In other news:

- Yesterday marked the lowest number of reported fatalities in the U.S. since March 28

- Today marked the lowest number of reported new cases in the U.S. since March 26

Lockdowns/stay-at-home orders/social distancing measures are clearly working.

"So I know you're the head nurses of the ER and thoracics respectively, but I just read this article in Vanity Fair."
written by De Kai, with a physician from London, a bioinformaticist from Cambridge, an economist from Paris, and a sociologist and population-dynamics expert from Finland.

do you know who De Kai is?

"While all models have limitations and are only as good as their assumptions, this one is “a very thorough model and well done,” said William Schaffner, an infectious disease specialist at Vanderbilt University, who reviewed the De Kai team’s paper. “It supports a notion that I advocate along with most other infectious disease experts: that masks are very, very important.” Jeremy Howard, founding researcher at fast.ai and a distinguished research scientist at the University of San Francisco, also assessed the paper. “It’s almost overkill how careful they were with this modeling,” said Howard, who also coauthored and spearheaded a study last month (recently submitted to the journal PNAS) that reviewed dozens of papers assessing the effectiveness of masks."

What kind of reviews and endorsements does the nurse have for his/her opinion?

One more thing:

Tua Tagovailoa, the #5 overall draft pick and future hall of famer, signed his rookie contract with the Dolphins today - 4 years, $30 million.

This has nothing to do with COVID-19 but I am sure it is great news to everyone reading.

It isn't about whether you would buy one or not. It's about whether or not you will support others buying one who might not normally. You're part of the soft marketing.

And yes it's solely about money... Elon gonna blow his option.

Elon has you wrapped around his little finger.



Old drama queen Musk knows damn well he isn't getting arrested. He just needed some eyes on him as that's part of keeping the large divide between the stock price and Tesla's actual value. He'll be comparing himself to Rosa Parks next.

narrow minded statement brother
lot of exaggeration going on in your reasoning and post

I have supported each business that opened despite the "rules"

Is it a good PR move for him? yes
Should businesses open back up if they choose? yes
