Working with nurses and paramedics has convinced me that they aren't any smarter than the average person when it comes to Covid. Which makes sense since that's not their area of expertise, but Jesus, it's like Fox News out there.

Its honestly just the quarantine but yeah bro. Throughout this, I've been lit on and off. The first thing I noticed is that I have yet to have a day without hearing sirens. The second was the neighbor's weak rear end stroke game. But it wasn't weak last night! LOL

I'm not quite sure where the statements of optimism from Cuomo last week came from, NY has been pushing like 800 deaths per day, so I guess the rate of new cases / hospitalization is receding somehow?

The rate of hospitalization is down, it’s a leading indicator versus deaths, which is kind of lagging.

As is common, it's a weird almagamum of things that are half true that either he does not understand or is deliberately misleading about.

Evidence suggests that the greatest proximate source of infection in NYC was from travelers coming from Europe. Sure, those travelers probably got it through some series of events leading back to Wuhan, but the point of these traces is to figure out how to manage pandemics not to have someone just angrily point out the address of "patient 0" or whatever. If my city has a pox outbreak, it's not very useful to point out that the version of pox originally came from some other continent long ago.

IIRC the China threatened to or had some NYT reporters expelled from China after questioning the Chinese government's line about rate of infection, number of deaths, etc. China's official reasoning for threatening the explusion of journalists was that the Trump administration announced it would limit the number of Chinese media personnel allowed inside the USA. China expelled 3 WSJ reporters a few weeks back.

quote:

“We urge the United States to immediately change its course, correct mistakes, and stop political suppression and unreasonable restrictions on Chinese media,” Mr. Geng said. “If the United States insists on taking its own course, compounding mistakes, China will be forced to take further countermeasures.”

quote:

WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Monday limited to 100 the number of Chinese citizens who may work in the United States for five state-controlled Chinese news organizations. The decision is expected to escalate tensions between Washington and Beijing in a diplomatic feud that has caught journalists in the crossfire.

The State Department insisted that it was not expelling Chinese journalists, a step that Beijing took last month against three Wall Street Journal reporters — the first time foreign correspondents had been ordered to leave China since 1998.

But the new limits could, in effect, force Chinese citizens to leave if their visas allowing them to work in the United States are tied to the news organizations that must now choose which employees will remain on assignment in the United States.

In a statement, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the United States would not restrict the content of what the five organizations report — a contrast to what he described as increased surveillance, harassment and intimidation of foreign journalists in China.

So basically the president is screaming at the NYT for pointing out that COVID-19 came to NYC from Europe and arguing that the NYT should be pinning blame on China instead, while mocking the NYT for supposedly being pro-PRC despite the PRC being unfair to open media.

So it's basically a dumb rant born of half-way real events.

Also it was Dr. Fauci, only adult on the Corona Virus Task Force, who corroborated that the vector for infection most likely came to NY from Italy. Washington State was a direct China infection, but NY was infected by people from Italy, which shows how weak and late Trump was with his travel ban.

The article in question.

https://www.reddit.com/r/wallstreetbets/comments/flhb0d/i_failed_my_portfolio_margin_call_final_damage/


quote:

"Initial deposit was $400k. I'm on portfolio margin and UPRO had a 36% maintenance margin requirement (initial is the same.) TMF had a 24% maintenance margin requirement (initial is also the same.) TDA applied a bond-stock margin maintenance reduction credit of 90%, so multiply maintenance by .10. So UPRO maint was down to 3.6%, TMF 2.4%.

I was a complete dumbass and levered the portfolio up 8x, borrowing $2.8 million on my $400k deposit.

Apparently since I used box spreads to finance it TDA saw no margin loan and left the account alone. I got a 5 day portfolio margin call when it was red and I didn't have $125k equity, but whoever I got in risk management didn't realize what I was doing and gave me 5 days to slide. Of course I didn't have extra funds to wire in so I just let it sit."
