No like button here..... I see Doctor Faucci stated we might return to 'normal' by November, whatever normal means.
We as a country will never return to the way it was 2 months ago.
I suspect that things like social distancing and wearing face masks will be the norm for a long time.
I also have a feeling that despite Trump's wanting the economy to 'bounce back like it was before' ain't gonna happen, got a feeling that we, as a country, are headed into recessionary times.

Put my personal feelings aside I do understand Trump is between a rock and a hard place as well as all the other leaders. All this money that is being thrown at the problem is just a band-aid and sooner or later the well goes dry, then what? If people aren't working with no coming in for bills and worse yet food, it paints a really grim picture. Send people back to work right now and many more people die. Keep them home until the money runs out and people starve. Not a pretty place to be in. I hope I'm wrong about all that but I do believe we're not even close to the end of this unless there is some kind of miracle.
No miracles are gonna happen and a viable vaccine is a ways off.
The problem as I see it is, the goverent is bleeding money it don't have to placate the citizens.
When you 'pay' people in tax deferred unemployment benefits, there is no impetus to return to employment anyway (until the stimulus runs out) and by that time the central government will be insolvent.
The idea of throwing money at an issue is fine if, and I say if, the money is coming in. In the present scenario, it's all outgoing and no incoming.
Bad scenario. I have to say the Chinese had a perfect biological weapon, the Wuhan flu.
Keep in mind that the government is the nation's largest employer, but produces no tangible product and exists solely on tax dollars brought in. Nothing coming in and everything going out is a recipe for economic disaster.
I see this manifesting itself as at least a severe recession or possibly a depression combined with the central government becoming insolvent.

While I was trying to remain solvent this morning by working, my wife made me a "social distancing" mask. I know....but she didn't have any Kubota Orange material, but I do also own a JD tractor.

Nice mask. My wife made me one from an old tee shirt. Thought about wearing a pair of my Jockey briefs over my head and face but that would look strange..[emoji275]
Really don't need one, not going anywhere but if I did, I'd wear one and latex gloves too. Have a whole box of black ones

I used the latex gloves but really thought I could easily get cross contamination from them. I now have nothing on my hands and wash often or use sanitizer. If I have to pick something up or get gas for the car I slip on cotton gloves and remove when I am done. The gloves are then either washed or not used for a few days. I thought I was been too cautious when I was not even handling my mail until the post office was shut down due to an employee testing positive. No such thing as been too cautious.
This is a useful link. New EnglandJournal of Medicine is a good research journal, usually requiring an institutional or personal subscription, but they have put their covid articles for free access.

Wishing milk still got delivered a couple times a week to the front door....breaks my heart to see footage of a farmer dumping milk down the drain because bulk buyers for restaurants don't want it.
Seems like a more versatile food chain would be able to get milk to where it can be used. Fresh milk is in short supply at the grocery store. The shelf stable milk is not available, nor is powdered milk. Excess milk could be turned into these other long term storage forms if only the supply chains could reroute the milk. Everybody that cooked with milk or drank it at restaurants would probably still like to drink it if they could get it. Just hate to see it wasted.

When I was delivering milk way back sometimes the load would shift and I'd loose a case or 2 of milk and it was even hard to take back then. To see whats happening now is very painful. My wife uses Natrel lactose free which has a month date on it if not more.
Here's a video by a Dr. explaining what happens to the lungs of a COVID-19 patient. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4J0d59dd-qM&feature=youtu.be

They've had similar issues here. Folks went and spent their monthly welfare on TP then tried to return it at Wally World when they started running out of food. Wally world told them to kiss off

They have started reporting the numbers differently here in Arkansas. It helps put the virus in a different perspective.
Or at least alleviate some of the doom and gloom.
Currently we have a total of 1600 cases in the state.
But this is how they changed the reporting.
We have a total of 1048 "Active" cases of Covid 19.
We have had 520 people that have recovered.
And 32 deaths.
The numbers when broken down are a lot easier to swallow
