    Are they gonna cut me a check or not

    It depends.

    If you make sky high stacks, nope.

    a working stiff like the rest of us..... maybe.

    I reckon any scratch coming from the government will be taxed at the most confiscatory rates imaginable.

    Precisely why all my friends with medical practices REFUSE to touch one cent from impending Government stimulus cheques and business bail outs.

    Ok, on my mind.

    If something like this coronavirus is happening now, something I would never have thought could happen.. now I'm seeing the possibility of in years to come there could be an even worse virus that has the potential to wipe out most of humanity.

    Yes. I’m viewing this as a practice run

    Eta: i just hope there’s breathing space between calamities

    Yep..

    I agree about some space.. here in Australia it feels like one thing after another 🙁

    I'm just thinking this could turn into something where we are hit by something like this every year or 2... But progressively getting worse...

    Right?

    I heard the CEO of FedEx say that we would have a 'V' Shaped Recovery (let's hope he's right ).

    How far will the Dow drop? Down to 15K? 13K Lower? (let's hope not).

    What will the government do to spur recovery ? Time will tell.

    The media certainly isn't acting in our best interest, Just my humble opinion.

    My father's friend has him convinced that spy satellites over China have revealed mass Graves where they are secretly burying millions that have died from the virus...

    I sigh and try to laugh...

    On my mind... long term unemployment, financial fear, living on savings, fighting depression, striving (& failing, mostly) to stay active, when will I run out of food & keeping occupied with valuable things. I'm emotionally exhausted.

    I need better lighting in my house, but I don't know if any stores are open so I can buy a floor lamp. I think the interior darkness is keeping me in a funk... & even though I'm in sunny FL, my apt is in the back of the bldg & gets zero sunshine (it always feels like 9pm in the apt)... so, it feels dark & dreary & cold cuz the a/c needs to be on.

    < Insert huge sigh > I need a high wattage lamp to boost my mood. I'll see if there's some store open tomorrow so I can buy one... I can't take another day of feeling grim & barely being able to function... it's been going on for 3-mos now. And, now that I'm stuck in an interviewing limbo with the lockdown... I don't want it to add to what's already feeling overwhelming.

    Tomorrow will be a better day. :smile: I need to remember how lucky I am.

    right...me too
    how is this sustainable?
    I'm scared
    I don't understand the financial impact (not that I have savings) but it seems like a grim situation...
    ...and I am just scared

    I have a friend who is very experienced with animals and she is currently trying to rehab a duckling with neurological issues. I think it’s a lost cause.

    She has asked me if I would be willing to euthanize the poor little thing if it comes to that. With birds it’s a very up close and personal thing. 😢

    Probably why the universe has chosen you 😘

    A guy I used to be friends with just posted something and this line stuck out to me big time. I asked him if I could repost.

    “Everyone’s so worried about catching ms. corona but killing yourselves on a regular basis with the unhealthy choices you make on the daily.”

    Not everyone of course, but wow.

    I've thought about this before... We still go get fast-food and all and I ate half a box of Oreos yesterday 🤷🏽‍♂️....

    Most of our health issues today can be linked to the food industry... It's taboo to say that around here but so true
