So, does this mean in reality almost half are unemployed now?
The most recent government data are for mid-March, and report a 72.7% employment rate for 18- to 64-year-olds. As of mid-April, according to RPS, this rate dropped to 55.8%. That stunning 23% decline marks the lowest employment rate for the U.S. since 1962.
All of the various findings, articles, videos, pictures, and other stuff I dig up on the web. Anything on this site was posted by me. Any opinion expressed here is only my own

This guy is unreal

Donald J. Trump on Monday blamed his sinking poll numbers on people paying attention when he talks.

Seriously?

he said, “There are a lot of people out there who are listening to things I say and basing their opinions on them, and I think it’s very sad.”

He does realize that New York puts a lot more money into the Federal coffers, than his state?
Also, his state takes out more from that pot, than New York gets.
OK, no bailout. no big deal we can move on.
No more money from us for your state in the future...
Is that the game he is pushing towards? How petty is that?

The role of seasonality “is certainly not zero,” Marc Lipsitch, a professor of epidemiology at Harvard who coauthored the study, said at a press conference held Tuesday. He cautioned that seasonal variability is not the same thing as saying the virus will go away in the summer. Outbreaks could occur at any time, he noted, but those that begin in the fall might be more severe. That kind of variation could have important implications for how social distancing measures are timed.
