@CourtReagan @Walmart Your recent @Walmart story shows 2021 first quarter growth of over 70%, but we are in the first quarter of 2020. Since it is not a forecast according to story the graphic must be incorrect.

@agoodmanbacon Many moons ago, I worked in hospital kitchen, very careful to exclude ill workers from work. This isn’t emphasized enough. If we do not target advice and restrictions to most relevant party we will shut down everything #TargetResources

@GovBillLee Right, it is best to help those #MostInNeed my NBER paper on Obama Stimulus during Great Recession develops this idea at county level (search NBER research paper by Crucini and Vu)

#MostInNeed

Federal funds should be directed to areas and individuals most in need; most affected by the direct and indirect effects of coronovirus. Think, medical FEMA. Once size fits all... an equal sized check to each household is simple, but inefficient.
