Gonna have to pile on. I live in Florida and have anecdotally seen all of this. I can buy a huge box of farm veggies for $10 because the cruise industry is shut down as well as hotels and restaurants. Food banks here are turning free food away as they are full. Hospital staff has been on several news reports as a hard hit sector for job losses. I cant speak to the cows though.

Fins isn’t wrong. This is bad in the long run for everyone. If it keeps going society will crumble (don’t mark my words).

Listen, don't make me embarrass you like I had to do with OOFFF. I told him about how a previous administration FAILED to restock the pandemic supply stocks after virtually wiping it out in 2009 form H1N1. He called me a liar. I gave him links to the actual federal budget docs for FEMA and HHS that showed that no $$$ were allocated to the effort for the next decade. I let him run with it. I had my answer, I knew I was right. So I posted to him this link, from a source both you and OOFFF would trust and obviously can't tell me is fake news since it's been used in the past. Here ya go.

None of what I wrote is a lie. It is truth. I'm seeing it first hand, right now. Hide your head in the sand, don't care. Our overreaction to this bug will be devastating economically to us and the world.

So how does Trump fit into this leftist conspiracy theory? If this thing isn't as bad as what the medical experts say, why isn't he removing the recommendations to stay at home?

that's a great question. However....
I'm going to stop there. I've already been warned by the mods about getting political. So Imma gonna pump the brakes right now. cheers.

I would bet the Trump company gets a major bailout by the next administration.

Quick...run along and tell the doctors at Yale they are idiots for using hydroxychloroquine in their current protocol.

"YNHH’s COVID-19 current treatment protocol, which was released April 3, calls for the use of experimental medications. Kaminski explained that physicians “in the trenches” fighting the COVID-19 pandemic have to quickly decide how to best help patients. The protocol alleviates that burden, providing a general roadmap for treatment.

YNHH currently has an “aggressive” treatment protocol, Kaminski said, that advises physicians to administer medication more frequently than other hospitals’ protocols specify.

According to Kaminski, doctors will inevitably make errors in treating the disease because they “need to act” and “don’t have all the information.” Despite the risk of criticism should its protocol have mistakes, YNHH has published it online to make it accessible to other hospitals and to receive feedback.

For patients with severe COVID-19 who require supplemental oxygen, the protocol advises doctors to administer Hydroxychloroquine — the malarial drug that President Trump touted as a potential game-changer in COVID-19 treatment — to prevent the virus from infecting more lung cells."

I'll touch on this. Our family land abuts the Duda properties in Florida south of Lake O. We've (my family) been farming the area since the early 30's. Further we run a large sod production operation on the west central part of the state just east of tampa bay. Although I don't directly run the farming operation, my cousins do, I am intimately knowledgeable of what is going on with our property and products.

If it was cannabis instead of a 70yr old malaria drug that had anecdotal benefit that was in question......this wouldnt even be a discussion.

Even if it was the current potus telling us all pot is goood...m'kay

A link to a Twitter photograph of the current Yale Medical Covid Protocol release on 4/3. Hydroxycholoquine is literally step one for anyone who is curious.

Offshoot - Forget pot in all regards: Legalize Cocaine that’s the ticket. Why? Nothing to do with the corona virus, but to get this economy roaring again - Not many if any CEOs if any made their way to the top on pot... Rationalize this. Cocaine pure energy work harder, get things done, climb the corporate ladder like in the 80s. Few murders of course, but in the end Coke users die off hard and there will be upward mobility forever. Pot, not so much. Definitely an offshoot, just an opinion... to slide in.

Not for me, too lazy.
