Yes, it is possible to move from Lincoln to NYC and do a job in healthcare without being political. Not everyone bases everything in their life around politics; including performing their job.

No they'll let them die and put them in refrigerated trucks so the media can see and make a point.
And that point is GTFO of NYC asap.
And, that is just appeasement to the masses. I'm in the process of filing "loan" applications where I work for 3 separate companies under the PPP part of the bill to get 2.5 times our monthly payroll costs. This is not really a loan, because if we pay that money out for payroll, rent, utilities, mortgage payments over the next 8 weeks after funding, the federal gov't forgives it all and we don't have to pay any of it back, including interest. $350 billion of grants out of thin air, a lot of which is going to end up in rich guys' pockets.
We will never know what would have happened ie cost of lives...if we wouldnt have done all these things. This really lends to ethics.....
Sasse caught a lot of crap for holding that up, but I understood where he was coming from. He was basically saying that by doing that, they were just giving companies an incentive to lay employees off knowing that the employee would have a fallback with the extra $600 a week.
But, we will. We will have Sweden as a model of how this plays out unabated.
My wife owns a daycare. I told her that she should go out and get one of these “loans” to help pay the rent, utilities, etc and then close the daycare and file for unemployment. I was only half serious. Maybe.
I was thinking in terms of lives lost...if we hadn't encouraged social distancing etc. I lived in Sweden for a year. Nope

You have to keep 75% of your payroll over that period or the amount forgiven will be reduced.
Sweden will give us the percentages. You can base everything off of that. And, as far as lives lost. There have been far less lives lost over the past four weeks than the averages at this time for the past five years.
Dammit!!!!!
She actually has no payroll. She does it by herself.
If you file schedule C and pay self employment tax, you can still apply.
I am sensitive to some of what is being put in place. Landlords can't evict renters for non-payment. What if this goes on for three months. I know someone who owns 50 units across town. He has mortgages. So he is out the money at the end of this? You know not everyone is going to catch up on rent. So what does the bank do with the owner who gets behind in bank notes....because the govt said renters couldnt be evicted?
We have created a lot of this ourselves. As a society we have demanded a lot of bail outs. Sure, I will take the $1200. But I wasnt expecting it....I dont think I am entitled....even though it has affected my work $$ a little bit

I think under the bill, you can't evict if you have a government backed loan on the the property. Others are free to do so. However, the courts in that particular state may be closed at the moment holding up the eviction process. I'm in Missouri and the courts are closed until 5/1/20, but you can file now to get in line. A lot of property owners are getting 90 day pauses on their loans where they don't have to make payments for the next 90 days, no interest accrual, and the missed payments are made up on the back end.
I agree the amount is probably too high and I'm surprised it was written the way it was. But even then that part of the bill was going to account for a small fraction of the funds. Would it really be worth delaying the emergency relief bill when you know damn well the Democrats are going to bring up the issue of oversight to companies who are also receiving funds? Everything in that bill including aid to hospitals, businesses, etc. could have been delayed weeks if the Republicans would have thrown a fit about unemployment being too high.

Your wife is a great woman, and the daycare system should be shown praise during this time as well. We are so grateful that our daycare has remained open and the steps they have taken to keep it clean in there. We've bought lunch twice now for all of the teachers and also are buying gift cards for groceries for the couple of teachers who work with our kids that are laid off. These are crazy times and daycare personnel are very underappreciated.
I'm still waiting for a single email from anyone I do business with on any level telling me I don't have to make this months payment on whatever...haven't got one yet. Interesting, because for some reason my bank thinks I care about what they're recommendations are for the virus, or some car dealership I bought a car from years ago. If you ask me it's a sneaky way they're reminding us of our financial obligations even though they know many people are hurting and will be unable to pay their bills.
She has really struggled with what to do with her daycare. She’s contacted the state to get guidance from them on what to do. It’s really made a lot more work for her with keeping the place clean and sanitized. Making sure the kids constantly wash and sanitize.
She put out a notice to the parents that of the child or a family member has a fever or any kind of sickness, to keep them home. She has parents that are bad about bringing kids when they are sick and then spreading it to others. She’s seen it all with them. I don’t know how many times a parent knows their kid has a fever, but loads them up on Tylenol and brings them anyway only to have it wear off a few hours later and the fever come back. I know parents struggle with work and kids but they don’t understand what it does to a daycare or school when they bring sick kids and expose them to other kids.
It’s really been a worry for us if she does have to close at some point, but we will get by. I don’t really want to have her apply for unemployment because the process looks painful. I was told by someone who has had to file that they were told that in a normal time that it would take 21 days to process their claim. Well, we know it isn’t a normal time right now.

That tent hospital to hold a whopping 64 patients?
The hospital ship is to treat non covid patients.
Many many people look to Scandinavia as a beacon for ethics/morals when it comes to public policy, as well.
What is it? Better 99 guilty go free than one innocent is found guilty for something they didn't do.
The value is as we place it. Up to 2 million usa lives.
Are we worth a million bucks?
I believe there are approximately 44 med ICU beds at the Univ of Nebraska Med Center
64 beds would be the equivalent of adding 2-3 entire floors to a hospital tower

What I find interesting is there are people still down playing this as something like the flu. RIght now if the death rate keeps growing as it is two weeks from now the US will have 160,000 deaths on account of the coronavirus. IMO that puts in perspective why we should all be very concerned!
Huge difference, forced by government layoffs vs lousy economy.
The new job market,commerce is fertile, no humps to jump, it's all there to restart in fertile ground.
Add in, if folks haven't cashed out their 401s etc, theyll be in a much better position to jump back in.
The stim package back then never got to the folks, and food stamps were encouraged, things never existed back then that are waiting for us today.
It goes beyond just mortality rate. Those early warnings of folks having their lungs effected, having learned why, now I see why, many will be damaged for life after this. Flu just doesn't make that happen.
Yah I mean its not like the economy dropped out on its own. Other factors....kicking the financial can for decades and then force stopping the economy may just trigger those chain reactions. You don't just stop those by going back into the office.
The stimulus bill allows folks easy access to their 401k so that is something to keep an eye on. The fact that they added that function tells me they expect people to do it in large numbers.
Also remains to be see what structure remains in place after this is all over. If you lose a huge percentage of small business in the next couple months it'll be a slower start than it otherwise should have been (or even large business for that matter). On this point, the Donald has certainly been nervous.
There will be more stimulus, I'm fairly certain on that. But I could easily be wrong.
I saw an article in the recent past that said the median net worth of Americans is about 97K. Assuming that your value is the amount of money you could expend to save yourself, then we're worth about 100k each.
Coincidentally, I believe the Dept of Labor will pay my wife 100k if I die as part of my federal death benefits. Its been a minute since I looked up the particulars on that.
