This time of year is a high season for accounting services. Closure of accounting services would likely mean a lot of missed income tax filings, or incorrect estimates of taxes paid on 4/15 by those who file for extension.
Legal services will be needed as businesses and individuals go bankrupt.
@dietz199 - holy guac. That is quite a list. WTH? When the news first hit, it created so much confusion!!!
@“Snowball City” – Fingers crossed for your daughter! Send us updates when you know something. Wishing you and her the best.
After 3 weeks of this, every displaced sports fan will become a WWE fan! LOL
No open houses for a while - NMLS disables realtors’ access to online tools to schedule and advertise open house:
Local RE had been extra hot this spring…

“but washing raw food well should remove it (why would water only work on veggies but not hands?”
You’re absolutely right. In fact, you should use (diluted) soap/water to wash produce IMO. And in commercial food prep, they use diluted bleach in the mix as well.
“This time of year is a high season for accounting services…”
I have wondered whether the US and State governments would consider postponing the due day for tax returns in case accountants are unable to get the returns done on time. Of course, people who are sick could also have trouble getting their own tax returns done on time.
I have seen some blurbs that it has been considered but nothing definitive.
He had close contact with someone who later tested positive.
I would be CRUSHED if tax-return deadline were postponed. Ha ha.
On the weirder side…
“Some of the last people in the world to find out about the rapid spread of Covid-19 are a group of 14 men and women sitting in a house in Cologne, western Germany, where they are competing in the country’s 13th season of the reality TV show Big Brother…”
@“Snowball City” Please know that my family’s prayers are with you. She will be ok.
Regarding taxes. This is one year the big April check (whatever level that means to your family) is both needed and I gladly send. A first honestly. The country needs our financial support right now to help the poor and hourly workers. Small business too. Independent contractors like painting and home improvement professionals.
I have no problem with paying the payroll tax and have it being waived for small companies and to put a cap on relief based on income. Others need it much more than many of us. Their success and safety is directly related to my own long term.
Edit: Of course for medical supplies and protective gear for our brave health care workers and fema etc.
Thank you for posting this!
On preview - in the time it took for me to finish this post, the argument was settled. So deleted.
@Qtinfo… That is so funny. Think they have the best situation right now. ?
The primary elections (Arizona, Florida, Ohio) scheduled for tomorrow are turning into catastrophes, because of the restrictions on public gatherings and actions by state officials.

I don’t understand why the party rep in Ohio went to court to force the election.
Why not make it 100 percent mail in or in time slots for last names and push it out a week.
Just like gas rationing. It’s not complicated.
I’m skimming, but if I missed this: the New Jersey edict, as far as I can tell, is not a curfew. Governor Murphy said people are strongly discouraged from being out after 8pm. But restaurants are allowed to do take out, and other people are working in essential industries, so it seems to me that this is not a ban. NorthJersey.com called it a curfew, but I didn’t see the word in the actual state message.
Hope not, since I took a very solitary walk after 8pm tonight!
In Illinois multiple election judges quit due to age and scare (don’t blame them). They are scrambling to get judges for tomorrow and using help from the Chicago Mayor office etc. I got a notice as well as many others. They were paying like $170 for the day… Will see how many locations don’t have election judges tomorrow.
Update. Ohio governor is declaring a health emergency and overruling the judge. No election.
Unacceptable health risk declared
