60 Seconds with Steve Monroe: Uncontrolled Spread: Why Covid-19 Crushed Us

If there is one book you should read to really understand what happened with the COVID-19 pandemic, it is former FDA Commissioner Scott Gottlieb’s excellent book on this topic, called Uncontrolled Spread.

Getting back to the recent results, as a result of their major recapitalization late last year, raising $154.8 million, there is no longer a “going concern” issue for the company, which was a major problem. Check that one off the list. Next up is census, which like everyone else hit bottom last Spring, but has been... Read More »
