Just got the word from work no hours through April 1, no kind of payment plan either.

Kinda the same here. After laying off roughly 40 people at work, the remainder of us are out. Today was my last day, but I go in Tuesday/Wednesday of next week because we still have some work. Luckily they are letting us use our vacation/sick pay to cover days off.
That isn't luck, that just sucks.

Would be nice if we can get some hand santizer/disinfectant/soap. TP is getting restocked here, there are pallets upon pallets in my smaller town stores, but none of the other essentials.

Well, some people aren’t prescient enough to recognize that buying far more of those materials than they need makes it so others might not be able to exercise proper sanitary practices, which only makes the problem worse.

For some reason people are buying a lot of milk. I guess in times of crisis people hoard milk ?

Tbf we can't send guys around with guns threatening to shoot anyone suspected of exposure who leaves their house

Are you sure you're an american? There is nothing america can't solve with guns.
Yeah but then the citizens would solve that problem solving problem with more guns!

Actually.... fight the virus with bullets all around!

I know, it actually does suck...but being one of the ones that were laid off would suck more. Some had over 20 years with us. We're an event-based company, providing large scale graphics nation-wide. So many events that we normally do have been at least postponed. Coachella, SXSW, sporting events...

Senate coronavirus vote delayed after Rand Paul pushes doomed amendment
Mitch McConnell had said he wanted to pass the bill at "warp speed."

NBCnews

TLDR: Rand Paul wants you to die broke, evicted, and on the street. OK, not really but he just can't resist grandstanding.

The beauty of guns is that they can't contract coronavirus and high-velocity lead poisoning isn't contagious.

Conservative Site Posts Damning Supercut Of Trump’s Lies About Coronavirus
On Jan. 22, Trump said he had no concerns coronavirus would become a pandemic. On Tuesday, he said he’d always known it would be one.

Quote:
CNN's Dana Bash lauded President Trump's tone on Tuesday afternoon following the White House's daily briefing on the coronavirus pandemic.

The network's chief political correspondent called him "the kind of leader that people need" amid the growing crisis.

The perspective from Bash comes as coronavirus cases surge this week and more drastic measures such as school closings, quarantines, gathering bans and business shutdowns occur throughout the country.

Let's see, "Conservative Site", ends up being "The Bulwark", led by Charlie Sykes and Bill Kristol, who have been never-Trumpers from the beginning. Gotta love these plays by the Left to make it look like Conservatives are turning against Trump when it's just people who have never been for him in the first place.

As for your second post, Chanti.... An NPR source, really? Keep the conspiracy theories in the dark where they belong. We don't need to politicize this crap even further with unproven nonsense.

thought health officials blocked early testing in seattle based on some patient privacy thing and the group that had the samples proceeded to test for it anyways

Look Kireek, if you are going to post the Daily Mail you could at least link to the nudes.

In other news the GOP has embraced socialism.

Stocks hit limit down again before the bell this morning. I guess Mnuchin was doomsdaying the Senate last night with talks of 20% unemployment. The Senate should at least pass the House bill today after they vote down Rand Paul's stupid amendment.

Good to know America is now fully embracing communism.

Completely ignoring kireek's nonsense, Andrew Yang has been having a good time with the Trump admin adopting his UBI plan. Despite what Trump is trying to claim (for the sole purpose of pumping up the stock market), we are a long way from that actually coming to pass. Its hard to see the GOP coming around on any kind of a stimulus package, and the Dems have already tossed out most of Trump's "ideas."

There is going to be a 3rd bill passed for sure, the airlines are going to be bailed out, and probably the hotel industry. Pelosi started working on it last week, but she hasn't really shared any details, just that the payroll tax cut is out.
