COVID-19: Chapter 6 - ThanksGRAVING

To be honest I’m just whining it does not bug me to much. I’m use to working in the cold. Had some outdoor winter jobs in my life and worked on the ice crew in the campus ice rink. Standing on the ice while you clean all that glass will harden you. Long Johns and a jacket and I’m good to go.

I don’t want to drive traffic to 2p2, but it looks like Kentucky found a way to close thier budget shortfall. Their Supreme Court just reversed a decision and reinstated an $870M fine on Poker Stars that could bankrupt the company.

Kentucky was facing a $240M to $540M revenue shortfall in 2021.

I agree and it’s not worth the risk. We also don’t know if a booster shot 3 months later would be as effective as one a month later, so we could fuck it all up.

Buy the rumor, sell the news - comes through remarkably often.

Don’t sell now though that you’ve weathered the news.

Options expire 1/15, so we’ll see what happens. The stock I have I plan on holding. I think Moderna is well positioned to be first (or close) on vaccines each time a new threat emerges.

Basically did he have myocarditis or not.

Nothing is going to be 100% most likely.

But if he had an undetected congenital issue likely not covid. Myocarditis much more likely covid. If so was he screened adequately after a positive test.

Myocarditis is an absurdly tricky thing to diagnose. No one does the gold standard test (a biopsy of heart tissue) because it’s insanely invasive and rarely adds clinical value. The secondary markers used to see if someone has myocarditis (things like ultrasounds of the heart, troponin (a protein that is released into the blood), ekgs, etc) are all going to be confounded by what sounds like a cardiac arrest.

It won’t be cut and dry.

I’m confused, is that a MAGA idiot? Or is that liberal idiot? Or is it a perfect parody?

Not disagreeing. I’m assuming by the silence they can’t rule it out.

I’m really surprised some of these big (fat) linemen haven’t had problems. Gotta be some high sugar numbers going on.

The former Florida state hoops player that died in Europe I think they were able to confirm it was most likely covid related. Getting the tissue sample ain’t so invasive when the person is dead.

Murder.

So elevated troponin is possibly indicative, but not conclusive?

Yeah an elevated troponin just indicates damage to heart tissue. Since it sounds like he had a cardiac arrest, that can damage the heart tissue all on its own. Lots of stuff can cause damage to the heart.

Yeah it freaks me out a little that running a marathon seems to damage the heart to some degree.
