Better pray for a vaccine as quickly as possible. That's the ONLY thing that will let us go back to completely normal living.

I don’t think we’ll get back to completely normal for a while. Healthy people should be allowed to work, though. I don’t expect festivals and sporting events to be a thing for a while, even after commerce is opened up.

Nationwide new unemployment claims are released. Probably in the millions.

I’ve complained about it enough on here but I’m ok with nursing homes not allowing visitors for awhile longer if it means people can get back to work.

If you need a vaccine you're weak.
Nut up and just walk it off if you get it.

The visitors are probably ok with it too!

How does a Great Depression with a Panic of 1873 thrown in for good measure sound to you? Because if you don't get the engine restarted by then, you are going to have to rebuild it if it goes to May....and it won't be pretty

Missouri's unemployment claims in the last week alone equaled 30% of their unemployment claims for the whole year in 2019.

I don't want this to last any longer than it has to. But if we just say screw it and reopen things all this damage will be for nothing.
How would you feel if we don't reopen things, and then we learn 3 months from now we cratered the economy for nothing but prolonging the inevitable?

If we hit worst case scenario with the virus the economy was always going down.

You're painting with too broad of a brush with this, i've seen folks poor and rich push for people to stay at home.

I think at this point I know at least 10 people that have either lost their job or had to shut down their small business in the last couple of weeks.
Now at this point I don't know how permanent it is, but I am surprised other people are not in the same boat.

I know of several people that are in that position. Again, the cure can not be worse than the disease.

All of the measures that he called for would fly directly into the face of "Lean" principles since they would be considered waste. All of this additional spending that he was calling for would be considered waste by just about any Fortune 500 accountant.

Serum, it's already here. Vaccines only help when used before an infection, and we are 18 months from that. That's another flu season plus.
Serum is antibodies from blood plasma of someone that has recovered from the virus. Each recovered person can provide enough (every 3 days) to treat 2 people.
It works best if it is used before an infection.
The "Trump cocktail" as they call it is the best choice for recovery. But reports are looking good for serum too.

I was just reading an article on this and the March report only goes through March 12th.
Evidently the April report is going to show the real damage. Estimated to be 5-6 million jobs lost. And I don't even think that factors in the underemployed people who are working fewer hours. Certainly wouldn't account for gig economy workers who are pretty much decimated as well.

“This is cataclysmic. I can’t think of a darker word. It’s Armageddon if lawmakers don’t come up with support [for businesses and households] in the next couple days,” says Mark Zandi, chief economist of Moody’s Analytics. His projected 5 million to 6 million job losses won’t be visible in the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics’ March jobs report—given it collects numbers only through the week of March 12. He expects the BLS March report to show only around 50,000 lost jobs, while the April report is when we’d see the millions of lost jobs on paper.
