Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

We were forced to play the lovely game of kick ball and dodge ball in Mississippi. I think it was because all it required was a ball. We didn't have the budget for bats.

We played an interesting game of the gym teacher’s invention called “crazy basketball” and it was crazy. It was an indoor version of dodgeball that involved nerf footballs, the basketball goals, and the half court line.

I'm seeing a lot of people on FB who seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of what the stay at home orders are all about. Every time there's a post about people not observing social distancing guidelines, I see multiple comments about how those people are the reason we can't all get back to work. I mean, those people are jackasses, sure, and they're a problem for the safety of the rest of us, but they're not the reason this is taking longer. Flattening the curve by definition means stretching this out over as long as possible to reduce the burden on the healthcare systems and buy time for vaccine/therapy research. If we wanted to get this over with as fast as possible, we should do what the jackasses are doing and gather in large groups. Some of us will die, but at least it'll be quick.

Edit: I know all of you already know that, I just had to get it off my chest because my wife says I have to stop picking fights with strangers on Facebook.

You should probably stop picking fights with strangers on Facebook.
 
The fact that the stimulus is a loan to keep employees on the payroll implies that they will have to pay back that money.

With business drastically slowed down that is not an expense most businesses want. Instead, layoffs are the only option to meet numbers for shareholders.

Top executives have given up their salary to keep people on the payroll where I work. But after 3 plus weeks of this that's all that's bought us. It has come clear to leadership that if we are going to make our numbers for 2020 we need to lay off staff immediately. They are figuring that all out now and the layoffs will happen next week.

We are expecting a 30% to 40% reduction in our workforce.

At the end of the day, the governments stimulus does not help us meet our numbers. To meet our numbers we need to cut controllable costs. And that's employees.

Knock on wood, I should be safe because I'm the only one who does what I do. But I always fear someone will propose it's cheaper to offshore my dev work to save money.

Scary when you think about it.

Well Biden has Alzheimer's, Dementia or Can't Remember Shit. But Biden will surround himself with smart people which might be his saving grace if he is elected president. Trump is an idiot and he surrounds himself with stupid dangerous people who don't believe in science and think the world is 6,000 years old.
