@PeterWainman I am happy to report that I worked with Pete at DLJ from
1994-1998 where he helped the firm expand internationally and again at The Gores Group in the early 2000s.
More unintended consequences of the COVID lockdown.
Social isolation is not good for our kids’ mental health!
Per NYU professor, "depression and anxiety are heightening with continued quarantining."
The cure continues to be worse than the disease!

According to MDH, 98.8% of Minnesotans who've died from COVID-19 had other significant underlying health conditions. It was 99.24% two weeks ago. In that group are residents of long-term care who account for 81% of deaths. So far 6 people had no known underlying health condition.
The businesses up here in Moorhead are in a uniquely difficult position.
Larry can't have dine-in customers in his restaurant, but his competitors just across the river in Fargo can.
MN isn't leading the #COVID19 fight, we are falling behind.
No more delays! #ReopenMN now!
The MN Health Department reports another 25 COVID-19 deaths, 21 in long-term care (84%). Overall 81% of MN deaths are in LTC, but MDH says they have ramped up testing in those facilities as part of their "battle plan" to protect people in LTC. Listen at https://t.co/6VD90Xwgr7
Workers throughout MN are being crushed by the economic impacts of #COVID19.
Families across Minnesota, know this: Your lives, jobs, & communities will have a voice.
I will not stop fighting for Minnesota workers now, or when I’m in DC! #ReopenMN

The one thing that will get our economy going again: reopening! We can’t continue printing bailout money. It’s not a lack of money that plagues us. It’s lack of commerce. Until we reopen our economy, job losses will continue.
.@GovWhitmer's virus response has gone too far. Her "restrictions make no sense, nor do her subsequent explanations."
The latest on the chopping block? Bans on “carpeting, flooring, furniture, garden centers" and more.

Why isn’t government having to furlough non-essential employees? What exactly is the Board of Cosmetology doing all this time? Apparently not working to prepare salons to reopen. Seems like the only people out of a paycheck are the private sector.
If 40 percent of a state is going to be jobless, it’s not AT ALL compassionate for any governor to keep the economy shut down a MINUTE longer than necessary.
