kristen it's mind blowing. i actually went back and looked at the san francisco chronicle from march. 16th 2020 just said, put myself back in those shoes, and at that time there were a little over 4000 reported cases the united states with under 90 kn 90 deaths. and now wherever 100 million cases of over a meal, cleon debts and it's just it's mind blowing to see that and you know, march 16 2020 is also when the vaccine trials were underway , so there is some optimism. there's some optimism there as well to see what can truly happen with the science when we all work together towards a common goal, right? i mean, there's a lot that we understand now. but what still confounds you that you wish we had more clarity on is it long covid, is it? the booster regimen. like what? the origin. what is it? that still keeps you up at night? the two things that really keep me up at night. kristin is long covid and how many undetermined people are suffering from this condition that has 200 documented symptoms associated with it

we'll bring in kristen bitterly, how do you boil this together, in terms of what an investor ought to be thinking about with regard to the fed, how much it matters what they do and what they say >> so i'm in agreement that in terms of what the fed, there's a difference between what the fed is going to do and what they should do. what they're going to, we're in the camp that they will do 25 beyance, that they will stay the course, our outlook for 2023 was not to fight the fed that the idea of the cumulative tightening was going to have an impact on corporate earnings, we're calling for a 10% earnings contraction and see it in the economy, and i think we're seeing it in very idiosyncratic fashion and everyone trying to explain it away as if it is idiosyncratic but the truth is it throws through to the economy and the corporations and the consumer >> what does the don't fight the fed maxim have to say about the moment when the fed has convincingly backstopped the financial system and then stopped raising rates? are we still not fighting what the fed has done over the last year or is it t
