Agreed. I'm nervous about the impact of UI extended benefits

ending after this week. We're still at well above 10% unemployment. Many, many of those people are going to have to find a way to live on a few hundred dollars a week now. Shutting down more businesses isn't the answer. We have to find a way to make the economy work so that these people can find a job soon. There needs to be a balance. There's no such thing as the zero risk that some seem to demand. We will have to accept some spread and unfortunately some sick and even dying. We have to limit it as best we can while still allowing people to earn a living.
