We stopped the world’s economy for a virus 99.9% of people survive and we printed $7 trillion in unbacked currency while we did it.

This is how it is now. That toothpaste doesn’t go back in the tube. Sorry. Some of us tried to stop it.

@HYBondLover Add it to a long list of sectors/businesses where this has been the case….

A reserve is a temporary hold on a *percentage* of a business' funds, not neccessarily the full amount. The sole function of a reserve is to ensure there's enough money to refund customers. We send multiple email warnings with information about the reserve terms, the percentage of funds that will be held, and the time period for which the reserve will be applied. Normally this is 30–90 days to give time for customers' refunds/disputes to process.

@Delta. We got caught in jam on i70 and thought we missed flight. Got to DEN 3:50. Flt 982, last update was 3:48 dep. No text, no update from gate agent or online agent, flt didn't leave until 450. Now booked into MPLS and need miracle connection.

This is the single most important fact of the current stage of the epidemic. Vaccines are radically reducing fatality rates in counties that have vaccinated elderly and vulnerable people. It's way more important than whether there are slightly more breakthrough infections.

"We're at a point in time where we can start to lift these [COVID-19] ordinances,” @ScottGottliebMD says. “People have to judge their own individual risk based on their own circumstances."

@AlexBerenson @nytimes The CV19 restrictions put on college students are causing a mental health crisis:
"Administrators in higher education need to realize that the mental health challenges faced by students are far more severe than their risk from COVID-19..."

Which is to say that the WHO was saying in 2011 what the #GreatBarringtonDeclaration is saying today. https://t.co/Ei7JFI3PJB

[Drew Holden @DrewHolden360]

I spend a lot of timing thinking about how The Atlantic ran an article titled “Georgia’s Experiment in Human Sacrifice” back in April and, six months later, the death rate from coronavirus there is still *less than half* what it is in NY, NJ and MA.

Wow. ⁦@SWAtlasHoover⁩ lays out the science piece by piece and the press is left in the dust.

Joe Biden’s big spending proposals deserve more attention than they’re getting, @henryolsenEPPC writes https://t.co/40oHrQoncJ

"The point of life is living, and everyone is better off with policies that focus on protecting the most vulnerable populations. It requires only abandoning fear, being sensible...choosing to live with the virus, rather than to live for it."

Biden commits to @jaketapper that he'll raise the corporate tax rate on "day one," regardless of the unemployment rate. Doesn't think it will affect hiring.

Updated CDC data showing how many Americans have died with covid versus without covid during the pandemic.

Imagine the number of lives we could save by focusing on impactful social habits and by spending the same trillions of dollars but on our actual leading causes of death.

"There's already, let's say, a steep thesis, that after five days we say the infectious period is actually over...It's no use having all kinds of school classes, all kinds of workplaces under weeks of quarantine." https://t.co/88ZtNVVJrA

Atlas: “The purpose of testing is to stop people from dying, stop people from getting a serious illness from this disease, and allowing other people, who are very low-risk, to function."
