Don't know how many of you are paying attention to the mystery (yes, mystery) illness hitting children in NY, LA, MI, IL, and Louisiana, but if it is connected to corona than it opens up a whole new situation. It resembles Kawasaki disease, but isn't. And it's hitting corona hotspots. Pretty scary.

Kawasaki?

If so, been around for 40 years and thousands get it each year. It is sort of an after effect of having a major virus from what I read.

Have they actually confirmed it is not Kawasaki?

Most things I read said they were pretty sure it was.  Will check again this evening and read more

Welp, I’m getting furloughed today. It’s probably 50-50 on whether I’ll get to come back in August.

President and CFO project this will continue through the fall and into next spring. 

Sorry to hear it, man. The longer this goes the more people that are going to end up in this boat. I was furloughed over a month ago. If you haven't applied for unemployment stop whatever you're doing right now and do that right now. The systems are swamped. It might not be a quick process. We're fortunate that my wife hasn't been furloughed... yet. But her workplace has been talking furloughs and layoffs since the beginning of this, so honestly it won't be the least bit surprising if it happens.

It is eventually going to get a lot worse if something doesn't give soon.  I may make it until the end of this month but after that who knows?

Sorry, you'll probably need to be laid off/starve so the Karen's of the world can claim "victory" in their great "war" against the curve... Is it insane to think that in a free country people should be able to assess the risks of the virus to them and then choose how much they want to expose themselves/their family/ect.  via their previously normal day to day activities?  Isn't it a bit heavy-handed that government gets to choose who gets laid off and who is "essential"?  And for the idiots who are going to come in with cool examples of government intervention in the name of public safety like the "seatbelt", please give me examples of where a mandatory seatbelt cost someone their livelihood.

Even if everyone is allowed to go out and do anything they want, a significant number of people will be too scared to do anything.

That fear is going to suppress the economy for a while. I really don’t think we will start to see the end of this thing until next year at this time. 
 

The good news is there seems to be a floor to this. Only so many people will stay home indefinitely.

I expect 30%+ unemployment by The fall.

If I’m brought back to work, I’ve been told it will most likely be at reduced pay. They expect revenue to be down 30% over the next 12 months so they want to try to structure compensation accordingly.

I am curious what field of work you are in that you are getting let go this late into this ?  As well as the rest of you.

I'm expecting salary dumps in every sector.  I'm a prime candidate, senior exec 3 years from retirement eligibility with a salary in the range you would expect for my experience level.  Easier to replace for half the cost.

Hate to hear that. I have some friends in similar situations.

If you can say, what industry are you in?

Well get to learin' some programming.  Former Carolinian, current Coloradoan, Panther fan... 

No desire. My two least favorite school subjects were foreign language and math. Programming is like a combination of both. I'd be miserable.

Much thanks on helping hand, but it would just be an awful fit.

    • I knew he was hedging for a raise.  
    • I definitely respect your opinion more than Tracy McGrady, Vince Carter, and Carmelo Anthony (whom I just watched on their show, all saying NOBODY wants to get the Hornets in the post-season). You win.
    • For all the good feelings about Bryce Young, when you read between the lines, it's what DC says and doesn't say that makes us know that Bryce hasn't necessarily been the supercomputer that they thought he would be. This season, Bryce has to make a tangible progression on the field. "A big part of it is being able to operate at the line of scrimmage — not in the huddle — when we want to, and he’s certainly capable of that," Canales said about Young. "It’s not solely on him. It’s a group that’s pretty young. You have to trust all the guys to go up there, communicate verbally or nonverbally and execute what we’re doing. We’ve made huge strides in that regard. His ability to alter things based on what they’re giving you will give us another edge, which he’s continued to grow and had some great examples down the stretch where he identified things they were doing, got us to the right check and capitalized on some plays. Want to see him do that more when it’s appropriate. We don’t need to be changing things just to change it." The implications, perhaps insinuations, are pretty evident. Bryce is just going to have to do better. "And then for Bryce, it’s the identification of early on the cues that the defense are giving us, to be able to eliminate parts of your progression before the ball’s even snapped. That happens with time. I’ve seen quarterbacks really own and master, which allows them to play lightning fast." Obviously Bryce isn't necessarily picking things up as fast as Canales would like, and I can only assume that Canales is making comparisons to Russell Wilson, Geno Smith and Baker Mayfield. But, of course, not everyone picks things up at the same rate. Bryce's pace has left Canales wanting for more. During the coming season, I don't believe that it will be good enough for Bryce to start putting things together in December, evidence of the light switch being on is going to have to show itself in September. Basically, it's really the moment that we've all been waiting for, the one that we thought should've happened earlier, the one that brings Bryce's accountability in the spotlight. On an off note, perhaps to that end, we should consider the possible implications upon the draft, but that's another story. Basically, it's time for Bryce to sh¡t or get off the pot. https://roundtable.io/sports/nfl/panthers/news/carolina-panthers-dave-canales-holds-nothing-back-on-bryce-young-in-new-interview
