Chinese flu watch. Overnight I noted some interesting trends. I will get back to that later today. Interesting to say the least. ZeroHedge, meanwhile, asks whether Europe has broken the second wave? By the way, it should be noted:
- if I recall correctly, there was evidence that smallpox was retreating even before the vaccine became available; and,
- the Spanish flu pandemic of 1918 - 1920 disappeared despite no vaccine ever being developed; and,
- have we heard much about Ebola lately?
Staging:
- United/Pfizer staging Covid-19 vaccine in distribution centers across the US; anticipating FDA approval; The WSJ;
Politics:
- AOC may not have been as wrong as "we" think; Republicans continue to gain more seats in the US House. The Center Square. This is the first time I've linked this source; it will be interesting if the Google blogger app "lets it through." This reminds me of Hollywood and the censors in the pre-Code days.
Movies:
- TCM overnight -- The Fog. Link here.
Economy:
- also from The Center Square, new unemployment claims rising; states tighten restrictions;
- Florida conservatives applaud move toward $15-minimum wage;
- payroll-tax deferral as we transition to a new administration; The WSJ;
- copper hits 7-year high as demand builds;
- silver testing major support levels; climbing;
- silver demand: solar panels and 5G;
- boomers powering the latest leg of stock rally;
- NASDAQ hit new high to close out the week; I completely missed this news yesterday;
US mail:
- a small resurgence for snail mail; The WSJ;
