fresh off the Biden/Harris website.........
So what happens To hiring or our jobs on Jan 21 when the new administration institutes a 4-6 week national shut down

Apparently Wall Street is excited, that 20% jump in airline stocks two days ago has all but disappeared.

Prob ok seeing as they’d have to give psp and a check to every person. I think it’s all talk but I wouldn’t put anything past anyone either.

I just read the Covid plan on their website.

It doesn't say a word about a national lock down/ stay at home order. It does however say that he is going to ask governors to have statewide mask wearing rules while inside.

So just settle down.

The good news is, the vaccine is looking likely to be approved before Biden even gets into office. The real challenge ahead will be getting people to actually take the vaccine. Some polls show only 40% of people say they will take the vaccine. That's the biggest problem we have going forward.

Also, fun fact: the Pfizer vaccine is a 2 dose, 21 days apart regimen. Which is unfortunate

Your always a gem. Based on your post your all about mandated vaccines for everyone, no thanks. You’ll be first in line when they tell you to get on the trains also.

One of Biden’s top COVID advisers has recommended closing everything down again for 4 to 6 weeks, and borrowing the money to continue paying everyone. With the radicals surrounding Biden expect anything.

Oh, I am for mandated vaccines? I didn't know that. Thanks for letting me know what I think, appreciate it.

I mentioned that a large percentage of our population is apprehensive about getting a vaccine, and suddenly I'm the first in line to get on a train to a concentration camp? Holy sh*t dude.... That comment doesn't deserve any response.

Yes, one of Bidens advisors thinks another stay at home order would help. I get that. If that actually happens or not (which I suspect it will not) is a different story. Having an idea, and actually implementing it are totally different things.

I'm curious if you find the paycheck protection plan that has already occurred in this country to be radical? Or is it only radical when Biden does it? Trump and Mitch McConnell already did a massive, 3 trillion dollar deal that included Pay check protection. Was that radical or only when Biden does it? Do you think the govt should do anything to try to stop the spread of the virus?

The misconception that you can stop the spread of a virus is the 800lb gorilla in the room.

Any freedoms taken in the name of something that is impossible are egregious. Wear masks when appropriate, absolutely. Stay a safe distance from people in public spaces, sure. Enforce smart cleaning standards on business that are open to the public, of course. But to force the closing of businesses and cause the destruction of people's lives and life savings to stop an airborne virus that cannot be stopped is criminal.

CNBC: President-elect Joe Biden's Covid advisors nix idea of U.S. lockdown to curb pandemic.

So there's that....

Some people still think Trump will win and that Q is a real person... not worth even talking with people like that. There has to be common ground in order to have a conversation

Not to get political, but I think that 40% number willing to take the vaccine will jump once Biden takes office. Also maybe the surprising 90% efficacy rate will influence more people to take it.
