Added this past week: 3.2 million. Do you think it has anything to do with the panic and the unreasonable lockdown that choked the life out of the economy?Indeed, why panic with only 1.3 million *confirmed* cases and 76,000+ dead in about two months, much higher totals than we would have seen if Trump had had the brains and guts to take COVID-19 seriously when he was first warned about it.That would make the unemployment rate even higher. The interesting thing is in New York, the people who stayed home faredworse than the essential workers who carried on normally, just takinga few precautions.

I heard a rumor that folks from other states who were sent to New
York to help out will be required to pay income tax to New York.
Could that possibly be true? If so there are new candidates for
the "under the Krause bar" prize.

If they can get out in less than 6 months they might get away with it.
It might depend on who cuts their checks. I never had to pay New York
income tax.
