I can think of at least 3 different ways we could handle this and accomplish the social distancing without shutting down the country. Can you? Someone in LEADERSHIP actually needs to get creative so business can go on.
Not creative enough. Essential is silly. Some essential jobs are too close, while'st my apparently non-essential real estate photography portion of the job, and flying a drone, may not be essential, but requires almost 0 contact with other humans. So this is BS. I should be able to do my job if I can adequately social-distance. And it's further BS because I can still go out and do essential stuff on a construction contract or say I'm gathering "news" (which I've actually done before).
Paid?
Nah.
It's pro bono.
Anybody here watch the Netflix series "Designated Survivor"???
Premise based on real-life US federal actions where a cabinet member is safely sequestered away during events like State of the Union addresses. You can easily guess the main story line.
Anyway, to my point:
Season 2, Episode 3.
10/11/2017 release. Entitled "Outbreak".
Storyline is the federal response to a virulent spreading deadly viral epidemic that started in a Chinese animal market.
Amazing the number of uncannily similar parallels.
It's as though the the screenplay writers of Designated Survivor traveled this China to engineer to current pandemic storyline!!!
I liked that show until it devolved into an anti-2nd Amendment Republican that only wanted sensible "gun control".......got the ax.
Almost exactly correct.
Our current course is not postponing the inevitable, rather it is spreading the inevitable over a much longer time such that it is medically manageable by our caregivers and physical facilities..
With a vaccine 12-18 months away and an unlikely miracle drug furiously being sought this will certainly drag out into 2021. Therein lies the financial devastation yet ahead.
.................
Two things:
1. We are living the age-old adage that there is "No cure for the common cold"
There is no acute viral syndrome that responds well to pharmacologic intervention. Name one.
2. A vaccine is a profound unknown. Something like 37 COVID surface antigens are being investigated.
...................
If a COVID vaccine proves to be like measles or polio or smallpox this pandemic will abruptly and definitively end. As a perk we may finally find a truely effective influenza vaccine. Bonus!!
If, on the other hand, the virus and an eventual COVID vaccine is ultimately similar in behavior to seasonal influenza we may be re-living this next April.
I've rarely, if ever, found myself saying "we don't know" so blazingly often to those seeking answers.

Did you know that this kid is the U.S. Surgeon General?
Whatever he says must be true then...…….
Our hospital system has designated 2 of our hospitals to take any corona patients. Census across the board is down overall with the decrease in non emergent procedures. We're prepared in case cases start really ramping up over the next couple weeks. My hospital is the last in line to keep patients if it gets crazy.
....
Has anyone taken note of the current predictions, likely to become fact, that the number of Texans that will die over the next several weeks will equal the number of ALL American soldiers that died storming the beaches on D-Day?
Many fathers, mothers, children and loved ones cried over their dead and buried servicemen after D-Day.
Save yer breath.HKS, several times you have been asked direct questions, that appears to me that you are either deflecting, or declining to answer. Hmmm....
That Shoobee character did exactly the same thing. And he as well, preached doom and gloom in many of his posts and threads.
Coincidence? Hmmm...... I am not a huge believer in coincidence. Never have been.
But, I'll give you an opportunity to try and set the record straight.
Exactly what is your job title, and exactly what are the tasks you are responsible for making sure are done?
What company, or career do you work for, or in?
Personally, I don't care if you are Shoobee reinvented, or just some other moron who's ideology is similar. You're just a troll!
Save yer breath.
