The mystery is how has China recovered with such few COVID deaths outside Wuhan? I don’t think the virus respects state borders drawn on the map. -Arun

RE <<Vietnam says they've not had a single death ?>> OTOH, Team India's numbers were stuck at ~600 cases for the longest time starting at the get-go of January / February. OTOH I do have friends working and living in Vietnam and they report all-good-enough. I do not know until I know. It would be amazing that the planet was bum-rushed into a CoVid scare by neo people of one or another persuasion, or both, for agenda(s) having nought to do w/ health and happiness. In the meantime Wuhan seems all-good as well, as friends in and nearby report all-clear, and that business approaching 85-90% of pre-CoVid, a/k/a "V" Perhaps the "for the greater good" masking protocol helped and helps, and maybe the CoVid is not more than a flu. I certainly had a learning experience in stocking up on TamilFlu that all expired unopened. Interest business and suspect commerce. The visualisation of the virus certainly looks "booo" scary - the red "rash" is an alarming touch In any case, let us not waste time on the virus, for the world either moves onward and upward or we do. I did this Message 32993495 because <<there is a right price for TSLA and no correct price for GBTC>> - yes, am too lazy to be bothered to open my Trezor packaging and actually bet on the unadulterated BTC I like collecting somethings, as a friend (age 70+) collected toy cars (to the extent of starting operating a toy car making company that is still going strong in China and Mozambique or Madagascar or somewhere such) Re bitcoins trade, collecting bitcoins is not the plan. I collect gold coins, and inherited volumes and volumes of stamps, and have a lot of paintings of qi bai shi bought by my dad for walk-around money way back when. Of the three collections, I pay attention to the coins. I suppose I can get more coins should I swap in the stamps and paintings, but as I am not expert in the opaque markets of stamps and Chinese paintings. I think bitcoins is highly speculative, is not an asset class, perhaps qualifies as a trading game, but I do not plan to trade it. Bitcoins can get to 0 or 100,000 and make no difference to anyones life except those who own it or used to own it. IOW, it sounds possibly fun. 3 of too-many shelves specially built for way-too-many toys. Am told that all the cars are models of real cars my jack loved it all as you can well imagine my 70-years young friend has two teenage daughters and therefore appreciated greatly jack's questions my coconut agreed with the two girls, that dadas are crazy they are fun, though. My Trezor, never opened and unlikely to be every opened. Maybe it shall become a collectors item when something happens to BTC

<I spent a lot of time addressing the virus issues... back when the focus was the then still unmet need to prevent overwhelming health care capacities. That effort was required, then, in order to keep the mortality rates DOWN to 4%... which I'd correctly predicted, in January, would prove to be the "native" rate... instead of the 14% and more that was experienced only when failures in decision making meant those capacities were exceeded.> The absolute numbers in mortality may be different in the following study, but the percentage decline is similar. npr.org -Arun
