Coronovirus III

Wierd. you get less money for being more productive

I’ll be getting less money by going back to work than I would by sitting here and playing on INGO and FB all day. (We’re only going back to work 1/2 the time we were at before this all started).

Doesn't seem quite right does it? You want to go back to work? Okay, but we're cutting your pay. Want to go on unemployment? Great! You get a raise!

And I’m one of the ones that believe philosophically, it was a bad move to add that $600/week number to the UI. It removes, or at least diminishes the desire for one to return to work, even at part time from where you were before. I can only imagine how those that look to the government as their savior and have really had a windfall during the past month will look at this, when it happens to them.

 

[HoughMade]

Sorry to hear that. I don’t understand the reasoning for going back “halfway”. You’re exposing yourself to coworkers already, it isn’t like being exposed to them “half the time” will make you “half as likely” to catch it if they bring it in.

I doubt it is a one-to-one correlation, but being around people less time does decrease the risk of spread. Also, staggering when people work allows people to be more physically spread out.

I wouldn’t say that. I’ll get less money for being there less time and able to accomplish a fraction of what I could previously.

Is the half time related to chinese virus safety concerns or is there less work to be done than before?

If some of the "experts" are correct, and we have a "more severe" 2nd wave in the Fall/Winter, and we don't have a vaccine by that time, do we do all of this lock down again?
I'm not an economic scholar, but I can see that being catastrophic for our economy, if we are even making a good comeback by then.

That "IF" is so big it will not fit my screen. The "experts" have been so wrong why would anyone believe then now?

Early on in this thing we had the discussion about an article that suggested a corona virus party. This was about the time some kids were having such parties, but it was more in contempt and disbelief than making it an actual strategy. I agreed with it if we could know who might get through it without harm. Having a lot of people out there immune to it would be a good thing, and keep it from spreading to those of us who might have problems with it.

I wasn't......Let's do it

Budgetary...because of CV effects on the business.

• President Donald Trump plans to use the Defense Production Act to order meat processing plants to stay open through the coronavirus pandemic, a person familiar tells CNBC.
• The government will also be providing additional guidance and protective gear for employees of meatpacking plants.
• Nearly two dozen plants have closed after workers contracted Covid-19, prompting plant owners and farmers to warn of a meat shortage on grocery store shelves.

I found nothing to disagree with. In fact, it makes more sense than most things I've heard lately.

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to Daniel G. Murphy, MD again.

Darn it.

With the job some of the bad ERs are doing in new york it won't matter if anything is open, closed or non-binary.

A small section from Billboard magazine re: the 1918 flu outbreak and the effects on the entertainment industry and country fairs. Not a lot of depth, but I figured a few of you might enjoy it. Terre Haute theaters mentioned....owners arrested TWICE.

They dressed better in 1918.

At the grocery today, pure comedy, employees taking them off to talk, folks wearing them incorrectly, not covering noses, etc. I think many are wearing them to avoid the social media nasty brown shirts.
