Yeah, leading the lemmings off the cliff. This is what economic suicide looks like.

I can think of several things we need, maybe it's just me but that one isn't exactly on the list....

No point in arguing about definitions. This is the lockdown most of have known was coming. It could get stricter if it doesn't work.

Anyone know whether Ct, NJ and Pa are included? Cuomo claimed all week he wouldn't do this unless the other states all agreed at the same time but so far I can't figure out whether any of them have.

Most don’t even have a smartphone. Or $$$ to buy expensive groceries.

But that was 2 days ago list when he said 75% and a long list of essential workers. Now its 100%, new executive order and presumably there will be a new list. I work in construction but Im far from essential. Im building a high rise not a hospital.

I doubt I'm the only one who thinks this is going to be ineffective and economically destructive. The ones that agree need to make their voices heard, and in such a way that forces a reversal.

Even with this in a couple of months, they'll likely be big numbers (but a small percentage) dead, and the living will have to deal with a dead economy with no way to restart it.
