I got away with it. I didn’t need to see a doctor and had no expenses so I just never activated it.

.Never went to a senior prom and shortly after graduation got my draft notice and then in the service. Had to grow up in a hurry--- had no other choice as a lot in my generation had to do. Never missed not having a prom miss the guys I served with.
And the high school senior that turned 19 was everyone's best friend if you needed someone to buy alcohol.I could have lived without prom too...but those parties were a pretty good time

They finished selling the last of the stock in Dec of 2013, the price was in the 39's per share. It wasn't until Oct of 2017 that the share price went over 40. It traded in the mid 30 during that time, was in the low 40's for a little while and then dropped back into the mid to upper 30's. Looks like they sold at a good peak. If they held out until late 2017, they may have broke even with the slightly higher share price coupled with the resumption of the quarterly dividend, but the pressure was on to close out the books of TARP.
Overall I think historians will look at TARP being an incredible success. It came close to getting all of its money back (name a bailout that did that), kept the banking industry from seizing up, kept the auto industry from cratering, got the auto makers headed in the right direction, especially on fuel economy.. The only problem was that it didn't do much directly for the average citizen. I believe that due to that, is why the recession dragged on for so long and we went through many years of very slow growth.

New York City is already starting to breakdown healthcare wise. Also the outbreak wasn't traced to any Chinese workers in Italy

I didn't attend my prom.
For me, my friends were the neighborhood kids - and school was separate from that. Literally, my high school was in "the 'hood."
My neighborhood friends weren't in my school (well, one was - but he was a grade ahead of me and I never saw him) I attended school, than caught the train home to hang out with my neighborhood friends.

The US has 35 ventilators per 100,000 population while Italy has 12. They have a much older population and they kiss each other's cheeks as a greeting. It's difficult to compare any two countries regarding the spread of this virus.

I was the polar opposite. My senior year (and all of high school really) are some of my most cherished memories. I’ve flown in for ever single reunion that we have (every 5 years).. I loved that time of my life and still love catching up with everyone.

BBC: The new figures include a further 246 people in England, with patients aged between 33 and 100 years old. All of them had underlying health conditions except 13 people, who were aged 63 and over.
Listen. I’m watching our news right now where deaths are up by ONE THIRD in 24 hours. Don’t come crying about college football being cancelled.
Tell it to anyone who’s naive then.
One death is one too many.
Current projection is the UK will be lucky if the dead number around 6,000.

This article seems to support his assertion. What part do you disagree with?
SCCM: Too Few Ventilators, ICU Beds Available for Worst-Case COVID-19 Scenario
Even with less-than-fully-functional models pressed into service, shortages likely

According to the Washington Post if Trump reopens the economy he will be responsible for deaths caused by the opening. The question I have is who is responsible for the deaths caused by closing the economy? If anyone thinks there will not be any they are delusional.
You say that like you think I’ve read it.This article seems to support his assertion. What part do you disagree with?

Last year over 600,000 people died in the UK - that would be about 1% of a normal year.
Just for scale, in 2015, deaths in the UK jumped nearly 6% from the previous year.

You know what's funny?
The two extremes are not long term solutions and POTUS isn’t considering either right now. I think we need to stop with this nonsense.
And that’s meant to be a good thing?
Anyone belittling this virus or crying about the economy can right off so far as I’m concerned.
And pardon my French (also edited by a moderator to save any confusion, my apologies)

Not an endorsement. Just a logical, often quoted statement.I am not trying to be argumentative (and I feel uneasy asking this of perhaps the most respected member of this board), but...
What does your statement mean? Why is any honest discussion of numbers taken to be an endorsement of death? Are there really folks on this board who think death is good and should not be combatted? Statements like "one death is to many" or "if we save just one life..." are conversation-enders that, if taken to their logical conclusion, are absurd.
Again, with all due respect!
Especially since right now, on TV, the government say the UK will be lucky to have less than 20,000 deaths.
The worldwide economy is crashing. That is not a reason to want to back off on life saving measures.
