    thats legit that you haven't had to pay them the full amount already. i think 100% of my season was funded in like january.

    They have an option to pay in full or to break it up over two separate payments, I just got lucky and accidentally made the right call.

    Have OSU football season tickets. Pay in 4 installments
    Installment 1 was March (paid). April was suspended...

    Seat selection was to be no later than April 20th, and they send an email 5 days prior and haven't sent it yet...so not optimistic there

    I understand it's not 100% or 100% right away. I can see waves for sure. And I can also see companies taking on more of a cash cushion to help if this happens again in the future, depressing those waves of re-hire and CapEx. But 2/3 sounds incredibly too high to me. I'll go back and try to find your post. Thanks.

    Fair points although I think there will definitely be wide ranges by industry and locality in how fast people get back to spending and companies get back to hiring. Neighbor is a dentist with 20 employees. Put 18 on furlough (2 kept for emergency treatments), thinks he will re-hire in waves as the economy gets better and people start coming back. Mentioned that 2-3 are not great performers, so maybe he tries to steal another hygienist or admin from a different dental practice. But all 20 of those will likely be back in dental practices within a reasonable time.
    Of course, less skilled/specific workers in retail, food, hospitality will have more trouble. But I think a lot of those get back in due time. Maybe I'm just too optimistic.

    OK, last post on the topic: I do get that, but my opinion is that losing them so quick is what makes it more likely we bounce back reasonably well. Long, slow declines are much, much worse for the economy IMO. You see boarded up windows everywhere, broken windows where they aren't boarded, parts of town start becoming known as dangerous, crime rises, etc. That makes it much more likely that businesses in those areas won't re-start and the people living there get in a downward spiral of living day to day, taking more chances on crime, etc. What just happened was almost like everyone just decided to go off planet on vacation. You don't see that degradation of the community like you do when the drop off happens over time.
    Of course, I may be wrong.

    I was of this train of thought about 3-4 weeks ago, but I’ve grown much more pessimistic. If we did an SK style full lockdown where contact tracing would be viable going forward, we could have contained this and it would have been a blip like you’re describing.

    Unfortunately I think we are entering a “new normal” until a vaccine (or at the very least, more effective treatment). Note I don’t mean permanent shelter in place, but I do mean rolling periods of that combined with extensive social distancing.

    Luckily, most predictions I have are wrong, so we’ll see.

    Don't know if this is a peek into U.S. Q2, but China released Q1 numbers showing 6.8% contraction to the economy vs. 6.5% and the first "reported" contraction since 1976.

    Btw did you actually buy BCRH? Playing out as anticipated. $6 dividend & delisted at end of March. Now trading at about $1.30 but still in full unwind mode.

    Given the dividend it’s about at equivalent of $7.30 from a 6.72 close in December which is a solid play compared to the rest of the market.

    BTW pacey this is what fundamental analysis looks like.

    GILD released a statement on remdesivir, saying data is INCONCLUSIVE, no statistical power to determine efficacy, and reports are anecdotal - after its stocks surged after hours.

    Gilead issued a statement which suggested that STAT was pumping the stock based on nothing more than "anecdotal reports" to wit:

    "We understand the urgent need for a Covid-19 treatment and the resulting interest in data on our investigational antiviral drug remdesivir. The totality of the data need to be analysed in order to draw any conclusions from the trial."

    "Anecdotal reports, while encouraging, do not provide the statistical power necessary to determine the safety and efficacy profile of remdesivir as a treatment for Covid-19. We expect the data from our Phase 3 study in patients with severe Covid-19 infection to be available at the end of this month, and additional data from other studies to become available in May."
