COVID-19 day 9

Yea I missed a day

My worries that when every kid tried to live stream school would break the internet proved unfounded.  The school is going to post homework in google classroom and have google hangout available but not stream to every kids computer.  Thank God.  If the internet breaks we will go full lord of the flies, Mad Max crazy.

Other fun facts.  Thank goodness that the government is basically going to bail out pretty much every business because ---well any well managed business can't avoid bankruptcy if they have no revenue for 1-3 months.  A friend of mine who runs a most excellent business, and runs it about as well as any business could be run will need to either raise cash (hard) or need his banks to waive payment on his loans because there is no way he has cash on hand for 3 months of debt payments and no revenue.

He also was a little slow in buying thermometers to take employee's temps.  He has businesses in 5 states and each state is doing things a little differently, but he pretty much has to take each employee's temp every day.  Two weeks ago he could have bought a bunch of thermometers that scan your forehead and give you a temp.  Today the only thing left available was up the butt thermometers.  Yup, his company would need to take over 1k temps anally every day.  Everything is fluid but I am pretty sure his HR department would shit a brick if managers were........I can't even go there.  You get the idea I am sure.

On the positive side Aspen is a lovely place to walk dogs and hike and x-country ski during lock down.  Also my kids have decided to try to sleep through quarantine which they are doing a pretty good job of, waking before noon is a rarity.

The big question coming up is to pay the rent or not?  Hummmmmmm.
