Ohio has the Cleveland Clinic and University Hospitals which are some of the best hospitals in the country, if not the world. Social distancing and shelter in place has been extremely effective here. A nurse that I know said the hospital he

this is highly anecdotal, but my family is from a small town in italy, population of ~1500, and the men are way less healthy from a lifestyle perspective - lots of drinking, smoking, hard manual labor without lung protection, etc etc, while

I'm guessing the Robinhood "infinite money cheat" had a big impact here. Even if only a few thousand people built up crazily leveraged positions it could cause a tumble like this. The pattern makes sense to me, robinhood reca

There's no interview necessary. If the plane comes from an country of interest it doesn't matter if it's connecting or not. I disagree that it's not a strong action

I'm definitely not interested in micromanaging, I just want to have some way to measure the effectiveness of the program. Certifications makes a whole lot of sense, because there's a required exam.
