Now let’s flip the script. Are those hoping for it’s lack of efficacy really in big Pharm pocket looking for a more profitable treatment? Are they heavily invested in the “resist” movement that’s they’d rather hydroxychloroquine fail than let the President get a perceived win?

Likewise, I'm sure India will understand why we can't use wage lowering visas and will need to severely tax international remittences. Its not personal, its just business.

I am not making one word of that up. You'll forgive all of us if we don't regard "mark my words" as some sort of fast track to legitimacy.

Kinda like the hospitals in our area that are furloughing staff, both medical and admin, because they have - get this - no patients. WTF?
Kinda like our farmers here, they have no demand for their fruits and veggies. This time of year is when our produce grown here kicks in to the markets. No demand. So it's left to rot. WTF? (some is given away to food banks, but limited).
Kinda like the dairy industry here as well, low demand, milk is being dumped. WTF?
I could go on with my own little corner of the world. This is what shutting down the economy does. Its gonna hurt a bunch of people. It's gonna directly affect people way more than the bug.
