Why not break this into:

N% have lost jobs

N% have lost hours

We don't have N% have dead or infected with cv, do we?

Because they want you to think the worst, i.e. 18% have lost jobs, because the title is clickbait.

If cv is very bad ( I really hope it is not ) many boomers will pass away. Who then will read newspapers? They are just utter garbage now.

This is one of many changes CV will bring, IMHO.

That’s not useful either. What does lost hours mean? Is that 10% of your hours or 90% of your hours. One friend has lost 100% of her hours but somehow is still employed. Is she “lost hours” or “lost jobs”?

How about which N% will likely miss their rent payment? Because that's the key - those missed payments on 4/1 will have massive impacts to the economy.

Some fraction of that N% represents landlords who now may not be able to make their mortgage payment.

How about total dollar value of reduced wages across the USA?
