COVID-19 2020

6.6 million new initial job unemployment claims

It’s important to note that it’s been hard for many to even file

These type of numbers have never been seen although during the Great Depression numbers may have been greater as a percentage..I haven’t crunched the numbers

so my understanding this number is the first time applying for unemployment insurance
I don't even think they had this until FDR, so don't think you can compare numbers and so many people were undocumented then too

Love that fox is running these headlines Paid to quit? Backlash builds against unemployment benefits on ‘steroids’
it bothers these people soo much that someone who makes $7 an hour might get $600 more a month
it's insane
They don't mind corporate bailouts in the billions

Yes well I think you can take it as a bit of a proxy for newly unemployed

Yeah but if you were working as a Gig worker or Laborer who got paid cash…you don't get to apply
so the numbers might be a lot higher

17 million over those three weeks…the actual unemployment rate has not been calculated yet…
The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported last week that U.S. employers shed 701,000 jobs in March, pushing the unemployment rate up to 4.4 percent, but the survey week for that figure was mid-March, before the crush of claims began. Most estimates put the current unemployment rate in the double digits or close to it.

You make my point for me! A shitload of unemployed people

Thank you last legs

I read that tons of New Yorkers flew to Milan for Fashion Week February 16-24…obviously many would have come back with virus…Milan shut down very shortly after

that last point is a tough one for the missus.  she wants to run even more when she feels sick.  it's her cure-all.  some nonsense about white blood cells and immunity boosting blah blah blah.  luckily we have lots of places to run with no one around.

What if you’re trying to escape homosexual urges because the Church of Scientology tells you it’s wrong? Should you run then? Asking for a friend.

This was my thought today about this article when i was out on my lunchtime bike ride.

Also, two middle aged helmet haired hags were walking together about eight feet apart, one on each edge of the trail. Socially distancing from each other but definitely not using proper trail etiquette. I cut between them on my bike and one of them yelled at me "Hey buddy, tell us you're coming!" I shot back, "Stay to the right like you're supposed to." I was going too fast to hear if they had a response.

That's my trail story for the day.

And how many of those are currently infected? How many have recovered?

My guess is that the terminal figures will be 24 dead and 215 recovered.

Wow from now on you are Dr Heilung
