San Diego Comic-Con Cancelled for First Time in 50-Year History

I think most people will not listen to what these show promoters are saying. They are not going to attend any shows this year, period! When thousands of people around you are getting sick and dying, are you seriously going to take that risk - over sports cards?

This year is EFFED! See you all in 2021!

This is from the Politico Newsletter this morning. Politico is reasonably well centered in how they report about Washington (they try to keep down the middle as much as possible)

- STAT: "Early peek at data on Gilead coronavirus drug suggests patients are responding to treatment," by Adam Feurstein and Matthew Herper: "A Chicago hospital treating severe Covid-19 patients with Gilead Sciences' antiviral medicine remdesivir in a closely watched clinical trial is seeing rapid recoveries in fever and respiratory symptoms, with nearly all patients discharged in less than a week, STAT has learned.

"Remdesivir was one of the first medicines identified as having the potential to impact SARS-CoV-2, the novel coronavirus that causes Covid-19, in lab tests. The entire world has been waiting for results from Gilead's clinical trials, and positive results would likely lead to fast approvals by the Food and Drug Administration and other regulatory agencies. If safe and effective, it could become the first approved treatment against the disease.

"The University of Chicago Medicine recruited 125 people with Covid-19 into Gilead's two Phase 3 clinical trials. Of those people, 113 had severe disease. All the patients have been treated with daily infusions of remdesivir

That's why David was talking about stuff moving overnight. I have no dog in this fight but he follows the market a lot closer than I do and this could be an important development.

Rich, the STAT article is the same one I linked to, and quoted above. The details buried well down in the article aren't nearly as sexy as the lede would suggest. I am generally a live and let live kinda guy. So, I am not going to tell anyone what to do. But, given that we are dealing with a health issue, I am going to put more weight on the opinion of my doctor than that of my stockbroker.

The stock broker isn’t telling anyone what to do. The stock broker was highlighting potentially very positive news for all of us.

I am very hopeful as a human they have success with these trials. Everyone should be.

The NSCC board is consulting with top experts on the issue:

Don’t really have a dog in this message board fight but diseases like this bring what’s important to the front. I’m deemed essential and I go home everyday praying I didn’t get it and that I don’t spread it to my family. Many topics end up on this page that honestly probably don’t fit the criteria for being here. Does it really need to escalate to the point of name calling and expletives? Dpeck, have no issue with what you did and I for one enjoy your posts.

Everyone please stay safe and healthy!
