I imagine the same will be in the US. I imagine the economic impact for mid to large stores will be a lot less then forecasted.

There is going to be an initial bump from all the pent up demand. The question is what happens after that. At what level does it level off?

Additionally for many businesses especially weaker ones the damage has already been done. Don't forget the lockdown there was shorter.

Lock-down was shorter but there was no PPP and they gave a paltry 500 sheqel per kid (nothing to parents) so the bump is more substantial.

Dexamethasone was given to my daughter together with epinephrine when she went into anaphylactic shock. I’m no doctor, but I do find it fascinating that the most promising candidate to date in treating deadly COVID is a medicine that actually decreases immune response.

COVID has done funny things to some people’s immune systems. I know someone who was pretty sick with COVID and is now showing test results and symptoms of several auto-immune conditions.

File that under potential long-term ramifications of the flu I mean COVID.

Yes I have heard that one of the ways the deaths are caused is the body going into overdrive fighting the infection.

+1

This seems to be the biggest news in the fight against COVID-19 so far. An easily accessible medicine that 1) significantly reduced 2) actual mortality 3) in severe cases 4) in a large controlled study. First time any of those have occurred successfully.

The CBA in how to proceed literally changed overnight.
