Kolek planning to go pro
Another big sports announcement related to the virus. The Olympics will be postponed, likely to next year. No doubt it's the right move, but with so many moving pieces involved with coordinating such a big, global event, I'm curious to see how the change will be handled. https://www.yahoo.com/sports/olympics-coronavirus-2020-postponed-canceled-tokyo-130054336.html
Just do it Summer of 2021 and then go back on schedule in 2024. Start date July 23, 2021.

Dying without ever getting tested. All these will likely never appear in our total "numbers". The lack of testing right now is essentially a coverup, hiding the deaths related to this disease. Especially true amongst young people. They are dying too...we just never get the test results back.
Let's be clear on what those saying "open the economy" really mean. What they mean is that the average wage earners, the middle class and below, return to work as normal, while the rich and elite hunker down in their homes and reap the profits. Then when it is all said and done, the rich and elite will pat themselves on the back and talk about how they saved the economy and deserve gigantic bonuses and raises.
First of all, you aren't supposed to ingest it. People should know that. That's pretty obvious. Second of all, how about we be a bit fair here and also post an article that shows what can happen when done properly..https://www.foxnews.com/health/florida-man-with-coronavirus-claims-malaria-drug-saved-life
Saw a tweet today that something to the effect of "As soon as the CEOs agree to take the subway to work and operate their office elevators for the day, we can send everyone else back to work."Sounds about right.
I get that sentiment. But I've also seen plenty of social media posts from average-Joe types expressing fear about what will happen if they are out of work much longer. People want to be back to work too. Too many posts like the above assume that CEOs only care about the bottom line because of how it affects their own paycheck or bonus. Improving the bottom line is usually in the best interest of all employees, not just the bosses. And believe it or not, it's possible to be an executive and to care about the people in your organization. I can promise you there are business owners and corporate executives all over the world right now that are absolutely sick over the layoffs and limited pay for their employees due to the measures being taken. People's well-being involves both health and financial security. It's not one or the other. Hopefully Congress can put aside their differences long enough this week to help the workers who are desperately missing their normal wages now.

Prioritize the health crisis.Let the government deal with the short/medium-term financial problems of employees and small businesses.That way, we're preventing rapid spread and average Joe isn't stressing about paying their rent.Going back to work now, or in a week, is a TERRIBLE idea.
Yep. Every other country, even Trump's buddy Boris in the UK, has figured this out. I wish he would follow his lead. As much as I didn't like Boris before, he seems to be competently handling this.
Just don't cancel the Ryder Cup! I've got tickets for Saturday!I'll be pissed if it happens, but obviously in the grand scheme of things, it will only feel like the end of the world....
A- Of course this is true, but I don't see how that contradicts my point.B- I mean, yeah, I'm sure there are plenty of executives who care. But there are too many examples to count of those who do not, or those whose care for their employees well-being is a distant consideration.C- Not to re-hash old debates, but simply put, if we make the health crisis go away, the economic crisis eventually will end as well. But if we don't prioritize the health crisis, the economic crisis won't get better.D- As for Congress, I'm OK with them slowing their roll on this a bit. We're talking $2 trillion, 10 percent of the GDP. A good package at the end of the week is better than a bad package today.
Why would they cancel the Ryder Cup right now? It's at the end of September. Because of qualifying?
