Personal impact of the Wuhan Virus

This will be the largest transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy in human history.

With all the defaults coming the banks will own everything on top of billions in bailouts.

In the event of a default, the bank already owned it really....

All the equity built up over years,  "poof" gone.

Maybe folks should look at the banksters and usery a little differently.

Ha ha ha, fat chance that will ever happen.

Banks don't fare well with foreclosures.  Not in the kind of market we're likely facing.

Uh oh ... I started showing those symptoms last week.

If it happens, it wasn't the Kung Flu that instigated the issue.


Seriously, why do tumors have to *expletive deleted*ck up your hair!?!?!

All the barber shops I looked up were closed.

Is it just me or does he look a lot more like his avatar now?

Near waist length hair and 8"+ beard is easy peasy in Covid-19 lockdown.

When I was a kid, every time my Dad saw a picture of a monkey or ape - every cotton-pickin time - he would ask me how they got my picture.

Pfft. Virus doesn't affect me. I've been giving myself buzzcuts for the last 15 years. Well, they used to be high and tights, until the "high" started disappearing.

There's some pretty decent small business loans/grants available.  I don't know how many are going for them, or how much red tape there is.  I know BSL said her boss was having some fed.gov bureaucracy issues.

This seems like a decent deal for this situation:

an eligible business may borrow a Paycheck Protection Loan in an amount of up to $10 million. The actual amount is 2.5 x average total monthly “payroll costs” (defined below) during the past year, with flexibility for seasonal employers and with an ability to refinance a recent Economic Injury Disaster Loan
......
Borrowers may receive forgiveness of Paycheck Protection Loan amounts spent on payroll expenses, rent, mortgage interest and utilities during the eight weeks after the loan is made.

My sister and her husband own a chocolate factory and four retail outlets with a total of about 50 employees.  They had to lay everyone off, close the stores and close the factory since they were not an essential business and sales dropped to nothing.  They are looking at some of the loan/grant programs, but are not sure if their business will survive.

Just skimming the site that would seem to be exactly the situation that paycheck loan forgiveness thing is for.  If they get a loan, hire everyone back and pay them, and let the factory just sit idle for two months, the government will forgive, rent, pay and utilities, and the employees will have gotten paid.

When this is all done and we tally up our economic losses, it will sure look a lot more like the results of an attack on our country than the results of a rando eating a bat on the other side of the world.

Wife told me I can't go to the store anymore. So she will do it and hope she doesn't bring anything home to my no immune system. I pulled out my P100 mask today but I can't find any new cartridges once I run out. On the plus side I'm about to go do a "Sadie you are my daughter." Damnit Wife just texted she is napping while I was typing will have to get her later. Sadie stayed up all night with this new freedom of no real school and being able to do the online stuff in about an hour.

Friend, who I've not been in physical contact with at least, tested positive today.

I went to the supermarket today and saw more people wearing masks. Some surgical masks and some improvised.

One guy was using a folded up bandana held over his mouth and nose and trying to shop one handed.

Week 3 of survey

73% have no personal knowledge of anyone infected.

Health Care Providers still are the majority of the cases listed.

Nobody in our group has lost a friend or acquaintance they know personally to the China Virus.

Stay Safe

Anybody gotten a check in from Ned on how they're doing?

[just Warren]

Eight now. But no word on severity.

11 now. So it's not spreading fast here.

No deaths, thankfully.

[Ned Hamford]

Feeling well enough for some light yard work... man, being sick these few weeks has wrecked me.  I think I'm just about wholly through it tho.  I took the longest to recover in the house. 

A local 20 some year old died today from it; county average is currently a half dozen a day.  Local hospitals have had a few insider videos leak of their hellscapes.

Played golf today, couldn't get a bloody mary due to the clubhouse being closed.
