    Yes of course. I agree with @gorgo2 on many shaving matters. It's just his opinion on Covid-19 I think is misguided and dangerous.

    I haven't seen a copy just listening to the news.

    So to be fair.. "if" it's in there, we have no idea how many or who will qualify for such a loan. My guess would be very,very few. From what I remember most SBA loans maxed out at 5m, which I find interesting..

    I would watch today's coverage of the vote get a copy of the legislation soon as published and ask your Congress representative.

    My Congresswoman has held two conference calls with her constituents pertaining to COVID-19. I bet she'll do a third now that there's some serious legislation happening.

    If anyone thinks they are going to get any money, from this Corona bill, fast, apparently doesn't know government too well. It will probably be in the form of a low/no interest business loan, and extended unemployment. Hoops Hoops Hoops, to jump through. What is the saying?? Families should have 3-6 months of their salary, put away, for emergencies. Many will test that theory.
    BTW, I love that gas is very low. It is just that now, there is nowhere to go.

    The Los Angeles County Sheriff has ordered all gun stores closed in the county, and has released 1700 inmates.

    This should go well.

    All of those inmates had fewer than 30 days left on their sentences, and all were convicted of nonviolent misdemeanors. Just to fill in the picture.

    3 percent of Americans own half the guns. Maybe folks can just share some of that surplus firepower til things settle down.

    Atlanta ICUs already at 100 percent capacity. More to follow. Over 90% capacity here in LA. National statistics may be more useful when you have a national public health system. We unfortunately don't have one of those.

    Mostly labeling, to include printing and converting of same.

    I just did one for an oxygen valve used in medical care. Each with a unique 2D barcode for tracking info.

    A certain manufacturer of power tools cannot sell their products without serial numbers on labeling.

    We support some businesses that are in shutdown. Business in those segments will be sparse.

    One of the few plus sides of this pandemic imho.

    I hope (I really do) that the human race doesn't ignore or forget this great quietening which is going on with the planet atm.

    Rivers are running cleaner, sky's are clearer, nobody is dying because they are not getting the latest piece of tat from China.

    I walk the dog in the mornings and I am enjoying every minute of the peace and quiet whilst I can.

    I am also working from home. No commuting. No second car needed, no wasted hours in traffic. No office requiredI
    I do my hours to suit myself.

    God bless those who will suffer from this and I implore you all to take it seriously but, it is a bad thing indeed that has no good in it.

    The world is forever changed imho. The secondary effects of this to both our society and our culture will be deep and far reaching.

    Oh, and the upcoming recession is going to be massive.

    Stay safe, stay at home :)

    I say we put our older and vulnerable loved ones in a safe place, and the rest of us just go full Mad Max. Everyone is panicking over nothing. The Governments of the world are fueling that panic for political gain. More people are going to die due to the panic than the virus ever will. I say screw it. They want Mad Max, let's give them Mad Max.
    All you had to to do is protect your loved ones that are vulnerable. But no. Everyone has to act like it's the end of the world. Well, let's do this. Let the culling begin.

    And now I know...they're shut down until further notice. I'm going to be a long-haired hippie freak as who knows when "further notice" is?

    Sigh. Death rates will be low as long as very sick individuals have quick access to ICUs and ventilators. Thus far in NY death rate has been low but rate of ICU hospitalization among those testing positive and requiring hospital care has been high. Quarantine is all about keeping those ICUs from getting overwhelmed. Rate of increase here in Los Angeles has stabilized because quarantine is effective. Widespread testing is a necessary next step.

    Agree 100% about Cuomo... I've always limited the amount of TV/News I watch. I've decided it should be cut in half again..
    At least your pup will be fed! It was such a nice day yesterday, I decided to get the youngest pup out and work on his ability to catch his own food....:rofl:

    My wife and I went to senior hour at Costco to pick up a few things. They have an hour of shopping dedicated for seniors and people with pre-existing conditions at 8:00am. That was my first time out in over a week and it felt great!

    The state of Idaho has thus far tested only 2,000 people.

    You shouldn't need to test the healthy, just the sick. Big waste of time, money, and equipment. Quarantine the Elderly, sick, and those susceptible. Oh, and the Neurotic Hypochondriacs, because they tend to cause mass panic and fear, when it isn't needed.
