    It would be more helpful if they shared charts that measured per capita. Of course we're going to have more cases than most of those countries.

    If I heard correctly it even covers payroll for 4 months up to 100k per employee?  is that right?

    Is there a link to this?  I didn't see that listed in the stories I read but people are citing some specifics that would suggest the text of the bill is out there for review.
    Can someone share, if so?

    I think it would be better if everybody found an accurate source and stuck with it. Too many people clearly have trouble applying the info  from these graphs to the situation. Having legitimate information has eased my anxiety on the situation quite a bit.

    Yeah, I hear ya. When a guy like that shares a chart like that with no context beyond "worst outbreak anywhere," they should be launched into the sun. People are jumpy right now.

    Not sure how this data is easing anxiety.....it's terrifying information an should be treated as such

    every major news outlet is carrying stories about the senate bill.  Look on the WashPo.

    What do you need? Do you fall under self employment, or having a struggling business?  Just wondering.....it really sucks that it won’t help you out.  I wrote my idiot congressmen, not sure if it helped at all but it is good to get your specific needs out there to people crafting these bills.

    An excerpt from that vague article:

    “What we need is to control the panic … we’re going to be fine,” assured Levitt, who correctly predicted early on that China would get through the worst of the outbreak by mid-February.

    His optimistic report on China said the country would peak with around 80,000 cases and 3,250 deaths. He was not far off: China has reported 81,588 cases with 3,281 deaths as of March 24."

    Yes, we do need to control the panic, but comparing us to China at this point would be mostly inaccurate since China took drastic measures and locked down everything. That might be an important difference to highlight and insert the caveat that we would be on the same path if the entire country was currently doing the same. Of course this isn't the end of the world, I don't know that I've heard anyone say that, but let's not minimize the possibility of over a million people dying from this.

    It's a hopeless situation...

    Because it’s info that’s fairly easy to follow and updated regularly from a trusted source. 

    Where are they getting the 2,000,000 number? Sounds like bad info from the first line.

    If you read the article he explains where his projections come from. He is estimating 1 death for every 125 people infected and then extrapolating based on the reported number of deaths. He puts the death rate at .8 - 1.0%. Much lower than what many had believed at one point when it was closer to 4 and 5.

    First world problems I know but something just hit me hard: I won’t be able to my son on his birthday Thursday.  My ex is a nurse practitioner in the trenches with all this.  We agreed to keep him with her until this all this passes.  Haven’t seen him in almost two weeks and I am cool with that but missing his birthday, god damn I am crushed. 
    being with family is not a first world problem, mike. it would crush the best of us. two weeks away from my kids, birthday or not, would be enough to do me in. stay strong. and don't feel guilty about being sad about it. he's your son. 


    I highly agree, missed my brother ( brother in law but I consider him a brother ) 40th birthday that was just him , my sister and their kids , missed my nephews 9th birthday a week ago.

    My mom is a cancer survivor with pre existing lung issues , we Facetime ever night but she is now on day 21 inside her apartment , I miss her more than I can say , I still get to see her but just wanted to hug her. I have a very close knit family and we at least had a plan in place , we take turns getting groceries for her. Place them at her door and say we love her. Once we leave she brings them in with plastic gloves on and throws away all the bags and wash's the cans and other food containers. I think some of our friends thought we were crazy a few weeks ago starting this but at this point at least my mom has not had contact with anyone for three weeks.

    Cant wait to hug every person I know when I can.

    I still don’t see where he gets the 2mil number from. Even with very liberal estimates it would be hard to imagine reaching half that.
