Listen to The Dude.
I had a bit longer post in mind, but then I got sidetracked. You all know how it is! So just a great finding with my summary and some tweets, things of interest.
Walgreens has the data!
Ok, it’s not going to be my fault, no one reads this site anyway, but I would bet $250 that the Walgreens weekly testing report gets yanked by this weekend after the big names start using it. I got the tip via Josh Stevenson and so I say thanks sir!
I always wondered why US data did not look like Iceland’s, The UK’s, and Israel data. They report raw data, no models, no “adjustments”. Welp, now it looks the same as far as infection data.
There is no, zero, nada, zilch, no mas por favor advantage to getting vaccinated as far as Sars2 infection goes. You can make a certain case as well, but it’s beyond this post to get into that.
This is what I put together from the Walgreens Site:
There is a lot here, so I just let the reader take a look for a bit. Can discuss later. Yes, yes, confounders, yada yada yada. This is just who walks in for a test. Nothing else. Keep in mind I agree, vaxxed and boosted paranoid freaks will test more, but unvaxxed usually have to test at least weekly to go to work, I say it all is a wash and we can use the numbers as is.
Keep testing folks! Otherwise we may not know there is a crisis!

The Fly with an EPIC Rant
I mean, this belongs in a Museum, for all time. The Fly is a great trader and he’s been awesome since I started reading him around 2007. Through all things financial he’s been a rock and also chimes in on social issues. It’s magnificent (NSFW!!!):
My, it’s art.
Say the words
Our weekly check of the fully vaxxed doing recruiting tours.

Attack rate of 100% in her family, but we must press on:
Look, my best advice is if your state has a good covid data dashboard, you can break down hospitalizations and deaths by age, which you can then match to vax rates. So before we do the “but the vaccine always were meant to lower risk, not stop spread!” dance, you better have done your homework. In Massachusetts I have. Did you? Hint: it follows pretty close.
Masks don’t work but here they come….
At least the masks in this 80’s cartoon had cool special powers.
Masks by county in Omicron wave. See the big difference?

The city of Philadelphia is going back to indoor masks, due to a surge. Can you see it?
Inflation
Everyone gets inflation defined is that stuff costs more. In a fiat money system here is how to think about that will piss you off.
I have $10,000 in the bank. Bears little interest.
The next month I have $9800
6 months later I have $9000
Who stole my money!!!!
Better way to think about it.
The Vegetable is lost at this point:
In fact, they want to make it worse. These people are messed up:
