What are you lol'ing about?

@ the economic devastation coming our way in q2.

Well if you believe these numbers, yes we'll take a massive hit in Q2, but Q3 and Q4 represent the sort of "best case scenario" for a V-shaped recovery. I'd take that.
My winning smile and can-do attitude.

yeah, -3ish is pretty horrible compared to past modern era recessions, but all things considered it's fairly rosy.

i think it's probably just subject to enormous variation.  but it's not hard to see the economic hit being fairly short.

looking at the testing data by state is a less rosy picture.  it's hard to tell, obviously, but it looks more like a bunch of states doing more tests up to their capacity rather than expanding their capacity.

new york the one obvious and glaring exception.  they are expanding testing like a champion and all the other states need to copy them asap.

it's a open to all parties special election for the seat isakson resigned from.  vote same day as the presidential election in november.  if no one gets 50%, the top two will go to a runoff.

Possible nationwide shelter in place this weekend? I work in the transportation industry and our main clients are food/beverage companies. Some drivers started getting this handed to them at some pickups today.

Just heard a rumor today of impending martial law. They really need to get out a clear message by now.

I can't count the number of screenshot texts in this vein I've received this past week, but especially today. Yes, the National Guard has probably been instructed to be on the ready, but everything else is just speculation and rumor mill BS.
