STRATEGY: Course correcting Epicenter --> downgrade Financials to N from OW, upgrade FANG from UW to OW

...UK cases bear some watching

The news on COVID-19 remains mostly positive and in part, due to the effectiveness of vaccines.  And so far, even the more transmissible variants can be stopped/slowed by vaccines.  And thus, watching case trends in developed nations, which have far higher vaccine penetration, is a place to watch for trouble:

- UK case trends might be curling up
- the India variant is dominant in UK, and could explain this

- it's not necessarily a cause for alarm, for us, for two reasons
- UK did recently lift restrictions, so some rise is expected
- Israel has seen cases dwindle to nearly zero, so this gives us comfort

We know many pundits will say US is only a few weeks behind UK, so we should panic.  But this is what many experts said earlier this year, and the UK/Europe had a surge, but no such surge appeared in the US.  So we are not yet alarmed.  But we are watching.
