| #11 are you sure delta =/= Wuhan beta? Funny you should mention that. A pandemic - induced or natural - would provide an excellent opportunity for running live bio-weapons tests. "It is just a variant..." Over in another thread... China Plans to Dump 2 Billion Doses of Its Low-Quality Coronavirus Vaccines on the World |

| #10 Unless they seriously fucked with the RNA (which I don't think we are knowledgeable enough yet), it should follow the same path even if "modified". |

| #9 Anakin, what you said applies to natural viruses - are you sure delta =/= Wuhan beta? |

| #8 So the Delta spreads faster, but is less deadly? Most viruses trend that way. Much more infectious, but less severe symptoms and less deadly. They want to spread using you, not kill you. |

| #7 Arkansas cases are higher than ever, but deaths remain about one-third of the number in January. So the Delta spreads faster, but is less deadly? |

| #6 I would expect pharma stocks to be up. They just produced a life-saving if somewhat untested vaccine. As for the Arkansas hospital, seems to me they are less overwhelmed with Covid patients and more underwhelmed with nurses. Can this shortage of personnel be attributed to the nurses not wanting to get jabbed? |

| #4 No, morbid would be: "Shares in funeral-services related stocks are skyrocketing!". |
