Insider dirt if you want it.

Nothing that hasn’t been hinted at/suspected,, but in TN, a mandatory 2-4 week quarantine is coming pronto. Skraight from CDC contact. At the federal level, an interstate restriction is all that’s constitutional, so state/local mandates have to be issued by those officials, and those timelines are what’s being pushed federally.
If you’ll notice,, everything is being gradually shut down in an orderly fashion....schools, sports, certain businesses.....it’s the boiling frog methodology....all at once would pretty much lead to riots and chaos.

Not going to lie, I have real concerns about this

Impacting the viability of my business. I just went from Dec-Jan-Feb being back to back to back record months, and now I’m doing some back of the napkin calculations on what are the triggers for layoffs and who goes first.
My business, by design, does quite well in a down market. I never designed it though for a customer base who is locked in their home and fearing for their life.

As long as our clients keep paying their bills, we’ll be fine

Gonna be some hard conversations once they start seeing their revenue impact and cutting back. Was setting up for a great year before this.
We should be good for 3-6 months, just cutting back on partners bonuses as needed. Try our best to absorb pain at our level and not pass it down to employees.
We’re not quite setup for entire office to work remotely. 1-2 at a time for a few days is no problem. Everybody has not been tested.
Things like setting up VPN for all, do we reimburse for internet, do we need to pay cell phone or ask employees to give personal cell# to clients.
Crazy times.

These types of businesses are what will take a hurting over the next few months. Will any of these funds that are being released as a part of this "National Emergency" be available to you?

So far I read that additional credit lines or easier access to borrow money will be available. We don’t like carrying debt so this could be a new experience.

they are in talks of how to shut everything down without creating panic.
And yes, the "boiling frog" analogy is applicable.

Hows the ski trip looking? Canceled I assume
Mar 16, 2020, 9:24 AM

My biggest concern is if these steps will be the precedent for future outbreaks. We didn't see this with N1H1, Swine or bird flu, the Zeka or West Nile viruses. Next time this happens do we go to immediate lock down?

Interesting. For what it's worth, I heard the exact same thing this morning from someone in Alabama. I can't vouch for how reliable they are but they claimed to have heard it from a CDC contact and had it confirmed by someone in state government.

Mine is definitely friend of a friend status, but I heard the actual conversation on the phone so there’s zero room for miscommunication.

Health-wise I think we are going to be fine. Economically though I’m starting to think we are taking a temporary dirt nap that will hurt a lot more than any health symptoms.

to act right in even the best of times that I'm most worried about. Neighborhoods home to million dollar houses that back up to trailer parks and ghettos will make for an interesting social experiment if everything is locked down for multiple weeks.

everybody is expecting this thing to last a minimum of 4-6 weeks. Most are expecting us not to go back in April either.
State is looking at not counting EOC and other state tests for the Spring

we are logging hours the students are working and we are working. Still taking attendance.
That way we don't have to make up these days.
So now I answer questions via email in my boat.
