MDs all over USA are receiving emails like attached from everywhere.

Hospitals for 1st time ever allowing ANYONE unlicensed in their state (but with license from ANYWHERE) to practice, even without nomal hospital privileges.

Brit Hume wonders TODAY if the virus is serious.../1
..hospitals are begging intensivists from ANYWHERE - even if unlicensed in their state - to work in their ICUs for huge sums of $, 24 hour shifts. Because they DONT have staff to handle all of the people dying.

But idiot @HARRISFAULKNER thinks the death rates are all a scam.../2
...the average age of Fox News viewers is 65. They have the highest ratings in red states. Yet theyre literally willing to KILL their viewers - who are, as below data shows, MOST at risk of complications/death - in order to keep fellating Trump.

Sue their asses off. Murderers.

With a Fox News liar once again saying COVID-19 is just seasonal flu (cause, you know, TV commentators and lawyers know more about virus outbreaks than infectious disease experts)a quick lesson about both & proving, once again, how stupid people like @seanhannity et al are.../1
...3 items determine the threat posed by a virus: 1. Its reproductive number (called r0, pronounced r-zero or r-naught); 2. its fatality rate; 3. the existence of vaccines or other forms of external/internal immunities (which effects 2, but not 1), medical immunity in humans.../2
...the r0 reflects how infectious a virus is. As a result, that is the first thing virologists and epidemiologists want to know with a novel virus (one that has never been seen before, like COVID-19).

If the r0 is below 1, the virus will gradually disappear...../3

Me speaking to a money manager today:
Me: The market seems disconnected from corporate earnings.

MM: It's being driven by all the free money that's sloshing around from the corporate stimulus & the Fed

Me: So the stimulus isn't saving people's jobs?

MM: No..../1
...It works the other way. (The stimulus) is being booked as cash on hand. They can't rehire employees because that will just increase expenses when revenue hasn't recovered. It's a way for them to keep earnings from collapsing by eliminating huge variable costs (employees).../2
...to account for the lost revenue, but keeping operating cash for fixed costs.

Me: So is the market is disconnected from earnings, how does anyone calculate the value of the stock market?

MM: You really can't. It's just a bet on when the free cash runs out. It'll keep..../3

1. Why GOP ignorance will again harm one of its key voting blocs:

The Postal Service. There are many issues this - including losses caused by GOP mandated pension accounting that no private company could survive -but a big one the GOP seems to forget is "last mile" delivery.../1
...in fact, Trump seems so set on destroying @USPS for its delivery deal with Amazon (which, btw, is profitable for USPS) undoubtedly because Bezos owns the Washington Post, and GOP hunger to kill vote-by-mail, they pay NO attention to the needs of rural voters vis a vis USPS../2
...the @USPS is required to deliver to every address. The private carriers do not have that requirement, and they don't do do it. Delivery in each zip code requires an entire infrastructure - expenses USPS must incur regardless of revenue generated from a particular zip code../3
