497 in Iowa, still only the one in my county.

People are starting to get a little stir crazy. Most have been "sheltering in place" since last fall because the flu has been really bad all winter.

Just watched a corporate webinar about the SBA loans being made through the federal government. It looks promising for a bunch of small business owners.

It boils down to a loan of 10 weeks worth of your average payroll over the last year. It will be forgivable as long as the money is spent to pay your employees/rent/utilities over the following 8 weeks of receiving the loan. This is great news for many small businesses with under 500 employees. It was also stated that there is most likely a second round of monies being made available but with very low interest rates and a 10 year payment schedule.

Corporate is also helping us by deferring some things up to 5 weeks out. Pepsi Cola also stepped up for us too by expediting rebates for the year and pro rating next years rebate and advancing those dollars now. And maybe not so god for everyone... but if you own a pizzeria... cheese prices fell to $1.55 a pound block price down from north of $2. This sure makes a big difference in my margins.

If this all comes through... it sure gives many a fighting chance to weather out this storm.

Up here Fed is going to cover 75% of business payroll. If your not working then ei will pay you up to $2000 per month. If you can't collect ei then another program will pay you $2000/month. Payments are for up to 4 months with option to extend programs.

Sounds like there may be a light at the end of the tunnel for you. Hang in there bud.

But all the golf courses are closed too.

Az has "stay at home" order, but the golf courses, are open for business!! Most hiking trails/lake facilities, also open.

Good, or Bad??? Don't know---

I've been told, not to inspect current truck assignments, so no trips out to Swift, Knight, ect
