How quickly does COVID immunity fade? What scientists know

"Three years into the pandemic, the immune systems of the vast majority of humans have learnt to recognize SARS-CoV-2 through vaccination, infection or, in many cases, both. But just how quickly do these types of immunity fade?"

nature.com

Nature - Vaccination, infection with SARS-CoV-2 infection and a combination of both provide varying degrees of protection against infection.

This is Adani's story, but how India responds to it will affect the trajectory for the India story. It is a chance for Indian institutions (government, regulators, banks, exchanges) to start fixing their legacy problems, but those fixes will not be easy. bit.ly/3HYiXiF

I think that the group has played fast-and-loose with listing rules, used intra-party transactions to make itself look more credit-worthy & worked its political connections, but if these comprise a con, it has lots of company in India. bit.ly/3HAaJvV

Here's what the deliveries trend looked like for all 3 companies if you graphically depict all 7 years of total global unit sales volume (rather than just the change from the oldest year shown to the most recent year). I wouldn't characterize Ford or GM sales as trending higher

Here's a 🧵 with a bunch of graphic visualizations and tables I made- some of which cannot be found elsewhere- comparing Ford, GM, and Tesla on headline metrics (deliveries, revenue, GAAP earnings, & profit per delivery) vs. the prior 6 years. I chart, you decide. $TSLA $F $GM

Hey, Doug, the $22B increase you're referencing was *top line sales* year-over-year, not *bottom line earnings*. That amount is less than GM or even Tesla increased their sales by YOY ($30B and $28B, respectively). See chart for prior years' context as well: $F $GM $TSLA

U.S. has downed Chinese spy balloon off the Carolina coast and will attempt to recover debris

I’m no student of balloons, but I’m having a hard time coming up w many missions where a spy balloon could do a better job than a satellite. Perhaps China’s satellites aren’t all that?

How much of a threat are Chinese spy balloons?

The real impact of the balloon — less of a serious surveillance threat but more of an audacious diplomatic blunder by Beijing at a critical moment in the US-China conflict. The latest in a litany of Xi’s miscalculations.

China rushes to cap damage over suspected spy balloon as Blinken delays trip

Yes, this is a setback to bilateral ties, but visits can always be rescheduled. Beijing should worry more about long-term damage to Americans’ views of China as their primary threat. Polling was already very bad, and now they can *see* China spying on them.

The incident is a setback to recent Chinese efforts to repair relations with the United States and revive its economy.
