WW Cases: 1,337,167; WW Deaths: 74,176
The US had over a 1,000 deaths yesterday to take their grisly total over 10k. And from I read, on the admittedly left wing, young and morose biased reddit.com, suggests that the Republican heartlands in the centre and in the south are going to get hit hard. There, the citizens are taking their cue from Trump. They are eager to dismiss, and if cornered by reality they shrug their shoulders and put their chin out cornered and defiant, no longer interested in arguments of the mind bent instead on survival. They will go deep into the valley of death before casting off their beliefs…in Donnie.
And that’s why I have shorted the S&P500, because it represents the stocks of companies that serve the domestic American market. And I think those companies are going to be hit hardest in the southern and centre states because that’s where Covid is heading and that’s where they follow the Gospel of Donnie. Now, the S&P went up 6% today. I might be very wrong but I am in for the ride.
In other news Prime Minister Boris Johnson is in intensive care in the UK. There is what amounts to an online vigil for him. Reddit threads spanning thousands of messages and contributors all saying a few words…marking what is another remarkable moment in this very fucking trippy Covid world.
I’ll share a front page or tow to give a flavour of the vibe at this moment at 22:08, Mon 6 Apr, Ireland
