The long term cost of lock downs

[Anonymous]

I haven't got numbers for Canada, but I am sure it mirrors the US.



A record 5.6% of restaurant workers quit their jobs in April.



Analysts say this indicates that workers are confident they can find other jobs easily.



The restaurant industry has a record 1.34 million job openings.



Restaurant workers quit at record levels in April, and it's another sign that employers are going to have to work harder to attract and retain workers.

Lockdowns were initially touted as a necessary and effective way to combat coronavirus. But now, the actual effect that lockdowns had in curtailing the virus has been questioned by experts and politicians. In December, Stanford University professor of medicine Dr. Jay Bhattacharya suggested that lockdowns had not "contributed in any meaningful way" to save lives in California.



"Lockdowns are not a tool to eradicate the disease," Bhattacharya said on Fox News. "At best what they do is push the cases into the future."



In early 2020, the first wave of lockdowns cost Americans 22 million jobs. In March of 2021, even after many lockdowns were lifted, monthly job losses were still more than 6.2 million, exemplifying the long-lasting effects of the pandemic.



Around 200,000 businesses, especially many small businesses, were closed permanently due to COVID restrictions, according to estimations by Federal Reserve economists.

About 200,000 U.S. establishments permanently closed in 2020, according to a study released in April by the Federal Reserve. Barbershops, nail salons, and other personal service providers were hit the hardest, according to the study.



Americans who have real jobs sacrificed a lot. Out of touch White House advisors, not so much.

This is how the beltway elites think...They are the new royalty and actually believe there own bullshit...This is why they are so hard to combat...They actually think they know what's best for you and they think that they have a righteous purpose in telling the plebiscite masses how to live, think and behave...



Now you may ask, "how did it get this way in this once proud constitutional republic?...One and only one reason...The overwhelming stupidity of the average American voter.  81 million of them voted in the last presidential election and that is why we have a Botox stuffed, influence peddling, money laundering, career criminal turned vegetable in the oval office. We traded a man who worked 16hrs a day for the betterment of this country for a turnip that sleeps 16hrs a day and is only interested in tapioca and sniffing the hair of little girls.



Now tell me and make me believe that we are not the dumbest nation on the planet.... Good luck.

Biden has been part of Washington longer than the dirt under the Capitol building. Yet, few Americans know much about him.

The Americans that voted for that old political barnacle don't know much about anything...Why?...Because they are willfully ignorant, TDS infected and thus mentally impaired....and that's a fact...Oh many of them may attempt to claim the intellectual high ground and the media mob falls all over itself in promoting that myth but that's an act of willful ignorance as well. Most liberal scum don't have the guts to performed a single ounce of honest introspective examination. Deep down they fear, and rightfully so that there are huge gapping holes in their bubble of intellectual arogance.

It's easy to claim the intellectual high ground when all you have to do to earn it is label everyone who disagrees with you a racist, denier or worst of all, a Trump supporter.

The price of lumber is trading at $642 per thousand board feet, roughly 62% lower from its May 7 peak of $1,670 per thousand board feet.



But the downtrend after scaling to unprecedented highs should be expected, said Troy Merkel, partner and senior real estate analyst at Chicago-based consulting firm RSM. He said he expects the price of the commodity to moderate, especially as supply chains normalize and recover after the last year of the pandemic.



By the end of August and into early September, he told Insider the price of lumber may settle between $350-$450 per thousand board feet due to a confluence of factors, including sawmills slowly reopening and vaccination rates rising.
