This is true, but I don't think banks are allowed to foreclose right now. I fully expect there will be additional legislation that provides bailouts for the banks in exchange for letting people keep their homes. There will be fallout for sure, but I think there will at least be some safety net in place. Everyone will have their hand in the government cookie jar when this is all said and done. Some of that money will be put to good use and some will be abused.

When you look at HIPAA statute and who it covers, it would not cover Airlines.

Crashed and burned after 2008, and so did many others.

The table has been set for a mortgage meltdown that could make the Great Recession’s foreclosure crisis look small by comparison.

So if an airline was directed to take Covid samples, they could release your personal information and results to anyone?

I don't know why they'd do this, but I don't believe that they would be violating HIPAA if they did. The point trying to be made by another poster above was that airlines wouldn't want to do testing due to HIPAA concerns, and I don't agree with that. If airport Covid screening were going to be performed, they'd be done prior to or at TSA screening. Just my opinion.

Well early in this thread there was a discussion whether Airlines should have to ask about prior travel and forbid passengers who had been in China within the prior two weeks.... it was stated that this was the airlines responsibility, so if that is the logic, this would be the airlines responsibility too.

He better not. I heard him as well and he didn’t say it but I heard a hint. Mayb1 and I’m going to Target and Walmart and every dollar store and everywhere else that is open because I want to. Selfish yes but this is dumb past a certain point.

Did he say how many are in the hospital at the convention center???

If schools and colleges are closed, it will create a 20-40% reduction in respiratory disease transfer according to the CDC Pandemic mitigation plan. Combined with cancelling large gatherings (250+), this would be enough to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed.

It would be worthless to keep the rest of the economy shut down.

We are never going to zero out. We have a vaccine and 1000 people still die from the flu every year in Louisiana.

I thought we were doing this to keep hospitals from being overwhelmed, not preventing all deaths.

If we don't reopen at the beginning of May, there will not be a V shaped recovery.

If we are going to open May 1st, then we need a substantial drop in the number of new cases in the next few days. Here's the last week, with today at the bottom:

1,147
2,199
514
1,857
1,417
746
1,253

If we continue our current testing volume and get below 1000 new cases in the next few days and stay there, then we can conceive of a May 1st reopening.

The 70 deaths per day yesterday and the day before were well above the model's predictions, indicating that Louisiana's total problem is bigger than was previously thought.

Then you should be fully supportive/prepared for an additional 20 million+ UE claims.

It has absolutely nothing to do with what I support. It has to do with what is going to happen.

The guidance that the Trump administration is getting, and that they are pushing on to the governors, is that states need at least 14 days of declining cases to in order to reopen restaurants and retail.

The reality is that there's going to be a lead time on such an announcement. The governor isn't just going to announce one evening that restaurants can open the following day. It's going to be announced at least several days out.

That's why the next few days are critical to a May 1st reopen. If we don't see a significant drop in the next few days, then the reopening of restaurants and retail will likely get pushed back.

Testing volume has kind of plateaued bouncing around b/w 6 - 8K a day. Louisiana probably needs to be doing 15 - 20k test a day but is there that kind of demand for test? Are people that want to get tested not getting tested?

If schools, colleges, and large events are canceled, we are still mitigating. No reason to keep everything else closed. Flu goes down in the summer because schools are closed.

AND the intensity of the solar radiation goes through it’s maximum, which destroys the protein bonds of an exposed virus, rendering it not viable.

It’s not the summer heat, it’s the radiation.

People spend most of their time indoors away from solar radiation.

Respiratory illness goes down because kids aren't trading snot with 1000 other kids and then bringing it home to mom, dad, and grandma.
