    Flu is one thing....coronavirus is something different. They dont know what this is really. It's an unknown ordeal really and that's what sparks the fear. It has spread very rapidly so I dont think it's fair to say that coronavirus is overrated. Lots of people have died quickly so there is definitely something going on

    I think you're ok as far as work. The law will probably get those people who are just joy riding or hanging out not doing anything constructive. My wife told me in Millington that they have an even more strict lockdown

    Everyone has to be so serious, everything has to be such an utter crisis. No one can be happy anymore. Not you at least.

    If this is to be the world's last days, Go enjoy them with your wife.

    It's not the worlds last days.

    It is a national crisis and everyone must be personally responsible with protecting themselves and others.

    Ignoring the obvious will not make it go away.

    Those who do not take it seriously will ultimately be the cause of government posing harsh restrictions on everyone.

    Just like the fmcsa and the hours of service rules.

    It's a few irresponsible drivers who always push the limits and force strict legislation.

    I'd like to know how they can stop the unemployment. If they aren't going to work you.

    I'd be raising heck for some pay.

    If they can't work you. They can't stop the UI

    This is correct...
    The employer can fight it but in the end they will lose.
    I had this happen before when an employer tried to deny me when he fired me without cause.
    I not only got my unemployment but my previous employer had to pay me back pay he owed me.
     
    snowwy Thanks this.

    He's still employed until laid off/fired. Can't collect UE if you've got a job.
