As the economic fallout from the coronavirus pandemic continues, almost one-third of U.S. households, 32%, have not made their full housing payments for July yet, according to a survey by Apartment List, an online rental platform.
About 19% of Americans made no housing payment at all during the first week of the month, and 13% paid only a portion of their rent or mortgage.
And instead of being close to fully opening the economy, we are nearly back to where we were in mid-march but without any real hope of money in the form of stimulus or increased unemployment benefits to help people to pay their rent/mortgage and feed their families. This is a catastrophic failure of government and a breach of the social contract.
This won’t help.
Close? Nope if handled properly we would have it wide open all summer Shut down in late February with a clear and inclusive national message combined with PPE and we could have reopened when the first states did and be where Europe and Asia is without all the death. We probably could have saved a lot of lives in Brazil too. Pretty sure if the USA goes with the rest of the world then Bolsonaro falls in line too. Originally I was thinking we would have to close down international travel but the way it looks now, the WHO could come up with a minimum requirement for countries to join a covid travel treaty of sorts and as countries hit certain targets they would be included. We would be able to travel to most of Europe and Asia. It would damn near be back to business as usual with the exception being fans at sporting events, concerts, conventions and big crowd stuff. Whether that holds true in the fall remains to be seen but the way it looks now, I don't think most places are going to have a 2nd wave.And instead of being close to fully opening the economy, we are nearly back to where we were in mid-march but without any real hope of money in the form of stimulus or increased unemployment benefits to help people to pay their rent/mortgage and feed their families.

We can't even hold NBA, MLB, or college practices without people getting infected.
Thinning the herd. Culling out those with a poorly-developed frontal cortex.
Wearing masks in public is almost 100% hereIt's weird to me how much mandates motivate. Until this week our county has not had mandatory masks. This week the governor mandated masks for our county. I've seen far more masks being worn by people than before. I've worn mine the whole time when out.....it just has made sense to me. It's been a welcomed change. I hope the mandate stays and I hope it's made state wide.
Not trying to question any of the effects of this thing, but how many diseases do these same sorts of things and no one is just researching them as hard as they are doing Covid? I have a hard time imagining Covid is a totally unique beast in all these regards.
