FIFTH TSA agent to test positive at Orlando Intl Airport

https://twitter.com/fox35orlando/status/1242282777854316545

The Transportation Security Administration says a fifth security officer has tested positive for coronavirus at the Orlando International Airport.

And Gov Ron lamented yesterday about the number of people flying in from the NY area. And today enacted a 14-day self-isolation request for anyone coming in that has a fever. A request that is 100% unenforceable

If only, as a Governor, there were something he could do...

INDIANAPOLIS, IN — Governor Eric Holcomb announced in a Monday afternoon press conference a Stay-At-Home Order for Indiana, taking effect 11:59 p.m. Tuesday, through Monday, April 6, but could be extended if the coronavirus pandemic warrants it.

This comes as the state's number of the coronavirus cases hit 259 as of Sunday, in addition to 7 deaths, according to the Indiana State Department of Health.

Easy way to explain why corporations do NOT need a bailout

A corporation is NOT a person. It's certainly not a family. It's an entity that holds assets and uses labor to produce a good or provide a service.

If all of that labor goes away, the corporation will cease to exist.

If the corporation cannot sell its product or services, it will cut back on labor. If it cuts back enough, its value on the market, aka stock price, will fall accordingly. It will fall to the point where some other group or corporation will be willing to buy what's left and, after the medical crisis passes, start rebuilding the corporation and producing product or providing services.

Bailing out a corporation will NOT save jobs as it will not create demand for its products or services...it only saves the owners (stockholders). Bailing out corporations flies in the face of capitalism, esp. the conservative view of it as it is today.

Bailing out Americans allows them to actually LIVE (to buy food, medicine, keep their home, etc)
