@admins should this resolve?

This looks pretty much sealed

Looks Like Moderna is likely to have an efficacy close to Pfizer's, according to Fauci. Faucci says he is surprised that pfizer's vaccine is close to 95% efficacy!

On moderna, he adds “I would really be surprised if we did not see a high degree of efficacy,” Fauci said. “You know it may not be 95%, it might be 90 or 96 or 89, but it’s going to be up there. I’m fairly certain it’s going to be up there.”

@Jgalt I think he will eventually re-list the company given the various investors involved.

I would be interested in this question.

This city seems sort of like the deciding factor in the war given that the president is staying there and all, but with only 20 days to go, more sanctions against Russia, more support and resources for Ukraine to fight on, more time to mobilize, all the statistics about how long modern sieges take, that a successful fall would inflict massive civilian and soldier casualties, that it seems better to capture the smaller cities first, that there may be delays for negotiation talks or ceasefires for civilians to flee, I'm sticking with a pretty low probabili...

The Moderna CEO just confirmed that 15k will receive the vaccine candidate in phase 3 which is expected to start "sometime" in July.

https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/05/world/europe/ukraine-refugee-war-return.html “The statistics have changed a lot recently,” Yurii Buchko, the deputy military administrator for Lviv, said in an interview. “In the beginning of the war 10 times the number of people left as those who returned.” Now, he said, on some days half of those crossing the border in Lviv Province were returning home rather than leaving. The returnees are largely women and children. Most Ukrainian men of military age with fewer than three children were banned from leaving the coun...

Is this 4-day trial final? I assume there will be many appeals, but not sure

Meant to post this q here. Does anyone know how these 4-day initial trials go? I assume there will be a lot of appeals, but not sure.

Found an interesting comment on the reddit account:

5 years ago Mohammad Karim, who is believed to be in his sixties, was arrested after marrying the girl. He has told officials that he had been given the girl as a “religious offering” by her parents, Agence France-Presse reports.
