Here's the latest from the White House on India and Covid ... inane platitudes as they try to walk back the disastrous decision not to allow export of vaccine feeder stocks. Barf.

White House to India: "thoughts and prayers!"

“Pursuing options”

“Certainly something that will be considered”

Glad that our outrage got this bullshit WH policy turned around and headed in the right direction, but I’m not stopping until the aid is actually delivered.

Over the past 7+ years, we've published >1,000 notes, many of them novella length. At one point I counted up the words and it came out to writing War and Peace ... twice.

It's the question I get more than any other from new readers: how do I get into Epsilon Theory?

Or relatedly from more seasoned readers: how do I show other people what Epsilon Theory is all about?
So we're taking the core Epsilon Theory articles out from behind the paywall, organizing them, and making them available for everyone to access in the form they prefer to access them.

We've started with a four-part series from 2018 - Things Fall Apart.

My god.
Covid deaths in India growing exponentially, too, following case growth w/ ~2 wk lag as it always does.

IFR looks to be higher in this new wave, as is the case with most variants.
Airline passengers from India to the US must show a negative Covid test within 72 hours of travel. Given the explosive spread and unknown pathology of the Indian variant I think this is insufficient. I think all flights originating in India should be barred from entering the US.

They’re not even pretending anymore.

What’s our political reaction to these Hunger Games?

“The wackos on the left propose insane transaction taxes. The wackos on the right tell us how much liBeRtY we are enjoying by giving Ken Griffin all of our money.”

Burn. It. The. Fuck. Down.

More Americans dead than in World War II, and I get more emails and tweets like this than ever.

More than ever.
Also more than ever ...

Wear a mask.
Social distance.
Buy local.
Help your neighbor.
For the love of God, please be an empathetic human being.

This guy, with 19k followers, is a good example of what I'm talking about. This is just from today with @amlivemon. He blocked me a long time ago, so just sends these to his crew so they can go off on me. This has been going on for about 10 months. Now more than ever. ImageImage

Depending on your assumptions re: Covid infection cycle (how many days from exposure until you infect someone new) my back of envelope calcs show an effective R-number in Florida between 1.9 and 2.2 for the B117 variant.

That is ... umm ... problematic.
We've written a lot on ET about the challenge posed by the Covid virus variants. Like our original Covid writings a year ago, we've been early and we've been right about the variants, too.

Here's our first note, from January 12.

Here's the podcast on the Covid variants. Available on iTunes and Spotify, too.
