I do wonder if people will go back to work only when they're good and ready (and feel the risk is gone). Consider that we are, at a minimum, halfway or so into this shutdown. Good chance it's longer. In 2-3 weeks, money will start flowing to pay people to stay home. Guaranteed for 4 months to the unemployed. It's gonna be hard to put the workforce back together after this. New habits/lifestyles are going to form.An overwhelming majority of the American public — 87% — is now making the effort to stay at home when possible, a new HuffPost/YouGov survey finds, with most saying they’ll continue to do so this month regardless of any official limitations.
Just 7% of Americans say they’re not currently trying to stay home when possible, with another 6% unsure. By a 70-point margin (79% versus 9%), Americans say that the states that have issued stay-at-home orders made the right decision in doing so.

I think there are a lot of people eager to get back to work too though. The sooner people are asked back, the more likely a short furlough doesn't turn into a permanent layoff. Or worse, the employer closes up shop permanently. 4 months of minimal financial security shouldn't outweigh that for most people but what do I know?Rob wrote:https://nypost.com/2020/04/04/most-amer ... fted-poll/

I don't disagree with any of that. I just think we're 2-3 weeks in, this will easily go another ~4 weeks. The longer it goes, the longer it takes to put back together. No doubt there will also be plenty of people itching to go back to work. Just wonder if we can put Humpty Dumpty totally back together again.verb_to_trust wrote:I think there are a lot of people eager to get back to work too though.

It's a two-tendon tear so they call it massive - supra and inter supra I think - both more than.5 cm retracted so that means not an operation by it's normal means . But within the last year or two the doctors came up with something surgery and in 2020 they fixed that fault with a repair they call the "sandwich" .verb_to_trust wrote:knee tunes wrote:tldrMickey wrote:I certainly don't think things are going to go back to "normal," but I would wager that the changes in employment will trend more towards increased flexibilization and an offloading of the responsibility for labor reproduction onto the worker than it will towards empowering laborers.

How's your shoulder? I assume any surgery you had planned got pushed back as an elective procedure.
