Manhattan apartment deals plunge 57%, suburban real estate surgesJust my opinion, but I don't believe that.

it is always hard for me to retain such complex data--but the statement about the "bradykinis having been overlooked" struck me. My guess is the newest research will be addressing it more, and answering more questions.
I will wait and see what happens with the vaccine. I have not had a tetanus booster for 40 years since I had a booster after I cut my foot and my throat swelled up. I also have a daughter who had to have the whooping cough taken out of the triple antigen because her whole arm swelled and she had a fever.
I think that we are people who have allergies, not anything wrong with the vaccines.
If you sell in a rising market, you also have to buy in a rising market. I have friends who sold their homes in the city and moved to a country town and did not really enjoy it, but could not get back into the market in the city again.
I am putting the elderly, healthcare staff and vulnerable in one group as being a priority as that is the category worst hit by coronovirus so I believe they will get it first. Care homes have been worst hit in this pandemic, some states have had more than 50% in that category and the majority of the deaths have been in the over 65 age group. I have also seen some reports that age 50 and over would get it first. I don't know if it is in the rollout plans. I'll have to look so this is MOO for now.If it comes to fruition, the elderly will not go first. Presumably the distribution will follow the 2009 plan:
During the H1N1 influenza pandemic in 2009, ACIP developed a five-tiered priority list for vaccine distribution that frames the current discussion. First came critical health care and public health personnel, pharmacists, emergency responders, police and firefighters, along with "deployed personnel." The second tier included essential military support, the National Guard, intelligence services and other national security personnel as well as mortuary workers, and those in communications, IT and utilities. High-risk adults were in the fourth tier and healthy adults, aged 19 to 64 were in the last group. Children were a high priority in that plan, because H1N1 hit them harder. They will be a lower priority this time, Schaffner said, because they are not involved in current vaccine trials.

That's crazy. Why doesn't the passenger have to reimburse the government for the cost of the repatriation?I was looking up the cost to the taxpayers of our repatriation flights. It seems that for these repatriation flights, us taxpayers have already paid Qantas $248,000,000.
I guess we have done one or two repatriation flights all the way across the world and back - that seems like an awful lot of money, to me.
Plus $267,000,000 to retain their employees.
(Then they stood down 20,000 employees. The union is furious and wants them to pay that money back.)
Due to the coronavirus, their CEO Alan Joyce, has agreed to only take 65% of his normal salary level until November - he got $12,217,400 last year .... so what is that, about $1,020,000 each month for a few months?
Hard times, for us taxpayers. IMO

Thanks for posting this Legally. Amazingly detailed report. However, the actually daily cases for the US have been declining overall since 17 July, when they were 75k daily to the 7th August before the rally, when they were 60k daily till yesterday when they were 26k. If the 250k increase in cases they have calculated since the rally began on the 10th Aug, that would equate to a daily increase of at least 10k a day, which does not seem to have happened. In fact they have fallen by at least an average of 1k per day since a month ago.Apologies if already posted, paper by Center for Health Economics & Policy Studies at San Diego State University on the Sturgis rally. They estimate it resulted in 250,000 cases and a public health cost of $12.bn.

Just do not think that elderly would be a preference over health care workers and LE.I am putting the elderly, healthcare staff and vulnerable in one group as being a priority as that is the category worst hit by coronovirus so I believe they will get it first.

I worry that many of our hard hit urban centres are going to look like dystopian archetypes---devastated ruins of crumpled skyscrapers and battered 5 star Hotels, looking like a move set after Armageddon.It might be. On the downside, cities are losing so much money due to the pandemic. Rock meet hard place.
I didn't say they would - I said they would all be in the priority group, in my view. I have just posted a UK link now that seems to confirm it also. Still checking US policy.Just do not think that elderly would be a preference over health care workers and LE.
It is hard for me to believe that The Strip will be able to keep itself together for very much longer.Minneapolis? I am in Las Vegas this weekend. Everything that makes Vegas "fun" is pretty much gone. I used to go to shows, and after the show, go out clubbing, drinking, dancing, meet new people, go have breakfast.
That whole scene is gone, for now. Maybe it will be back.

ETA just added details from CDC in a link to my previous post. Health care personnel and LTC personal and residents are among the priority. It seems there will be limited amounts initially.
