Economists predict 8.3 million jobs LOST. Instead, it’s 2.5 million jobs GAINED. Man, it must be good to be an economist and never have to be right.

Oh, and embedded in those numbers? Highest African American employment rate since 1984. :coffee: :coffee:

I wasn't paying attention to what economists were predicting but i don't find a big resurgence in jobs surprising at all. Once State governments began "re-opening" one would expect to see a bunch of people who'd been laid off to be hired back. I don't think Trump has much to do with it though.

What Trump had something to do with is the fact that we had to shut the economy down to the extent that we did to begin with because he did his travel restriction thing...which he should have known would not work...then acted like the problem was solved.
Well, I believe that I must tell the truth
And say things as they really are
But if I told the truth and nothing but the truth
Could I ever be a star?

Of course. With your expertise in economics I’d expect you to have the all figured out....WTF do those ACTUAL economists know, right? :lol:

That's nice. I don't think many people are going to give a fuck about the Chinese Flu now that the same people who told them they need to stay inside told all the people to go out and protest and riot. Good luck putting that genie back in the bottle. :lol:

Hope that’s right but the only places going down right now are in the NE and Europe.

“PHOENIX -- The chief clinical officer at the state's largest hospital network said Friday that Arizona is headed to a health crisis if residents don't change their habits to deal with COVID-19.

Dr. Marjorie Bessel said the intensive-care units at the Maricopa County hospitals for Banner Health already are at full capacity. And other hospitals in Arizona are rapidly approaching that point.

Bessel said that's no surprise, given the increasing number of cases of the coronavirus. The took a big jump Friday, with 1,579 new cases, bringing the tally in Arizona to 24,332.

But she parted ways with Gov. Doug Ducey and state Health Director Cara Christ who have said that the increase is largely a factor of more people getting tested.

The doctor noted a sharp spike in infections following the decision in the middle of last month by the governor to scrap his stay-at-home order.

"We do have community spread of COVID-19 in Arizona and we have had community spread in Arizona,'' she said, with people infecting each other through close contact and not taking precautions.

That's not all.

"We are seeing an increase in the sickest of the sick,'' she said.

"These are COVID-19 patients who are in the ICU who are ventilated,'' Bessel said. "And those individuals are in our hospitals for a long period of time,'' she said.

In fact, Bessel provided data showing the number of Banner patients on ventilators has tripled in less than two weeks.”

Nobody fucking cares, bro. The protestors sure as fuck didn’t care. And the politicians and athletes and Hollywood types who were championing their cause and their right to protest and riot didn’t care about the impact their mass riots might have on COVID cases. The time for caring is O.V.E.R.

Open the shit back up, post haste. No more delays. No more excuses.

My favorite are the nurses that just went from a hospital, I guess being around Chinese Flu patients, and directly to a protest. If they don't give a fuck about spreading it, I sure as shit ain't.

Oh, and the statement that “the only place its going down is in the NE” is plain ass wrong.

Every single state (except CA) that provides individual data on the worldometers.info website shows cases and deaths DROPPING.

Again...the numbers and virus don’t care. They just do their thing. We’ve been averaging around 20,000 new cases per day over the past 3 weeks and on Thursday, that jumped to 41,000. Brazil is another one not doing so well going steady at about 30,000/day. :coffee:

The one thing you guys are right about is the protests. Those should cause a further bump over the next few weeks.
Amid reopenings and street protests, coronavirus transmission remains high in much of the U.S.
