    I don't get job losses. So you can't work for a few weeks. It takes longer for an emoyee to fire you, hire someone else and train them up plus they lose more time and workload trying to find someone.

    Seems dumb to me.

    If COVID-19 forces Planned Parenthood to be closed for two weeks, the virus will have SAVED more lives than it has taken.

    Makes sense to have a dedicated 'rona chat thread since it is slowly taking over all our lives lol

    A Moveable Feast is what really got me into him. It isnt fiction; it's more of a memoir of his time spent in Paris as a young writer. It features stories about Fitzgerald, T.S. Eliot, Ezra Pound, Gertrude Stein..its so good.

    There's a great little story in there about how T.S. Eliot was working in a bank at the time, and their literary crew decided he was far too talented to work in a bank so they started a save T.S. Eliot from the bank fund.. it's basically my favorite story of all time. I'm clearly not doing it justice here lol

    Also...Men Without Women. It's a collection of short stories and I think his writing style is well suited to short stories

    Not sure how German business works but when I worked as a manager, I had to cut people's hours and let them go whenever we were not making profit. And the business was dictated by the seasons to an extent so it happened somewhat rapidly.

    It's tough for me to imagine many businesses dealing with the loss of sales and impact from coronavirus.

    In Massachusetts we just went from 256 cases of the Coronavirus to 328 over the past 24 hours

    Testing is exposing the hard truth - we're fucked!

    Also, Boston Celtics point guard Marcus Smart has announced he’s been diagnosed with COVID-19

    "So far, the new coronavirus has led to more than 220,000 illnesses and more than 9,300 deaths worldwide. But that's nothing compared with the flu, also called influenza. In the U.S. alone, the flu has caused an estimated 36 million illnesses, 370,000 hospitalizations and 22,000 deaths this season, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC)"

    How does the new coronavirus compare with the flu? | Live Science

    Just saying
