Cuomo is definitely going to implement border checkpoints for people from "open" states after complaining about checkpoints other states set up for New Yorkers

Yeah but Upstate is still in quarantine, and chuds are already planning to travel from their locked down NY counties to places like the Finger Lakes where things are starting to open up

That, coupled with beaches reopening on Memorial Day, has bad news for NY written all over it

Yeah in most US states they haven't even got close to processing the backlog of unemployment claims.

People not having money to live off of is an intentional tactic to force states to open up and force people to risk their lives to go back to serving capital.

I helped a friend file UI in Michigan right after the official stay at home, close the restaurants (they're a line cook at a bar down the street from me), started since they don't have a computer and trying to apply on a smartphone was even more hellish than via web browser.

They just reported last week that they got 6 weeks of back claim in one go.

I don't get where Nate is getting his numbers because today's numbers are as high as yesterday on a Saturday and as high as a week ago.

If anything it looks like the US instead of slightly drifting down is now going sideways if not possibly up.

Maybe he is...just full of poo poo?

There's a huge residential construction project going on across the street from me (rural/exurb texas) and for a few days earlier this week there was an overpowering stench of rotting flesh and a lot of heavy earth mover equipment operating and now it's quiet and it smells fine, I'm sure everything is fine, unbelievably fine

Fine

Ahh.

Although I'm not sure how effective that is going to be considering some industries are dead/heavily reduced capacity AND the virus will flare back up harder and faster than before...
