One can only freaking hope!!! But I don’t think so, sadly. Maybe 2023, but at this point I think it’s a false alarm. Something’s gotta give though.

It is definitely coming, thinking Q4/Q1 2023. Covid for me wasn’t a false alarm, I was slammed on two huge filings. But have been very quiet for 9 months.

I think there are going to be a couple of filings due to liquidity issues. But didn’t most maturity dates pretty much get pushed back to 2027 with the refinancing last year?

here's my prediction.

If Biden wins, the media will begin to message the following;

-The worst COVID risks and outcomes are to people with identifiable risk factors such as obesity and diabetes.

-Most other people who catch it will experience a bad flu.

-Many other people who catch it won't even know they have it.

-It's not commonly transmitted by touching objects and person to person transmittal is low risk except in close contact.

The media will then message that we should;

Just had my NIPT/Nuchal Translucency at 12w4d IVF pregnancy and the sonographer said everything looks fine but she wants me to come back in 5 weeks and then again a month later to do the scans again so she can get a clearer picture. She said baby is measuring slightly lower than it should, but it could be that doctors were a few days off on due date (is that a thing with IVF??). She also referred me to get a fetal echo at 20 weeks. Is this normal? I called OB, waiting for her to call me back.
