It would make more sense for Trump to welcome the yuan devaluation and say it proves him right that Chinese producers will bear much of the tariff costs.
By devaluing, China is cutting the real compensation of hundreds of millions of Chinese workers.

But our response is threatening to do the same to American workers?
If Trump didn't anticipate and desire yuan devaluation, then what mechanism was he assuming when he said China would pay for the tariffs???
Larry "King Dollar" Kudlow is the president's top economic adviser... and yet the president is apparently considering competitive devaluation. Huh?

The Collins video is here. He is absolutely grotesque.
In 2023, Collins dismisses Sweden (lowest all-cause excess mortality in Europe) based on a few months in early 2020.

Huge Senate votes tomorrow on @RogerMarshallMD bill to terminate the COVID national emergency (how many of the 12 Dems who voted yes for identical bill in November will flip??) and @SenCapito bill to ban Biden's insane WOTUS rule that lets EPA/Army Corps call anything a wetland.
These are both privileged measures that cannot be filibustered. Candidates for Biden vetoes #2 and #3.
(But I also thought he would veto the DC crime bill and he didn't. It never hurts to make him do it.)

I am told @DjokerNole doesn't want a waiver; he wants the ban lifted for everyone.

Why does Old Joe still have this insane policy in place, when his own CDC said NPIs should not differentiate based on vaccine status back in August???
cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/7…
If @DjokerNole changes his mind about coming to the US before Biden ends his ban, there is an easy way to get to Miami: take a ferry from the Bahamas, which violates neither the CDC/FAA air travel mandate nor the DHS land/ferry mandates, which are specific to Canada and Mexico.

He's a liar.

They found a combined total of 20 fewer cases in the 300 masking intervention villages in two months.

More than explained by observation bias.

trialsjournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
Even taken at face value (and ignoring that more distancing was observed in the masking intervention villages) the effect size as so small that it loses significance in pooling (see Cochrane) even though it was by far the largest study.
(And I've still never gotten an explanation of how the Bangladesh study apparently lost 15,000 baseline blood samples.)
