Everybody back peddling on their dire death predictions.

Have any grocery/retail workers fallen ill with COVID?

A few Walmart employees have died recently.

4 out of 1,500,000 (not sure how they got C19).

They probably got it from customers.

Or somewhere else.

And how does that compare to previous years?

Completely absurd.

How so? When state leaders are throwing out shutdown dates 60 days out
Busiturtle

60 more days of this nonsense is what is absurd!

Just because they lie somewhere different on the caution spectrum than you does

In your opinion should NYC have shut down?

8 million people on an island 20x10 miles. I think they can be handled much

To be fair, 23 million in the NYC metro and only 1.7 million on the island

let's hope temperature has an effect.

Except the economy has lost more jobs than any other time in history. So looks like they were right.

Not necessarily. What matters is what happens next. Does the economy recover and how quickly?

What part of my statement was incorrect? Has the economy lost more job in the last two weeks than any other time in

4/8/20 5:43pm
The part of your statement that was incorrect was where you said "looks like they were right."

And they are right. Those who predicted we would lose millions of jobs and we would have a bear market were correct
