I am reading a book right now that takes place in Alaska in late 70s and the author describes this place like it would take 200 years for it to develop

But no I’m curious how is life in Alaska?

Respect bro. But I hate when people say “there’s someone out there having it way worse than you” because it just downplays my the struggle I am going through. There’s also people that are doing a lot better than I am too if you wanna see it that way

But I get your point. What’s frustrating is that there is no f***ing timeline to when all this will end and that’s what’s depressing me

Its great. Winters are a little tough but you get used to them. Summers are spectacular. Anchorage has a population of 300,000 were not that small.

Yeah I hear you, I also hate when people use that because everyone have their own struggles and just because someone has it worse doesn’t mean I can’t have my own issues and personal struggles that are less worthy to me. I guess what I mean is if you’re healthy, have food to eat and place to sleep that’s already one hell of a blessing, there are people in different countries on lockdown without jobs or any unemployment benefits stressing how they going to survive or feed themselves.

Regarding timeline, I’ll say we have to wait until May ends or somewhere in beginning of June to know what are the plans overall. I believe things will start to open up slowly in phases with a lot of restrictions. But one thing you can count on is that summer is not going to be the same, meaning there’s not going to be any activities involving a lot of people in the same place. Well, at least in nyc for sure.

I’ve been on unemployment since late March and yes you can lose your unemployment if you decline the job. Your employer simply reports that to DOL and when you claim weekly benefits there’s a question asking if you have been offered a job and if you lie and say no, then you’re s*** gets terminated.

Bro I don’t even care about activities and concerts and s***. I just want to move out of my house, have a steady income, and hang with a few on the weekends you know and just do whatever the f*** I want to do

See that’s different, you didn’t get fired. If you’re on unemployment and your job calls you to work and you decline then you don’t get the benefits anymore since there a job available but you’re refusing to accept it.

Okay I get that but what about them firing me for attendance wouldn’t I still be okay, they never contacted me and I’ve never answered any calls so they can’t confirm if I’m sick or not.

Amazon updated their policy for leave of absence being covid related so they just taking upt for attendance for people that stay home, they don’t really know if I’m sick or not.

"The Trump administration projects about 3,000 daily deaths by early June.

As President Trump presses for states to reopen their economies, his administration is privately projecting a steady rise in the number of cases and deaths from the coronavirus over the next several weeks, reaching about 3,000 daily deaths on June 1, according to an internal document obtained by The New York Times, nearly double from the current level of about 1,750.

The projections, based on government modeling pulled together in chart form by the Federal Emergency Management Agency, forecast about 200,000 new cases each day by the end of the month, up from about 25,000 cases now.

The numbers underscore a sobering reality: While the United States has been hunkered down for the past seven weeks, not much has changed. And the reopening to the economy will make matters worse."
