Come May 1 or May 15th, the pressure could be on to get back to work, but...

...there's not a snowball's chance that there will be enough tests available and probably not enough PPE. A lot of people (including me) are going to be forced into deciding whether to be broke or sick. I am not looking forward to May.

I believe most will say that the odds are in their favor, not caring about spreading it to those Hoyt Apr 2020 #2

NW, I can't see them doing the beginning of May. At least two more weeks but would say end of May? LizBeth Apr 2020 #3

It's why I'm glad I'm retired. I don't have to deal with these decisions. The people who will be at the most risk are the ones that can least choose not to go to work.

who are on the wrong end of the odds (elderly, frail, chronic conditions, etc.).

But, you are right, it will not be pretty. And the political aspect of this could carry into November election.

Right? Time to be calling the boss so thinking about it today. I mean, I am just getting unemployment getting kicked in. It will be the last week in March, but geez, it has taken a month to get a pay out.
