ZBH +8% despite yesterday’s dour guidance (#msg-154839261). Investors like to be kept in the loop.

The hospital capacity in CA hasn't been stressed or even close to that even in "hot spots" like SF. Confirmed infection rate in my county is < 0.1% with people still roaming around (mostly exercising or the young hanging out). Average age of those dying > 70. IMO elective procedures roar back for the active crowd < 70. Those afraid of catching Covid and satisfied with reduced QoL will live with disability and continue path towards worse health - or not?
