People saying June/July, are you saying this because you don’t want businesses to open until then or are you saying it because you don’t think the government will allow until then?

In terms of all the posts on the OT about the conronavirus stuff, you have provided the best info about that. I appreciate you for that.

what the hell did I say?

I'm no more informed than anyone else on here. I was in my 30s during the last crash so I remember it pretty vividly though.

Some people are saying this will be a seasonal bug we as a nation have to fight every year. If that’s the case, will it always be this bad?

You also don’t want to reopen everything too soon because then you run the risk of the virus coming back.

I know. I’ve just seen multiple people say June/July in this thread. Just responded to your OP to ask the question to those people:

So they would make more being unemployed than actually going to work?



That is what I gathered. Again, I could be way off base. Waiting for the people who get paid to figure that stuff out to filter it down.

It’s going to be there regardless of when you reopen. The point of stay at home is to not overwhelm the health system, not eradicate the virus

Right. And if everything reopens and the virus spreads again and overwhelms the healthcare system, then what.

We will see spikes no matter what. Unless an effective vaccine comes out. Hence the whole flattening the curve they are beating into our heads

Everything being put in place now is to avoid that. Testing, extra ventilators, beds, etc. This has been brought up in every White House press conference by Fauci as not being a major concern for a “second wave”

5 months of no paychecks, no school, no athletics, and no social venues for the inner city?

June 15th would only be 3 months. You do pandemic forecasting with those math skills?

5 months on June 15th???

We started a national shutdown on January 15th?

My guess is we start seeing easing to an extent in mid May and June 1 in other places that have had more issues.

If we are on 20 straight days of quadruple digit deaths on April 20th, Trump isn’t going to be in a rush to open things up.

I expect a second round of checks to go, although obviously that is a clusterfrick on timing.

I'm not sure about your first question but I do think that we are going to have to start opening things back up in the next month. I think we'll ask high risk people to stay home and continue social distancing, many still working from home and avoiding large crowds.

Maybe we can ask restaurants, theaters etc to operate at half capacity?

But will they listen?

Look at the guy who said he wasn’t sick to see his wife give birth and they all got sick.

governors choking own states. on them to loosen grip


As I've said before.
Trump needs to make it clear.
Zero state or local bailouts of government.

That lack of tax dollars will get governors and mayors acting right real quick.

It's very possible that we'd end up back where we are I guess. What alternatives do we have though?

We'll need a $12 trillion stimulus package to keep it all shutdown until July. That would wreck our currency as well.

There are no easy answers. I think the best course of action is to take a moderate approach that's somewhere in between. Open up most businesses that aren't in hot zones, leave the hot zones locked down.

I just hope that before businesses reopen they do a deep clean, so there isn't a reinfection.

Forecasts now suggest that this could easily be possible in many states.

I was at a New Orleans & Company luncheon around Mardi Gras where JBE was the speaker. They talked up JBE a ton and thanked him for his help. I can't imagine they'll sit idly by until June/July.
