If you don't lay-off anyone in four months, the loan is forgiven completely. Interesting idea; and any small business owner can apply and receive funding within one-week.
Don't hate it.

Do you think this means they anticipate it lasts 4 months?

- No one under the age of 9 has died.

- If you are over 80 and have existing health problems, there’s a 10% chance it will kill you.

- Transmission rates in the US are still only ncreasing linearly and not exponentially, which is FANTASTIC NEWS. (Especially given that 60+% of Americans have admitted to pollers that they have still be going out and not cancelling large event plans.)
Yeah but Dr. Oz just said a million people in the US will die.

I'd rather they go with something like that. Small businesses are going to be the worst hit and I don't need a check in the mail because I'm fine currently.

This will provide not only payroll relief but also rent/mortgage and basic operational expenses to keep the business afloat

This is huge for small companies.

But why would you only worry about one person? You must really hate that guy. So many more people in positions of power that you can add to the list to check on.

This is how there are no new cases in China.

Our testing capabilities won’t catch up to the number of infected, but mass quarantine for the world would reduce the numbers.

28 weeks later... More like 28 months later we might have this under wraps

Don't know about that but I still think we should have flown in people from China, infected everybody and been done with it in two weeks.

Not out of the question. The trick is, the talking heads don't say what time frame they are referencing.

For one, we're not really the cleanliest bunch in terms of hygiene, might be why NYC is being hit so hard with that many people in close quarters without good hygiene.

I also think the way this country treats St Patty's Day with what all the millennials were doing over the weekend will not help matters. Just getting hammered drunk in a bar, tightly packed, and not thinking about all the yelling their doing over the music and likely spitting lots of Coronavirus particles into the air.

Where as the asian culture is pretty self aware when it comes to hygiene and germs, partially because they do have a lot of viral breakouts in that part of the world it seems.

So yea, I'm sure the kissing cheeks doesn't help Italy, but we have our own downfalls too.
NYC is one of the most dense places in the world. You’ve got people stacked on people and what I am gathering is that this virus spreads through proximity. Stay 6 feet apart (breathing distance) and you should be fine. Go close to a lot of people (NYC), you’ll have a lot more infection.

Nothing due to cleanliness
