but that doesn't mean the foods other than their Chinese cuisine are any good. (And to be honest, their Chinese stuff is just OK.)

(Well the jello is ok. it's kind of hard to mess that up)

What do you do for a living again?

Private or public sector? And we'll see how much damage is done before this

Private. Why do you care so much?

OK. How long can current interventions go on before significant economic damage

boogers

It has already collapsed for a lot of people. If you are lucky enough to work in IT (I am) it hasn't collapsed yet

People have lost their jobs, yes. That is a FAR cry from the economy collapsing.

SandYFan

4/6/20 2:29pm

So are you arguing it HAS collapsed?

SandYFan

It certainly does give perspective on where the poster is coming from. If I have my job and am secure
