I'm no expert on unemployment. But doesn't the relief program pay like 600/wk in unemployment? Which is significantly more than what unemployment was beforehand. So yea you're better off with that than the basic/minimum type level stuff, especially once you factor in not having to work.

For truck drivers, not sure where you're located but in WI a big problem is DUI. Also, I'd assume DMV stuff has been shutdown-ish so not easy for someone without a CDL to get one either.

Louis, yup, that is a very big problem. Most companies probably need to take weed out of their testing at this point.

Someone else mentioned that people get state unemployment on top of the 600 from the feds that we see in the media. if that's the case, yea you'd need a pretty good job to top that.

Just saw a WHO report that some data they've gotten on asymptomatic spread isn't looking bad. Concern is that people have been taking a week-ish to show symptoms so if they're out spreading for a week previous it's a big problem. If more data and other reports come in supporting the same thing I think that's a big deal for being able to open things up and live more. That's been the biggest hiccup in things for me, so if this comes through along with testing finally being up to speed I think it's a huge positive. From what I could read this report/data is purely off tracing efforts, so it's not exactly the most science/virology way of figuring. But either way, it could be a very big thing if it holds true. If we could also get some kind of a quick daily at home test done (similar to a thermometer) I think we'd be sitting in a pretty pretty good spot. Note: it still says its happening and everything, but it's just not nearly as potent this way.

ETA: Read some more and it's not as ideal as I hoped. They're distinguishing between pre-symptamtic and asymptomatic. I assumed it was a catch all for everything. Seems people are pre-symptomatic still are spreading before showing symptons. But at least the folks who never show symptoms seem to not be spreading much, still generally positive news. Just not as good as I hoped. Seems they're also trying to make the point that truly asymptomatic people are very rare.

Don't get me wrong, yea you know the current state of drug tests cover it. So simply don't when looking, it shouldn't be that hard. Nevertheless, it's outdated and should just get taken out. However, I've had to deal with people who live in legal states/countries applying to jobs in in legal states. Yet the company testing rules still have weed and it becomes a problem. The actual manager and people involved don't care, it's an outdated HR thing that hasn't been updated
