There is an overwhelming amount of information out there about Covid-19, more than anyone can read. Bill Gates wrote in his Gates Notes a post he calls “The first modern pandemic“.

The How We Feel app is gaining momentum. The number of people using it has more than doubled in ten days. Just 4.4% of people are not feeling well.

If you don’t have the app yet, get it here for Apple or here for Android.
As of mid-afternoon Friday, Tesla market capitalization is up $20 billion to $142 billion. The five giant tech company market caps climbed another couple of hundred billion for the week. Quite a bit higher than at the end of February. All five companies are global, but to put their massive valuation into perspective, it now represents 20% of the market cap of the U.S. S&P 500. Shareholders are happy but government regulators and politicians are gearing up for new regulations. I believe pressure on big tech will continue to mount.
