Sorry, mateyfriend. I only missed out on Whose Line is it Anyway and probably Megadeth I had tickets for with In Flames, Trivium and Lamb of God.
It is what it is at this point.
I do find it odd that extreme liberal bands like Rage and Waters are choosing to postpone their events and not offer refunds. You’d think they might be more on the side of maybe some of those people needing some money at this time instead of waiting till August 2021 for a show.

Have you had any word from them? I haven't had a cancellation from Megadeth but I would assume everything is cancelled at this point. Pointless postponing because everything's so up in the air it'd be like pinning the tail on the donkey trying to name a date.

I’m getting refunds from Bellator because of them being cancelled. The concerts are postponed and they said the tickets will be good for the new dates and aren’t giving refund options.. Waters has already said they won’t be until 2021 for his shows.

I gave a massive sigh of relief that we got to see The Irishman with Deniro and Pesci still alive. I hope you get to see Waters. I was excited for you. I'm kidding but you get my drift.

Roger Waters is a cunt. David Gilmour would've given you a refund

Anyone filing for unemployment, it's arduous but seems to be rolling along. Husband had to upload his CV and our bank account statements etc but it seems like in a couple of months we might be getting $450 a week.

Again, not looking for a handout, he's paid so much in tax in this country it's times like these where you deserve it. Breaking my heart that such a stoic person has to do it.
I feel his pain. My job ended yesterday after 20 years. I’m supposed to start a new job in 2 weeks, making half the money, so I’m putting off filing for unemployment for now. Pride is a MFer, but if I have to, I will.

unemployment insurance is just that. Insurance. It's already been paid for. Yes the insurance can be upside down because everybody makes a run on it at once but regardless it's a policy. The money was paid for by you and your previous boss.
File and use insurance.

Also if you're going to start trucking you should really get a mount for your phone or a GoPro. Lots and lots of people would be interested in your thoughts as you get going around the country in the next couple months.
You'd probably be a pretty interesting YouTube to watch

He was dead against it till I told him he deserves it being he did nothing wrong and the amount of tax he's paid. Pride does indeed come before a fall. I'm really sorry that you're going through it as well.

This is worrisome. We all know the confirmed cases are far below the actual number of sick people. But here’s a way you can do the math and try to get a decent estimate of just how many people may be infected with the virus.

“we don't know the infected numbers for the untested. but covid deaths are recorded. we also know deaths come about 2 weeks after hospitalisation or ~3weeks after infection. this means deaths are a 3 week lagging indicator of true infection numbers.

assuming 1% fatality rate, multiply deaths by 100 to get true infection numbers 3 weeks prior. yesterday the US recorded 1000 new deaths. thats 100,000 new infected 3 weeks ago on just one day. it has been 3 weeks since then, and confirmed cases are only at 240k.“
