Neverending Covid-19 Coronavirus

Only if you are current on student loans though. If you are behind on your student loans the Department of Education can seize this stimulus the same way they can seize your tax return.

So let me get this straight, people who are already having financial trouble can have their stimulus seized and won't see a dime to help them through this hard time when they need it most because this is a tax credit.

Luckily though, the department of education can't seize the expanded unemployment insurance benefits.

Invest in airlines and banks. They need this money and they're going to get it. Workers can just tighten up their bootstraps and work harder!
 
Add Florida to the list of states publically rejecting a lockdown.

Florida's governor said today that he finds it 'wildly inappropriate for a state to tell workers that they can't go to work'.
I've done population health stats on people in FL. They reeeeaaaaallllyyy need to lock the state down.
 
What most people aren't hearing yet but is starting to gain some traction is that a lot of deaths are not being reported. Either they aren't tested - pending a test, and they aren't doing any post-mortem tests on the untested patents that die.


Also that these patients die alone. Most hospitals have a no-visitor policy in place.

We have a pretty strict policy in effect - comfort care/actively dying can have 1 vistor a day for 30 minutes. Minors can have 1 parent. And a woman giving birth can have 1 vistor - but not in the delivery room - as we can't spare the PPE for them.

The Covid patients that die aren't considered "actively dying" - most are still full code and isn't a planned event to where we can arrange a visitor in time.
 
oh...and the Governor of Mississippi is a piece of shit.

Some mayors in cities like Tupelo had to reverse their "stay-at-home" orders because the Governor issued his own order that overrides them...and it isn't as strict of an order.



(My mom and brother live in Mississippi, both aren't in the greatest of health, mom is old and a smoker, brother is a Type 1 Diabetic and smoker...and my brother is also a nurse in a Gulfport hospital)


The Govenor did this just as Louisiana is exploding with positive cases....Alabama is growing, and Florida will become the next hot spot. Mississippi (as is most of the south) is full of sick, poor people that won't be able to pray this away and go to church for Easter.
 
It is going to be too late to do anything once a lot of people stop thinking it's a hoax. Probably when they can't breathe and there isn't a ventilator or ICU bed for them.

It's unfortunate it will get to that, but hopefully there is a reckoning for the leadership that will completely fail them. My personal opinion is also that the sacrificed lives will not save the economy at all (I'm not an economist, so this is really just my own thought process and maybe I'm wrong, but I'm afraid that the resulting chaos will still cause it to tank).

that is exactly what is going to happen
 

A 45-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) said she received an online message from her health care provider stating it will no longer refill her vital hydroxychloroquine prescriptions because that drug is being used to treat the "critically ill with COVID-19," the disease caused by the novel coronavirus. The letter thanked her for her "sacrifice."
...
In a statement provided to BuzzFeed News, Kaiser Permanente confirmed that it was no longer filling routine prescriptions for chloroquine.

"As we face the real possibility of running out of the drug for everybody if we don’t take steps to mitigate the shortage, Kaiser Permanente, like other health care organizations across the country, has had to take steps to control the outflow of the medication to ensure access to severely sick patients, including both COVID-19 and those with acute lupus," said Nancy Gin, regional medical director of Quality and Clinical Analysis at Kaiser Permanente, Southern California, which has 4.6 million members.
 
Be afraid, be very afraid!

This will affect our borders as well. What are we going to do with truck traffic if there's so much spread? Additional measures will have to be in place (not sure what but I could see a forced quarantine of foreign drivers to their trucks while here, forced quarantine of canadian drivers when they return, maybe exchange of cargo at the border?) - none of this is good and it's all sure to piss of their leadership.
 

The Cheesecake Factory (NASDAQ:CAKE) informed landlords that it won't be able to make rent payments due on April 1 for any of its storefronts, according to a report from Eater Los Angeles.
