Since we're all commenting on the price display, I'd be really curious about my own behavior if it was not visible on the gallery view. (I really want to find a less expensive one that I like)

I don't have any insight into the why. Only that the growth rate in tests per day has slowed to an almost stagnant level.

This would be HUGE. Not only has the testing capacity in America been maxed out, but the % of positive results has been more than 20% and trending upward. In order to quarantine effectively (read: end the shut down) we need to test the fam

Yet it's also common for PE to take a perfectly fine business, lever it up in pursuit of higher returns, and watch it shrivel under the debt load. That risk may be fine for PE investors, but there are a lot of industries where the &quo

The only way to restart normal life is with a combination of massive scale testing and contact tracing. Someone in charge needs to be working on this right now, but all we hear from the White House is denial and false hope. The markets are

Maybe I don't understand. The number of confirmed cases is going up exponentially in all of the warm locations you mention. This is in spite of a lack of testing. How is that evidence of R < 1?

I hope GCP/AWS add a max spend ability. Until then it's complexity of pricing model vs time spent on OS and database management. To each their own.
