New Zealand's banks are offering a six-month mortgage holiday to homeowners and small to medium business owners affected by the coronavirus crisis.
The exact criteria was yet to be finalised, but it will cover both principal and interest payments
Businesses will also be covered by a $6.25 billion finance guarantee scheme, being organised by both government and the banks, that is hoped to save jobs and protect businesses.
When faced with a difficult decision, ask yourself "What would Micon do?", then do the opposite.

Random mask update
N95 that are FDA cleared for surgical use are here https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/npptl/topi...rgicaln95.html
More domestic production than I thought originally. There's one in Culver City, CA.
Here is an interesting note from one of the large private labelers
There are 34 suppliers on the NIOSH approved list and Makrite is the private labeler for 17 of themDear Customers,Both of our facilities, Hubei and Dongguan, have been fully commissioned by the Chinese Government. We are banned from exporting and doing business domestically. Due to large demands from the coronavirus outbreak in China, we can now supply solely to the government to assist with the local hospitals as doctors and medics are running low on resources.
On behalf of Makrite, we will not be taking additional inquiries or purchase orders until the epidemic is over. Please understand this is a global matter and we are in a very difficult situation. We will update once we have further information.
Thank you.
I was told that the Chinese govt basically converted any factory that they could into a PPE production facility and that now there is a glut of product on the market. None of it is FDA approved but you will see it in the market because people can't get anything else.
I guess it's better than this
https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019...ace-masks.htmlHCP use of homemade masks:
In settings where facemasks are not available, HCP might use homemade masks (e.g., bandana, scarf) for care of patients with COVID-19 as a last resort.
Don't be alarmed by the sudden spike in cases over the next few weeks. That's only due to increased testing.
The numbers are pretty meaningless until widespread testing is done.
The number of hospitalized and dead is more meaningful right now, sadly.
I woke up today with some pain in my chest, which since developed into some ear pain and throat pain (both mild). Chest pain is still there, though it seems to be on the right, and is not all that bad.
No fever, no shortness of breath, no coughing.
Time to name a successor to running PFA? Should I teach Benjamin how to do it?
put vegas1369 or sonatine in charge and lets call it a day
Take care Todd. My wife is ER nurse. I had several arguments with her re: this thread. I'm only mid 40s, bu I'm Asthmatic. I don't do conspiracy, don't panic, am not a hypochondriac. But between my asthma, my respect for Tines intellect and my own subsequent research I was a believer far before her and this thread struck a chord in me. Been married 23 years, and can count on one hand how many big arguments we've had that has resulted in her saying "ok, you were right, I was totally 100% wrong! " but she reached that point around valentine's day. (Woo hoo! Usually it's a bunch of stonewalling. Gaslighting, deflection and non-sequiter rebuttals. But I digress.....)
She's come full circle, and now is sounding like the conspiracy minded one. She swears it's far far worse in nearly every way, from what were being told. Swears it's GOING to get far far worse than most have imagined. I Just giggle and say, duh, I know, Tine said so ages ago! (I deal with fear with laughter btw. Heights, fast cars, flights with turbulence....roller coasters all make me laugh......as does my ER nurse whose seen it ALL btw wife's panic.)
So yeah, take your bodies signs serious. First person that was close to me kinda passed from covid Friday. My little brothers best friends buddy. 35 years old. Reading his final FB posts was spooky. Went to er with cough Wednesday, dead Friday. He was a dirt bag, vaper of pot and cigs. Pretty sure that'd what got the kid.
I'm well provisioned in every way. We owe a pillar of pfa a debt of gratitude. Thank you Sonatine. Back to lurking!
if this post gets 4 green reps Druff is going to smoke pot on the radio
the democrat proposal does seem better than the republican one in nearly every way.
