Re: Coronavirus
Thanks Bristol and Teaandtoday...I’m fine, a bloody great lump on my head...it was my own fault...I thought it was late enough in the year stop walking like Pingu!
Yes I just saw that BoJo and the Health Secretary have tested positive. Is it unchristian to pray that Trump might succumb?
It might be a good time, if you participate, to look at The Celebrity Croakers thread?
I just had a teleconference with work, we are presently planning to be out for the next four months minimum lockout.

Probably, but what do they know? I hope the President and all his family, his inner circle and his past and present press secretaries all survive, so not a single one of the sons of bitches can cheat the noose.

Well, I imagine all of our taxes are going to increase as a result, down the road. And that in nature of progressive taxation, those who earn more will be a higher proportion. I'm not sure what your point is?

Re: Coronavirus
It's either higher taxes in the future and helping people now, or we end up in a depression with millions hungry, homeless and unemployed, I would imagine some higher taxes in the future is the best solution for the time being.
There are companies laying off 90-100% of their employees, 1 million people in a week applying for EI which is something like 2.5% of the workforce and that is just 1 week, imagine it will continue to grow as more companies lay off.
Raising taxes down the road seems like a sensible solution.
Not everyone who is affected by COVID and loss of income will qualify for the announced programs, so I imagine some will end up homeless or without food, but hopefully in small enough numbers where we don't end up with massive increases in homeless because the current homeless population is more than the services can handle, so minimizing homelessness should be priority for the government.
Now if only the grocery stores would be able to offer more pick up options and not need to go inside the store.
I check Super Store website 2 times an hour most of the day, never seem to find an open slot time.
Save On wont take our card, it has the funds but their system declines it, so while they have delivery times off and on, their system wont accept our card, guess they must not accept prepaid cards.

No point. Maybe the conversations should only be about how one can cope working from home.

Re: Coronavirus
just been for a walk down by the lake. There is a new 2 way walking path and a 2 way bike path. It is very busy and people are brushing past each other or stood around talking. We walk on the empty large grassy area, or the road if someone gets closers than about 20 ft. It will get busier as the weather warms up.
