I think so many people are thinking that this will all go away when we have a vaccine. But the likelihood is that the COVID vaccine will act a whole lot more like the flu vaccine (i.e., 40% effective, required seasonally) than say, the polio vaccine.
COVID-19 2020
it's all conjecture at this point
but my feeling is it will be like the flu vaccine and have to administer annually
it is going to mutate
I did here that they feel that it will still be effective if less than 2/3s get it due to it's contagion factor
i.e. measles …very contagious and need like 95% people vaccinated

YeH but will we change the way we are living?
Seems like some experts are doubtful
I mean no social gatherings could be necessary for at least another year and a half? My 77 year old mother lives in Argentina…when can she safely fly up here? When she is 79?!? When will kids be able to go to school? Are concerts out until 2022?!? What about the economy? I assume our generation could be done? I mean not tons of time to fatten up those nest eggs? Many are fine but for sure many are counting on things getting back to normal and better and putting in another 20 years? For many they will live off their inheritance but not all…and what will they then leave their own kids.. The last great economic expansion was in the 1990s!! Are millennials doomed to a life of waiting tables and working bars at 25% capacity establishments?
Realistically how long can IMP last?
And how long can government keep way overspending and the Fed keep pumping money in before the $ goes to shit?
I don’t know that many people realize how dire things are beginning to look…

the stock market kinda shocks me in this matter, since it's more of a forward looking measure
You'd think the people with a lot of money on the line would just start pulling money out
I'm not saying this has anything to do with reality, but I'm surprised that we haven't seen a crash there, since it's pretty obvious that the economy is going shit the bed so bad that we are going to not only need a new bed, but a new room to sleep in
Totally
It may be a case of people thinking they can ride this as long as possible and take their money out right before the crash maybe when Biden wins?
I wonder if some of the real estate price increase in this area is due to people wanting to buy some bricks…home prices here in Arlington going up up up and it ain’t the schools!
My brother in law builds homes in Houston and they can’t keep pace with demand
Then you look at price of gold…
Obviously with these ridiculous artificially low interest rates people need something to do with cash
Everything is way more messed up than most people seem to realize

Real Estate too…it's crazy
interest rates have something to do with it, but I'm just a little shocked
I also don't know how Malls, regular retail and commercial real estate haven't just totally imploded
Every business I interact with is now looking to reduce their office space footprint as a way to stem the bleeding
we've proven that a lot of Office jobs can be done from home at a much cheaper cost
People don't want to go shopping when everything can just be delivered
That ripple effect is going to be brutal
I just don't get it.

Take a close look at which stock are having the most growth and how much. They're carrying the rest.

Interest rates are part of it, but there is also a big push among those that can afford it to:
(1) add an office for your continued work at home / get a quiet place away from kids so you can work
(2) leave densely populated condos for smaller condo buildings or single family homes to get away from elevators, hallways and other common areas (and amenities you once paid for you can no longer use [pools, gyms, party rooms])
(3) people are looking for separate entrances, backyards, decks or have dedicated, private outside space as public space is no longer usable.
Thus the market is flooded with people moving up.

I have no comment on those two posts.
so this was a somewhat comforting notification from COVIDWISE
But to be honest…I may be the only person with the App installed
This app is a simple way for people to contact trace but isn't really effective if 6 people install it

Man, I don't know how my Qanon friends didn't remind me of this earlier. I guess we should give Trump the credit

U.S. stocks continue their surge, with the S&P 500, Dow Jones Industrial Average and the Nasdaq all finishing the day higher on Wednesday, as seemingly every sector of the market has rallied since the start of the third quarter.
