Let's take a step back and compare data serialization formats, of which there are plenty. What are the key differences between Apache Thrift, Google Protocol Buffers and Apache Avro. Which is "The Best"? Truth of the matter is, they are all very good and each has its own strong points. Hence, the answer is as much of a personal choice, as well as understanding of the historical context for each, and correctly identifying your own, individual requirements.
For most states, the majority of Covid-19 deaths were in long-term care facilities, as shown in this horizontal bar chart. For the country as a whole, 42% of all Covid-19 deaths were in long-term care facilities. Minnesota's 635 Covid deaths in long-term care were 81% of the state's total Covid deaths. Rhode Island, New Hampshire and Connecticut all had 70% or more of their Covid deaths among long-term care facility occupants. At the other extreme, only 20% of New York's Covid deaths and 24% of Nevada's were long-term care related. Even though New York's percentage was lowest, it had the greatest number of deaths in long-term care at 5,847. Data were compiled by the Kaiser Family Foundation and came from 37 states as of May 21, 2020.
Eighty per cent of the 133,359 COVID-19 deaths are concentrated in 7 countries with 20% in the US, as shown in this 100% stacked bar chart. The seven other countries are mostly in Europe--Italy, Spain, France, United Kingdom, and Belgium, with Iran being the other. The 27,886 US COVID-19 deaths are also concentrated. There were 10,834 in New York, which is 39% of the total in the US. New Jersey accounted for 10% (2,805). Two other states, Michigan and Louisiana, had over 1,000 deaths. COVID-19 deaths data were compiled by worldometer on April 15.

US Economic Outlook - Being Decided - M Capital Group August 2021.pdfpchutichetpong
The U.S. economy is continuing its impressive recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic and not slowing down despite re-occurring bumps. The U.S. savings rate reached its highest ever recorded level at 34% in April 2020 and Americans seem ready to spend. The sectors that had been hurt the most by the pandemic specifically reduced consumer spending, like retail, leisure, hospitality, and travel, are now experiencing massive growth in revenue and job openings.
Could this growth lead to a “Roaring Twenties”? As quickly as the U.S. economy contracted, experiencing a 9.1% drop in economic output relative to the business cycle in Q2 2020, the largest in recorded history, it has rebounded beyond expectations. This surprising growth seems to be fueled by the U.S. government’s aggressive fiscal and monetary policies, and an increase in consumer spending as mobility restrictions are lifted. Unemployment rates between June 2020 and June 2021 decreased by 5.2%, while the demand for labor is increasing, coupled with increasing wages to incentivize Americans to rejoin the labor force. Schools and businesses are expected to fully reopen soon. In parallel, vaccination rates across the country and the world continue to rise, with full vaccination rates of 50% and 14.8% respectively.
However, it is not completely smooth sailing from here. According to M Capital Group, the main risks that threaten the continued growth of the U.S. economy are inflation, unsettled trade relations, and another wave of Covid-19 mutations that could shut down the world again. Have we learned from the past year of COVID-19 and adapted our economy accordingly?
“In order for the U.S. economy to continue growing, whether there is another wave or not, the U.S. needs to focus on diversifying supply chains, supporting business investment, and maintaining consumer spending,” says Grace Feeley, a research analyst at M Capital Group.
While the economic indicators are positive, the risks are coming closer to manifesting and threatening such growth. The new variants spreading throughout the world, Delta, Lambda, and Gamma, are vaccine-resistant and muddy the predictions made about the economy and health of the country. These variants bring back the feeling of uncertainty that has wreaked havoc not only on the stock market but the mindset of people around the world. MCG provides unique insight on how to mitigate these risks to possibly ensure a bright economic future.
