No you shouldn't feel bad at all... and I'm telling myself that as much as you!

Is it wrong to have Blinding Lights blasting out in the background while trying to degest all this news?!

I have to be honest the news that Sadio Mane has got Covid is affecting me more than Trump having it.

In a word, no. If the market is morally suspect now, it's been for months. Any other candidate available in this market was always only an option in case of severe illness or death befalling one of the two main candidates, so it's no more or less moral now than a month ago. Which begs the question that everyone on here is wondering...why the suspended state??? All that's happening now is part of what's been available to trade for these past months.

Yep it always stuck me that vp/ vp candidates etc step up in case of death. So many VPs have had to step up in the brief life of this experimental republic.

I'd be surprised if they're taking him into hospital for tests. They said on Sky yesterday he has the very best medical care and everything will be brought to him unless it's really necessary.
