The feds did $1.5T of action and it didn't stop the market from lighting 10% of market valuation funny money on fire.

From what I'm reading, it looks like the fed's action is mainly to ensure that companies are able to secure short-term loans for things like suppliers and payroll and such as credit becomes much harder to come by. It'll help to make sure that the entire economy doesn't explode, but it's also a clear sign that things are going to be very hairy, very soon.

God bless you Cole, doing His work

Oh what he wanted posted was "I work at the department of health and the rumbling here is that the government is going to institute a telework policy for all non-essential people starting Monday."

Sounds about right. Got a DoD email earlier today saying to bring your laptop home with you everyday and check your email before leaving for work in the morning.

Correct. The only reason there aren't more cases listed is we're literally not testing people. I can get prescriptions overnighted to me but they won't test me until they think i'm bad enough to hospitalize.

The tested R for the flu, and she was negative. She's not having as much breathing problems as me, but has had more 'cold' symptoms including slight fever. They said she would only get tested if she needed to go the ER, and they told her not to unless she got worse.

If the trio of us are sick and getting progressively worse, it has spread every loving where.

e: note I have kept myself home from work/school since tuesday.

Hey man I hope you guys be well and get through it quick. Chances are good it'll just be a lovely week of symptoms and then ease up.

Trying to get my brothers in law to get out of Brooklyn and come hang with my wife and I in the middle of the woods in RI. House is stocked up and we're just chilling and waiting to see what goes down.

Inslee to order all private, public K-12 schools in King, Pierce, Snohomish counties to close through April 24 due to coronavirus concerns

quote:

Gov. Jay Inslee is planning to announce the closure of all K-12 schools, public and private, in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties for more than a month, according to a source with knowledge of the situation.

Under the executive order, schools can hold classes until Monday, March 16. They must close by March 17 and remain closed until April 24.

The directive came just one day after Inslee put all school districts in Washington state on notice to create contingency plans in case they are ordered to close. He said he was planning to meet with superintendents in King, Snohomish and Pierce counties.

Across the three counties, nearly 563,600 attend public or charter schools. Roughly 216,700 of them qualify for subsidized meals, leaving many of the 43 school districts there scrambling to plan for feeding children during an extended closure.

Students with disabilities and children experiencing homelessness also are likely to bear the brunt of long periods without schools open. For many students who don’t have stable housing arrangements, school can be the one constant in their lives.

On another note, Maryland just called up the Guard and closed schools for two weeks. Lunches will still be provided.

It's nice to live in a somewhat competent state.

Usually not being able to be found, but when you buy a bunker on what used to be a military installation and when the bunker used to be a munitions magazine that looks like all the other former munitions magazines....

If someone needs a dump truck driver and provides the truck/fuel/fill material, I'll gladly join the entombing of the American wealthy. Just pick me up from Colorado on the way to the Kansas and Nebraskan sites.
