No thoughts on ways to open the country and manufacturing, people oriented businesses salons,health clubs clinics,ect,ect.
Well my county has 474 confirmed and 19 deaths. We are expecting to peak around April 23rd. I'm hunkering down until the 30th, maybe even the 6th of May.
And now where are we? 2 weeks later and Congressional Democrats defending WHO after they defended China earlier on. Anything to defeat Trump, even when it is not Trump they need to defeat. Partisan in equals partisan out, just like the bull#%$? models that destroyed the economy. Only one of two things can become of this. You defend China, or you defend your country. When you defend China, you're going to see more public uprisings like you are starting to see. I have my tin foil hat thoughts on it anymore, but think I have said enough. Worst case scenario will not happen regardless of how we reopen.
What do you consider man-made? Is extraction from a bat within a lab that brought it into the "slippery" category for transmission from bat to human to human man made? This was released from a lab, maliciously or not, it was not passed to humans through a soup or a snuggle.
A bit tongue in cheek copied from a FB post...now play by the rules. I hope this helps straighten out some of the confusion and misinformation out there! Thanks Andrea! Here are the current findings in a short summary. Thanks to media misinformation: The Rules: 1. Basically, you can't leave the house for any reason, but if you have to, then you can. 2. Masks are useless, but maybe you have to wear one, it can save you, it is useless, but maybe it is mandatory as well. 3. Stores are closed, except those that are open. 4. You should not go to hospitals unless you have to go there. Same applies to doctors, you should only go there in case of emergency, provided you are not too sick. 5. This virus is deadly but still not too scary, except that sometimes it actually leads to a global disaster. 6. Gloves won't help, but they can still help. 7. Everyone needs to stay HOME, but it's important to GO OUT. 8. There is no shortage of groceries in the supermarket, but there are many things missing when you go there in the evening, but not in the morning. Sometimes. 9. The virus has no effect on children except those it affects. 10. Animals are not affected, but there is still a cat that tested positive in Belgium in February when no one had been tested, plus a few tigers here and there… 11. You will have many symptoms when you are sick, but you can also get sick without symptoms, have symptoms without being sick, or be contagious without having symptoms. Oh, my.. 12. In order not to get sick, you have to eat well and exercise, but eat whatever you have on hand and it's better not to go out, well, but no… 13. It's better to get some fresh air, but you get looked at very wrong when you get some fresh air, and most importantly, you don't go to parks or walk. But don’t sit down, except that you can do that now if you are old, but not for too long or if you are pregnant (but not too old). 14. You can't go to retirement homes, but you have to take care of the elderly and bring food and medication. 15. If you are sick, you can't go out, but you can go to the pharmacy. 16. You can get restaurant food delivered to the house, which may have been prepared by people who didn't wear masks or gloves. But you have to have your groceries decontaminated outside for 3 hours. Pizza too? 17. Every disturbing article or disturbing interview starts with " I don't want to trigger panic, but…" 18. You can't see your older mother or grandmother, but you can take a taxi and meet an older taxi driver. 19. You can walk around with a friend but not with your family if they don't live under the same roof. 20. You are safe if you maintain the appropriate social distance, but you can’t go out with friends or strangers at the safe social distance. 21. The virus remains active on different surfaces for two hours, no, four, no, six, no, we didn't say hours, maybe days? But it takes a damp environment. Oh no, not necessarily. 22. The virus stays in the air - well no, or yes, maybe, especially in a closed room, in one hour a sick person can infect ten, so if it falls, all our children were already infected at school before it was closed. But remember, if you stay at the recommended social distance, however in certain circumstances you should maintain a greater distance, which, studies show, the virus can travel further, maybe. 23. We count the number of deaths but we don't know how many people are infected as we have only tested so far those who were "almost dead" to find out if that's what they will die of… 24. We have no treatment, except that there may be one that apparently is not dangerous unless you take too much (which is the case with all medications). Orange man bad. 25. We should stay locked up until the virus disappears, but it will only disappear if we achieve collective immunity, so when it circulates… but we must no longer be locked up for that?

Now chatter about $2k/mth checks till the economy recovers... Um, newsflash, the economy left alone without checks will take time to recover...my estimate at least a year +. Keep doling out money and the economy won't recover. Period. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk
5.5m more new jobless claims. Last week's number revised up 10k. We're down 22m jobs. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk
I think it's going to get ugly. Doesn't matter if people get to go back to work right now... My personal belief is that the damage is already done.
On the news this morning Mark Cuban was on, stated he is involved with around 200 small businesses and has been trying to keep employees on the payroll but a lot of them are opting for unemployment as it is the better deal right now. It's going to be like that for the next 3 months unless they extend it further like some on a certain partisan side want to do. Unemployment is not supposed to replace income, it is meant to assist until a new job can be found. Until that is fixed many will not come off unemployment until forced to do so. With current numbers and 13 weeks left it is on pace to cost $171.6 billion in basically bonus revenue. Going to be hard to ask people to take a paycut to go back to work.
Local crimestoppers put this out this morning. Figure most here would be skeptical anyway, but just in case.
I'm pessimistic at present. It's bad, I think it can get much worse. Would get much worse if the doors are reopened without restraint, since some small % (even if it is 20%) of the nation have been exposed to date. Sent from my SM-G960U1 using Tapatalk
When we are all dead and long gone people will look on these times and say, what a bunch of nut jobs. What was up with the TP?! We asked our son if they had enough. He said no worries I'm learning how to use the sea shells....
Not going to be hard at all to ask them to come back. What will be hard is deciding what to do if they don't come back. Most will challenge their UC. Once they stop receiving UC, they will want their job back. What then? Will the employer then play hardball and tell them they self-terminated. We will take you back but you are a new employee. You have lost any seniority rights you had and you start here on the pay scale. I believe this will be a local thing and directly related to the experience needed to perform the job.
