There's a section of this article which computes an average hourly wage of ~$40/hr as the expected return on an angel portfolio of $500k which takes 2,500 hours to assemble and earns a return of 20%. This seems to be missing the p

Most news articles I see focus solely on the number of vaccinated people when estimating how far away countries are from herd immunity, which seems odd to me. Left out in the discussion seem to be the unvaccinated but already infected. As f
