With the 6.65 million new people filing for unemployment last week, have we reached that peak, or will there be even more numbers soon? That's 10 million people out of work in a two weeks. Employment report comes out tomorrow morning, but may not reflect everything.

Good source and constantly updated.

Officially over a million cases per this source.

man, how is the service sector ever gonna fully recover?

between the pathogen concerns, and the increases in automation, dang.

on a related note, are cam girl revenues way up? I can only imagine, considering how many strippers are suddenly out of work, and how many patrons have nowhere else to see a naked chick dance around.

15% Unemployment is also very optimistic. I could see if going into the 20s easily.

Seems like this thing hasn't hit Manhattan too hard, although people work in the city, and live in the outer boroughs

There is going to be a very, very stark distinction in outcomes on race/income lines.

Anything less than 30% is a victory.

Fucking brutal.

Yeah, 30% was what I saw in most projections, and that was based on last weeks numbers.

Also, using her 7,500 deaths per day, that means that at the very least, 1% of deaths in the US are because of Covid-19 right now. And this thing is just starting.

About 1350 reported deaths yesterday of COVID in US. So about 18% of deaths using that 7,500 number. 18x increase in 8 days.

Cuomo says on CNN today that deaths are declining. Hope hes right, NY on pace to have more of both cases and deaths today than yesterday. 630 deaths yesterday Already 594 new deaths today...its 1:15pm there

Yikes:



Solid!



In other news, Wells Fargo also stopped opening accounts for people who didn't know they had them:

Yay! Mission accomplished?!?

What's the over/under that Psych is relieved every time dolomite/Imzcount passes through, because at least, temporarily, he won't come across as the most whacko-brained conspiracy theorist here?

The idea that anyone would treat Yellen -- or Bernanke or Powell or, hell, even Greenspan -- as an honest observer or a voice of authority any longer simply amazes me.

And so now, for a report on the Great Chicago Fire, we go live to Mrs. O'Leary's Cow...

Multiply that by 10, and you'll get some idea of how we've felt since shortly after republicans started forcing supply side economics down our throats, 4 decades ago.

Oh.

You're the one who keeps celebrating every time a new wave of horrible financial news comes through. There's really not another rational explanation for that kind of behavior.
