does this mean a buncha people in construction and stuff will also lose their jobs because of this 'lag time' or whatever?

yes


Wave 1 of unemployment are all the immediate service sector jobs when we closed all those businesses directly.

Wave 2 will be the lag of nobody signing new contracts/projects laying waste to project-based companies and the workers who then build those buildings or whatever.

Wave 3 will be massive state and local austerity as the federal government fails to provide any relief, forcing tens of thousands off of government payrolls across the country.

Hmm, sounds legit.

Meat packing places are some of the absolute worst places to work. There's a reason only Somali refugees are willing to work there

One of the largest Tyson plants is here in the same little lovely TN town I work and I can assure you only like 5-10% of the population of Bedford County TN are actually wearing masks or following any sort of stay at home order. I'm the only person in the office wearing a mask today.

Staying home rules. I have like 6 Switch games to beat and a cool puzzle game (Conduct Together), lots of Netflix shows and I'm good on food. My girlfriend and I get enough time to ourselves especially since I like doing outside chores so the risk of strangling each other is low. Plus we like the same Netflix series mostly

about half of my boomer relatives have already restarted their social calendar of visiting etc. at this point i think the aggressive lockdowns are just a way to sell lock-outs to liberals while smashing working people (and making sure only small biz fascists are out in the street opposing them), none of this poo poo is going to make a difference with how many people die or whatever. might as well just let people go back to work, gently caress it. is anyone itt striking on may 1

TBF the remote learning can be pretty intensive and even at the kindergarten level you need an adult there supervising them the entire time to make sure it's actually completed, which means they're not doing their work from home if that's even an option. Ideally this experience would lead to newfound respect for teachers, the vital role they play to allow economic acitivity and the insane difficulty of somehow corralling up to 30 brats at the same time. How do they even do that? Maybe shouting.

this is like a sad reality...not a lifting of lockdowns for any scientific or ethical reasons, but because basically most of the world has said “gently caress it” to trying to meaningfully avoid and resolve the problem in a balanced or caring way. Human nature hasn’t really changed in the last 100 years and I don’t think there is momentum to make it better. Especially in America where healthcare is a personal obligation not a basic right, the national psyche is going to break because 10% of the country doesn’t give a gently caress
