1. One more set of reasons for Canada to want an Elizabeth Warren presidency in my opinion. We could do lots of fairly organized business with such a US federal government, whether government-to-government or business-to-government. There would be certainty, stability, and rules everyone would understand and most would respect.

2. That came as a surprise. I don't imagine that any major movie studio would want a tentpole release to wash out due to an epidemic, though. Who else among the world's major studios - not just those headquartered in the USA - is considering similar measures and for which releases?

5. An interesting history lesson for this organized-crime watcher. (I blame all those comic books I've been reading over the decades.)

6. Good. This was long overdue.
