There will be areas in the country where that will be the case and others where it won’t. He will encourage hot spots to be more strict while areas with lower cases to open back up.

Right. And starve thousands who don't have the money now for 6 weeks worth of food? Sounds like a solid plan.

Well that was the case from the very beginning. Did we really think this was gonna be as bad in Nebraska and Alabama as California and New York?

Scruffy, what would be your suggested approach?

You still need some data to know what you are dealing with and where. And we have been saying from the beginning we need a whole lot more testing. I think more testing gets us back faster.

Those who can work at home do that.
For everyone else, continue working and continue testing.
Increase testing to involve just fevers.
Those positive stay home. Strictly enforce this.
Those who are in higher risk groups take increased measures to protect themselves.
We have to get the economy back on track.
Long term destruction of the working class also results in severe effects, such as increased crime and deaths.
Focus efforts strongly on those cities hit the hardest.

I was just entering the workforce at that time, graduated from tech college in 2009. I had minimum wage jobs before that. It took me ~9 months to find a job in my field (IT) after I moved to BR in 2009.
Anyway, you're right. I was 20,21 and had no responsibility besides bills. I'm 31 now and have a family, a mortgage, car note, etc. I've come far in my career but there's only 1 of me in my position at work so I'm not sure if they would see me as expendable or as invaluable

doomcasting
When the stock market sheds 9000 and the GDP predictions are all terrible, we have moved passed “doomcasting”.
This isn’t like predicting numbers of deaths.
Our response has already ruined people financially.
That isn’t a prediction. It has already happened.

The stock market was tanking well before we started shutting everything down.
So you can't blame people losing their 401ks completely on this.
Nobody that got furloughed last week is completely ruined financially already. Jesus Christ.
If they are, they were already ruined.
You have become what you lectured everyone about for hundreds of pages. You have become Mr. Perfect. Congrats, my dude.

This is just the beginning.
Cuomo pushing for months.
California doing the same thing.
Two of our biggest economies on indefinite lockdown.

Sure.
This is the outcome Scruffy preached against for “hundreds of pages”.
Let’s hope to God Scruffy is wrong.
If Scruffy is, he’ll take any length of time self ban. Just pick a number.

After listening to some of Trumps conference, it sounds like this may be the push in another week.
If the US had mask supplies it would be easier. I’m not even talking about N95, just regular masks that can stop those that are showing minor signs to stop spreading it by coughing, sneezing, or drooling.

Only $16 of $SPY left before the last 5 years of gains are wiped out.

Step aside... the late 30s crowd has you covered. We went into a red hot economy for about a year or two in 2004-2007 - enough to fork over money for a house - only to watch the $20k you put into a home turn into a $50k underwater money pit while half the people around you are laid off.
You have rebuilt slowly over many years and all of the sudden one of the greatest economies in modern times vanishes in the span of weeks because of a random Chinese virus.
Baby boomers had a 30 year bull run with no major crisis, and the older millenials have been gifted with not one but two Great Recessions in the span of their first 15 years if things continue on their current path.
It's all good... comparison is the thief of joy, and if you are an American living today that makes you blessed.

Great post. Was a pleasure to read while I sit here taking a substantial dump. One of those that you get up from, breathe a huge sigh and go lay down.
