      Saving you all a click:

      We track CEO changes at US cos that have been in business for 2+ years w/ at least 10 employees using SEC filings, news, and press releases. Many resigned as part of a normal succession plan, but we’ve also seen a number or CEOs leaving due to strategic issues w/ the board.

      So that’s what the denominator is.Report

    I’m getting a rats fleeing the ship or canary in the coalmine kind of vibe. Perhaps they see a looming economic crisis and want to get out before things get harry.Report

    OT, but as good a place as any:

    From Reddit

    At this point, the hospital called the CDC requesting permission to perform the COVID-19 testing. The CDC denied the request on the ground that I did not have the most life-threatening symptoms: chest pain and shortness of breath. According to everything I read it’s very likely not to have these symptoms if you’re in your 30’s and relatively healthy. ….. But I don’t think that many people are aware of the fact that they’re actively not testing people for COVID-19, even people who have travel history to high-risk places.

    Hmmm. “The CDC denied the request”

    OK, two things. The first is that it’s weird that the CDC would deny the request. (Is it though? Trump and all?) The second is that administering the test requires CDC approval.Report

    And… that was that. They discharged me, said I don’t have Corona virus, since they didn’t test me for it, and said I can ride the subway, return to work, do whatever I want.

    This is gonna get ugly.
