Even though my business has been slashed by 80%, I think I can hang on. Im going to keep fighting and try not to need any government money. Grateful that Im getting paid now for work I did 2 years ago. So much of my work has to go thru litigation before I get paid

Thanks guns. I called every creditor I could think of to get some forbearance and I am not paying any employees. So Ive been able to slash my overhead down to almost nothing. The phone company is giving me a free month of phone and internet in my office. Had plans on finishing the remodel on my house and that is on hold now. My kitchen is completely demolished and it is probably going to stay that way for who knows how long. The floor is ripped up and have no sink or stove, just a microwave, oven and a fridge. Im washing dishes in the bathroom sink. haha
I wonder how some businesses are going to survive. I wonder if movie theaters will ever recover from this. I am sure not eager to go sit in a movie theater with a bunch of people. I dont know if I want to be sitting on an airplane any time soon either. This has destroyed a lot of lives. The shutdown is going to do way more damage than the virus ever could.

Hmmm I read this post 5 times and tried to look at from a lot of views. I have one question.
HOW THE FUCK COULD A SHUTDOWN BE WORSE THAN A FUCKING HUMAN BEING LOSING THEIR LIFE?
Something that really put this in perspective for me was the thought of me getting infected and dying in the hospital alone without my family and what damage it would be for my son to lose me without getting to spend my final days with me. And yes I have underlying conditions before anyone says “you would t die”. I have asthma and also high blood pressure and a family history of cardiac events. What really put the nail in the coffin for me is the idea that I unknowingly bring it home and my son Gets sick and ends up in the hospital alone with out us. It would tear me apart knowing he was without any loved ones. And if I lost him that way i would never recover from it.
"No model or guesswork is required to foresee the deadly impact. Job losses cause extreme suffering. Every 1% hike in the unemployment rate will likely produce a 3.3% increase in drug overdose deaths and a 0.99% increase in suicides according to data provided by the National Bureau of Economic Research and the medical journal Lancet. These are facts based on experience, not models. If unemployment hits 32%, some 77,000 Americans are likely to die from suicide and drug overdoses as a result of layoffs. Scientists call these fatalities deaths of despair.
Then add the predictable deaths from alcohol abuse caused by unemployment. Health economist Michael French from the University of Miami and a co-author found a "significant association between job loss" and binge drinking and alcoholism.
The impact of layoffs goes beyond suicide, drug overdosing and drinking. Overall, the death rate for an unemployed person is 63% higher than for someone with a job, according to findings in Social Science & Medicine.
Layoff-related deaths are likely to far outnumber the 60,400 coronavirus deaths predicted through August
This comparison is not meant to understate the horror of coronavirus for those who get it and their families."

haha...Im good man. This board is "live and let live" and everybody supports everybody in spite of differences, so it's pretty rare to see someone wanting to be argumentative about anything. Waste of time.
Im heading back to my second job in 2 hours which was shut down for 3 weeks. Will I be coming into contact with covid 19 today at work? Probably. These people have no choice. They are making things that go to New York hospitals. They dont have the luxury of staying home so I am going deep into the eye of the storm to help them, one day a week. Geared up on PPE of course LOL Have a good Tuesday. USA!!!USA!!!
Who got one? I guess Im not eligible. No stimulus check for me. I would love to get one and I would stimulate the economy by buying a rototiller so I can get this buffalo grass planted
Got ours and paid a bill and wAiting to have dead area returfed in the backyard with the rest. Nothing else to use it on being locked down by the state Governor
