What's this?

This money is too buy us time


The Federal and state money for UI is to prevent people from having to go out in crowds to work for the next 4 months. This buys us time to ramp up testing, so we can trace infections, and isolate. When we can do this on scale, we can open those businesses and schools; and those related activities with confidence that we can identify and stop the spread on a local or regional basis.
