If you aren't celebrating, what exactly is your point? Why do you keep equating NY deaths with the Southern states? Those deaths happen in NY when didn't know how to stop the disease from spreading or how to treat it when it someone caught it. Almost all of those 32000 deaths in FL, TX, GA and AZ have happened since NY got their out break under control and learned a pile of hard lessons on COVID management and individual treatment. NY has just as many young people, just as many college students, just as many bars and restaurants, etc. but they have managed to get their daily new case rate to about 500 per day and their daily number of deaths hasn't exceeded 15 since July 8th. If FL, TX, GA, and AZ had less than 15 deaths a day we'd have 30000 fewer deaths. The governors in those states have been reckless with public health all in the name of having a slightly less crappy economy and try to salvage Trump's presidency.

Thanks, birdman. Pretty much this.
Brad, you keep coming back to repeat the same thing, which seems to be gloating that NY still has more deaths than Florida. Given that doesn't really make much sense to bring up now, given that their deaths were mostly earlier, and they have improved, it doesn't make sense why you are doing that except to gloat. As birdman asked, what exactly is your point or objective when you keep doing that?

Brad is proving that the Mensa members of the Tunnels Left aren't nearly as smart as he is.
 
I don't know I dunk on all those people that died in the 1800's. Fucking idiots didn't even know about antibiotics.
 
If you can't find a miracle cure before the election, just stop testing for it. Solved.

Stock ticker symbol is OPK, Opko Health. They own BioReference Labs the #3 Covid testing lab in the country. Stock was about $1.50 back in Jan-Feb and they had a couple of good drugs in the Phase 2 to Phase 3 pipeline when I noticed their CEO Dr Frost has been buying up millions of shares on his own and not selling. Then Covid hit and they have been one of the leaders in testing since March. Were doing 40,000 tests at $100 per pop and also thousands of antibody tests per day also at $100 per pop. Earnings were negative for 1st quarter thru March which did NOT include much Covid testing billing. Sock is up over $4 now on its way, I feel to $6 by the Aug5 earnings date when these testings earnings start to hit! For those that know some about shorting, there are also about 120 million shares shorted on this stock out of about 700 mill total outstanding shares and the CEO & President own 200 mill or more shares. So when it starts to rocket up it could start a "short squeeze" of significant portions. Do your due diligence on OPK. I have a significant number of shares and Sept & Dec options also. I look for great things in this Covid stock!

Don’t care if you use this to make any money or not & not plugging anything. Just trying to show you a way to make a shit ton of money mainly because of Covid for the next few quarters. Will get back to you though when it hits $10 in the fall.

OPK. Check on this one again before it rockets thru $5. Getting ready to be announced their BioReference Labs has gotten the contract for the NFL to go along with the MLS & the NBA. Jumped up .57 on Friday to $4.60 on 27 million shares & up another .19 after hours. Just trying to help you guys that love capitalism make some money here on a little drug stock that is doing a shit ton of Covid tests--was 40,000 per day @ $100 each & now geared up to do 90,000 per day as ALL the labs in the U.S. are reaching their capacities. They are also doing even more than that on the antibody testing side of things!

How's this working out for you?
 
So Trump is set to announce a $750million deal with Abbott for appx 150 million "rapid corona virus testing kits". You can read about it on CNBC, CNN, Politico, CBS, WSJ and even Science Magazine. One news site suspiciously missing is the one you would think would be happiest to announce that news: Fox. I'm so confused. This seems like great news. The only thing I can think of is that Trump has ordered them not to report until he makes some grand announcement.

Along the lines of living in opposite world: I find it hilarious every time a Pub blames Dems for prolonging this whole ordeal. If you wanted to prolong an economic recession with a pandemic in order to hurt the president, you would say "Don't wear a mask and keep going out like normal. Don't listen to what the CDC or scientists are telling you. It's not real." As it continued to get worse and worse. Yet some how, the roles are reversed: the left is trying to end this thing as soon as possible, while mouth breathing Trumpers are coughing around Cracker Barrel.

The Abbott test is a pretty big breakthrough in that it doesn't need special equipment it read the results. Unfortunately it still needs a professional to take the nasal swab (unlike a saliva test) and will be very much like a flu or strep test.

This should really help in school settings and other areas/businesses.
 
Agreed. This would be much more impactful in a political context without so much misinformation though.
