Some are saying that a shutdown like this could happen every 3 months until the virus is better handled.

Naw, I'm quarantined a the lake and taking my quinine and zinc.  Won't let the daughters visit and only going out for necessities wearing a mask. 

Good news, the completely wrong data has been reanalyzed and over stated death estimates have been revised downward and now the numbers are more like a normal flu.  Yep its different and highly contagious, of course social distancing always helps, but meds are working, respirator high pressure is now known to be bad, and so treatment is more correct and more effective.

Even with that, it looks people won't be able to start going back to work until May. I was on a conference call this morning and my company is saying we will most likely still be working from home going into July.

Yeah, my company has stated anything, but I know it'll be at least late-May for us to return to normal; but most of our Corp office is WFH.  I think Doug (and many others) are hopeful that the lesser people, who can't work from home, will get out there soon to get the economy running again.

Who are these lesser people? Sounds like a liberal term... you know we're all Gods children. 

You are incorrect again, my hope is that folks that want to work can and will be able to feed their families and pay their bills and not lose what they have worked so hard to obtain.  I'm not untouched from this in quite a few ways including an income cut (probably killed or seriously injured the bonus for 2020 too) and we furloughed some last week and reorganized and said goodbye to some this week. Far tougher times than are warranted by CV19 had it been handled properly from the beginning in Wuhan.

Lesser people...and I quote, "can't work from home."

E.g., those who can't work from home, can't be productive.

One of my buddies sent a pic of a full cooler of meat at Ferguson’s in Cumming the other day

I went to Wilks, also in Cumming this past Sunday and they had plenty of meat. Lot of Briskets.
