LOL. Seriously?

This "tracker" counts only 316 companies. I am guessing in my small hometown alone there is more than 316 companies that have laid off people.

Business Insider (which I'll trust over your tracker there) is saying that nearly half of all Americans will be unemployed this month....

This is going to be a devsasting blow to the world economy. You think we are going to "open up" again and suddenly restaurants will go back to hiring full staff, and having a restaurant full of people? Do you think people are going to go to movies, bars, nightclubs, sporting events, concerts? We have a amphitheater near us that sits 20k people and they've told their staff they do not expect to open this year. Even when we open up some people will not be interested in going out because they are scared of the virus, other people will not be able to afford anything because they've lost their jobs, and others will fear the economy is getting worse so they will spend less.

This is going to be bad.
