The $2 trillion dollar stimulus bill has not been published. No one knows with certainty what’s in it, including those who approved it.

Ok, so I am sitting here watching the live Board of County Commissioners emergency meeting for my county where they just unanimously voted to legally enforce a stay at home order. They are saying over and over about the importance of social distancing, washing your hands, etc. etc. And there are easily 20+ people in a room, standing or sitting directly next to each other while this is happening. The irony of this is hilarious to me.
Oh, and they had different people from the community as well as business owners, etc. pleading their cases and they all came to the same podium and put their hands all over it, and never once cleaned it between people.
Now, I will say they are talking with tech people to figure out how to do any future meetings as a video conference rather than all together in a room, but for now they are all together in a room, including the Sheriff.

Not everyone needs to go to college. The problem is there seems to be some kind of stigma if a person doesn't. People in the trades can make a very nice living doing something they enjoy, and sure there is an apprenticeship involved, but college isn't necessary.
I am thoughly amazed at all the New Yorkers who jumped on a plane the minute the SIP order was given, talk about only thinking of yourself. They should all be locked down on landing, I see Florida National Guard is meeting them and given them a 14 day stay at home but I doubt if they are selfish enough to get on a plane knowing they are a good chance of being infected they are going to ignore any other orders.

So true and can speak first hand. I'm in that boat even though it's a fine line made back and white by the IRS. They were kind enough to get me caught up from the past 3 years Paid in full. (Paid taxes mind you but fine tooth combed me to big numbers with deductions). Lesson learned.
With everything leading into this starting in January, companies were watching and my business model has been shut down. No technical improvements or asthetic visual tech improvements or new builds. Yep, already been three months without income, but I plan for that every year as this is usually a slow quarter.
I feel bad for those that are 1099 and don't plan, it is BAD times for that type if income.
Stimulous won't be coming their way if a big last year and if they try unemployment, how fast will that be denied.
This is my son's first work force experience with any of this and doesn't want help from unemployment. I respect that but if it's assistance is offered and no work available especially in this instance...take the help!
Isn't that one of the signs of the apocalypse? Now I'm worried.
Tried to make a tee time this morning and all the times disappeared. A call to the course resulted in "they are shutting us down". Bummer. The ones that were open did a great job of making it safe to play.
Stay at home order coming today for the counties in the Denver metro area.

This is infuriating me. They are all coming to Florida too for some reason. I hate to say it, but I wish they would just close down all domestic flights, or at least flights from NY and other hard hit areas. You want to contain this thing, stop letting people out of there.

Maryland schools now closed through April 24th. Not surprising but... we may go insane.

Nope, not from what I have been reading. They are flooding resorts, got an email about it.
It's a bit naive to think that some colleges and universities don't push an agenda. There are countless examples if you care to do a bit of research.

Agreed. Someone needs to be paying better attention to this. Common sense says if someone has it and heads in another direction it will go there as well.
And what conservatives there are on some campuses, many keep mum about it for fear of some kind of back lash. Freedom of speech for me, but not for thee, lol.
They should have done that a week ago and we would be a week into a two or three week shutdown. Instead it might to late to have any effect now. There are very few passengers on most flights anyway. Prohibit all air traffic would have been a bold and wise move. It would have effected me directly but it would be worth it to get to an end quicker.

I don't understand how anyone could vote for a bill if they don't know what's in it. I remember when Pelosi encouraged her colleagues to vote for Obamacare saying they could read what's in it after they pass the bill.

Looks like the lockdown will keep them in their rooms, I guess. I'm with you, airliners should just shut down flights out of NY, CA, and WA.

Agreed. I wish they had done it too.
This is the right thing to do under the circumstances, but impossible to police. There is nothing to stop a New Yorker from driving to Newark or Boston and flying from there. Or driving to Florida.
I am becoming convinced the best way out of this to get things working again as quickly as possible. That means testing as many people as possible and getting those at risk into isolation, those who have developed immunity back to work, and those in the middle managed. It will be a balancing act. It is a problem to implement on many levels. Here, regional hospitals are no longer testing ordinary citizens, instead reserving the test kits for health care professional and first responders.

Also not happening. That was part of the email. People aren't listening, they are flooding the pools and bars. The tables are all moved, no chairs to sit, but they are still "picking up their order" and then never leaving the bar. It's a real problem.

I think last night was more of a, "let's verbally agree to what we want, get it on paper, and then vote." I haven't seen anything saying hey we're gonna vote on something we haven't seen yet?

Agreed, but if you shut down the airports in and around those areas it helps. Some might decide to do the long drive, but not many. They are less likely to hop in a car and drive for 20 hours (or whatever it is) vs hop on a plane and be here in 3.
