Stock Market Crash

We shouldn’t.

If they want a bailout, ask Turks and Caicos or wherever you register ships.
 
Maybe I’m overly optimistic, but I don’t think anywhere in America will be as bad as NYC. There’s just nowhere with the same population density as NYC.

Other cities have similar density here and there, but nowhere is it as consistent.

Yes.

I heard that if you have an account on file (i.e. you got your tax refund electronically), you can get the check electronically. Otherwise, paper.

There is also nowhere with the same density of hospitals and medical care providers and ICU beds. Sure the raw number of dead will be lower everywhere else but consider the hospital in my Alabama town. It is pretty much the only hospital in the surrounding 5 or 6 counties. It's got 50 total ICU beds and as of today had 47 active cases of confirmed or presumed patients (28 show all the symptoms but still waiting on tests). That 47 is just hospitalized cases, doesn't include all the people they said "go home and quarantine your self, if you get worse come back" to. That hospital is definitely going to be completely overwhelmed in 2 weeks.
 
I think I’ve mentioned this before. I have a friend who works for the Congressional Research Service. One question she regularly gets from aides of red state MOCs is “How can we increase funding for rural hospitals?”

The answer is always, “Expand Medicaid. That’s what it’s for..” And they’re perplexed.

That said, I have a friend at Tufts and she said they're loaning space to area hospitals.
