Ok, so all health officials and the WHO are saying relaxing restrictions is a very bad idea right now.

If restrictions are relaxed and numbers jump, "no one" can say, "Nobody knew. It's not my fault."

Or they can say it (and probably will), but folks hopefully won't believe it.

Okay gents...I'm the first admit I've gone way too far with some of my recent posts.

Apologies if I've insulted anyone, and I'm just going to ignore those who are eliciting that type of response.

I hope we can all stay on track re: the Coronavirus. Admittedly it can be difficult when it is gets tied up into political policy, but I'm going to try and stick to the topic...

Appreciate all the good insight in this thread so far and @IcyPatriot who frankly could have kicked my ass out the door and been in the right.

Nothing is happening right now. The target date is mid-April and that is not hard and fast depending on how things progress. This is not an all or nothing proposition. The idea is to open up some things, see how things go and proceed accordingly with social distancing at the forefont allowing for work spaces to be modified to keep everything in step.

How coronavirus took just weeks to overwhelm Spain

Spain basically didn't take it very seriously and are paying a huge price right now. Hope the US doesn't make the same mistake.

Yeah it's tough especially with the couple of really really smart and pretty gentlemen commenting on the issue that they clearly know whole lot about.

106 new U.S. deaths today; 886 total U.S. deaths.

Very possible we crest the 1,000 mark by end of day.

Washington state radio station won't air Trump briefings because of 'false or misleading information'

Ok, let's stick to the virus. It is completely out of control in the U.S. I predict we will be #1 in cases and #1 in deaths before this is over due to lack of testing, lack of leadership on the federal level, and willful ignorance of the American people who have been led to believe they are the "best" and "special" and the virus is a "hoax". Our medical personnel are true heroes who are bringing a knife to a gun fight in the coming weeks. I seriously believe we are going into another Great Depression and this will take minimum 18-24 months to play out. And yes, before you embarrass yourself, I have doctorate level background in chemistry and health sciences. We are in deep doo doo.

Too late. Way too late.

We are in for a very rough two months, and looking at years to recover.

Correctamundo!

And we will desperately need help from the rest of the world, including China.

A few weeks will be premature.

A few weeks for what? Are you expecting some sort of effect from this bill? You will be disappointed.

Sure the market will rebound for a day or two, but as the bodies start piling up and more and more people become unemployed, the market will take another massive slide.

Dow Jones lost 54% of it's value in the 2008 recession. That record will be easily broken.

I've said it before, I'll said it again, nothing happens to the economy until something happens to the pandemic.

Is there anything in that package that seriously addresses the pandemic? No. It's just a big corporate bailout for corporations that don't need it.

In a Tuesday interview on Fox, Boeing chief executive Dave Calhoun said he would not be willing to give the government an equity stake in the company in exchange for a bailout, implying the company would only accept assistance on its own terms…

“If they force it, we just look at all the other options, and we’ve got plenty of them,” Calhoun said.

Threads open! Thanks dad!

I am also completely annoyed at the war on expertise and intelligence that has been going for years now in the USA. If you think it's all BS and a "democratic attack on Trump" I encourage you to get on a cruise ship, do some traveling and enjoy your life. The sooner we are rid of morons in the USA who think their uneducated opinion is just as valid as the experts, the better off we will be in the long run. Rant off!

Individual liberty and the public good. We like to think that both are simultaneously attainable but as the virus has made it very clear - there are societal scale problems where we do need to choose a side.

You made a general prediction.

My point is in your timeframe in which you'll say everything will be ****ed in weeks is too soon. Depending on the industry, the company, its competition, financial health and fundamentals outcomes will vary. Some are being crushed now and are doomed. Some it'll take a few months or a year. Some will come out of it ok without bailout $ sustaining their operations.
