The virus might be over in a few weeks. The economy is going to be fricked for awhile. A lot of people are going to become unemployed.

Think about Katrina only it's not just South Louisiana and Mississippi. It's the whole fricking world experiencing a similar disruption...

Here's the problem. You crazies aren't even reading the restrictions right. No one is prohibited from leaving their homes. You just can't go to bars and restaurants. How the frick does that equal house arrest?

Would have to waive 2019 taxes or something on that level to stimulate back the economy

This isn't California, one of the worst hit states. This restriction is not nation wide.

Well yeah.... we’ll survive. It might look like reconstruction era south around here, but most of us will be alive.

Doubtful. We are just now starting to scratch the surface at how much the virus has penetrated society.

Yep. It's going to get really ugly in a couple of weeks for a lot of people. Hopefully Congress gets something passed soon to help those people.

By the end of April, we will be business as usual.


Agreed. Studies have shown the virus does not like the warmth. The faster Spring comes, the better. Social distancing from now until then will help tremendously.

Wish people would stop equating social distancing for a month and a half with the end of the world, though. The economy will bounce back faster the less people that are exposed.

No one is putting you on house arrest... Y'all are a bunch of primadonnas. Quit panicking. Learn to cook, work from home, and go outside from time to time. You don't have to go to a sleazy bar in Bucktown to play video poker to feel "free." The economy will be fine. Everything will be okay if you just chill out and spend a little more time than usual at home.

I love that the solution is “work from home”. That’s not possible for the vast majority of the work force.

Has anyone said that? With many companies going to work from home, new advisories every day saying to avoid places where X number of people congregate, restaurants being shut down, etc., it's going to cause a lot of job loss, a lot less money moving through the economy, bills not being paid, etc.
