Yep, total retail sales at 3 pm on Friday were up 30% from 2020. Totally bleak...... https://www.cbsnews.com/news/black-friday-sales-record-high/ Of course, no surprise that you find it bleak, since Trump and Fox News is telling you 24/7 how badly the economy is running under Biden, no matter what the actual facts are.
I just read an article written by a college buddy, then heading to pre-med, I lost contact with many years ago. The article was written in April 2020. Apparently, he set up the HIV lab at Walter Reed many years ago. Fauci was there as was Birx. His complaint was that politics had found its way into medicine. That was early in the game. The evidence at that time based on Chinese studies was that the median time for the virus to run its course was 20+ days with an outlier in the study of 37 days. In the article, he complained that the 14 days was insufficient and must have been driven by politics ,,, which he wants nothing to do with. So, I probably won't reach out to him, LOL. Think about how our government has nixed all therapeutics ,,, and he was right. Therapeutics would save people who had the disease and COVID would have run its course the way other viruses do --- without the death toll..
