Excellent article, dignin, thanks. The one to two month scenario seems highly unlikely. The 3 to 4 month scenario even seems a little optimistic but I would hope that is the best option. Would love to be back to work before summer is over.
You think two months is highly unlikely looking at China and South Korea? I am hopeful thats all we need. I think we will have a lot to learn from China in the next month or two about the potential of second waves and if this thing can be stopped well enough or not with 1 lockdown after opening back up. That is if they report accurately of course.
I know no one really knows how this will all play out and it is all speculation. I just can't imagine living in a country that is shut down all of summer too. I guess I could not imagine living in a country that was shut down period. I am Canadian btw but still applies to the US for me.
'I know no one really knows how this will all play out and it is all speculation.'
Not really. There's a whole branch of medicine which deals with the incidence, distribution, and possible control of diseases and other factors relating to health.
This was not only possible, not even probable, but inevitable.
So which branch of medicine or expert has given us the definitive timeline? I have not seen it yet.
G20 leader virtual meeting held a few hours ago. I wonder what is to come out of that? Australia had another 5 deaths in 24 hours. NSW may be in full lockdown by the weekend because so many are not taking it seriously. I'm still sick with a lung infection since Monday now on antibiotics and steroids and can't shake it. Don't want to end up in hospital especially at this time 🙏
Damn sorry to hear that hoping for a speedy recovery..
W. Kent Taylor, the co-founder and CEO of Texas Roadhouse Inc., will be giving up his bonus and base salary this year to pay his chain’s workers during the coronavirus pandemic.
A spokesperson for the company confirmed reports to The Hill on Thursday that Taylor will be redirecting his bonus and the base salary he would have received from March 18 to Jan. 7, 2021 to the pockets of his chain’s frontline workers instead.
“Kent Taylor has always said that Texas Roadhouse is a People-company that just happens to serve great steaks. His donation of his salary and bonus to help employees is the embodiment of that saying,” the spokesperson said. “We are blessed to have his leadership.”
He added that the donation from Taylor's base salary will amount to just under $525,000 and his bonus is $525,000 as well. “On a prorated basis, the forgone salary and bonus would be just under a $1 million donation to employees,” he said.
The move comes as the pandemic has sparked worry for restaurants and businesses deemed nonessential by government leaders as states and municipalities across the country have ordered food establishments to reduce their services to delivery options in efforts to limit the spread of COVID-19.
The spokesperson also told The Hill that Taylor recently donated $5 million to Andy’s Outreach, which he described as charitable fund that help support the company’s employees during “times of need.” The fund was named after Andy Armadillo, which is the chain’s mascot.

2 months? Canada hopefully. NY unfortunately no way.
The Trump administration, state officials and even individual hospital workers are now racing against each other to get the necessary masks, gloves and other safety equipment to fight coronavirus — a scramble that hospitals and doctors say has come too late and left them at risk. But according to a previously unrevealed White House playbook, the government should’ve begun a federal-wide effort to procure that personal protective equipment at least two months ago. ... The playbook also repeatedly urges officials to question official numbers about the viral spread. “What is our level of confidence on the case detection rate?” reads one question. “Is diagnostic capacity keeping up?” But across January and much of February, Trump administration officials publicly insisted that their diagnostic efforts were sufficient to detect coronavirus. Officials now privately concede that the administration’s well-documented testing problems have contributed to the outbreak’s silent spread across the United States, and health experts say that diagnostic capacity is only now in late March catching up to the need.

This is a frightening article. We know it’s an airborne disease, but the way it’s described here leads me to believe that someone can become infected while walking the dog or going for a run, for example, even in a non-crowded environment. If the wind is carrying someone’s cough or sneeze from 20, 50, 100 feet away, and you happen to be in its path, it sounds like you can get it. So, unless you wear a mask outdoors, keeping a “safe” distance from anyone else who passes by may not be enough. Wonderful.

Anyone against M4A at this point simply lacks empathy.
Debate all you want.. it comes down to either caring or not giving a shit about your fellow citizens.
If it's not on the Democrats Platform coming out the convention then they will lose..
Our current system will likely exacerbate the spread of the virus. I know I'll think twice (or 30 times) before seeking any sort of treatment, knowing that the results could lead to bankruptcy.

This is what the evangelicals have been hoping for for decades. The rapture is here and they believe they’re the chosen ones. Good luck with that. Gonna pray it all away, soon it’ll be zero.
