Spot on. I have friends with small businesses who can not hire because people do not want to work. They make more doing nothing than he can pay them working. That being said with so many service industries shut down, what are the options ??? Until economy reopens fully, not much of a choice.

I am not sure probability can be calculated. Oil at -37 not too long ago would be impossible one out of billion, and yet we saw it in front of our eyes. We as traders just need to trade with assumption that severe crap can happen, and trade accordingly.
