No. If he dies because she drags that into the house, I hope it tortures her soul for the rest of eternity. She's a selfish Bi***!
Truth!
This sounds crass, but it is not intended as such. So we lose 6% of the population, consisting mainly those of retirement age and the infirmed; all of those who are more likely to be a burden on the economy anyway. Will that really be a large loss? On a cultural scale, absolutely. We need the wisdom of those folks to help us be more human. But those dying are not those that will be here in 20 years anyway. I know it sounds cold, but those are the facts. Now if this was a bug that was killing primarily babies and children and we're looking at a legitimate threat to the viability of our species, than that would be a different story and I'd be behind this to keep all of our kids alive. But the kids are the ones that so far are faring well so I think this is doing more harm than good.
Have you never paid for an ER visit? Last year I had to take my son to the ER when he had complications from the flu. It wasn’t just one bill. Every department and every doctor that had anything to do with his care, sent us a bill. I’m surprised that the janitor didn’t send us a bill. If there are no patients, there isn’t anyone to bill.I had no idea my ER doctor might get paid on the same basis as a car mechanic. That's pretty terrifying on a number of levels. I figured you guys were straight salary or maybe salary + O/T because of the crazy hours sometimes. Looks like I was wrong...
Damn. Sorry to hear that. On the flip side, if nobody is coming in sick, that's actually good news.
This may sound crass. But, **** old people. Yeah, they’re all expendable. No good to society at all. Hell. They don’t contribute anything. Just a burden. Let ‘em die I say. 6 million boomers taking dirt naps? Meh.
Are you people ****ing serious?
We should kill babies whose parents dont have demonstrable means they can care for them and elderly who rely on government services for the sake of the economy. I imagine snuffing out the homeless should help too!
why would u kill just the babies. What about the parents that don’t have the means. Why would we spare them.
My wife is a kindergarten teacher, and loves her kids, troubles and all, with a passion. As a small country school we were one of the first schools in the county to have elearning. She loves everything about it except our slow intervened speed, 5mpbs down, 1 up. She has a lot of trouble uploading videos but the kids love it.I work in technology. Specifically, tools used for education (like eLearning). Most of our workforce works "from home" anyway, so moving the whole company remote hasn't been too bad. We do operate some call centers, and moving THEM to remote work has been a challenge, but we are almost there. We are also a global company. Interesting enough, I still meet with my colleagues in India, Australia, and the UK without any issues, even though they are all now remote-remote as well.
Business is insanely busy. Busier than "back to school" in the fall. No idea of how profitable all this work is. We are spending money as fast as we can bring it in right now. Tools, technology, infrastructure, even hiring.
Of course, our business is tied to schools. As long as they stay open and run eLearning, we will get through this. If they start completely shutting down, or even go out of business, this could be baaad. Brick and mortar schools are in a pickle. Digital schools are flying high. A BUNCH are somewhere in the middle. Amazing how many had no plan for anything like this, and are lacking what TODAY we would consider the basics.
Got my daily COVID standup here in a bit. Let's see what happened to our east today, and what the day might bring here in North America.
We need an immediate answer to three questions: (1) When will we have the tests, masks, ventilators, hospital beds, medicines, personnel, and ability to quarantine in place to manage the virus? (2) What are we going to do to help workers and small businesses bridge the gap for the losses they incur as a result of government-mandated social distancing? (3) When are we going to end government constraint, and adopt testing and quarantine guidelines that give our economy the full green light?
The first two questions have been the focus in recent weeks. On the first, we need to ensure robust hospital capacity and a fully functional supply chain for all necessary items. Assessing these needs is a question for the experts, and we can look at the South Korean model for some guidance.
On the second, Congress unfortunately has wasted almost two weeks passing relatively unhelpful legislation. But hopefully we will soon pass legislation with the right focus: injecting massive capital and liquidity into businesses and workers to help them bridge the gap. We have been too slow, and the measures passed so far will take too long. This is not “stimulus.” Congress needs to take immediate action to offset the harm government action has caused to businesses and the people who work for them.
The most important thing we need to do — right now — is to announce a date to signal our economic restart, get folks back to work, and build the confidence we need to get capital flowing.
Have a great night INGO and please get rest. It is the most valuable thing you can do right now for yourself. 8 hours! There are tremendous peer-reviewed studies supporting sleep and the body's ability to fight a viral infection.

ER doc's get paid by headcount?
