People will lose jobs and run out of money and have to do something besides sit in the house and starve. So you will see people ignoring it if/when it gets to that point. 100 percent. We need to be doing everything we can right now to prepare hospitals in the meantime. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malapropismic Depository Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 I just woke up from a Corona hangover, when I heard the President was sending everyone free money, especially the poor and small business ? Is the check in the mail ? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bearrock Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Ok, everyone calm down. Things are bleak. But we've seen two relatively effective approaches in China and South Korea. To me, the central key is carpet bombing the tests. Whether it be after a total shutdown or from the get go, if we can test, test, and more test, we can quickly isolate and quell any potential of a mass unknowing community spread. And if people indeed acquire immunity as most experts suspect, we should also start a massive antibody testing program to see who's already survived it. That buys us time until a vaccine and/or treatment is developed. The measures now are intended to buy time to ramp up healthcare infrastructure, stockpile medical supplies, tamp down what appears to be an ongoing community spread, and drastically expand testing capacity. If everyone pitches in, do our part, and be each other's keeper (from afar people! Keep that distance!), we can and will get through this. It was during the darkest times when this country's and humanity's spirit shined the brightest. This is our generation's challenge. And we'll rise to meet it like the generations before us. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issue after issue we let things go cause for most people it's out of sight, out of mind. As Churchill once said ... "The United States can always be relied upon to do the right thing — having first exhausted all possible alternatives." 6 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NickyJ Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 Inspiring words, bear. But I'll be honest, if I get to choose between being someone's keeper and being a 24 pack of toilet paper's keeper, I'm choosing the toilet paper. So I'm here for you until they restock.

kfrankie Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 1 hour ago, NickyJ said: When businesses close down during a quarantine, businesses won't be paying their employees. No hours worked = No pay. That's why the government is making plans for paying individuals. In general, I'm against "free money" policies where everyone gets a check. But in a massive catastrophe like this where it is literally impossible to earn a living, I believe it is necessary as long as they keep a cutoff line to not waste money on the wealthy. It sucks that it's going to cost so much, but this is one of the times where we're going to have to eat it. Under these circumstances, I think it's important to understand that an all or nothing approach on either end of the spectrum will spell disaster. We cannot remain open and continue business as usual, because this virus will spread uncontrollably. On the other hand, those that can work safely must continue to do so, even if you are not in a "critical" industry. Everything is interconnected, in ways we can't even imagine. This is why its so difficult to predict a recession. Let's remember, the United States government does not have an unlimited ability provide for its citizens. During good financial times, we all benefit, but the rich benefit the most. Conversely, history has demonstrated that in any financial catastrophe, it is the poor that will suffer the most, eat the last, and starve first. It is in everyone's interest, particularly the "have nots", that the economy stays afloat. That requires everyone to be cautious, but it will also involve courage and a willingness to take some risks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrFan Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) We're under confinment and the parisians are fleeing the city to the countryside to make sure to increase the pandemic and to raid the supermarkets ! Our lousy government always acting late, instead of acting quick like our Italian friends. Now waiting until we're running out of respiratory units to decide to send the military to the rescue like the Chinese did right away.

The government customers have approved that telework. So my $20M company will continue to pay its employees, provide services to the government, and go on as usual. That means that I continue to get paid, pay my rent, pay my utilities, buy goods, etc. Anyone in this situation helps to slightly offset those who need to "sit out" of the market and can't earn or spend money as they usually would. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have the technology and infrastructure to do this, so it should be enabled and encouraged for many reasons outside of social distancing. Some customers are completely virtual while others (one that would be concerning to the public) only has about 2-3% telework capabilities 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Posted March 18, 2020 Share Posted March 18, 2020 2 hours ago, China said: So I'm looking at the JHU Coronavirus dashboard and there are zero (0) people in the US that have recovered from the virus. That can't be right. Somebody must have recovered by now. I think not only are the number of cases artificially low because of the poor testing, but reporting anything other than deaths isn't accurate. The death counts aren't accurate, either. Person who dies, without being tested? Doesn't count. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
