"'I am afraid for my life, I must say, because I cherish my life,' he said in an interview, showing no signs of ill health at the time."

Ugh, what a shame, fingers crossed he's the 10% that survives the disease.

My understanding is that more than 10% survive in cases where they're well-cared-for and hydrated. Still bad odds, but not 10%.

If only for his detailed knowledge of the disease, yes. One thing that is overlooked when considering the ethics of "that patient is more derserving than others" (see comments about nurses above) is how often throwing everything at a small number of otherwise healthy patients helps finding unexpected cures. It was very true for rich patients with HIV for instance.

I concur, but location is a massive factor in who looks like a millionaire and who doesn't. A single million in Cupertino gets you a house that's about 1500 square feet with a tiny yard, while just an hour south of Cupertino a million could get you a 4000 square feet house with several acres.

Usually visible millionaires are probably a lot richer though or just really bad at saving. The question is who's going to do well in the long run, and that's most likely the one that's always saving.

good on you haha

my family invests stocks as well and we lost ~40000 in 2008, those were not good times.

Ignoring the edit because it's literally everything, the tabs I have open first thing in the morning is:

Facebook, reddit, gmail, and 4chan's /g. Sometimes /b.

I disagree, I know some pretty smart people on there. Sure there are some idiots floating around on /b/ but /g/ and /sci/ are generally intelligent.
