Swedens biggest hotel chain SCANDIC is laying off 2000 people (half of it's employees) because of the virus and its board of directors will go go down 20 percent in pay.
Smaller companies will fall one by one I fear, restaurants, shops and the like.
Central Stockholm today:
maybe that board of directors could have saved some jobs by going full on volunteer in their positions for the foreseeable future. sounds like capitalism to me.
Well.. it is a hotel chain... it is a private company.
Not every company can be as noble as Nintendo.

Afraid to get sick as they are in their 80’s and hear that the novel coronavirus is affecting older people disproportionately. And that they don’t have family around to help them out. Through the crack in the window she handed me a $100 bill and a grocery list, and asked if I
would be willing to buy her groceries.
I bought the groceries and placed them in her trunk, and gave her back the change. She told me she had been sitting in the car for nearly 45 min before I had arrived, waiting to ask the right person for help.
I know it’s a time of hysteria and nerves, but offer to help anyone you can. Not everyone has people to turn to.
Now that was an outstanding thing to do and I would've done the same. I just would've exchanged phone numbers just so that she wouldn't worry while I shopped for her.
Many in our society as we go forward are going to need someone's help in one way or another.

the fed has been doing this shit for two years. It's sort of like quantitative easing, which is supposed to be a recession lever only. This economy has been on a bull artificially for at least 18 months now, with the rate cuts, tax cuts and this.
I wrote a letter to Disney this morning stating that taking our temperature at departure would not account for Co-Vid 19s potential 14 day incubation period and threatened to sue based on stress-induced hypertension their delay is causing.
Hope it helps!

What would declaring a National Emergency do? I'm not versed much in US or global politics, nor economics.

I'm sure the Disney Corporation will give your letter the utmost consideration when making choices that affect their global operations.

Major League Baseball just suspended spring training postponed Opening Day..
Major League Baseball is delaying the start of the 2020 regular season by at least two weeks in response to the coronavirus pandemic, the league announced Thursday.
My company is implementing a recommended WFH beginning tomorrow.
I have a short commute and it's a fairly small office building with about 70 coworkers. Most people will be WFH. With this place empty I'm actually considering coming in for a few days per week for faster network and printing.
