I'd just like to point out that neither myself nor any of my fellow nurses, fellow advanced nurse practitioners, and other healthcare providers ever swore an oath that we would lay down our lives for

Welp, it finally happened. I snapped in public today. I went into work for a bit this morning because I’m trying to figure out the safest way to host physicians we are recruiting given our CV-19 sit

I don't really know what to say anymore tbh. What happened last night is hard to put into words for anyone who hasn't worked in a hospital healthcare setting. Just unreal. Everyone is getting fucked.

I think Tom Hanks getting corona AIDS is important.  He’s a friendly, familiar face representative of the infected that were just an abstract concept for the vast majority of Americans.  Kudos to the Hanks for coming forth with their diagnosis, and their timing was impeccable.

“In 2020, the global economy will crash due to a global pandemic and the President of the United States will be an impeached white supremacist reality TV star imbecile that was installed via a Kremlin military intelligence operation.”
Imagine telling yourself this in 2014

I mean...fuck...just...goddamn.
We are so fucked.

Is there one that originates at election day?
Just based on the data, you trim about a 2k pt dow gain out of the analysis if you originate at inauguration vs. election day. 


This one starts on Election Day, but S&P500

It's the most important thing to happen today and I'm not kidding.

There will still be supporters who think of him as liberal Hollywood, but it casts a shadow that is harder to ignore. I hope he and the Mrs. recover quickly.

Hm - that’s weird...  he was so casual about it just a few days ago:

I wonder how he caught it...

Basketball karma is real. Just ask those bracket people. I once made a bracket for the NCAA based on whether I liked mascots or thought they were mean. Amazed at how far I got. Too bad there weren't any schools with a goldfish mascot.

 

Has anyone heard if Dr. Fauci is still employed?

He's a liberal cunt and I'll turn on him faster than I turned on Beto's pal Willie Nelson.

Just the brown ones, I’m sure. 

It makes zero sense, it’s just to hurt the leaders who rail against trump. It’s just an excuse to fight with Germany and France. 

Fuckkkkkkkkk him.

Actually, I get the logic.  Europe is blowing up, not just Italy.  Spain is probably less than a week behind Italy, and France not far behind that. Switzerland, Norway both have big numbers of cases per capita.  The biggest flaw in the logic is timing. It's too late.  He needs to changing American behavior way beyond flying to Europe.  He needs to get people to make fewer contacts with other people, particularly if they have a cough, regardless if they think they have COVID19.

Cuomo saying on CNN they have released more details and that the travel ban will not apply to American citizens.

What are the chances his aides knew that before the speech?  What are the chances they made it up when asked?

Exempting the UK is key. They have more cases than any other EU country not named Italy.

Trump thinks life is his own personal Truman show.  Someone else is pulling the levers behind the scenes and shit will always work out alright as long as he plays the part of the Developer, the Billionaire, the President.  He doesn’t have to actually DO anything.  That’s what other people are for.  He just has to show up, play make-believe, and take all the credit.  

It’s terrifying and perversely hilarious that the greatest nation in human history, at the apex of its power, elected such a clownish fraud as our leader.  

It's insane how far we've fallen and how badly we're about to pay for the sins but I'd say the apex of the USA was September 10, 2001. It's been a steady decline in most ways since then.

He's toast.  What's that site you go to for election odds?  If he is anything above 50% it's way off.  No way in hell market recovers in time for him.

I agree. predictit.com

Couple lines I am on.

Trump wins popular vote, NO, @ 0.70

Dem party wins, Yes; GOP wins, No.  This is basically 50/50, but you can put more on teh line by betting #bothsides of it. 

Presidential winner Trump NO @ 0.51.  Also on Sanders No and Biden No at smaller positions.

 

There are some extremely wild positions that I will probably take some fliers on in case Biden croaks.

I know 0.70 is already high but that's a bargain. There's zero fucking chance he wins the popular vote outright. I don't care if he discovers the cure for coronavirus in his big mac.

You’re discounting foreign actors influencing the election.  Also, Does everybody just get their money back if there is no election?

Even with that, the nationally beloved Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by nearly 3,000,000 votes.

Foreign actors won't be able to tilt the popular vote.  Not sure what happens if there is no election, but if that comes to pass I doubt anyone will be worried about their predictit account balance.
