...but those of you trying to make this look like some version of a Charles Dickens’ novel, are just over the top.

Please stop the "you". Uncalled for.

Re-positioning industry to make ventilators is important. It is a drop in the bucket compered to auto sales.

I'm concerned about what I project to be 17-25% unemployment by August, 2020. I think the big priority is to make sure lending and bank functions do not seize up. 2008 is some recent history on that.

I am talking about death rate, not unemployment.

Do you believe the economy closing for 2 months is going to cause a 2% death rate?

Cavuto is that you?

There’s 35% unemployment right now silly rabbit. But businesses are being paid to keep their payrolls or at least their rents paid. Nobody in govt employment is hurting. Little People are being encouraged to not give up their dreams. Some are using this opportunity to skill-up. So that when this passes, the ‘non-essential’ Little People go right back to 1% unemployment. And consumerism explodes into the stratosphere, especially for theatre, restaurants, amusements, new autos, outdoor gear and widgits. People will reward themselves for surviving. Bank on it.
