    Being in the wastewater treatment business, my old cronies are (fortunately) bulletproof as far as their jobs go. Ever’body has to flush.....

    Hello darkness, my old friend
    From what I can tell, the extremely rich seem to be the ones who most want things opened back up, because they can afford to insulate themselves, but a functioning economy drives their investment portfolio. Those who are going paycheck-to-paycheck are split--many are worried about their finances, but also worried about contracting an illness and spreading it to their families.

    So far, polls of the overall populous are in favor of continuing stay-at-home measures: https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/me...-home-restrictions-fight-coronavirus-n1187011

    .
    Our adjustment has been much easier than many because since we have retired & everyday is Saturday, and our kids are grown and gone and all doing well, we have it easy.
    We both believe in a very pro active approach in getting things going again and don't see why certain area's cant now. Eleven of twelve of our kids and their spouses are still working, hitting the stores going to Home Depot, bike riding and even doctor appointments. They are more worried about my wife and I because we like to stay active and outdoors and just never think things are as bad as they are, but we too are cautious, too a degree. I wait for her to go in the store and she waits for me to cruise Lowe's or Home Depot on occasion. She wears a mask and I don't, I would if I was feeling Ill.
    Im for opening things up some here and there next week or week after.

    April 13th 900 voters polled. Im sure not many from Oregon were polled and if so, from where. Its just depends on location and 10 days ago was a bit different than now, in many area's too.

    This is nationwide. I'm sure certain neighborhoods might deviate massively in either direction.

    That's interesting, that was more of a break down of party demographics (from what I could tell just looking at the graphs because I gotta hop back into work in a minute). Definitely the ultra-wealthy want people to work, but you can be financially secure and not extremely rich too.
    I wonder if there will be a tipping point too where people's finances start to become more important, maybe if socialism (haha I used that word simply because of your signature) takes over and the government takes some of that burden, maybe it won't matter. I know a few people who are definitely really hurting financially right now. I should probably gauge what their thoughts are about some of this.

    In Oregon to date there have been 4 deaths under 60 since Jan from covid-19.
    26 counties have 0 deaths and 10 counties 1 or more.
    Over half of the deaths in a few harder hit counties were from nursing/assisted living centers.

    A bit under 5% positive rate against 42K test. As we test more that rate will increase but so0 will the death rate most likely.

    There are hot spots for sure and we've learned social distancing works but a large percentage of the Oregon demographics are not as effected, so, with certain precautions couldn't some areas open sooner than others? I kind of think so.

    Check out the demographics under this link:
