Gobert is CV-19 positive after (potentially) infecting every reporter in media room. Players in Jazz-Thunder game being tested now.

Un-fucking-believable.
I got this from a very reliable source. Will update as I learn more. Hope I’m wrong.
Confirmed by Shams.

I think I broke this story first. Funny old world, innit?
I think the Jazz just finished a 5-fame East Coast trip, and I’m pretty sure Gobert played in every game ...
Annnnnnnd ... it’s gone.

Hearing that NBA is *suspending* season for two weeks - no games canceled, just postponed - while they sort out who’s infected.

Announcement out tomorrow morning.

So the big market news is not that the stock market is selling off again.

The big market news is that gov't bonds are selling off, too.

The US 10-yr rate is *higher* right now, and for all the wrong reasons.

There is no place to hide today. Nowhere.
And yes, I know that bond futures higher this morning, so we're now flat with yesterday's open. But you get my point ... looking at a 10% move down in equities and bonds flat.
Gold down. Bitcoin crushed. Nowhere to hide.

I think Trump’s speech tonight was constructive.

Weeks late? Yes. Maybe too late? Maybe.

But it was his first public statement on CV-19 that reflected seriousness and resolve in the nat’l interest. It was his first public statement that wasn’t overtly corrupt.

It’s a start.
The fact that the market didn’t “like” Trump’s speech was exactly what made it a constructive speech in the national interest.
Like it or not (and I *hate* it) Donald Trump is President for the next TEN MONTHS.

My reaction to his speech as constructive is not about giving him “credit”. Fuck that. We’re way past that.

It’s about working with anyone - even corrupt sociopaths like Trump - to save lives.

It's a crowded field, but my vote for most pathetic state "leadership" on CV-19 is @GovKemp of Georgia. Just breathtakingly craven at every step.

#DontTestDontTell

Here's Georgia's @GovKemp in action!

Georgia Dept. of Public Health press release: 5 new cases. 4 hospitalized. 4 community spread.

This is yesterday.

"Going forward, Governor Kemp and DPH will update COVID-19 cases on Twitter."

Can't make this shit up.

If containment fails, and this projection comes true, the hardships that the world would experience during the onset of the first coronavirus pandemic would be hard to comprehended through our current eyes. A first for the modern world.
That’s further out, but if COVID-19 does break through to influenza scale, the benefit would be in a substantial population of immunity & antibodies. Those prospects are now where China is focusing. Antibody donation could improve outcomes; that’s moving from secondary priority.
The best outcome of a worst case scenario would be herd immunity. But, millions would die, medical infrastructure would be overwhelmed at even a fraction of the early generational spread, & the world would be on pause. Transfusion is not the golden ticket; you need a lot of infra

Unsurprisingly, more information was withheld by the Chinese government. COVID-19 had reached Guangdong by January 4th. Wuhan's lockdown only began on the 23rd. This is a probelm far bigger than Hubei and China.
Alternate reality: Theranos Ends Pandemic
It's so sad to read these stories of China's state of unrest. Trust is degraded. This is not a society that will return to normal with a snap of fingers and bans lifted. China is damaged, could be for years, & we're not even near the end of this epidemic.

Un fucking believable. “The candidate who WASN’T a Hitler-wannabe deserved no votes from any state she didn’t happen to visit.”

When the choice is Hitler vs. NotHitler, YOU FUCKING VOTE FOR NOTHITLER, PERIOD.
Would it have been WISE for her to visit Wisconsin a couple of times? Sure. Would it have guaranteed her winning the state? No...after all, she outperformed Russ Feingold, for God's sake. And she still would've narrowly lost MI & PA, so I've never understood this argument.
But this "if the candidate doesn't knock on my door in person, I'm not voting for them" stuff is bullshit. Christ, even in Wyoming, where she lost 4:1, 56,000 people still voted for her, and I guarantee they weren't expecting her to hold a rally in Cheyenne.

Media that covers #Media #Publishing #Journalism #tech #SocialNetworks is often critical of traffic-driving algorithms, distribution of ad revenue, personal data collection/sale. Yet these writers have the ability to get users to force change. /1 notd.io/notes/56844813…
Most of the abuses that this sector of media is critical about come from internet giants, who pay lip service in response, because those abuses are very profitable, & regulation is unlikely in the US & users not motivated enough to change their usage of networks. /2
US regulation that would help stop the criticized practices is unlikely to help, mainly because Congress isn't qualified to design these regulations, so they would leave it to lobbyists working for the industry to be regulated /3
