That’s fine with me. I guess you know more about compassionate use.

I honestly don’t know. But, I do know that one particular country’s insurance model has no impact to the people in this country. Eventually someone is paying those hospital bills. And I didn’t even mention the nearly 40% of the population that’s underinsured.

Why we need a better healthcare system... Just think, about 10% of the country right now are uninsured. If even 20% of this population require hospitalization, how are those bills going to be paid for?

I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone cleaning any part of a supercharger.

Sounds like you already made up your mind. Just do what you say, and let’s see how things are in a week.

Edit: I won’t feed it more

Question for all the cup half-full people: What possibly positive imminent news regarding the virus is out there to warrant a rebound of the sentiment/market in the very near future? not asking for hopes and dreams, but tangible news that could turn the macros around

Taking a devil’s advocate position. It’s possible that some of those signers might be factory line workers who are living with at-risk family members? Can’t assume that every worker is gung-ho about pumping out cars at the moment when all their other friends and family are in shelter mode.

Shoot, not too surprised this executed already. Now have a buy order set at $290. We could get there by beginning of next week. Quite a few here disagreed with me when I posted in the past couple weeks that holding through til Monday was a bad idea. Let’s see if I can make it a hat trick. Too...

Don’t just take the numbers at face value. A lot of factors and assumptions that go into the numbers you see.

Not even a week ago.

5.7-magnitude earthquake shakes Salt Lake County, Utah Anyone here lives in Utah? As if the virus matter isn’t enough, they just had a large earthquake with almost a dozen aftershocks in the high 3.x. If an earthquake was to hit CA right now, maybe time to start learning to live like the...

Source? Or dream?

Ive responded to one of your similar posts previously. I don’t think you understood. So, let me ask you, what is a common sense situation look like that you refer to? 2-3 weeks is the very minimum. The shutdown doesn’t work when not everyone buys in. There’s a large population in America that...

Not saying you’re wrong, but that is the same for pretty much every single possible medical condition out there.

I’ve learned in the past to take every comment on here with kilograms of salt. Just do whatever makes you feel comfortable. Even if it’s panic selling or buying. In the end, it’s your money. Full disclosure, I’ve liquidated all TLSA except 25 shares from the high $1xx. People here have...

Formal Remdesivir trials are just starting. It will be a long while to get meaningful results from them. However, there are reports of compassionate use cases out there in the wild. For example, three from a group of twelve earlier COVID-19 patients in the US were given Remdesivir. They all...

As some here know, there’s this minor thing called the Hippocratic oath and EMTALA. Maybe in national emergencies like now, there would some kind of waiver that dumb sacks are forced to sign eliminating their rights if caught willingly ignoring safety orders for pleasure at the community’s...

Stop exaggerating like a child.

Just testing does not solve everything. Testing just shows whether an individual shows a viral load at that particular time the test was conducted. And a negative test is not a vaccine. You need to be able to quarantine the positives and isolate all other sick people during testing. You don’t...

Let’s say that person is allowed to go on as usual with life and goes back to work, then gets sick from the community. If this person is one of the unlucky 20% to require hospitalization, besides even getting other people possibly sick (since the R0>2 right now), the overall expenditure will be...

Increasing frequency of testing is just a matter of relaxing the testing guidelines, which will be reduced as more tests are available. But as you mentioned, speed to result is equally, if not more, important. It’s easier to mass produce tests, not as quick to run the tests at anywhere remotely...

Food delivery is what I miss about visiting Asian countries, at least the more developed ones. Food delivered within 1 hr at the latest from anywhere, no fee for delivery, no tip custom.....and it doesn’t bankrupt the restaurants.

I’m glad you still sound cool-headed because I don’t think I’d be able to at that point. But, maybe that’s not much relative to your overall portfolio value. What a journey Tesla has been on since the ~$200 days years ago.

You guys finally convinced me to buy. Let’s see if we can get a few at $370 today. If not today then likely tomorrow. Condolences to those that bought on the way down a week or two ago.

Here’s a response, which has been liked by quite a few (and scolded by quite a few), to the shut down from a neighbor somewhere on NextDoor: This is really getting scary. Apparently people are lemmings and will give up all freedoms for a tenuous security. The overreach will never end just like...

We’re hearing talk of millions of tests coming out as we speak right now over the week. I’ll believe it when I actually hear from the resp clinic. Besides the test kits being made, I don’t believe the capacity to run the tests are there yet. It takes longer to run the tests than manufacture...

Seriously. Most people, especially those on the coasts have no idea what the middle of America earns annually.

Not sure which employees he’s referring to when he says they can feel free and stay at home at their own choice because that’s not the case with the factory. Maybe he’s talking about the Palo Alto HQ staff.

Better yet, sneeze into your shirt or jacket if possible. It might be gross, but it’s a lot more effective with not spreading it in the air.

There’s so many trials of different vaccines going on around the world. So, let’s be a little more specific than broadly just saying things in general since every trial has different inclusion criteria and procedural criteria of getting it approved in their respective countries. One specific...

Cant see the link anymore. Anyways. Considering that Tesla was one of few remaining big name companies in greater Silicon Valley area to not have announced a WFH, and the fact that Tesla keeps a very strict work attendance policy at the factory, I wouldn’t doubt Elon keeps the factory open as...

Call me a pessimist, whatever, don’t care. Regardless of whether things are priced in, this is all moving with sentiment and panic. That’s what matters right now IMO. But what possible news is out there in the next week to reverse the market sentiment? Serious question. The only sure thing in...

it’s pretty much the same restrictions in all surrounding counties, including city of Berkeley. Apparently it will be a misdemeanor in SF if you disobey the restrictions.

Of course, I stopped seeing my parents since last week even and I’m in CA. I was more thinking about scenario of seeing siblings/cousins.

Not sure about other areas, but the around me the permit office have already been limiting inspections to only non-occupied buildings until mid-April. That was before today’s announcement. Just called the office because of one project, and they are on hold to see if anything from the...

Just keep in mind, these loss calculation exercises are in the best case scenario that shutdowns aren’t extended beyond 3 weeks. (I guess there’s a sliver of chance that it could also end before the announced 3 weeks.)

I read that people in France can’t even go to see family living separately. Depending on how you’re trading, take it as an exit opportunity IMO.

We got a lot of naysayers here even just a few days. If this shutdown doesn’t wake up those people, not sure what would. Maybe someone in their close circle being hospitalized or the police telling them not to leave their home? Because both are potential outcomes in the near future if people...

Not insane. It’s the logical thing to do right now. Should’ve done it sooner instead of taking baby steps and letting it spread more. Either do it, or don’t, IMO.

Exactly. As of yesterday, the hospitals conducting tests around me had throughput of much less than 100 tests a day.

bolded by me Politely, No. That is all wrong. Please don’t go telling that to people outside of TMC. This is a test of whether you carry the SARS-COV-2 virus. It is not a vaccine for the virus. A negative test means there is a chance you might get infected tomorrow. And just because you test...

Some really big assumptions. What exactly makes you so sure that this whole virus thing will be over in 3-6 months? How far has the US modeled the 2 different styles of coordinated responses by the Chinese or Korean central governments? (Hint: nowhere remotely close to what they have done)...

Agree that confirmed case will get worse. Disagree that panic is at its max. There’s still a lot of people who haven’t completely recognized the severity of the situation. I see it everyday online, including on Nextdoor in my neighborhood, who are still adamant that the regular flu is worse...

I might have to stay off of the net this week. Every time I look at my NextDoor, I cant help but get frustrated. Not good for my health and should be spending time more with kids. I cannot tell you how many people are still out there shouting overreaction using the usual, stupid graphics and...

San Francisco has banned ALL visitors—including family members—from visiting patients in all hospitals throughout the city. Only exception is for 1 registered partner or family member for an expected mother. Although, this brings up the topic of what happened in UK, where a second known case of...

It’s not possible to draw a correlation between the markets and virus cases. If anything, the peak on Feb 4 could have been because they locked down all nearby regions on January 23. The US is nowhere near locking down any large metropolitan at this half hearted rate we’re going on of voluntary...

Amazingly, the Dow is only about 20% off the recent high. During the recession, the bottom was 50% off the high. Last week, we were at about 600 confirmed cases. Today, we are over 3,000. The models show we will be over 20,000 next week. This is only going to get worse. A lot of the closures...

Don’t know all the why’s and how’s, but last time we got the expected 1/2% reduction, the markets tanked.
