well, it's bound to happen and this being asymptomatic the 2nd time is a good indicator... but of course, it's just a sample of 1 "The second infection occurred more than four months later, reportedly after the man returned to Hong Kong from Spain, via the United Kingdom. The patient tested positive on Aug. 15 and was hospitalized but remains asymptomatic, according to the study. The second infection appears to be a slightly different virus strain from the initial one, the researchers said."

I wonder what companies are doing well during the shutdown ......cough cough. I hear Bezos is doing nicely. I'm just wondering out loud. I'm not saying he has an interest in keeping things locked down. But if there people who did have an interest in keeping things locked down, I wonder what would that list look like? My guess is the top 1%ers... Facebook, Amazon, Netflix, Twitter...

"American Airlines to Cut 19,000 Jobs by Oct. 1 When Federal Stimulus Ends": https://www.wsj.com/articles/american-airlines-to-cut-19-000-jobs-11598367869?mod=hp_lead_pos1 excerpt: American Airlines AAL -2.49% Group Inc. said it would shed 19,000 workers by Oct. 1 as the carrier prepares to downsize to cope with the coronavirus pandemic’s blow to travel demand, which isn’t expected to rebound for years. American’s cuts are less than the 25,000 potential job losses it warned were possible last month. But together with retirements and temporary leaves of absence, the reductions will make the carrier about 30% smaller than it was in March and are the clearest sign yet of the devastation coming for the airline industry as the summer travel season winds down and government funds run out. The reductions include 17,500 furloughs of pilots, flight attendants, mechanics and others, as well as 1,500 cuts from management and administrative ranks. They cover American Airlines itself as well as the two regional airlines it owns. “It was assumed that by Sept. 30, the virus would be under control and demand for air travel would have returned. That is obviously not the case,” American Chief Executive Doug Parker and President Robert Isom wrote in a message to employees Tuesday. American plans to fly less than half its typical schedule in the fourth quarter.
