I have it on good authority that the sky is falling. Henny Penny is the name of the prognosticator, and he is well respected in the field. He urges us to remain in our basements until the sky has finished falling.

Nice! Rats are a great choice because of their association with witchcraft and the plague. I was thinking you play up the aggressive stray dogs angle, or maybe bears in parks used to eating human trash who could (could!) wander into town and start eating babies, but rats are the superior choice especially since we've already done bats.
Read his post again he wasn't saying people are selfish he was saying "Some people say those who want to go back to work are selfish"As a friend, I’d ask you try to avoid anyone saying that this is selfish behavior. Being worried about the economic health of all others is far from that. Imho it’s about striking a balance. What Bolsonaro is promoting could also be seen as gambling with people. That’s sad as well.
The questions being asked are realy tough with lots of variables and too few facts, particularly early on
I simply cannot take it any longer. I’m driving my son and I about 20 miles to the next county over tomorrow so we can get haircuts.
Having just returned to work from 3 weeks off with covid people need to start returning to work if possible.
2.1 million more workers seed aid, raising the total layoffs since virus struck to over 40 million. YIKES!
Wonder if there’s a way to differentiate the economic effects between the disease itself and the measures taken to contain it.

I read it right. Just my post may have been poorly worded.Read his post again he wasn't saying people are selfish he was saying "Some people say those who want to go back to work are selfish"

If your a healthy 20,30 or 40 and even 50 it's time. If you have health issues stay home. Pretty simple
I don’t think they are. There are effects from forcing a business to close, and effects from people changing their habits due to their own precautions toward the disease and not forced restrictions.Aren't those one and the same? How would someone differentiate those when we had forced business closure?

Some people will be reticent to travel, or stay at a hotel. To take a cruise, etc. otoh forcing a business to close and removing that choice has an impact all to itself.
I think it’s greater, which is why I’d like to see an analysis.I strongly disagree. Changing their habits is due to the forced nature of what was done. People didn't all of the sudden decide they wanted to do this.
People might get take out now, but that is all part of the same COVID 101 handbook. FWIW, if you wanted to say they were separate, the idea of habits changing would be less than 1% in my opinion on spending vs what has been forced upon.

Right now travel is allowed, most places are opening back up. I think there will be a lasting effect. For me, personally, that has more to do with precautionary measures. I don’t envision a rush to get on cruise ships. And I’m not saying I’m right here. It’s fine to disagree and discuss or else this wouldn’t be a discussion forum.
But it’s something I’d like to see a further analysis on.
Do you know how much OEM companies have tied up in fixed costs? I’m curious if they are able to maintain any sort of margin percentage by cutting costs to match the loss in revenue.I will use an example. One of the largest OEMs in golf is down nearly 50% in sales year over year. How would habits changing play a role in that?
Or would you say forced closure of stores, courses, ranges and work (meaning less money) caused that damage?
Here is another one. One of the largest apparel manufacturers in North America (not golf) laid off nearly everybody and is hanging on by a thread to stay in business. They own and manufacturer for 17 brands sold in department stores and specialty shops. Would you say that is habit as nobody necessarily needs new clothes when they have no place to go? Or would you say forced closures to both their business and others killed any chance at success and 1100 people lost their jobs?
I know restaurants get a lot of conversation because it is the easiest example as everybody eats, but while there is no doubt for some habits will change, demand is lost, etc. The forced closure of our country is what caused a huge chunk in unemployment.

Clackamas (furthest from me) is open, Washington (my county open 6/1), Multnomah (where Portland is located) is still closed and has no announced plans to reopen.The tricounty still shut down?

And I agree it's okay to debate and disagree.
I grew up in Washington County. Not surprised the Multnomah is shut down with no plans to reopen.Clackamas (furthest from me) is open, Washington (my county open 6/1), Multnomah (where Portland is located) is still closed and has no announced plans to reopen.
