Idk about that. Foreseeable future could mean anything, I mean who can foresee even 2 weeks from now? It could be gone forever, it maybe just until things stabilize and trend back up...which could be a long time to be fair

I don't think current plans are to completely close the base. A temporary realignment is more likely. Fortunately it also sounds like they are considering taking CAREs loans, which would make us basically furlough proof until the end of September.

Remember this at the end of May when the union and the company want us to continue to get 60 hr min guarantee “to prevent furloughs”. If they take govt money and unless they can come up with some other legitimate reason for reducing our guarantee, we should snap back to 75 hrs AND nobody gets furloughed.

Chinky Chow? Seriously, get a grip. Wuhan virus would not be "more valid" that Covid-19. It's a colloquial term for a scientific virus. Practically by definition it's less valid.
It's not that you can't say it came from China. But don't pretend it doesn't have consequences. People will be irresponsible and blame Chinese people writ large when it is not the fault of Chinese people writ large. It's not even the fault of Wuhan. Just call it Covid-19 please.

If you want to go out there and say, hey this virus originated in China and their government is complicit in the worldwide spread by not regulating these markets and suppressing free speech, I'm here for it. Totally agree. But "Chinese Virus" does not accomplish that goal whatsoever.
There is a lot of power in a name, and insisting on associating this virus with China in general *will* result in irresponsible actions against people from China who did nothing wrong.
