| I think our grandparents would warn us. Please do everything possible to remain safe. Money is not worth suffering. Are we panicking after just one month of quarantine? Most of us have government bailouts. Some of them are actually doing better. An example......my daughter is a social worker and is having to continue dealing with families. Very dangerous work. She gets her Masters in May so this is her career. She brings home $700 a week. Her roommate is a hair dresser. She is out of work and has unemployment of $900 a week for 4 whole months and will have her job back when this is over. She was making $600 a week when she was working. |

| According to AJ Tomlinson's diary from 1918, the federal government shut everything down for 4 weeks during the Spanish flu epidemic. I agree that if we don't get the economy moving again soon, it is going to have worse effects than shutting down from the virus. Most places seem to have dodged the bullet on overwhelming the health care system, and it's time to get them moving again before all the hospitals go bankrupt More of Him...less of me.twitter.com/camiracle77www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=691241499&ref=name |

| Sorry Eddie, but I think you are very wrong in thinking the economy is going to be fine. Major corporations are bleeding their cash reserves and there is little demand for their products. Will the lockdown produce a huge pent up demand for goods? Who can say for sure?You mentioned Disney. Beginning Saturday their salaried employees are being furloughed until further notice. Every beach town here in Florida is a ghost town, and restaurant and bar owners are hanging on by a thread, and that for not much longer.I retired from a well known automotive manufacturer. They have been shut down for weeks, and tomorrow will announce drastic reductions to exempt and salaried positions. Add to this incentives to entice workers to retire early because they do not see our economy coming back for a long, long time. In addition, insurance benefits are going to be cut because they simply cannot afford to provide such a high level of benefits. They, like so many others, are in survival mode.I seriously hope you are right and I am dead wrong, but I don’t think I am. I think if we don’t get the economy fired up ASAP we are going to sink into a major depression from which we may never recover from. Sorry to be such a pessimist but that’s my take on it “Hell will be filled with people that didn’t cuss, didn’t drink, and may even have been baptized. Why? Because none of those things makes someone a Christian.” |

| No matter how you cut it, the economy is not going to be fine. Some will struggle for a few years just to TRY to catch up. Americans like to live in debt it seems, now many families will be trying to catch up on a house payment, two car payments, CC payments and what ever toys they have financed. It scares me for them.
