This dude is going to get so many people killed jfc.

I’ve been looking for employee relief funds.

I agree with everything except the move on faster point. We bungled containment, if it was possible at all. Now the goal is to make it last as long as possible. If we do nothing it'll be over quicker, but with orders of magnitude more bodies and all sorts of failed infrastructure. I can't fathom how anyone believes the economy can function with people just dropping dead all over the place though.

Is the implication here that poor people should not be tested?

Apropos of nothing, a 101 year old in Italy recovered from corona, after having survived the Spanish flu as an infant. Tough old bastard.

I should be at least 6 beers deep by now. SMH

sigh

It is. But on the other hand, since we have no provisions for remote voting, and congressmen testing positive, every time the get together is asking for chaos to ensue.

Politically? No probably not. Cuomo currently has a functioning brain though.

Yeah. But you’re getting Biden

well this is bleak.

Hope your right. Ultimately, this is a huge issue for all small business, but small business that depends on large crowds and people who aren’t exactly financially solvent will have it extra hard.

I'm thinking the Empty Bottles and Subterraneans will be in trouble.

They're just the first thing that popped into my head.

I've broken my personal rule of not ordering physical stuff online quite a few times already.

I think a huge number of them are probably boned. Who knows how long after the legal obligation to be closed ends that crowds are ready to come back. It's depressing the hell out of me. The entertainment business is already WAY too concentrated and this is only going to make it worse. It sucks. The priority s keeping people alive, but the other end of this crisis is bleak.

I know this is the last thing on anyone else's mind but I'm both morbidly fascinated and terrified how the small to mid level music industry is going to come back from this. Baseball is going to bounce back. I'm not sure something like the Metro will.

Every country in the world has no problem shutting down parts or all of their economies, and we're here debating sacrificing meemaw to the DOW. We are truly the stupidest country.

It is inevitable that the US is hit harder than any other country at this point.

I had swine flu. I would do just about anything to not have it again. And by every account this sucks way worse.

Idk what the plan is or should be. What the plan can't be is do it half assed for a week, then open things up literally as you see New York and others start to hit a critical mass.

how can anyone possibly defend this? It’s absolute insanity.

We’ve been fucked from the start. But now that ‘getting corona virus to own the libs’ has become a thing we’re doubly so.

It’s not just boomers. A 35 year old died in New York yesterday. A healthy 42 year in Chicago died two days ago.
