Trust me the rich will get richer after all this, we will all be footing the bill.
And as for freedom, the quicker people follow the rules and stop being stubborn idiots (think Harry R. Truman on Mount St. Helens) complaining about a governmental crackdown then this will all be over.

Its still an expense, whether it was paid in full at purchase or financed. And the depreciation expense is amortized from 27.5 to 39 years depending on the type of property

The biggest lockdown in America is our youth. The age group with the best immune system in the world is American kids. Public schools and Universities shut down. No vaccine but fear prevents our children from building natural immunity. But it’s okay for “essentials” to go to work. Makes no sense.

That would be me, the 54 year-old prof who has a fairly remote but certainly not-nill chance of spending the last 3 days of my life drowning inside a ventilator. But thanks, though.

Mar 29, 2020, 2:00 PM

right thing and I'm all for it. The main concern at this stage is the medical system being overloaded due to how rapidly and easily covid19 spreads. At some point, however, the economy will have to get cranked back up, or the consequences will be catastrophic if we wait too long.

I figure that in another 8 weeks or so, half of us will have been exposed, and those who survive will be immune from further infection. By then we'll be closer to a vaccine and theraputic treatments, hostpitals will be better equipped to handle it, and hopefully warm weather will help slow the spread.

I’m hoping China just has a bad batch of tests, but they are finding people who tested positive, then negative, then positive again. That’s not good from a transmission standpoint.

Mar 29, 2020, 2:51 PM [ in reply to I agree with your sentiments. Though I’m concerned about the reinfection possibility. ]

for termination. WE KEEP the antibodies. This is a coronavirus not a flu virus, it mutates very little. Once you have antibodies you are immune. It's basic science.

Think!

Testing negative and then testing positive does NOT mean reinfection. If you are successfully fighting a virus, they the virus count goes way down. Maybe the swab wasn't up your nose far enough and that swab didn't get virus, the next swab did.

Reinfection is highly unlikely.

If you know people who work or have lived in China (I know many), the common theme is that they never tell the truth. That goes for the government and individual Chinese that my friends worked for.
