So Minnesota is below 1% of the total population with the virus. How will we get to 40% (Walz low estimate range) of the population in MN, if we are not out in the public? Lotsa people are still working around here. Meat packing plant, 2 meat processing plants, rendering plant, farmers, farm supply stores, retail, etc. etc. etc. I bet half my town is still working and many are not and can’t be 6 feet apart since it is line work making dog food and chips and candy. I just hope testing comes available in mass quantity so people can be tested to see who is safe to go out and who needs to be home.

I wonder how long people are infected before the test goes positive. I also see a never ending cycle of testing healthy people since you might be negative today and positive two days later. I am not sure what the answer is for line workers. It looks like our county will soon be competing with yours for the dog food business. Well the first plant is just into Crow Wing County. Second in Morrison.

Question for the group. How will the decision to shut down the country be judged? History is still to be determined but each of us at some point will decide if the shut down was a good decision for us personally and the country in general. What factors will drive our opinions? Here are a few of mine to start: Family/personal risk How many saved lives? How many deaths? Segmentation of at risk people, what percentage of people could potentially be seriously harmed by COVID 19 vs minimal risk Segmentation of deaths, Demographics of people who died, age, pre-conditions etc. Family destruction do to economic hardship Business destruction do to economic hardship Current cost to society Generational/future cost to society Duration of the economic impact Wealth impact to individuals Changes to our society, will we still be an open border country with no boundaries? What would you add and what will influence how you judge the outcome of COVID-19? Here is how I am judging the virus. Us in mn will be the last to get hit the hardest in a month or so. If it continues to get worse over the next month, we will see the stock market down another 20%, maybe 40%, maybe more. We will start to know people that are killed by the Virus. Really Hoping it’s not one of us. I was thinking this was a bunch of bullshit. But I ain’t thinking that way no more. Hang in there Mo. I know of two cases locally here in NH where at risk people have recovered. Unfortunately, I heard tonight that it’s hit a local nursing home so that is probably not going to be as good of an outcome. That place was supposedly locked down for the past two weeks but, it got in there somehow.

Seems pretty clear that MN schools won't be re-opening next month.

We had a family trip with all the kids to go to Florida mid June and we figure we won't be going and about to cancel. It just isn't going away as fast as we all hoped.

Maybe they'll make exceptions for those who are using Canadian outfitters ($$$$) There will be resorts going under if this extends into the summer. Some of the Canadian resorts must be 80-90% American clientele . If they shut the border down, it will be devastating for Canada.

U.S. owners of fishing resorts/outfits in Canada will probably be SOL. To be honest, fishing resorts across the border are pretty low on my list of concerns. Much more concerned about resorts in northern MN and WI surviving.
