To put this into context.
During the 2008 -2009 recession the worst job loss month we had was 800,000 we just quadrupled that.
The upcoming job losses will be unlike anything the US has ever seen
We also have just lost more jobs in one month than we did in the entire year of 2008.
Total 2008 job loss: 2.6 million - Jan. 9, 2009
In this is just for ONE WEEK not an entire month.![]()
The difference is tho people were out trying to find jobs then now they aren’t allowed to

What is with this “fear mongering” buzzword?
Corona virus news came out in October of 2019, if not earlier same time as the flu season. These are the numbers FROM THE CDC.
Maaaaan, in any case, you take a system that went for-profit a few decades ago and slim down available hospital beds and of course global health crises would bring it to its knees In densely populated areas. The problem is to ensure it doesnt spread more, things not coronavirus related are being put on hold, fam. There is a reason people have to get worse and call ahead before going....they already full. Protective gear shortages...this is not something to be downplayed.
