Youâre right. I do want in because there are so, so many â and a lot of mine donât have clips, sadly.
-The Pink Lady with Hazel Dawn, a frothy little 1911 musical at the New Amsterdam Theater before Flo Ziegfeld moved the Follies in. (Though he was a producer of this.) Main reason? My mom bought the score for this at a flea market for a quarter, so I grew up hearing the music. At one point, Hazel Dawn played âThe Pink Lady Waltzâ on stage with a violin.
-The Ziegfeld Follies of almost any year, but if I had to pick one, it would be 1915. W.C. Fields, Bert Williams, Ina Claire, Mae Murray, Olive Thomas, Marion Davies, and Ann Pennington were in the cast and the song âHello, Frisco!â was introduced.
-The original cast of A Chorus Line, which I missed on my senior class trip in â77, though I did get to see Annie with the original cast, including Dorothy Loudon. âWhat I Did for Loveâ was the unofficial song of the drama section of our graduating class, because even at that age, the question, âWhat would you do if you couldnât dance any longer?â resonated strongly with us. (There is, btw, a not great version of a B&W video taking at the Public Theater before the show went to Broadway on YouTube. I listen more than I watch, but that moment is still heartbreaking.)
youtube
-The Bandwagon, 1931. Another musical review and another one at The New Amsterdam, though this one was produced after the the Follies had ended. It was the last Broadway show Fred Astaire did with his sister Adele before she retired from the stage to marry and English lord. (Yes, the film Royal Wedding is partially based on her.) Frank Morgan was also in the cast, and that would have been a treat.
-Anything Goes, 1934, with Ethel Merman creating the role of Reno Sweeney. She did the role for the movie version, but Merman and the movie camera never seemed to be a great fit because she was too big. Would have loved to see her fill the stage with her personality, hitting back of the balcony in those days before there microphones.
youtube
And itâs so hard to pick just five. Iâd love to have seen Pacific Overtures, but thereâs also recording shot for Japanese Television out there on YT with the original cast, including Mako (and better quality than the Chorus Line video) . https://youtu.be/MQ546PASgHI?si=X8vvHvsWDdlSFVi1
youtube
Iâd put Dreamgirls on the list, but I did get to see it with Jennifer Holiday here in Los Angeles when it opened on tour. (And she was amazing.) A Day in Hollywood, A Night In the Ukraine was another premiere tour production, a show that does not get enough productions, because we all need a revue of great classic movie songs performed by the ushers at Graumanâs Chinese Theatre, including a tap dance rendition of the Motion Picture Code, and a second act which is the âgreat play Chekov never wroteâ starring the Marx Brothers and Margaret Dumont. But thereâs also Chess, which I saw in London and just missed in New York. Probably should put Les Miz on the list since that is a show I have managed to miss in London, New York and Los Angeles.
One show I really wouldnât want to see was a muscial originally called Odyssey when I saw it on pre-Broadway tour. Starring Yul Brynner and Joan Diener, itâs one of the more notorious flops on Broadway. When I saw it, the show clearly needed work, but had some funny bits, especially Yul Brynner, who was hysterical as Odysseus masquerading as the beggar when he arrives home. But the show was re-worked quite a bit more, and not to good advantage. By the time it hit Broadway, it was retitled Home, Sweet Homer, and had 11 previews and 1 performance. Some stories say the closing notice as up as soon as the opening (and only) performance was finished. Other stories say it was posted during the intermission.
You have 5 tickets and a time machine to see any Broadway shows in the past
Which 5 shows are you seeing? It could even be off Broadway, a show youâve already seen, a show youâll never get to see, ANYTHING. Put your 5 shows in the hashtagsâŠ

Clifton Avon "Cliff" Edwards (June 14, 1895 â July 17, 1971), nicknamed "Ukulele Ike", was an American musician, singer and actor, who enjoyed considerable popularity in the 1920s and early 1930s, specializing in jazzy renditions of pop standards and novelty tunes. He had a number one hit with "Singin' in the Rain" in 1929. He also did voices for animated cartoons later in his career, and he is best known as the voice of Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio (1940) and Fun and Fancy Free (1947), and Dandy (Jim) Crow in Walt Disney's Dumbo (1941).
Edwards was born in Hannibal, Missouri. He left school at age 14 and soon moved to St. Louis, Missouri and Saint Charles, Missouri, where he entertained as a singer in saloons. As many places had pianos in bad shape or none at all, Edwards taught himself to play Ê»ukulele to serve as his own accompanist (choosing it because it was the cheapest instrument in the music shop). He was nicknamed "Ukulele Ike" by a club owner who could never remember his name. He got his first break in 1918 at the Arsonia Cafe in Chicago, Illinois, where he performed a song called "Ja-Da", written by the club's pianist, Bob Carleton. Edwards and Carleton made it a hit on the vaudeville circuit. Vaudeville headliner Joe Frisco hired Edwards as part of his act, which was featured at the Palace in New York Cityâthe most prestigious vaudeville theaterâand later in the Ziegfeld Follies.
Edwards made his first phonograph records in 1919. He recorded early examples of jazz scat singing in 1922. The following year he signed a contract with Pathé Records. He became one of the most popular singers of the 1920s, appearing in several Broadway shows. He recorded many of the pop and novelty hits of the day, including "California, Here I Come", "Hard Hearted Hannah", "Yes Sir, That's My Baby", and "I'll See You in My Dreams".
In 1924, Edwards performed as the headliner at the Palace, the pinnacle of his vaudeville success. That year he also featured in George and Ira Gershwin's first Broadway musical Lady Be Good, alongside Fred and Adele Astaire. As a recording artist, his hits included "Paddlinâ Madeleine Home" (1925), "I Can't Give You Anything but Love" (1928), and the classic "Singin' in the Rain" (1929), which he introduced. Edwards's own compositions included "(I'm Cryin' 'Cause I Know I'm) Losing You", "You're So Cute (Mama o' Mine)", "Little Somebody of Mine", and "I Want to Call You 'Sweet Mama'". He also recorded a few "off-color" novelty songs for under-the-counter sales, including "I'm a Bear in a Lady's Boudoir," "Take Out That Thing," and "Give It to Mary with Love".
Edwards, more than any other performer, was responsible for the soaring popularity of the ʻukulele.[4] Millions of ʻukuleles were sold during the decade, and Tin Pan Alley publishers added ʻukulele chords to standard sheet music. Edwards always played American Martin ukuleles, favoring the small soprano model in his early career. In his later years, he moved to the larger tenor ʻukulele, which was becoming popular in the 1930s.
Edwards continued to record until shortly before his death in 1971. His last record album, Ukulele Ike, was released posthumously on the independent Glendale label. He reprised many of his 1920s hits; his failing health was however evident in the recordings.
In 1929, Cliff Edwards was playing at the Orpheum Theater in Los Angeles where he caught the attention of movie producer-director Irving Thalberg. His film company Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer hired Edwards to appear in early sound movies. After performing in some short films, Edwards was one of the stars in the feature Hollywood Revue of 1929, doing some comic bits and singing some numbers, including the film debut of his hit "Singin' in the Rain". He appeared in a total of 33 films for MGM through 1933. He had a small role as Mike, playing a ʻukulele very briefly at the beginning of the 1931 movie Laughing Sinners (1931), starring Joan Crawford.
Edwards had a friendly working relationship with MGM's comedy star Buster Keaton, who featured Edwards in three of his films. Keaton, himself a former vaudevillian, enjoyed singing and harmonized with Edwards between takes. One of these casual jam sessions was captured on film, in Doughboys (1930), in which Buster and Cliff scat-sing their way through "You Never Did That Before".
Edwards was also an occasional supporting player in feature films and short subjects at Warner Brothers and RKO Radio Pictures. He played a wisecracking sidekick to western star George O'Brien, and he filled in for Allen Jenkins as "Goldie" opposite Tom Conway in The Falcon Strikes Back. In a 1940 short, he led a cowboy chorus in Cliff Edwards and His Buckaroos. Throughout the 1940s he appeared in a number of "B" westerns playing the comic, singing sidekick to the hero, seven times with Charles Starrett and six with Tim Holt.
Edwards appeared in the darkly sardonic western comedy The Bad Man of Brimstone (1937), and he played the character "Endicott" in the screwball comedy film His Girl Friday (1940). In 1939, he voiced the off-screen wounded Confederate soldier in Gone with the Wind in a hospital scene with Vivien Leigh and Olivia de Havilland.
His most famous voice role was as Jiminy Cricket in Walt Disney's Pinocchio (1940). Edwards's rendition of "When You Wish Upon a Star" is probably his most familiar recorded legacy. He voiced the head crow in Disney's Dumbo (1941) and sang "When I See an Elephant Fly".
In 1932, Edwards had his first national radio show on CBS Radio. He continued hosting network radio shows through 1946. In the early 1930s, however, Edwards' popularity faded as public taste shifted to crooners such as Russ Columbo, Rudy Vallee, and Bing Crosby.
Arthur Godfrey's use of the ʻukulele spurred a surge in its popularity and those that played it, including Edwards. Like many vaudeville stars, Edwards was an early arrival on television. In the 1949 season, he starred in The Cliff Edwards Show, a three-days-a-week (Monday, Wednesday, and Friday evenings) TV variety show on CBS. In the 1950s and early 1960s, he made appearances on The Mickey Mouse Club, in addition to performing his Jiminy Cricket voice for various Disney shorts and the Disney Christmas spectacular, From All of Us to All of You.
Edwards was careless with the money he made in the 1920s, always trying to sustain his expensive habits and lifestyle. He continued working during the Great Depression, but never again enjoyed his former prosperity. Most of his income went to alimony for his three former wives, and paying debts, and he declared bankruptcy four times during the 1930s and early 1940s. Edwards married his first wife Gertrude Ryrholm in 1919, but they divorced four years later. He married Irene Wylie in 1923; they divorced in 1931. In 1932, he married his third and final wife, actress Judith Barrett. They divorced in 1936. He had no children from any of his three marriages.
As well as being a lifelong heavy tobacco smoker, Edwards also struggled with alcoholism, drug addiction and gambling for much of his career.
In his final years, Edwards lived in a home for indigent actors and often spent his time at the Walt Disney Studios to be available any time he could get voice work. He was sometimes taken to lunch by animators whom he befriended and told stories of his days in vaudeville. He had nearly disappeared from the public eye at the time of his death on July 17, 1971, at the age of 76 from a cardiac arrest brought on by arteriosclerosis. Now penniless, Edwards was a charity patient at the Virgil Convalescent Hospital in Hollywood, California. His body was unclaimed and was donated to the University of California, Los Angeles medical school. When Walt Disney Productions, which had been quietly paying many of his medical expenses, discovered this, they offered to purchase his remains and pay for the burial. Instead, it was done by the Actors' Fund of America (which had also aided Edwards) and the Motion Picture and Television Relief Fund. Disney paid for his grave marker.
In 2002, Edwards' 1940 recording on Victor, Victor 26477, "When You Wish Upon a Star", was inducted into the Grammy Hall of Fame. In 2000, Edwards was awarded as a Disney Legend for voice-acting.

2019 Summer Trip.
July 12...
Got to the fabulous Fairfield Inn near FLL at about 7pm. Checked in and told the receptionist we needed to be on the 4am shuttle, as we had a 6:25 flight. She asked if we needed a wakeup call. I suggested the university of Miami marching band outside the door at 3:30.
Off to del Frisco's on Las Olas for a romantic dinner of Martinis and steak. Susie accuses me of flirting with the rather well presented Jennifer. I don't know what she was talking about. By the way, Jennifer is 29, blond, about 5'6", size 6. just broke up with her boyfriend, and gets off at 11. Susie insisted on a terribly decadent chocolate cake for dessert. Also told Jennifer to cut me off.
North Las olas area pretty busy for a Friday night on the summer.
Back to the Fairfield for 4 hours of sleep before the aforementioned u of m band wakes us up at 3:30.
July 13.
6am.. on board southwest flight to Baltimore.
First crisis. Susie can't connect her headphones to her Iphone. Problem solved when I suggested that she then the headphones on. Its kind of like the guy who complains that he never won the lottery.. he also never bought a ticket.
6:30 pm... off to dinner at Ocean Blue with Susie and Jen.
Anonymity is a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, it does not exist in Utica, NY. We got to the restaurant. We made it... two steps out of the elevator, there was my dear friend Mikey... at the bar eating oysters and drinking vodka.
Well that took a whole eight seconds. He joined us, and, wait for it... 3 minutes later the table was loaded with oysters and more vodka. Even Susie, who I've been trying to get to eat an oyster for 40 years had one.
So, during the course of dinner, it comes out that Mikey it's quite the artist. Hard to believe if you know Mikey. Mike is a great golfer and an even better drinker. Also, and I mean this in the best possible way... He's nuts. After dinner we went up to his apartment to see his work...
All I can say is "Absolutely Unbelievable ".
July 14th
Really looking forward to playing at the Yahnundasis, my old club, today. Michael Stone made a surprise early return from Philadelphia. Being at the club was like old home week. Played with Jerry and Scotti. Scotti has a unique view on life, and provided four hours of non stop entertainment. They even had a flyover by two F16's to mark the beginning of Mark Stone week in New Hartford.
July 15th.
Another great day... Lunch with Mac at Del Buono's, followed by golf at the Yahnundasis with Mac, Michael, Jerry and Tony T. Tony has been club champion about ninety times and, along with our new artist Mikey, and Jerry, made up the annual florida golf trip group before I moved down. Chad played, too, so we had a great sixsome... Chad and his lovely wife Kait bought our house in what was probably the fastest real estate transaction in history.
After golf, we bee lined to Cafe CaNole for drinks, dinner and debauchery. Susie Bull joined us... always a treat. He fear husband Marty was a staple of our group until his untimely passing a few years ago... by the way, he passed on Jerry's birthday.
July 17th.
Michael got tickets for tonight's NY Yankees game against Tampa Bay. Seats are in a fabulous suite above the Yankees dugout. The Deacon, no really he's a Deacon, drove to the Bronx, as Jerry, Michael and I enjoyed each others company. Got to the stadium early. Walked around the whole place. Saw monument park... awesome.
Did a little shopping and went up to the suite. Got some dinner, and at 6:40, they cancelled the game due to impending bad weather. Oh well...
Back to Utica...
July 20th.
Went to the Pittsburgh Vintage Car Show. Pretty good. All kinds of cars in Schenley Park. Saw something that might work for golf trips and the like.
July 21st.
Up early, out for breakfast at Eat and Park, then to the field for some flying. The boys in Billy's flying club are awesome. They are friendly, welcoming and very knowledgeable. Billy did a great job flying his Taylorcraft and T34. The T34 was too fast for me. The Taylorcraft 450 was fun to fly. I bought a Taylorcraft 25e (62" wingspan) from Seagull. Should get it next week.
Back to the homestead, good nap, dinner at the Murray Street Grill, TV... a perfect Sunday.
July 23rd.
After a great time in Pittsburgh, we hit the road at 7:45 and made it to NYC about 1:30. Checked in to the Dream hotel on west 55 th and went for a walk.... what a surprise.. we wound up st Lavo for several drinks and some great mussels. Back to the hotel to clean up and then off to the Sondheim Theater to see "Beautiful"... Absolutely fabulous.

A Year In Movies, 2021
Since 1999, Iâve logged every movie Iâve seen, in the theater, online, or at home on video. In 2021 I saw 86 movies, fewer than in 2020. One of the reasons my total went down in 2021 is because we spent so many evenings this year re-watching âLost,â which was worth the while to experience the series anew with the kids. Most of the movies I saw this year were viewed at home, although we ventured out into the theater four times after getting vaccinated. My favorite new movie was Steven Spielbergâs new version of âWest Side Story.â My favorite new-to-me movie from a previous year I discovered was âTreasure Planet,â because it was such a nice surprise. (I had passed it up in 2002 thinking it wasnât going to be any good.)
Hereâs my full list from 2021, in chronological order. Thanks for reading!

2017 Movie Odyssey for-fun awards
The 2017 Movie Odyssey Awards are being posted sometime soon, but, as is tradition on this blog, here are some for-fun honors and dishonors based on a year of watching 200+ films that were new to me this calendar year.
Actor I wanted to smack most in the face: Mark Wahlberg, The Happening (2008)
Good lord, he was AWFUL. âPlanning on murdering me in my sleep?â âWHAT, NO!â Hereâs Wahlberg talking to a plastic tree.
Attempted political messaging, but says less than it wants: State of the Union (1948)
Frank Capra, you are better than this!
Attempted religious messaging, but says less than it wants: Conflagration (1958, Japan)
Best Film Title: What Dreams May Come (1998)
Best individual cue from an original score: âEnd Titlesâ from Independence Day (1996), composed by David Arnold
Best lyrics passage from an original song: From âNo Wrong Way Homeâ from Pearl (2016 short)
One blue-green world, round as a pearl, doesnât matter which road you take, youâll wind up in the same place. Thatâs not philosophy, itâs geometry, and if things donât look the same, well itâs only you whoâve changed.
Thereâs some interesting messaging and rhyming going on here. Damn.
Best Moment: An act of sportsmanship, followed by a grandstand finish, Akeelah and the Bee (2006)
If you have kids and they havenât seen this movie, find this movie. If you havenât seen this movie, find this movie.
Best Montage: Body-switching and âZenzenzenseâ, Your Name (2016, Japan)
Best Movie Dad: Raymond from My Life as a Zucchini (2016, Switzerland)
The first non-biological father to win here, I think. It matters not, though. He is wonderful here.
Best Movie Family Member, non-parent: Aunt Mattie (Clara Blandick), A Star Is Born (1937)
For supporting Estherâs dreams of going to Hollywood without fail. You go, Aunt Mattie. She really is not in this movie long enough.
Best Movie Mom(s): All of the Boatwrights (Queen Latifah, Alicia Keys, and Sophie Okonedo) and Rosaleen (Jennifer Hudson), The Secret Life of Bees (2008)
Again, a first in that these are adopted parents. Thanks to a good friend of mine for introducing to me the book.
Best on-screen friendship: The friendship between all the orphans in My Life as as Zucchini
Best use of non-original music (and best musical callback to a past movie): The many uses of âYouâll Never Knowâ from Hello Frisco Hello (1943) appearing in The Shape of Water (2017)
Hello Frisco Hello remains on my watchlist⊠weâll get there someday!
Best dance segment (for two): Rita Hayworth and Fred Astaire in âIâm Old Fashionedâ, You Were Never Lovelier (1942)
Best dance segment (solo): Donald OâConnor in âA Man Chases a Girl (Until She Catches Him)â, Thereâs No Business Like Show Business (1954)
Best sword fight: Errol Flynn v. Basil Rathbone, Captain Blood (1935)
Yeah, sorry folks who expected Rey and Kylo Ren v. Praetorian Guards or Kylo Ren v. Luke here.
Bestiality: The Red Turtle (2016, France/Belgium/Japan)
SPOILERS!!!
Biggest Disappointment: Marnie (1964)
Oh god, this may be the first Hitchcock movie I truly loathed (nor do I think it will be the last⊠Iâve basically seen all the greats by now).
Biggest (pleasant) surprise: Pear Cider and Cigarettes (2016 short)
I was worried about the explicit content for this Oscar-nominated short film, and that it might meander around its topic a bit. But no it didnât. Well done, well deserved nomination.
Biggest (unpleasant) surprise: Detroit (2017)
It becomes torture porn in the final third. The black victims are not nearly developed enough here as they should be.
Bloodbath: Logan (2017)
Is it the movie with the highest body count? Maybe not, considering I saw both Independence Day movies this year. But it was certainly bloody!
Bravest: Parvana, The Breadwinner (2017)
Going full-out Mulan to help her family survive in pre-American invasion Afghanistan? I was astounded by Parvanaâs resilience.
Donât take opiates, kids: Pink Floyd - The Wall (1982)
Greatest Discovery (Actor): Pierre Ătaix, Yoyo (1965, France)
Greatest Discovery (Actress): Brooklynn Prince, The Florida Project (2017)
Greatest Discovery (Director): D.A. Pennebaker, Donât Look Back (1967) and Monterey Pop (1968)
Hardest ending to watch: The Coward (1965, India)
Satyajit Ray pulling no punches here.
Hypnotic: Notes on a Triangle (1966 short)
A beautiful experimental animated short film. Someoneâs going to connect it to the Illuminati or some vast Canadian conspiracy somehow.
Kept me on the edge of my seat: Seven Days to Noon (1950)
A Cold War thriller at the very beginning of the Cold War has so much going for it than so many modern thrillers can never hope to achieve.
Kick-ass moment: This riding scene from The Man from Snowy River (1982)
Iâd like to see a chimpanzee with dual-wielding machine guns do that! Make it happen, 20th Century Fox!
Laziest (not worst) film title: Summer Magic (1963)
I mean, the songs are decent and Hayley Mills is, too. But come on, Disney!
Least funny comedy: That Funny Feeling (1965)
Least likely to deserve my negative review 10 years from now: Justice League (2017)
Because you know Zack Snyder will find a way to screw the DCEU up even more.
Least likely to deserve my positive review 10 years from now: I have a hunch itâs gonna be Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)⊠but I donât want that to be official here.
Line I will repeat the most down the years: âApes. Together. Strong.â, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
Made fashion designers compelling: Funny Face (1957)
Most Inspiring: Swim Team (2016)
A documentary that follows three members of a New Jersey Special Olympics swim team. All those kids have autism, and it is fantastic to see them learn, grow, and live over time. It isnât a Hoop Dreams, but it doesnât need to be.
Made me laugh the most: Blackbeardâs Ghost (1968)
And Iâm not ashamed to say that. Itâs not the best comedy by any means, but I got more laughter and mileage out of this one than anything else.
Most Memorable Use of an Icepick: Scarlet Street (1945)
Donât spoil if you know!
Most Overrated Picture: Manchester by the Sea (2016)
Casey Affleck had no business winning that Academy Award.
Most Underappreciated: The Great Man (1956)
In our world of âfake newsâ, this movie - which also comments on how we idealize our heroes - has many echoes on today. Itâs a good journalism/news media movie, even if itâs concentrated on early TV and especially radio.
Most Underseen: Bardelys the Magnificent (1926)
A good, entertaining adventure-romance silent film with John Gilbert and Eleanor Boardman. The reason why itâs underseen was because it was considered a lost film until recently, when a near-complete print turned up in France.
Movie I most wished to write on, but wasnât able to (because I ran out of October to do it): A retrospective on Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) and regular reviews for Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014) and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)
Movie that Iâm most eager to rewatch: Castle in the Sky (1986, Japan)
There was so much going on, and so many departures from Nausicaa that I need time to do a Retrospective review on this some day. Itâs a gorgeous film.
Nearly resulted in someone killing me in a theater: In This Corner of the World (2016, Japan)
Yeah, if the main character had gone to Hiroshima, I would have been a goner (and it wouldnât have been by my own hand).
Raunchiest: Destry Rides Again (1939)
Holy hell. There are so many entendres in here, and Marlene Dietrich is going all out on the sexuality! How did this get pass the Hays Code?
Sorry, I didnât get it, and I still donât get all the love for David Lynch (even though Mulholland was great): Eraserhead (1977)
Sounds most like a porno (other than Octopussy because thatâs too easy): Peeping Tom (1960)
With apologies to Michael Powell.
Star Trek alumni award: Patrick Stewart, Logan (2017)
Surprisingly relevant political commentary: They Wonât Forget (1937)
Northern-Southern attitudes in the United States? Even a touch of racial relations? Now if only Warner Bros. kept the defendant in the movie Jewish, as he was in real life.
Underrated: Lonely Are the Brave (1962)
One of the best neo-Westerns you are likely to see.
Worst film title: The Hound That Thought He Was a Raccoon (1960)
For chrissakes, Disney.
Worst Moment: All the rapey-ness of Revenge of the Nerds (1984)
It reminded me why the 1980s is in contention for my least favorite decade of filmmaking.
Stay tuned, the 2017 Movie Odyssey Awards will be up shortly! Thank you all for following. Thank you all for being here for as long as you have. Thank you for supporting all this blog does.

What we donât know: Exactly how many restaurant workers have been laid off due to the pandemic.

Restaurants are able to fulfill delivery and takeout orders, but can do so using skeleton crews.
Big number: 50%. Thatâs how many U.S. companies are considering layoffs, according to a survey released by Challenger, Gray & Christmas, the countryâs oldest outplacement firm. And the Federal Reserve of St. Louis estimated that 47 million jobs could be lost due to the coronavirus crisis. The numbers come on the heels of the 26 million American workers who filed for unemployment since the crisis began, according to data released Thursday, an all-time high.
Key background: There are now over 979,000 reported coronavirus cases in the U.S. and more than 55,000 deaths, according to data from Johns Hopkins University. Worldwide cases now amount to over 3 million infected and 209,000 dead. Meanwhile, President Trump signed a coronavirus relief bill into law that provides free testing and paid sick leave, along with a $2 trillion stimulus package and a subsequent $484 billion relief bill. At least 42 states have enacted stay-at-home orders that affect 316 million people or more. Cancelations of concerts, sports leagues, festivals, religious gatherings and other large events have impacted millions of people. President Trump enacted a 30 day travel ban from Europe that sent airlines and travelers scrambling to adjust, before declaring a national state of emergency. Some states, like Georgia, South Carolina, and North Dakota are beginning to ease restrictions, but most health experts agree that social distancing and business shutdowns continue to be necessary to reduce the virusâ spread. But the uncertainty over how and when the entire countryâand its citizensâcan resume normal life is a specter hanging over businesses, as they decide whether to cut workers.
