“There is a very good income for owning a business or restaurant but they knew the risks.”

Actually when I started my small business ten years ago I thought I lived in a free country, some of whose citizens might be willing to risk their lives for the sake of liberty. Obviously I did not know the risks I faced.

I am fortunate that I have saved a lot and have skills that can be used in the new “safe” economy. For those less fortunate I guess we can remember Hillary Clinton’s prescient words: “We can’t be responsible for every under-capitalized small business out there.”

Well, from all you've written you will succeed:
You saved your money.
You have skills that can be used in the new "safe" economy.
Too many Americans rely too much on their job. They believe that the job will always be there.

They CAN go back to school and learn another trade. My mother started law school at 55 years old. She took the bar exam at 60 years old, passed it the first time and put out her shingle.
She also started art school: etching and water color.

My father had passed away and we lived overseas so she needed something to do. She had the will, the brains and the tenacity to do it. She also worked during those law school years. My sister and brother-in-law only saw her in the evenings.
It was worth for her. Then my sister passed away and that broke her. We came home a few months later and tried to heal our wounds. My mother never got over the deaths and was never the same. She stopped working at 80 years old and lived longer...

Hillary Clinton is, possibly, the COLDEST, most calculating, dishonest ahole I've ever seen or heard. She is FAR worse than ole Lewdinsky-banger.

The data for week 14 on the CDC site is not yet complete. I made this mistake a month ago when looking at the CDC data for week 10. The total deaths went from 48,000 to 52,000 even though the CDC site said the 48,000 number was > 100% complete.

, it now appears that the overall U.S. death rate this winter season is at a multi-year low, no worse than 2014, 2016, and 2019, and far better than 2015, 2017, and 2018

Which is suspicious in the light of deaths from pneumonia. The CDC shows just 206 deaths nationwide by the flu in the last weekly (week 15) count. But while the CDC provides the Number of Pneumonia Deaths, and Deaths with Pneumonia and COVID-19 together, yet I cannot find numbers for Deaths with Pneumonia and Influenza together.

It lists 4,163 Pneumonia Deaths for week 15 (4/11/2020) and 1,947 Deaths with Pneumonia and COVID-19 (including presumed Covid) together, and (contradicting itself) 343 Influenza Deaths, but I cannot find any actual numbers for deaths by pneumonia and influenza together. The only data I can find for Deaths Due to Pneumonia and Influenza is a page that states "The percentage of deaths attributed to pneumonia and influenza is 11.9%, above the epidemic threshold of 7.0%". but not any counts, and a graph and data source that also only provide a percent.

Then the CDC reports for week 15 that "Laboratory confirmed flu activity as reported by clinical laboratories is now low" even though hospitalizations remain high.. .

And yet it provides this image:
