Not sure about woodwinds, but the skeleton sitting in the cart full of skulls is playing a hurdy-gurdy. (I don't think anyone plays a hurdy-gurdy in "Hurdy Gurdy Man".) Edited March 29, 2020 by N.E.

Univ of Washington today estimated 80,000 Covid deaths by July, peaking the second week of April at 2000 per day. Truly a miraculous number, compared to the 2.2 million number that was being widely reported recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The purposes are to support the significant disruption to public education. Corps would be view through the non-profit lens (arts and/or education) but this is outside of the core purpose of the funding. Not according to every non-profit business publication that I have received over the last few days. All NPOs are eligible for 7a SBA loans, with potential forgiveness. They are also eligible for the $10k quick advance EIDL, which is Section 1110. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Interesting choice of words, since that would put this about even with the annual number of deaths from alcohol every year. When can we quarantine against getting killed by a drunk driver?

COVID19 is definitely going to kill more Americans than died in either the 9/11 or Pearl Harbor attacks, and very probably more than both combined. According to Hockey Dad's source above, the number of Americans who die from COVID19 by July will be more than 15 times the number of Americans who died on 9/11. And H.D. notes that could be very good news, relative to some earlier predictions. But do go on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Earlier today DCI furloughed/laid off two-thirds of its office staff, leaving a “Skelton crew” in place to plan for 2021. Now I’m really beginning to wonder if 2019 was the final DCI season ever. It's very unforunate new for the staff who were let go (I had to deliver the very same bad news to some people on staff where I work), but presumably if DCI had not done so, then the organization's demise would be assured. Cutting costs gives them a chance to survive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still affecting only hundreths of a percentage point of people? Yes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
