In what ways do you believe this crisis will permanently alter businesses and education in America?

@WuWei

So they are “fixed”? How about the flue? Common cold?

There are vaccines but…they’re an educated guess as to which flu you’ll come into contact with?

Blind luck from what I can tell.

Movie Theaters will begin dying faster. Universal already experimenting with release movies straight to streaming services for $20.00 to rent. Once they see that it works, they will have to re-evaluate whether it’s worth the added cost to physically distribute movies to theaters.

I got this feeling that many big brick and mortar type buildings will continue to go by the wayside as there will be reassessments of their costs vs benefits. This will have a negative impact on many custodial and maintainence type jobs.

@JayJay

They’re “fixed” in that they never overwhelm the medical system because there is enough herd immunity around to make it “controllable”.

And around we go again repeating things we all know but some of you think score some sort of “points”.

How do they not overwhelm The System with 180,000 cases hospitalized and yet corona does with 30k cases total?

I don’t care about China, they lie.

Yes…but this doesn’t favor them and so I thought it to be true.

I have nothing to base this on. But I’m betting that by mid to late May, we will start seeing some restrictions being loosened. Especially if hospital cases have not overwhelmed us.

that’s what it feels like to me too.

But boy, I’m not sure how my business can survive this kind of shut down.

This is going to be tough. Very concerned I’m going to loose my employee base, which is so frustrating. Finally had my team exactly the way I wanted it…

That reminds me of the Finnish saying that “My personal space starts at the tip of my puukko “. ( A puukko being the traditional Finnish knife.)

I like it. That’s cool for Gun controlled Finland. My personal space begins at the muzzle of my 9mm. Being a N.J. resident, you probably don’t have either choice available.

(Sorry, I had to.)

I have a pretty nice collection of puukkos but I really prefer my leuku knives. Sami knives, similar to puukkos but much larger.

Both are wilderness survival tools that can double as weapons should the need ever arise.

I brought up west Nile at the last minute because when we had an outbreak some years ago, I thought here I am minding my own business and this stupid little mosquito has the potential to give this to me.
Fast forward to present and here we are minding our own business and chinese eat some weird ■■■■ and it is now contagious.
Maybe it is optimistic to say one and done but i think sneaky says it best, we never are promised tomorrow.

BTW, Finland actually has one of the highest rates of gun ownership in the world.

Where did you see it?

[coolidge]

I know our flu seasons have been worse and they are spiking later in the season. About right now. The last couple of years the hospitals I work for have limited visitation because of the widespread of flu.

An international blue ribbon panel will be formed to name future viruses to ensure that no one’s feelings are hurt. Libs will protest the reference to a blue ribbon panel and will demand that we call it a rainbow ribbon panel. Others will demand that the person who is ill be allowed to choose “their” own name for the illness based on whatever name “they” identify with. Patients who recover will also demand reparations given the stigma associated with being called a former patient. Bottom line, people won’t change.

@Eagle-Keeper

Are colleges going to refund students a portion of their tuition since they are not benefiting from the “full” learning experience of actually being on campus and in the classroom?

Probably not. Colleges might be the single greediest institutions in America. Graduates can be financially wiped out before they reach the age of 22. Greed gone wild.

The other sad thing about higher ed is that it is one of the only (if not the only) type of business that does not have to back its product with any type of warranty or money back if one doesn’t get the good job they were hoping for.

Let’s see how long this thing goes and how long so many businesses have to go without revenue, before going bankrupt?

I have nothing to base this on. But I’m betting that by mid to late May, we will start seeing some restrictions being loosened. Especially if hospital cases have not overwhelmed us.

It’s not going to be that long.
