> Why would Floridas numbers start to decrease if not for herd immunity? We know they aren’t being more careful. Disney land reopened and there is a police sheriff who literally made a rule that police officers and people going into the station were not allowed to wear masks.
This is idiotic. Rather than “herd immunity” one could, in fact, be seeing the impact of large numbers of people having been scared straight simply avoiding further contact.
The author’s conjecture could be correct but they offer no proof.

Ask HN: What would you replace the H1-B program with?
Whatever your feelings about Trump's suspension of H1-B admissions you've got to believe that America can do better than the H1-B program. What would you replace it with?

Ask HN: Have you used a holding company, trust, or LLP to manage investments?
Have you, as part of a start-up exit, or for some other reason - had to use a holding company, trust, LLP or other legal structure to hold/manage an investment? Was it expensive? How do you manage it month to month and year to year?
Ask HN: How do you manage “non-bankable” investments like private company stock?
I'm curious, how do people here manage their "non-bankable" investments, like equity they've earned or purchased in startups or other private companies?How do you handle tax reporting? Have you tried borrowing against your equity, or selling it on Secondmarket?
