Covid-19 Hits Close to Home

[EvilCat Breath]

No one under 30 has had more than sniffles. Why are schools closing?

Do any of you know why its called covid19?...because this is the 19th corona virus in the last twenty years...we can handle this if the media and the dem governors and congress men and women would stop trying to scare the economy into the stone age....

And why would they do that?

They think with a market drop it will harm Trump but they are of course once again mistaken....the market is not main street...main street is thriving with or without this flu....

78% of American workers live paycheck to paycheck.

That is ridiculous...

78% Of Workers Live Paycheck To Paycheck

This doesn't even take into account the number of people that have $1,000 or less in their savings/checking.

Yup, indeed.

They take it home to their grandparents love. Not enough kits to test so we have no idea where all it is already

Just because one person doesn't get deadly ill, doesn't mean they can't spread it to those that will or can be. I think you are having a problem understanding how pandemics work.

Just got an email from my university in Kentucky that classes for next week are canceled, and that all classes are moved online until at least April 3rd, at which time they will have made a decision on what to do the rest of the semester. They are also asking that all students move out of the dorms for now unless they do not have any other housing options. It's pretty difficult to get the full college experience and proper education from certain classes like Criminological Theory, when some are extremely complex and require class discussion and asking questions. They have said they really want to finish this semester and not hold students back. This comes just a couple days since Berea College canceled the semester, citing that too many students that attend there are too poor to have internet at home to just move the remainder of classes online. That would really suck.

That's cute, you still think people come before profit in America? Yeah in lots of states schools are shuttering, Airlines are reeling, NCAA shitting down it's basketball tournaments to the general public, idiots running to stores and hoarding stuff, WHO designating it as a pandemic. It might really suck before it's all over. And the aristocracy may come or more socialism again like it did in 2007-08. Stay tuned. But really, the poor? And a virus that could clear off a lot of Medicare, SS and/or Medicaid recipients? Why would that give concentrated capital pause, it's win win.

How is it any kind of profit when colleges that cancel semester will be forced to pay back all the financial aid or offer students the ability to retake courses for free? Even if they allow students to retake courses for free, they still paid professors's salaries, not to mention ALL the other staff that include janitors, food staff, student workers, utility bills, etc.? There's no profit in that.

Why is concentrated capital shattting itself?

Number one....That's a story from over a year ago when we were still digging out from the Obama recession....Number two its an opinion not a researched study....I don't care what you Trump haters say or what you find to copy and paste from the web...people are better off today than they were 3 years ago....

Intentionally. Utterly unprepared for a pandemic, but boy howdy we've got the resources to bomb the world to the tune of a bomb every 12 minutes for years at a time, illegally, unconstitutionally, and bogusly.

Partisanshithead rationalizations will provide no protection from the natural world. America got caught with it's pants down, can't sic the military on a pandemic.

Totally unprepared is something you could have said if the virus was running all over the states killing everyone...only a handful of elderly folks have died from it and only a few pockets of people have tested positive in America....I say that's another Trump win....

All one has to do is look at who is behind the article to know it is hogwash. He has posted it here before..

If you think the number of people living paycheck t paycheck changed under Trump, you are delusional. He's done nothing to change that, and in fact the earning gap has GROWN not shrunk.

"This reflects just how many Americans are living paycheck to paycheck.

Depending on the survey, that figure runs from half of workers making under $50,000 (according to Nielsen data) to 74% of all employees (per recent reports from both the American Payroll Association and the National Endowment for Financial Education.) And almost three in 10 adults have no emergency savings at all, according to Bankrate’s latest Financial Security Index."

A shocking number of Americans are living paycheck to paycheck

80% of US Workers Are Living Paycheck to Paycheck

It is a COLD HARD FACT that people earn relative to inflation, LESS than people made in the 1950's.

PolitiFact - Is the minimum wage worth less now than 50 years ago?

The virus didn't hit close to home. The over reaction from it has.

Yes Trump thought it was a good idea to cut all the positions and programs last year that are critical now. He said it is ok because you can just call them up for help. No, that is now how emergency systems and preparedness works. Of course who needs experts, Donald said he knows more about viruses than most people.

Bull. The lower income have profited more than any others. Even nbc admits it-
Workers at the lower end of the pay scale finally are getting the most benefit from rising wages

 

[L.K.Eder]

The obese old fucks on this board will take the virus seriously when their bubble is pierced.

 

[Remodeling Maidiac]

No, that is now how emergency systems and preparedness works

Actually that's how A LOT of our systems work. You're just young and uninformed

It's happening every where so much for my *hit being wrong earlier this month. LOL. Look at Pittsburgh they are closing down a lot as well..

Be safe Lewd chose to think iit's BS or not but stay safe more 911 is coming in another bio. Stock up onn some food and if you take medicine or know ppl who do tell them to get as much as they can. If this virus doesn't take ppl out the shortage on meds will. 70% comes from China.

No big deal. It's not as tho they were learning anything.

Indoctrination can be done just as thoroughly by TV.

That's a 2019 article and I just posted new ones. So "even NBC" who you don't believe on any other news is suddenly credible when you find an article you like? That's totally the opposite of responsible news.
