With the new announcement, my brother-in-law is completely closing his bar/restaurant until May 1. He had been open for take-out orders during the prior social distancing orders, but he can’t keep doing it through May 1. He’s hemorrhaging cash trying to keep some of his staff working. If he continued operating like this, he’d be permanently shuttered by EOM.

Originally posted by rufus View PostI say, screw it all, and just make this simple. No bailouts for big corp. If they didn't sock money away for a rainy day, tough. If they're in desperate straits when this is over, then we can figure something out. Business owners, especially big corporations, ought to be able to weather a few months of downtime. They can always go to the banks if they need money, like everybody else.
Money for hospitals, first responders, equipment and supplies. Companies can't lay people off or force them to take extended leave. They continue to pay them their salaries, government reimburses.
Simple, clean, immediate help and economic stimulus.
The "economy", meaning the Dow, will snap back, it always does. It may take a while, but it will. That's not the priority here. It may be the priority for someone's re-election, but that's not a priority here either.

My USG customer just specified that anyone returning from the NYC metro area must self-isolate for 14 days before entering a USG facility.
That's going to have a huge impact if it applies across the whole government. As in, rock-ribbed fiscal conservatives will start not getting their welfare checks on time.Cornell University

He can take the shot Biden cant. Just like Biden could take the "Gay Marriage" bullet before Obama could.
