Hello? Hey Catherine.

Hey Catherine.

Hey. Today I have a question for you.

For me. me.

Something I cannot understand, know nothing about.

The stock market just had its best quarter in decades? Is that your question? What does that mean? What is the

stock market? Why is it doing this? No, I'm with you.

I don't understand at all.

Hmm.

Why are you interested in the stock market?

Because you are a doctor and care about health and we're following the health. locations of the pandemic why do you care about what the stock market is doing?

I mean you know that people's well-being well-being of the economy is tied to health of all sorts, but that tends to be stuff like putting

roof over your head and having job security and being able to feed your family and yet it seems like like there's

a lot of stress in a lot of places in those areas and yet I keep hearing updates about the stock market doing well, so I just don't understand that that disconnect and I want to

Well, I as I assume you know couldn't tell you nothing about this so I think we're going to have to

call on some help on this one and even just economically like jobless claims were

super high tons of people are sick, everything's shut down, the country's

deeply divided. Oh, also, the stock market's up.

Let's give Derek a call.

I think Derek Thompson's staff writer covering the

economy. Derek is just really good at explaining things. He's really good at

saying things in numeric lists.
