My days are just flowing from one to the next and I am really starting to forget what day it is. I guess that happens when your days are all pretty much the same. I just read about some states talking about reopening the economy. I have to be honest I'm not sure what that means. Does the economy actually close? I mean I spend money when I need to, just like any other time in my life. Wisconsin governor said in one sentence that the Stay at Home order is now till May 26th, then in the next sentence he says that he is working on getting the economy opened as soon as we can. Umm what? May 26th, wow, are you kidding me? Another month and a half of this? I seriously have to think about getting a part time job or something. I need to get out now and then and a little more money would be good. I need something to do for the next month and a half. Hope you all are doing alright. Hope you enjoy your Friday.

I've heard the same thing and that the first businesses to be opened would be daycare and schools. Now I don't know how true this is.

It must be really tough and I'm sure jobs are hard to come by at the moment.

How long can people economically hold out? It is impossible for the government to subsidize the entire population for months and months.

It is the mixed feelings of people do need to work to be able to survive, but then...how can people work if they get sick? I think all states should just wait until the end of April and see how things go and stop giving people hope with early dates and then disappoint them by extending it.

Yes, some are trying to say early dates and other are saying the end of May so who knows.
