Report: NBA expects to need about 15,000 coronavirus tests to restart season amid pandemic (Can’t figure out why I can’t copy article from Yahoo! App) Silver says they won’t bid on 15k tests if there continues to be a shortage nationwide. But if enough tests are produced for the country, then there could be a path to the playoffs in Vegas or Orlando.

Taking Vitamin D is a good idea even when not in this COVID-19 environment. I read the same, but then I read about what is going on in Ecuador, I pause to make the connection. There is so much about this virus that we don’t know, and won’t know, until we get more data. For example, when this broke out, there was a great fear for asthmatics (I’m one). Then the NYT reports (mid April) that only 5% of NY’s COVID’s fatal cases had asthma.

There could soon be a disruption to US production of beer and soda. Producers need CO2 for carbonation. 34 of 45 ethanol plants that sell CO2 have lowered production. -

It sounds like if you can get one, it really is a lifeline. My friend described it as about 80% would be forgiven if you prove it was used for payroll, rent, that kind of thing. And the remaining 20% had favorable terms of a low interest rate and a long payback period. **the 80/20 split is from math in my head after a few beers in the night. So it’s not exactly this, but pretty close. -

Once there is a handle on this pandemic and people start assessing this act, there are going to be so many stories of fraud, waste, and abuse. I don’t have a small business, so I haven’t really paid attention, but I have a friend who runs a nonprofit who couldn’t get his application processed. He said that there were no safeguards in place to prevent forgery of payroll records. The banks pretty much said, if you want us to get the money out quickly, then we can’t perform due diligence on the recipients. -
