Schif Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 A quick thought on the number of cash transactions. There are always going to be a certain number of people who don't necessarily want their purchasing to be tracked and will use cash for these kind of things. Before it seems like I"m talking about conspiracy theorists think about college kids who would rather use cash at the bar or liquor store rather than their parents seeing it on the statement, or the guy that buys skis with cash from a shop so his wife doesn't realize how much he actually spent on his 9th pair of skis in 2 years..... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toast21602 Posted March 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 11+k cases now in the US. As testing (hopefully) increases it is going to expose all of the transmission that occurred when we were way behind. Hopefully we don't end up with critical hospital issues like Italy, but I have a feeling that is in our future. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you extrapolate there will be at least a couple hundred thousand cases in the US in two weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrilledSteezeSandwich Posted March 19, 2020 Report Share Posted March 19, 2020 The governors website crashes which has the list of non life sustaining businesses. I wonder if banks and payroll companies are considered life sustaining. What about the post office. If we are just allowed to go to the grocery stores and pharmacies and takeout food that’s pretty much the way it is already. The allentown farmers market was open today and apparently it was one of the busiest days in their history and the mood was very tense and there were also long lines.
