I wouldn't mind kicking back for a month but I'd have to break an ankle again to do so. We won't be shutting down for this.

 I wonder if credit card debt will get a repreive for a couple months?  I have a 5k vet bill due on them this month that I'd rather throw the money in the stock market at this time.

It’s appealing to those without much sledding experience I guess.  “Oh, da U.P.!  Where it’s all cottony fresh powder that ensures no wear on the snow machine.  Plus, if owner only rode in UP, you know they are experienced pros in maintaining sleds!!!“

LOL

And 99% of US companies are so severely leveraged that 1 missed week of earnings has them facing bankruptcy

Not sure if this is what the company I work for is facing, but they sure act as thought it would take the military posted at the doors to shut them down. They have been downplaying the situation and nobody can really get a straight answer from them. We had to watch a short video on washing our hands and social distancing, they distributed cleaning supplies to each department, but I have yet to see any organized cleaning going on. I asked what happens if someone we work with comes down with covid. We'll send them home. That's reassuring..........

Think about this; what is the big deal if the country besides the essential services have to stay home for a 2-4 weeks? The Europeans basically take off 4 weeks of work between the month's of July and August and their world doesn't come crashing down.

Spend some time with your family and take care of all that bullshit that's been on the honeydo list, watch the trees bud out and the spring flowers popping through the earth, listen to the baby birds makin a fuss when mama comes back to the nest with lunch, connect with old friends via the telephone and see how the heck there doing, it's a time to chill out and relax before it gets back to the rat race which will happen sooner than you know it.

Add anything else that you will do with your free time while home at the ranch.

This has not changed my life too much:

1. We have stopped going for rides ( at 30 MPH ) and out to eat.   No big deal.

2. I have lost a ton of money.

3. I stay away from every store as much as possible, and every person as much as possible.

 

The ONLY thing that bothers me 24/7, is worry that a family member or some friends, might get sick.

Careful. I don’t think we’ve hit bottom yet. May take a few more weeks.

I am still shaking my head over the fact that all of these neocons have been saying the opposite while condemning socialism and comparing it to communism and hangings in the park. Then all of these corps reveal that they are irresponsibly leveraged and indebted and the only thing that can save them is socialism. I mean wtf?

Then let them fail. Someone else will be along shortly to take their place.

The pent up need for stuff, services, and travel should be very high following all of this. Hopefully people will still be in a financial position to chase that stuff. It’ll be a great stimulus.
