Courtesy of ZeroHedge View original post here.

A regurgitated stimulus narrative,"surprising" rebounds from the depths of hell for some macro data (retail sales, yay! industrial production, boo!), and a press-release study showing a cheap steroid as a 'miracle cure' for COVID were enough to trump soaring COVID case counts in several US states, Beijing locking down 7 regions and shutting all schools, North Korea literally blowing up relations with South Korea, and China and India tensions escalating dramatically.

Why don't we just send the dextramethasone to China – "You're cured mate!"
