Coronavirus COVID-19

[Winterborn]

Kushner and Ivanka are on it. We should be good.

Both of them?

More air time for Ivanka is a good thing in my opinion.

Dr. Fauci is a physician and immunologist. He isn't qualified to understand the sociological and economic impacts of shelter-in-place, physical distancing, etc. Why don't we get someone with expertise in those fields involved and trust their opinion as well?

I think that he understand perfectly. He would tell you straight up expect more spreading of the virus and more human death....pretty simple.

I find it pretty telling that the Party of Life wants everyone to get back to work. The President of the United States should lead the way.....let him, Pence and the rest of his inner circle (his family)...... do a tour of states that open and go into the factories, stores and restaurants to support the people on the front lines.

It's simple to a simpleton. Quantifying the negative impacts of shelter-in-place so that you can rationally compare them to the positives is complicated but necessary.

At some point the lives saved by shelter-in-place will be outweighed by the lives lost and damaged.

Anybody else have their stimulus check hit their bank account today?

Mine hit yesterday.

That was unexpected. I was expecting to have to somehow file for it or something .. or at least sign on the line somewhere and I wasn’t planning on doing it.

Frankly, all government workers are still getting paid. I’m no worse off today than I was 3 months ago. In fact, I’m saving money right now- more than normal. There are people who aren’t working and are having to start wondering how they’re going to eat. I realize it was easier to just do a blanket deal for everybody, but a big chunk of change is going to people who aren’t out of work.

What would an acceptable deaths per day range be, for the government to open the country back up. It appeared we had reached a peak, and then a new daily high yesterday of 2500+ deaths in 1 day.

Mine just hit today - basically the $500 per kid portion.

Like another poster said, my income hasn't been impacted yet, so some of this is being donated locally to a food bank. I'm sure I'll spend some more locally as well.

I'm guessing there would be a net gain if you had a 19yo that is no longer considered a dependent as they would get a bigger check than you would get if you received a "per child" check?

It just dawned on me that my 97yo mother might be getting a check. Unfortunately, she owed taxes (less than $100) each of the last two years so I wrote a check rather than having it electronically withdrawn. So I guess that means she will get a check in the mail later this summer, if she gets one at all. Silly. She is not impacted either.

The funniest thing in the movie is in that scene with the prisoner in chains clapping to the song.

My understanding is that if the 19 year old is not a dependent they would get their own check. But any dependent 17 or above you don't get the $500 for them. I just filed my 2019 taxes last week so I'm guessing they used my 2018 taxes to calculate my amount. I'm going to have to look because the amount deposited is more than I was expecting.

At this point we don't need this either. We've been getting takeout more frequently to try help the local restaurants and will continue to do so with this money.

OR, Fox is trying to offset NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN....

indeed

But this was Faux Newes mojo long before Trump came along (sucking GOP dick).

And NBC, ABC, CBS, MSNBC, CNN... have been at it long before Trump as well. Why is it so hard for you libs to admit it?

Sucks to be in the 1%... in my 1964 1200 sq ft rambler driving a 2005 POS car.

BTW, something is not right with this IRS thing. 89Jr got a deposit into his account. One, I don't think he qualifies and two, he's never done direct deposit with the IRS. How would they get his account info?

You must be new here. Welcome to cs.com.

Do you think the Task Force that is supposed to decide when to open the economy has enough competent economists and scientists to come the decision balancing science and economics you were advocating for?

The Task Force doesn't have a single scientist. It has 1 economist. It has both Kushner and Ivanka.

It’s all tribalistic infotainment. Journalism does not require balance. It’s up to the consumer to read between the lines and be skeptical of everything.

Yep. And the biggest mistake we can make is attempting to separate economics from healthcare.

Trump White House counselor Kellyanne Conway on Wednesday uncorked a scientifically illiterate rant about the coronavirus in which she blamed the World Health Organization for not having the situation better under control.

“This is COVID-19, not COVID-1, folks!” Conway said during an interview on “Fox & Friends.” “And so you would think the people in charge of the World Health Organization facts and figures should be on top of that right now.”

In reality, the “19” at the end of COVID-19 denotes it as a strain of the virus that was discovered in 2019, rather than marking it as the 19th overall strain of the virus.

The twitter-verse has gone off the rails humiliating her. It's good.

Well it certainly isn't going back to the Walter Cronkite days so good luck with your MAGA "winning".

You're seen the folks in our country, right?

Agreed. We should just shelter in place for the rest of our lives.
