It seems this will be better in May as some indications state.

Interesting if this passes. I’m still working full time and now doing a lot of overtime.

Did not say that. FAKE NEWS.

Did Epoch Times get this from The Sun? Because it tracks suspiciously close to what The Sun reported.

- see http://freerepublic.com/focus/chat/3827099/posts?page=93#93

The rest of the headline from The Sun:
“...as Mnuchin tells 80m to prepare for 12-week shutdown”

and in the body of the story is says:

“Mnuchin says that families could be locked down for up to twelve weeks.”

What Mnuchin did say is that the fiscal stimulus package:

“I would say we’re looking at this from anywhere to a 10 to 12 week scenario.”

It’s fake. Never said that. Was referring to the financial package only.

It’s hard not to start to think that this raft of fake news before the futures open is trying to gimp the market.

They said 15 days

And we’re just about halfway thought that.

15 days and then let the healthy go back to work. The at-risk can stay at home.

Which is what should have been done about this whole thing from the start...

10-12 weeks is too long. Small business won’t last and will never come back. Can you imagine Gen Z working to build this country after the depression we’re gonna have?

That’s delightful, because in 2018, I was making good money. This is 2020.

"Beg your pardon, but, from the article:"

I already responded to this quote. Notice where the quote marks are. Now, what did he actually say?

I can’t believe everyone is behaving themselves. This seems like a year already.

Two weeks is already killing small business. They can’t shut down everywhere for more than two weeks or that V line recovery starts becoming a pipe dream. OK they’re trying to flatten the curve, fine, we’ll have to deal with it at this point.

Unfortunately, after watching NYC this weekend and spring break this past week, all of the Gen-Zers and millennials out and about screwing around, I suspect the shutdowns ultimately won’t flatten the curve significantly.

Everyone gets a check, see, that way you’ll support the communist plan.

This is the story of the little boy who rang a bell in the city center. When asked why, he said to keep away the elephants. When told there are no elephants, he said, “See? It works!”

This is the communist using this “crisis” to implement communism, to keep the elephant virus away by ringing the communist bell of handing everything over to the government.

Phase 1 was gaslighting the sheeple into thinking they will die without government intervention.

Phase 2 is control the people and shutdown of their businesses.

Phase 3 is government providing payment for business rents and payroll.

Phase 4 is the government simply stating that since the government already pays for everything that the government now owns the businesses.

Communism complete: Total control of the sheeple and a complete takeover of commerce.

The liberal States of Washington, Pennsylvania, California, Colorado, and New Jersey have implemented martial law, selecting which businesses must close and that the people must stay indoors. This isn’t a quarantine; this is martial law. Just because the communists are using the virus as an excuse doesn’t mean it is not martial law. When the government can tell you to stay home, implement curfews, and shut down businesses, it is martial law. Trump is in on this communist takeover. He is encouraging States to go into martial law and shut down businesses and lock everyone into their homes.

To get the people’s cooperation, the government is buying their cooperation. Each adult gets $1,000; $2,000 per couple but only if they make under $150k. Great, huh? Get taxed to give other people free money. Colorado is giving people a pass on parking tickets as though people can no longer seem to properly park. There are lots of free sh*t stories being reported.

Just as we were moving manufacturing back to America, the communists are closing those businesses making us rely on foreign imports again. Since Trump has surrounded himself with the communist healthcare workers, he is pushing the narrative and supporting “free” money which means both conservatives and liberals, alike, support him and this effort to take over the country by the communists.

We are past the tipping point. Americans are fully endorsing any and all measures. They actually want more closures. The drama queens are begging to have all their liberties taken away in the name of safety. They are begging for their businesses to close, thinking somehow Uncle Sugar will hand them money to live on instead of having to work.

For those of us not so stupid as to fall for this communism propaganda, we have the right to take on jobs and visit businesses of our own free will. This is the liberals taking away our right to choose.

The WHO estimates between 250,000 and 500,000 die worldwide from the flu. China had 81,000 infected of a population of 1.4 billion and have now lifted their quarantines and claim to have no new cases. South Korea with 8,600 cases likewise has seen a tremendous drop in new cases.

This virus so far is the typical flu level symptoms and treatment. Nothing to be taken lightly, but nothing to go and shut down the country for either.

Anyone feel stupid yet?

So you don’t know how is getting what, but you do know that it’s a horrible idea? Interesting. What, then, would be a great idea?
