With these differing reopen dates between states, the first states to open will be flooded with job applications from people in locked down states. If Democrat governors get too cute with their dates, people will flee their states at even greater rates. I do not think that is farfetched at all. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what's more boring, not working for 5 days straight, or getting out of the house to go to work... and do next to nothing for 8 hours. Think of it this way. You might be bored but at least you're not as bad off as 3rd Chair who's stuck in an office under the stairs that doubles as janitor's closet. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justice Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 It’s funny but the same people that lauded Trump for discontinuing flights from China are the same ones that support the potential lifting of the lockdown. How can you be both at this time without a vaccine or cure in place? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Anything other than taking a granular approach to re-opening the states is going to be a complete and utter disaster. I hear Cuomo telling everyone we have flattened the curve in NY when 600 people a day are still dying in the state, and the cases have tripled in my county in the last three days. I'd prefer they wait to reopen the states until they have a vaccine, otherwise this is thing is going to ravage the country on a large scale to appease people's want to be out in society. Move to fast on this and there wont be a society to go back to. It will be completely inane to open up full states on a given day. It needs to staggered and NYS has no business reopening anything until Summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many have also questioned if there is a realistic plan in place barring a vaccine. (I guess we find that out tonight.) Just because people support President Trump, do not assume they blindly, continually, support President Trump in all things. There are even people in this sub-forum who have been unhappy with how he has handled this in real-time (although hindsight is always 20/20). 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Democrat governors get too cute with their dates, people will flee their states at even greater rates. I don't see this happening to a sizable degree. Sure, somebody in Coudersport, PA might apply for a job in Wellsville, NY if NY opens and PA is still locked down. But most of these out of state applicants will have problems in terms of a place to live and this will be apparent to employers. Also, employers will be concerned that out of staters will readily leave once the home state opens back up. Further, most employers will most likely go with people that they had ahead of the crisis as they were known quantities. Sure, some employers will make changes but as to what concerns most people in WNY I see very little change ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they rush back to work they either atent going to not have a life to worry about paycheck to paycheck for or they will be sitting in a hospital tent counting the months anyways. People need to start being more resourceful outside of just waiting for an unemployment check. It sucks but thats the reality of whats going on. A lot of jobs wont be there to go back to.

Maybe so, maybe not. Do not discount that people have built immunity/antibodies and we have something now that can help cure the virus. Things are in better shape than they were a few months ago. We have ventilators, a treatment, tests, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
