Closing Thoughts

The COVID episode has run since Jul 4, spanning 12 days. The next sessions will show whether the streak extends beyond 10.

GC Medical Science and Boditech Med sit in both COVID and Monkeypox, linking the two themes. Whether the Semiconductors rebound continues is the other point to track.
