I'm just wondering how the economy is going in different areas.
In the Augusta area I have not really seen anything slow down. In fact, we have had several cyber businesses (one my employer) to move to the area. We have had many restaurants and shops (mostly restaurants) starting up. The area was growing very well prior to COVID, so perhaps the pandemic had a slowing effect. But I have not seen much of an economic impact.
The economy there is driven by the military. The military has been prospering under Trump.
The main hospital there is all but deserted, according to my sister. She went to see my Dad there. He had been there a week before they gave him a covid test, which of course was positive, but wouldn’t retest him after ‘treatment’ of expensive Remdesivir, the doc kept telling me the tests didn’t actually prove anything. My take is the test proved enough for them to get the covid reimbursement which is a lot more than they would have got from Medicare for his pre existing conditions. She said room after room was empty. She only saw a total staff of about 15 during her couple of hours stay. She said she felt like zombies might jump out at her as she walked deserted halls, coming & going. My Dad passed, at 94, from congestive heart failure, with no visitors allowed for his last days, but covid was listed ahead of heart failure, & another covid death that wasn’t, added to the fake numbers.
So, I would say the medical field is not recovering, & neither is the health of the people. Both are taking it on the chin for the ideological ‘pandemic’.
I saw a meme that nailed it, it said when you allow politicians to break the rules, due to crisis, they will then always create crisis going forward. Yup.
