So whats everyone think is this going to last all summer or what.. Dont think my 401k will make it that long.

[greensider]

My opinion is that this will be a distant memory by July and the market will be back to at least where it was also I believe in a crisis situation that it should be closed until it’s declared over to protect people’s positions

I think this virus will start to slow by May, like almost all cold and flu viruses, but it's gonna get WAY worse here for a month or so now, before it starts to get better. NYC is gonna get ugly, looting, riots, all that fun stuff.
 The stock market generally falls fast and climbs slow. In this case the economy is being damaged, this is not just a normal stock market "correction," so I think it's gonna be quite a while before the Dow is back to 30,000, 5 years at least, maybe 10.

This is going to be a situation with trickle affects for months to come what are people going to do with no work you can hardly feed a family of 4 off unemployment with most of this country living paycheck to paycheck it's going to get interesting

[Chris1389]

The truth is here in NY we cant afford to do a full quarantine lock down like in Italy. Our governor at least knows that. In Italy you dont need much to get by and healthcare an schooling is fully paid for. They dont have the bills and high rent we have here in NY.  Also it seems the full lockdowns are not effective bc Italy is losing people by the hundreds in 24hours. Were just going to have to sit an wait until an effective treatment becomes available. Regeneron said they may have treatment medicine for it by may. They played a major role in the Ebola outbreak.

[RageThruTheCage24]

 This state cant afford a normal fiscal day let alone a situation like this no matter what they do this state can not afford it.

Politically it's getting worse... DOJ wants to rewrite the legal process as we know it due to the emergency... Constitution be dammed.

DOJ seeks new emergency powers amid coronavirus pandemic

https://www.politico.com/news/2020/03/21/doj-coronavirus-emergency-powers-140023

Add this to the run on guns and ammo and the closing of non-essential stores (including gun shops)...

Definitely time to reach out to our congressional representatives and tell them to just say "NO."

SAF SUES N.J. GOVERNOR FOR DEPRIVATION OF RIGHTS

BELLEVUE, WA – In a move directly linked to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the Second Amendment Foundation has filed a federal lawsuit against New Jersey Gov. Philip D. Murphy and State Police Supt. Patrick J. Callahan, asserting violation of civil rights under color of law by shutting down firearms dealerships in the Garden State, thus preventing citizens from exercising their rights under the Second and Fourteenth amendments.

Murphy and Callahan are being sued in their official capacities. The case, which was filed in the U.S. District Court for the State of New Jersey is known as Kashinsky v. Murphy.

Joining SAF in this action is the New Jersey Second Amendment Society, on behalf of Robert Kashinsky and Legend Firearms, a gun shop in the state. They are represented by noted civil rights attorney David Jensen.

Kashinsky sought to purchase a firearm for personal protection during the current crisis, but Murphy issued Executive Order 107 on March 21, which ordered all non-essential retail businesses closed to the public. The order does not include licensed firearms dealers on its list of “essential” businesses that may continue operating during the crisis.

“In order for New Jersey residents to purchase firearms,” noted SAF founder and Executive Vice President Alan M. Gottlieb, “they must go through a licensed firearms retailer and pass a background check. However, Murphy’s order was subsequently followed by a notice posted on the State Police website that the agency is no longer conducting background checks.

“Gov. Murphy cannot simply suspend the Second Amendment, and neither can Supt. Callahan,” he continued. “Yet, under this emergency order, that’s exactly what they’re doing. The Constitution, and federal law, don’t allow that. New Jersey may have been the first state to ratify the Bill of Rights, but they’re the last state to recognize it.”

The lawsuit seeks an injunction restraining the defendants and everyone acting on their behalf from enforcing Executive Order 107 “to the extent it operates to flatly prohibit the purchase and sale of firearms and ammunition.”
