🇺🇸USA: COVID and other infectious disease tracking is limited by the government shutdown.
Available data suggest COVID spread is low to moderate, but wastewater shows rising cases in the Northeast and Midwest.
Flu, RSV, and bird flu are also increasing.https://t.co/pPtt6dNgRe pic.twitter.com/XXePAdxi4X

So, we may be on the verge of a new pandemic, but this time it’s bird flu. Everyone remembers the COVID pandemic. We’re using $Nvax stock as an example, by looking at the stock chart, we see a kind of indicator of cataclysmic fluctuations. There are many examples in history. pic.twitter.com/cVX93OfEub

New Not-So-Cold War
Scott Bessent’s Damaging Remarks Puts More Distance between Washington and Moscow Larry Johnson. We have said from the outset that Bessent was an idiot. His hedge fund was microscopically small despite his Soros connection, which should have been an enormous marketing aid had he been any good. So he’s neither managed anything of size nor been a competent investor. His claims re his role in Soros short of the pound have always seemed exaggerated. Soros is hands-on, particularly with large bets. I suspect at most that Bessent executed trades or did some research. Admittedly John Helmer has depicted Kirill Dmitriev as a blowhard and a relentless self-promoter, but that does not make him wrong on the specific remarks that Bessent derided.
