They had commitments for the purchase of hundreds of millions of doses. No risk.
I am done with this discussion.
Look, when you calm down, go look up and see how they did with the mRNA vaccine for SARS and MERS. They sank hundreds of millions down the drain. When the diseases started to recede on their own, the money dried up. That's just the way it goes in pharmacological R&D. Some you hit. Some you don't. There are no guarantees, if you miss, contrary to what you seem to think. The non-mRNA vaccines will probably just die away as the others get the upper hand in the battle. Those companies will take a bath. In this case, by a vast stroke of luck, the basic research done on SARS COV1 was applicable and gave a head start for covid19. In a sense, they're recouping the losses they suffered earlier...

Opinion | Panicking About That Jobs Report? Breathe. Look at the Data. (Published 2021)
Federal unemployment benefits are an unlikely reason for the underwhelming April jobs numbers.
I went off unemployment due to making more than $999.99 in one week for 3 weeks. I spent the last 2 days at home with nothing to do. I got called back in today for maybe 2 days of work. Does anyone consider me employed?
Georgia may end extra unemployment payments, like other GOP-led states
Officials here are likely to slash jobless benefits, putting Georgia in line with some other Republican-led states that are canceling the extra $300 in weekly payments that millions of Americans receive on top of their unemployment checks during the pandemic.

now that folks aren't held hostage by that unemployment payment, they can get back to work

Governor confirms Georgia to end $300 jobless checks tied to COVID relief
Gov. Brian Kemp said the state will end the extra $300 in federal weekly jobless payments that thousands of Georgians receive on top of their unemployment checks during the pandemic, part of what he described as an effort to push more residents into the workforce.

Well I have an interview with an architecture firm coming up. It will be a zoom interview which I have never done. The engineer I have been doing some work for has heard of them and done work with them in the past but it has been a while for him. According to him he did work the the current owner's father. It is not exactly in the best part of Atlanta and is a mostly African-American firm.
Edit: Zoom interview tomorrow at 4:00

good luck on the interview
Same thoughts from me as well.
Good Luck Dzy, know it’s been a rough time for you.
Zoom interview went well. They want me to come in person next week. They want to see my Revit skills up close and personal.
Unfortunately they do schools primarily.

Well, schools are steady. It's not the season for high-end hotels, office buildings and other fun stuff...
Very true and I could deal with schools again especially since this firm has fully embraced Revit unlike the last firm that I worked for that did schools. I could always wait until the high end hotel work picks up again. They also have a better attitude than the last place. The place I left had a partner that believed he was the only one that knew how to do anything and did not let his employees think for themselves. This place told me they want to know my opinion, if I know a better way to do something I need to speak up. They were very nice and they also know some people that I know, so I have references. They are not an entirely african-american firm as I was told. They said they like hiring good people that are personable and they liked me immediately. They have been in business for 50 years. It was started by one of the current partners dads and taken over by one of the sons and now the youngest son is in charge.
There's a site on Facebook I like called For the Love of Old Houses. They post listed old houses from all over, and I saw one today from Point Roberts, Washington. I'd never heard of the place so I googled and found this

They apparently do not have a ferry

Far from the pandemic, a WA border town faces its own crisis
Point Roberts residents used to cross through Canadian land daily. When the pandemic caused the border to close, they found themselves stranded.
