Businesses That Are Going To Fail

By week 2, unemployment went from 3% to 10%.

It really hasn't occurred to most of you that businesses fail from not engaging in business. This just tells me the socialist indoctrination centers (schools) have utterly failed to explain how business works.

And let me stick in a note here that no matter what you think of the type of business, they have employees who suffer first. Go ahead and get your hate-on about whomever, but the wage earners will be out of jobs.

Most businesses operate on tiny margins, especially stores and restaurants. Now, restaurants that can do takeout are managing, mostly (at reduced capacity and with reduced employees). But fine dining establishments or sit-down-only ethnic restaurants aren't. They're closed. That means no income for any of the owners or employees, followed shortly by no income for the landlord, who is also probably a small business, so stow your socialist-indoctrinated hate.

Keep in mind that every one that fails means unemployed workers as well. And just because YOU can find a workaround for their product, doesn't put money in THEIR pocket.

Here's a partial list I will expand:
Theaters, who have managers, ushers, concessionaires, ticket takers.
Restaurants and bars who have managers, cooks, servers, cleaners.
Restaurants need food suppliers. If they're not selling food, they're not ordering food from the suppliers. (One corresepondent reports his factory produces sliced cheese. 80% drop in orders with so many restaurants closed or doing less business.)

Specialty retailers--bookstores, hobby stores.

Hotels--no one is renting rooms if they're not traveling for leisure or business. Hotels employ maintenance, housekeepers, clerks, often entertainers.
Convention facilities--who have lots of overhead, and lots of staff and/or contractors for support, displays, decorations, etc.
Venues for music or live theater.
Gyms aren't getting anything without guests and attendees.
MUSICIANS, ACTORS AND OTHER PERFORMERS for whom you've cancelled literally every gig in the next quarter. I know a couple of bona-fide rock stars, who don't earn nearly as much as you think they do, who have to hold out until JUNE hoping for potential shows. Their entire tours have been cancelled.

Event planners for weddings and other events. There's no venues to hold them in.
Anything tourism related--retailers, guides, other activities.

Transportation related to those--airlines (already taking massive hits), tour buses.
Since I write SF, I assume a number of readers do. At least two SF literary conventions have already quit for good. They can't afford to hold everything over another year. They're done permanently. That's more hotel room-nights and concessions not being used next year.

With all those closed, beverage and food concessionaires and distributors are out of work.

Within days, trucking and delivery companies for anything other than the essentials.

This was interesting:

This is unsurprising since its “residents suffer from obesity, diabetes and hypertension at rates higher than the national average, conditions that doctors and public health officials say can make patients more vulnerable to COVID-19,” writes Reuters.

“Some 97% of those killed by COVID-19 in Louisiana had a preexisting condition, according to the state health department. Diabetes was seen in 40% of the deaths, obesity in 25%, chronic kidney disease in 23% and cardiac problems in 21%,” the site continues.

This accords with data from Italy, mind you, which showed that more than 99 percent of the deceased had pre-existing conditions.

There are also other possible factors in New Orleans’ high Wuhan virus mortality rate, “ranging from access to healthcare and hospital quality, to the prevalence of other conditions including lung disease, health officials say,” Reuters further informs.

Having lived in Louisiana and New Orleans, I would expect a high death rate due to the virus. This virus like most serious infections takes a high toll on those that are in poor health and Louisiana is one of the most if not the most unhealthy state in the country. High rates of smoking, alcohol abuse, Obesity, and low birthweight has lead to some of the highest rates for many diseases. However, as a good friend in New Orleans says, "All those raw vegetable, fruits, and nut might add years to my life but it wouldn't be worth it without my Crawfish Gumbo, Shrimp Etouffee, Hushpuppies, Greens and Hamhocks, Cornbread slathered in butter, and a 16 oz mug of Abita Amber followed by hot Beignets and a cup of Chicory Coffee."

The bottom 25 states don't have hardly 100 deaths between them.

New York is dying.

New York/New Jersey have 1/2 of the active cases in the U.S.

And the U.S. has about 1/3 of the active cases in the world.
It’s clear at least here that the more jammed packed we are the worse it is.
Correct, the experiment failed
It's now 22 as the virus has started spreading into less populated states. Of the 25 states you referred to, all but 4 has a population of less than a million. It's kind of hard for a virus to spread in a state with just one person per square mile compared to Manhattan with a population density of 63,000 people per square mile.
 
LMFAO.

HUGE! From CDC Website: Hospitals to List COVID-19 as Cause of Death Even if It's "Assumed to Have Caused Or Contributed to Death" - Lab Tests Not Required

Thank you for sharing this. Can you provide the site link.

I have read this in some other articles.

Sure give me a few.


Italy could also have overestimated COVID-19–related deaths because of the different way its officials define it, classifying the death of anyone who tested positive for the disease as related to the coronavirus, regardless of whether they had underlying illnesses that could have independently led to death.

A chart review of 355 COVID-19 patients who died in Italy revealed a high percentage with underlying diseases that could have increased their risk of death independently of the infection, the authors said.
And they could have also underestimated because they tested only those that they were pretty sure were infected. An Italian doctor on the news this morning thinks the deaths are much higher than reported.
 
The only thing we know about COVID-19 situation is what we hear from media and government news releases.

Here is the interesting video from someone who went to check Brooklyn hospital himself...



... and few more videos around New York.




The non jamned nature of 90% of the hospital is Not something that the panic proponent media and libs will allow to get out via the media

Excellent excellent work

Because that is not something worth reporting. How dumb. Should they also report the employment level, instead of the unemployment level?
 
Another 1,084 deaths and 21,816 more new cases today in the United States.

So far.

How many cases are for the novel corona virus, and how many dead are from COVID-19?
The Novel Coronavirus or more properly, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 ( SARS-CoV-2) is name of virus that causes the disease know as Covid 19 which is a is a type of pneumonia .
 
LMFAO.

No one has yet to explain what a test gets one? Why? You all keep saying test test and then what? The stupid that’s flowing from these hoax people is amazing. Stop falling for the fake reports

Close to 7,800 people die in US every day, from any causes.

The way it's reported, number of people died from COVID-19 should go on top of all other deaths. If testing is not done, we would never know if those who died, died from all other causes or from COVID-19.
Yep, sad to make it worse than it is to increase the fear. Can’t be honest, I won’t buy into the hysteria

It’s dishonest no matter how you want to spin it
