Feels like the Thanksgiving when I was younger, watch the high school football games in the cold. Seems all the games were cold back then but I'm probably forgetting a mild one here or there.

Supernovice Posted November 25, 2021 Share Posted November 25, 2021 I know this topic is banned and it should be tbh- but I just saw the data re: the WHO meeting tomm. It’s basically the worst case scenario. If I’m going to be depressed on thanksgiving so are all of you. Heavy whiskey incoming. Delete this if you want- whatever. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look I’m not an epidemiologist- I’m a finance guy and this came to me through my IB this afternoon. The data is about as devastating as it could be. The genetic mapping indicates that this variant has the potential to evade immune responses- both generated through vaccine and naturally. It is possible(likely) that it is more transmissible than delta. It is quite frankly the worst possible news we could have. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways- obvs hope the experts are wrong but given the UK just announced travel restrictions I don’t think the concern is unwarranted I digress- it’s dessert time. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

STILL N OF PIKE Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Good heads up Supernovice That story is a big market mover Soon we will all be on lockdown ...playing in the metaverse . Half kidding Buy the dip in lockdown stocks and play to earn crypto /metaverse platforms (games come and go) The amount of money going into the metaverse infrastructure and development is monumental and the Covid story is pure gasoline (assuming the narrative grows) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be clear- my posts were not calling out media hysteria. I actually think this is a potentially HUGE deal. And I didn’t even expect a market reaction until early next week tbh - so wrong there. two caveats—first- small sample sizes can lead to wildly distorted analysis- so it’s possible this isn’t as bad as it seems. secondly one thing my job taught me is if I’m looking at data in an area I have no expertise in- and it’s telling me a clear story- I should be very wary. The clearer the story it tells the more dangerous my analysis tends to be- like lose ur job dangerous. Just keep that in mind and listen to the experts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If forthcoming studies show that it evades existing vaccines, is as transmissible as some initial reports suggest, and/or is more severe, all bets will be off. For now, US citizens will still be able to return from those 7 countries after Monday’s travel ban goes into effect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would have to assume that would impose some type of deadline prior to implementing such a drastic sanction, however, finding room on flights will be another matter entirely...will also see prices soar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
