political leaders of our nations end up dismissing, if not censoring (on social media), solid arguments for our choice, even if bcked up by eminent scientists.👇

Let’s talk about rightwing liassez faire coronavirus denialism, or, in other words, “Let’s take it on the chin, folks!”

It all began with an ‘It’s just like flu’ shrug, a sprinkling of ‘I’ll shake hands with anyone’ braggadocio and an almost subliminal hint of mask aversion.

We should be pleased, I suppose, that karma eventually kicked in:

Though was it really truly, madly, sincerely karmic enough?

"Many people who lived through the last war - or whose parents have vivid recollections of it - will tell you that they are infuriated by any suggestion that our present emergency is anywhere near comparable to that experience."
"No, our lives now are nothing like theirs in terms of either scarcity of food and comfort, or actual danger."

Yet, we face perhaps greater uncertainty and dangers than any could ever have imagined during the Wars.

Wars are self-inflicted and enemies have physical form!
There are dangers in viewing and misinterpreting historic events through the lens of contemporary life as we know it today.

Individuals are influenced by contemporary societal norms, values and threats; tangible or simply perceived.
