Half of those deaths, which rose by four Friday, have occurred in congregate living facilities such as assisted living homes and nursing homes, said Dr. Eric McDonald, the county’s medical director of epidemiology.

I don't see people willing to let their business commit suicide since over 78% of people over 70 dying...Sigh. And I'm seeing signs that small businesses are saying the heck with the govt and are opening up (in a limited way most times) again.
And a lot of that can be attributed to lack of PPP funds. Business owners are not going to sit back and watch their sweat, blood, and tears go down the drain.Sigh. And I'm seeing signs that small businesses are saying the heck with the govt and are opening up (in a limited way most times) again.
^This^. Small business feels screwed over, and for good reason. I, for one, am wanting some butt!And a lot of that can be attributed to lack of PPP funds. Business owners are not going to sit back and watch their sweat, blood, and tears go down the drain.
I’m afraid many businesses shut down or struggling for survival without PPP funding will begin letting even more employees go to trim payroll and other expenses since there is now no incentive to retain current payroll levels.^This^. Small business feels screwed over, and for good reason. I, for one, and wanting some butt!
Just chatted with a friend of mine who is a banker and he said the lawsuits are already being filed.
I haven't either and probably won't at this point. But it still sucks bigtime! I want some butt!I’m not wasting precious cash on a lawsuit but I’m done expecting the goobermint to be of any positive assistance. As another poster here said, I’ve never taken a handout and my business has never borrowed a dime (knock on wood). We’ll find a way.
Many of the thrift stores here in White County started opening back up today. I hope they get shut down.Sigh. And I'm seeing signs that small businesses are saying the heck with the govt and are opening up (in a limited way most times) again.
Honestly, now that people are trained to stand on the line markers for 6 feet distancing, using face masks, and stores have gotten plexiglass screens up to distance customers breathing on cashiers, I see a new normal... at least until this passes.Many of the thrift stores here in White County started opening back up today.

Once I leave work, I don't go to any store unless I absolutely need something. On those few occasions I have been in a store, I see far more people violating the social distancing guidelines than I do adhering to them. I had to stop in Ingle's the other to get some milk. The store had put arrows on the floor making aisles one-way; very few people were following that. I stood at least 6' behind the person in front of me while in line to check out. Some guy stood no more than 2' behind me. While walking through the store, I saw many people standing face-to-face no more than 2' apart having those "I haven't seen you in awhile" conversations.Honestly, now that people are trained to stand on the line markers for 6 feet distancing, using face masks, and stores have gotten plexiglass screens up to distance customers breathing on cashiers, I see a new normal... at least until this passes.
Thrift stores will soon have the same thing as the "essential" stores who are currently open. They will be even more "essential" after the economic bloodbath Covid -19 represents to our citizens. I am not sure why they were closed.
The lockdown was never intended to remain in effect until every case ran its course, it was intended to prevent overrunning our healthcare system.
Our hourly employees have been away from work now for 4 weeks. The employer has been paying them for 30 hours a week and they get partial unemployment for the other 10 hours. People who had to leave their jobs because of the pandemic are getting unemployment plus another $600 a week, so they are able to pay their bills. Hell some are making more money now than they were when they were working. The legislation passed by Congress and signed into law by Trump also makes the self-employed and contractors eligible for unemployment benefits.Your point is well taken but there’s also another to consider. You began with “Once I leave work....” so you’re still blessed with a livelihood. Many are not as fortunate and face the real threat of losing everything they’ve worked towards their entire adult lifetime. The lockdown was never intended to remain in effect until every case ran its course, it was intended to prevent overrunning our healthcare system. I suggest we’ve accomplished exactly that and it’s now time to begin the re-opening process. For those in high risk health categories, including those overcome with fear and anxiety about getting out, by all means continue sheltering in place. For others willing to accept the risks associated with getting back to work by all means do so while practicing good safety precautions.
