Got everything figured! I don't know if they meant they couldn't fix my crap on the phone at the time I called, or what. But after talking to someone, the same person from yesterday called me back and set it all up for me. So I don't have a rough ridin' clue what was going on. Sorry for the scare, everyone!

Will be official on Monday that our company is encouraging everyone to take a couple days of vacation every month to avoid doing forced PTO...

Not great
:adios:

Hopefully not but also could be so they don’t have to pay out as much PTO when they do layoffs.

Officially furloughed in a couple of weeks.  It's going to be a wild summer.

We got our 2019 bonuses in early March and that definitely helps the financial hit.  It was my first year with the company so I made it a point not to count on the bonus as I didn't fully know what to expect.  I just hope I can get back to work on schedule in 3 months and I'll be fine.

Prepping made it a little easier as I've got some plans on how to productively spend that time.  Also some unproductive plans.

My struggle with all of this is we're furloughing/laying off people now and thinking employment will start to pick back up soon.  Then you read of a second wave this fall/winter that hits with the normal flu cycle and could be worse infection/hospitalization wise.

Are we going to be able to put mitigations in place so we don't see the same layoff impact?  Will our ability to test and treat better keep us from having this mass closing again if a second wave does happen?

I think the plan is to stay open and maybe only close up hot spots, just slug it out with the bug.

To that point, last spring we didn't have a test or a handle on how to treat or even know for certain transmission paths so now this upcoming winter we should have all that in place and be able to have more precise mitigations vs. the blunt closure of the world?

I think this is the thought.  I think attitudes and ideas will transform over the summer.  I expect there will be a tremendous amount of community moral preparation.  Basically braveheart stuff to get everyone ready to stick it out and stay open.  I just don't think the money machine can get us out of another shut down.

but if we really wanted to get the economy going, we probably need to spend to spend about a trillion on testing, contact tracing, hotels/support for people to quarantine, and guaranteed sick leave. It's going to be the highest return on stimulus investment
