    Next tax cycle, at least in Texas.

    Sales tax revenue will decrease significantly....property taxes will be late or not paid at all.

    Maybe it hits them then?

    Commercial property taxes will be difficult to collect, indeed.

    To be clear, your strategy would be to pretend like there is nothing wrong, allowing the virus to run unchecked throughout the population, killing hundreds of thousands more people and arguable having a much greater impact on the economy that will be longer lasting just so you can say to stood bravely against it? What a well thought out and rational plan.

    Perhaps when they are held accountable for dumping their stocks prior to the beginning of the pandemic and then buying stocks in PPEs to profit from this bullshit.

    To be clear: Focus on something outside your hospital, which unless you are in NYC is mostly empty now anyway.

    I think I was with your frame of thought until a day or two ago. Then I realized something. Let’s take NYC: They’ll be on lockdown till, I don’t know... let’s say June 1st. Then things in the busiest city in America start moving again. Eventually, flights will open back up. And, now let’s say some asymptomatic asshole from another country coughs on a subway hand rail. The whole thing starts all over again. What do we do? Just keep shutting the city and the country down time and time again? Do we just repeat the same process until everyone gets it anyway?! We’re just delaying the inevitable.

    How about this... How about we let those under 55 with no discernible health conditions have a CHOICE. That’s the vast majority of America’s workforce. You’re over 55 or have a chronic health condition? Stay home. You can go out if you like, but you’re “forgiven” (let the bureaucrats work out what that means) if you stay home. Let the rest of us go out and build herd immunity. Do some of us die? Yeah... But then again... They’d have probably died anyway, Just six months down the road when their furloughed infection finally came back to haunt them.

    People are still into Icke's thing right now, I am guessing he even opened a door to this whole alternative reporting bizarro world. But his thing is too general, you're gonna need to fuel some other tendencies, find a scapegoat country, stuff like that. Plus, this thing has got this statistical element with which you can play endlessly, and Icke isn't a numbers guy. I even predict several new Ickes, a whole new market is opening, decentralized paranoia. Paranoia for the enlightened American or European gentleman, a product of higher education with a distrust for the accepted lies of the scientific community and their cronies in power, a love affair with his own intellect and common sense reasoning. This is large demographic, completely untapped until now.

    We'll see heads explode if this goes through, even in a reduced form. 'Essential' workers to get bonus.

    And in related news, the head of the oversight panel into the stimulus spending was canned by the president today.
