Message: [QUOTE="JimHurley, post: 3525601, member: 6008"] No country in the world can prepare a safety net for tens of millions of its citizens to be unemployed for several months on end. Let’s be realistic here. As of today, about 22 million Americans have lost their jobs due to the virus. You think we should have had a safety net in place to care for all these people? Not possible. The stimulus packages we’ve seen have already totaled more than the government brings in tax revenue for an entire year. It’s not possible to fully prepare for an event like this. You can be more or less prepared, but no government can be prepared for THIS. Sorry if I misunderstood. I think with social distancing we might see close to net zero new cases by the end of summer. Football I think we can count out for fans attending. Maybe the players can play in empty stadiums but no fans. But basketball is still almost 7 months away. That’s a lot of time. You never know.
