Meanwhile, New York City and Dothan, Ala., are kindred spirits.

 

That is the truest statement in this entire mess.

 

Tell it to the unemployed in Florida who are trying to negotiate Rick Scott's version.

 

I think it's much too soon to tell.

It certainly didn't help keep people at home when that would have made a bigger difference.

 

About a dozen states haven’t even started paying it out yet.

 

We'll see. I don't mean to play pessimist, but I've seen too many promising vaccines fail to make it to final approval. I'm certain that a CV vaccine will get approved even with flaws that would get an ordinary vaccine candidate rejected, but I remain in the skeptical camp until it clears the approval process. At that point we hit the manufacturing and distribution bottleneck.

 

A Moderna exec recently left the company to be the vaccine czar for the Trump White House. His financial stake in the company is worth $10 million. I smell a rat. And not the kind you test on.
Also: Wall Street is going gaga for an initial report based on eight test subjects? Eight?

 

Yes, eight out of 45. This was hardly worth a $20 bump in the price of the stock pre-market opening.

 

Wall St. is desperate for a vaccine. Any company that announces a positive test result will get a ridiculous bump. Hell, if Xi Jinping announces China's had positive tests the whole market will jump up. This is beyond saying, "we think things will get back to what they were like before relatively quickly" to "things HAVE to get back to where they were" a sentiment frantically searching for any validation it can find.
