Things are fine. Thank you Chris and Louis.

What happened was that in mid September I was running a fever and then I had no energy. A 300 foot walk to the mailbox would tire me out. Had a Covid test but it was negative. After a week of this without improvement I went to the ER. They discovered that I had lost half of my hemoglobin count (normal is around 14, mine was seven). On top of that they found after doing an endoscopy that I had a stomach ulcer and Lyme to boot. Had three blood transfusions and am now on meds for the stomach. It took a while but I’m feeling fine now. Tomorrow is a follow up to see if the stomach has healed. Hopefully it had.

Brad:

One of the best things about this forum is that I’ve made friends with many people who I might never have the chance to meet in person. I count you among those friends.

At the same time when something happens to one of those friends I feel all but helpless as all I have to convey my feelings and support is a keyboard.

With all of that being said I wish you nothing but the best, with the hope the all turns out well.

Please keep us posted.

-Jason
 
Very best of luck Brad

All the best and stay safe

Martyn and Marie
 
Brad! Just saw that You have had medical issues. I wish the very Best for You, and a very good Prognosis!
 
Thank you Jason, Martyn and Bill and everybody else. I had the procedure this morning and the Dr. said everything looks good and I’m in the mend so that was good news indeed.

Thanks again for all your kind thoughts.

Brad, glad to hear it went well!
 
Pfizer announced today that it’s vaccine appears to be 90% effective, beyond what scientists had hoped for. Protection from the virus would be achieved 28 days after initial vaccination.

Based on the news stock futures jumped 1,200 points (which prior to the announcement had risen somewhat based on the results of the US election).

Early results do not prove the vaccine is safe and effective and the 90% could change as more results become known but this is a great first step.

That is great news. The first thing that should be done is to fire that numbskull from the CDC who said wearing a mask was more effective than a vaccine. A completely false claim. Anyone can see from the current rising case numbers that wearing a mask is less effective. The "scientists" made this a political issue. They didn't like the criticism that they blew the response to the virus and organizations like the WHO had their slush fund threatened. A lethal combination of arrogance and incompetence.
 
I own one heath stock...
UNH...
it's jumped almost 70 points in the last week...

I wonder if this announcement would have many any difference in the election if it were a week earlier...

I'm amending this statement...
23 of those points are in today's pre market trading...
it may go down at open...

but I hope not...^&grin
