There's still some bargains to be had, probably, but not many. I think you'll get your wish soon enough.

Art, for example, is being unloaded like crazy right now. So you're probably right that this has something to do with it as well. I think it's a variety of issues coming to a head, many of which you and I have both touched on. I know you have knowledge about crypto. I bought a bitcoin when it was 6300. Do you think Corona is going to affect it's acceptance and price? I see that Paypal bought a couple of crypto platforms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just because they mandate it doesn't mean people do it, it doesn't mean businesses enforce it, it doesn't mean people make an effort to distance, etc. 4 hours ago, Del Scorcho said: so we've reached this point in my state https://www.cnn.com/2020/10/26/health/utah-hospitals-care-rationing-covid/index.html note: we are also the youngest state in the nation Was going to mention this. We're getting to the point where they're going to start having to make decisions on who gets the care vs who gets booted because of age or because of severe condition unlikely to survive.

Old_SD_Dude Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 A new study by economists at the University of Kansas has found that counties in the state where residents are obliged to wear masks in public have seen about half as many new coronavirus infections as counties that do not have a mask mandate in force. https://www.nytimes.com/live/2020/10/26/world/covid-19-coronavirus-updates/kansas-counties-with-mask-mandates-had-half-the-rate-of-new-infections-a-study-finds 1 Quote Thay Haif Said: Quhat Say Thay?

NM has a statewide mask mandate and you have Grant County with an incidence of 9.5/100k and next door Luna County leading the State at 140/100k. Both demographically similar. Other mask studies are stronger I think. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went to a place in Davis County this morning to get a tonneau cover for my new truck. None of the staff or the customers were wearing masks...except me. It is not like I am this huge mask zealot, but it still struck me as odd that so many people were just not having it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Antibodies start to decline pretty quick. Often times though vaccination apparently provides better immunity. Let’s hope so. At least those of us that plan to get it. 1 Quote Thay Haif Said: Quhat Say Thay? Lat Thame Say Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UNLV2001 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Saw where getting a flu shot might help ease or stave off covid by boosting antibodies Did get a flue shot a week ago A Flu Shot Might Reduce Coronavirus Infections, Early Research Suggests Hospital workers who got vaccinated were significantly less likely to develop COVID than those who did not https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/a-flu-shot-might-reduce-coronavirus-infections-early-research-suggests/ U.S. health officials are urging Americans to get their flu shots this year in the hopes of thwarting a winter “twindemic”—a situation in which both influenza and COVID-19 spread and sicken the public. But a new study suggests that there could be another key reason to get a flu jab this year: it might reduce your risk of COVID-19. The research, released as a preprint that has not yet been peer-reviewed, indicates that a flu vaccine against the influenza virus may also trigger the body to produce broad infection-fighting molecules that combat the pandemic-causing coronavirus.

Much more pain/soreness, and a lot of people feel like shit for up to a week afterwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
