I don't care what those numbers are, I don't care what the percentages or projections are, that's not my point. IT'S IRRELEVANT.
This 2 trillion stimulus package is designed to get us through 4 months, that's it. After that there's no more bullets in the gun. Unemployment is not going to pay your rent or mortgage, or car payments or maintain your standard of living. It's just to try to hold things together and keep us from starving during that period. If you don't bloody well get your job back fairly soon you're toast economically. What about past recessions you say, people survived for years before they got rehired or found new jobs. This isn't the same scenario and I'm not going to explain it it would take way to long. Just believe me here.
Just one example. You have a mortgage but are forced to default on it. Normally it goes back to the bank and they sell it. The numbers even during a very bad recession is manageable because EVERYBODY is not being forced into foreclosure. If the ENTIRE economy stays shut down for a year or more the banks have absolutely no one to sell those houses to. The banks go under because the FDIC means nothing if there's nothing coming into the treasury. Boeing goes bankrupt because there is NOBODY to buy their planes, the airlines go under because nobody's flying and so on throughout the economy from cars to TV's to computers to casino's to EVERYTHING. The authorities all know this in every modern country in the world.
I'm not comparing the flu to COVID 19, I am saying we've been willing to go to work have a good life and enjoy our good economy in spite of these flu numbers. By themselves these numbers are alarming, no? Where is the outcry that we should shut our schools and everything else until these numbers are eliminated? Somebody earlier said we're talking about DEATH here. Right, what about these deaths? The flu will never be eradicated because a very large number of the population refuse to get vaccinated. The estimate I think is about 30%. Great, 70% is still a decent number and so far we're all perfectly willing to live with the resulting serious flu cases and deaths. Just another cost of doing business, right?
Why are you guys not jumping up and down, blaming Trump and everybody else for not doing something about it? We should be ignoring peoples religious and personal beliefs and passing laws you MUST get vaccinated or go to jail. (Actually, not a bad idea) The world governments could have done the same thing they're doing now by deciding these flu deaths are unacceptable and nobody does anything until we get a better handle on it. Why haven't they?
Because the general public wouldn't stand for it that's why. In other words, those deaths ARE acceptable. We hope for the best, plan for the worst but overall we also have to accept reality, we're all going back to work, no not by April 15 and maybe not by May either but sooner than you think. We simply cannot afford to do otherwise. Yes it will be sugarcoated somewhat, they'll make us believe it's the best thing and NO it's not just because Trump wants to get re-elected because all the major governments will do the same and believe me they're already planning for it. They're not going to throw the entire world into the economic stone age because of this virus. I'm thinking it's not going to be that terrible but even if it is, we literally have no choice, we will just have to live with it.
Lets say the hopeful thinking comes true, that spring is here it will quiet down somewhat, almost go away in the summer but comes roaring back in the fall. We're going to shut down all the schools again, kill the entire new school year and everything else for another 6 months or whatever? No way will that happen. There is no second 2 trillion dollar bailout coming, we'd be on our own.
And yes folks, if we keep the world shut down for a long time (pick a number) like a year or more the the cure IS worse than the disease. It is "only" about a 1 percent fatality rate and of course 1 percent in absolute terms is a very large number. But...we can live with it and survive very well not because it's ok, or we're murderous serial killers or anything like that, it's because we'll have no choice. We'll live with it, keep working to eradicate it and move on.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows® Today!
Update your Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows for free with build 1111!
With this update, there's more control when saving images from the Print Preview window, we've added defaults to the MultiPicker for sorting and font size, updated printing options, updated RealTracks and other content, and addressed user-reported issues with the StylePicker, MIDI Soloists, key signature changes, and more!
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
