All our family except one daughter is now laid off...what the hell are you talking about? I see nothing positive period...it is not about sitting home. It about being screwed period and you might die too...and it may go on for months...who knows if your company even survives. Experts are talking about 20 % unemployment...depression era unemployment...the jobs report so bad they are hiding it.

God forbid Democrats should keep harping on Trump's grotesque, unforgivable fuck-up.
