We all have varying opinions about the impact of this, the numbers, etc. We will all never agree with each other. But we can all keep it civil.

Thanks!

Folks, the total number of unemployment claims *nationally* was 281,000 last week

Pennsylvania lawmakers were told today on a call with a state official that 180,000 Pennsylvanians applied for unemployment just in the last few days

Gotta say that wasn't terrifying. However, the video Fish posted kinda was.

Yeah, I thought about that too when seeing patients in their skivvies. But still I thought it was a good visual example of what this has the potential to look like if you don't take it seriously. Not a violent zombie outbreak, but a depressing calm silence and beeping of technology keeping people alive.

It's nothing, but we laid off 2 attorneys and 6 staff members today. Over the last 48 hours we've put together plans for 20, 40, 60 and 90 layoffs (leaving a skeleton crew of about 12 'essential' staff) that we'll pull the trigger on as situations warrant.

I saw the 'worst case scenario' predictions of 20% unemployment and I honestly don't see how we don't blow past that. FFS, California is a tick more than 10% of the nations population on their own and that's gonna be a big chunk of folks that can't work from home.

This truly sucks something awful.

It sucks but most of it will be temporary layoffs that's why its important we isolate and flatten this thing ASAP so we can get back to our normal lives and recovering the market.

As more data is acquired, more younger people are being included...

Because young people are exposing themselves at SIGNIFICANTLY higher rates. They're more immersed in public settings and many have been less inclined to alter behaviors.

Obviously they're not immune or anything here, but I have to believe people from 20-55 are being hospitalized at rates a mere fraction of the elderly population if adjusted (somehow) for how many of them have actually been exposed to the disease.

I don’t why the UK went away from the herd immunity strategy, but they‘ve had less cases and deaths than other European countries that are on total lockdown/maximum social distancing including Italy, France, and Spain.

How do you figure I'm going to rally 90 people back inside the building when all this is over?

We'll furlough as many as we can to continue to provide them benefits and still allow them to be eligible for unemployment - that's how we'll try to maintain a connection to them and hope to bring them back.

But shit, I'll be happy to get half of them back depending on what levers we have to pull.

No idea some will come back some will find other jobs. Would have to look at the numbers but I imagine the hardest industry hit at the moment is the service industry. Theyll all be back by June.

That's cute.

California just shut their entire !@#$ing state down when many of their counties have precisely zero cases.

Nobody is going to be anything remotely resembling rational about any of this.

So this is interesting. It’s not been peer reviewed and it’s numbers are different.

But essentially if that’s right, it’s basically saying that this thing spreads super fast, but isn’t as virulent as we thought. It would also mean there’s a lot of asymptomatic people that don’t get tested and that we would theoretically be closer to herd immunity than we thought

Again caution it’s early and stuff etc but encouraging. We’ll have a pretty good idea if it’s true as China is revving back up they don’t have more outbreaks as they’re basically immune now

Someone on that thread said it best but basically it says that it’s about the same in terms of the flu but if you condensed flu season into one month
