Coronavirus

Just heard a second family friend, his wife, and kids all tested positive. Pretty insane when it hits so close to home.

We all should realize that the whole sale move of most industries, including pharma, from Puerto Rico to China was the expiration of a US tax law that provided corporations big Federal Income tax incentives to manufacture in PR. I spent many days down there transferring the manufacture of some of my products.

This one was a self-induced wound...

There’s still around 56 or so medical device manufacturers and pharma companies operating down there. My sales got hammered when hurricane Maria hit. It was so bad they have since opened a new manufacturing plant in DR. Both are still operating.

I remember hospitals were rationing saline on a daily basis. One of the largest sterile saline stills is located on PR.

When this is eventually over, we need to bring back from China all aspects of the Pharmaceutical Manufacturing Industry. That Government cannot be trusted.

You know i was thinking the same thing a few weeks ago. I went down to pick up one of my prescriptions and when i checked it out the pills were CUBES. Square cubes !! (i always check my scrips. out before taking receipt of them) Yeah CUBES i asked the pharmacist who the hell takes square pills ? he just chuckled and said " new manufacture". Long story short, i took my prescription to another drug store and had it filled with something i could swallow.

We're still down there and in the DR too, but few new projects got moved down once the Caribbean Tax Initiative Law expired. I loved going to visit our onsite Co-Generation plant. The head engineer was an Italian chief ship engineer because the generator was a HUGE cruise ship engine. The engineer was so proud of his facility, just a proud Papa willing to show anyone his Bambina and that was one heck of a beautiful facility; he had every right to be proud.

That tax law's expiration, along with crazy FDA regs on IVDs, started our company shifting production to Ireland. I'm not sure how much my old co sent over to China after I retired. I don't know of anything, but I do know many key compounds and components needed for mfg do come from China, just like virtually EVERY industry.

Thank goodness for Anthony Fauci. In an interview with a reporter he was asked what wants to do when 45 makes a scientific faux pas...

“I can’t jump in front of the microphone and push him down,” Dr. Fauci said. “OK, he said it. Let’s try and get it corrected for the next time.”

It should be noted that Tony has advised every president since Reagan...

Da wife and me may need stay here in s Florida for another month, instead of lower Manhattan, whatcha think, is it that bad... cellie... ?

No question if you are in a house, or condo I would stay. Wife & I were in an RV park, & came home because we decided if we got sick best place to be was in our house, not an RV.

NYC is the epicenter. Half the nation's cases are there. Those manhattanites that have houses in eastern LI already went out there, ordered a thousand freezers from the Riverhead P.C.Richards and wiped the grocery stores clean.

It was disconcerting when first Dr Birx and then Dr Fauci missed a couple of the daily briefings. Both are back.

Suffolk county should open deer season now... cellie...

Only If you want to perform abortions on them... Harder to distinguish bucks from does now.

Prince Charles tested positive. This virus doesn’t discriminate. That’s for sure.

People like him - including politicians - are probably more susceptible due to their public presence.

I've been trying to google this with no luck - maybe too early (?) - does anyone now if these "stimulus checks" we're all supposed to be getting will be considered taxable income?

Unemployment insurance is. I also wondered whether they would offset any refund due next year with it.

The proposal currently calls for giving that money as a credit against your taxes.

“So this wouldn’t be taxable, because it’s your own money back essentially,” said Jeffrey Levine, director of advanced planning at Buckingham Strategic Wealth in Long Island, New York.
