Are you, your family or someone you know laid off from the China virus issue?
I was mentally prepared for the two weeks I was told my layoff would be. Now with Ohio saying lock down all of May too boot I am getting concerned for what the numbers will be.

my two sons one is a maintenance "person " at a plant that has to run to keep plastic containers made for P&G and other's in the USA and Canada gave them a permit to be on the road if pulled over but her in Ohio not really needed yet
my other son a foreman of sorts at a hog farm and well we got to eat LOL
Thinking about laying myself off for the next couple months. 2 of the 3 preexisting medical conditions that would make contracting this Virus, very bad for me.
Making so little money per week, no health insurance for the next 2.5 months, (too late) and exposed big time in the public environment. Thinking it only prudent. Trying to come to a decision. I feel it it to be in my best interests, to self isolate.
Two confirmed cases now in my small, very rural town.
I know several laid off from different restaurant closings,, 72 year old gentleman about. Mile down the road passed away yesterday from this china bug
Thanks Butchdog, trying to make a decision as to what is in my best interests.
Two of them are having a very hard time applying for unemployment benefits due to state system overload.
Pretty sure my future fate will be to do everything I can to help them and their families get through this. Even if it means going into debt to do so. My wife and I both have several medical issues that would most likely end our existence if the China syndrome were to find us. Having a conservative financial mindset right now is meaningless.
