US taxpayers spent $70,000,000 developing this drug. This is an absolute robbery."Gilead Sciences has set the price for its COVID-19 drug remdesivir. The company will sell the drug to the U.S. government and other developed nations for $390 per vial. Treatment typically lasts five days and requires six vials of the medicine, resulting in a total cost of $2,340, if you are on Medicaid or Medicare. If you are paying for the drug using private insurance, it's going to cost you a bit more. Gilead said the price for private hospitals will be $590 per vial, which would cost $3,120 for a six-vial treatment. A longer course of treatment could cost as much $4,290."

Actual cost and the charge for the product is out of our control.
The corporate grind and individual greed will dictate the market price.
My only intent was to make the point that things "cost". Most often even "FREE" cost someone something so that
the consumer thinks they got something cheap for nothing.
Don't shoot the messenger.
Things will be different when I become King.

So masks will be required in all indoor settings in the GTA-Hamilton region starting July 7th. I don't understand why we're waiting an entire week before we roll it out. They should just make it mandatory starting tomorrow.

The problem with digital music is that in order to decrease the file sizes some of the music is lost. So people that have only known digital music have been missing out on the quality of a CD and or even vinyl record.

I don't blame them. At least we can say we're number one. Number one in Covid and number one in failed response.

I've read that before too. I've never had a chance to hear a record player so I don't know. I remember a long time ago apple made a change to its music catalog and the sound quality got a lot better but they took a lot more space.

I was rocking one of these in the 70's. I'd go down the road on my skateboard with it cranked all the way up blaring The Scorpions. It sounded like crap and went through 4 D cell batteries in a day. Good times.
