The disease, for which no effective treatment was ever developed, killed as many as 30% of those infected. Between 65–80% of survivors were marked with deep pitted scars (pockmarks), most prominent on the face.
Travis per the Market Ticker this seven day period applies to checking accounts. That is what makes this so ...strange.

In 1992 Soviet defector Ken Alibek confirmed that the Soviet bioweapons program at Zagorsk had produced a large stockpile—as much as twenty tons—of weaponized smallpox (possibly engineered to resist vaccines), along with refrigerated warheads to deliver it. It is not known whether these stockpiles still exist in Russia.
With the breakup of the Soviet Union and unemployment of many of the weapons program's scientists, there is concern that smallpox and the expertise to weaponize it may have become available to other governments or terrorist groups who might wish to use virus as means of biological warfare.

That workforce participation is an interesting graph. Down now from a high of around 65 percent to 58 percent. Interesting to see that the workforce as a percent of the population is still higher now than it was in the 60s.
It would seem that much of the gains of the 70’s and 80’s and 90’s were all built on the backs of eating seed corn.
I have a product I rep from a Chinese vendor... believe me... they want us to turn this around as much as we do. They are tied to us hip and anchor.
“Only Yesterday” was used as a Textbook in a classs I took in College. An excellent book!
He didn't say "10,000,000".
He said "integer multiple of 10,000,000".
That's 20 million ... 30 million ... 40 million ...
Many of them will not be "the elderly".
Yup...
And even these numbers may be a cheerful understatement
All those people who are trying to stay thin
may have to restate their survival strategy
Best place to store energy is within yourself...

Good point, just what will happen when the welfare checks stop? I think this is part of the obama plan to use the dependants of Washington as a tool.
I wonder if anyone has a graph that has the debt plus capitalised obligations of the US govvt as a % of the GDP. I believe we would be well in excess of the WW II peak.
The welfare checks may not stop at all.
They will hyperinflate simply by keeping all of the entitlement slaves’ “welfare cards” topped off with fresh electronic digits.
