Reuters: Exclusive: As coronavirus spreads, U.S. military to withhold some infection data
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military has decided it will stop providing some of the more granular data about coronavirus infections within its ranks out of concern that the information might be used by adversaries as the virus spreads.
U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper outlined the plan in an interview with Reuters, saying that he wanted the military to keep providing broader data about infections in the armed forces, which rose by 30 percent to 227 cases on Wednesday.
But Esper, a former Army secretary, said he wanted some of the more mission-specific information to be withheld to prevent compromising operational security.
“What we want to do is give you aggregated numbers. But we’re not going to disaggregate numbers because it could reveal information about where we may be affected at a higher rate than maybe some other places,” Esper said, without disclosing precisely what information would be withheld or when the plan would be implemented.

Corona virus account for 10% to 15% of colds. An adult average 4 to 6 colds per year. There is no vaccine. Can the US Army stop the common cold? Can any army stop the common cold?
Well 12:51 can you answer those questions.
You really amaze me 12:51 who worked at a secret intel based that we never heard of. That might be true. It is also true they never let you so much as look at the coffee make much less fix the coffee. That is one of the jobs of the lower ranks and I bet that there was standing order that you not touch or look at the coffee maker.
Don't be sad though. You are my favorite charity case.
Dang man. The bureaucrats in the goobermint cannot get their facts straight. Right hand does not know what the left hand is doing.
There are those out there that say if the president does not follow the experts advice to the T, then he is Bad Man Orange Which exports should he listen to?
On average, adults get 4 to 6 colds per year, while children get 6 to 8 of them.

Adults have an average of 2-3 colds per year, and children have even more.

Those estimates differ by a factor of 2, which is close enough for government work.
Remember little libbies 'Orange Man bad'. That is all you need to know. You have no need for a mind of your own.

Bonanza for Rich Real Estate Investors, Tucked Into Stimulus Package

"Bonanza for Rich Real Estate Investors, Tucked Into Stimulus Package"
Breathless NYT & MSN.com (Did they consult that genius Mara Gay?)
"would permit wealthy investors to use losses generated by real estate to minimize their taxes on profits from things like investments in the stock market. " - MSN.com
Is that a bad thing? I don't know, if it is good or bad. I'll have to give it some thought.
"You can use capital losses (stock losses) to offset capital gains during a taxable year,"
I am tending to think this is a fair idea, because of:
"Although the sale of any asset you own can create a capital gain or loss, for tax purposes, realized capital losses are used to reduce your tax bill only if the asset sold was owned for investment purposes.1 Stocks fall within this definition, but not all assets do. For example, if you sell a coin collection for less than what you paid for it, that does not create a deductible capital loss (irritating, since if you sell the collection for a profit, the profit is taxable income).: Investooedia
1) A flat tax without any deductions would eliminate this, but Liberals say we cannot go there.
2) Why are you "stove piping" different asset classes or investments?
3) Lot easier to engage in log rolling and stuffing items into a bill, if Democrat add 1,000 pages. It doubles the size of the haystack.
I would rather all bills be clean, but that hasn't happened in what? A hundred years or more?
