Also, its $600 a week on top of unemployment benefits from the state. Plus the 1200 stimulus. I'm looking forward to my first unemployment check. It will be more than my regular check was.

.... I don't think that is what actually happened... What I saw is that they are giving a monthly payment of $2000 to those that are unable to work due to the Corona Virus until they are able to work or for 4 months depending on which comes first. Where did you read that they just waived...

Pretty sure all states will end up keeping schools closed for the rest of the year. At this point it just wouldn't make sense to reopen them. Lesson plans would need to be reworked, custodial staff would need to be reactivated, etc. Besides, before schools closed parents were keeping their...

Start checking your bank accounts folks, people are already starting to get their stimulus money if they used direct deposit to file taxes.

People did not act responsibly on their own. Then they didn't act responsibly when asked to. Then when it was mandated they still didn't. Now we are at a point where in some places the healthcare system is breaking (though, mostly in cities that were already over populated to start with)...

So basically you only think FOX is not biased when they report on stories that confirm your own bias. What's the color of the sky in your world?

From what I gather, Southern schools ending and starting earlier is a carry over from when children were needed as farm labor. I suppose the same can hold true today. NYC has canceled the spring break for kids. Seems a bit messed up not to give families a bit of a break, but I guess it is...

I am sure the virus was here well before we realized it. By the time you find your first confirmed case it is already too late. It still doesn't really explain the low numbers. I think the numbers being lower than New York have to do with how the people responded. In NY Cuomo has literally...

I don't think you understand how airborne viruses work.

Also, FYI, if you have those blue Scott Shop Towels at home you can make face masks that are more effective than surgical masks. They are about 54% effective at protecting you from others and more or less 100% at protecting others from you. Surgical masks are 39% effective at protecting you...

Couple more things than that. Wait times are long which means increase suffering. It's not like waiting in line at a movie. Do you want to wait longer for a hip surgery as you suffer and are unable to walk? MRI machines are in much less supply than US. The country literally will not buy...

So... you spoke to every Canadian? Cool. Also love how you ignore most of the post to try to counter a point that you aren't even right about. I got my info from sources, one of which is here...

So first off, it is not free, it is tax payer funded. Free implies no cost. There will be a cost in the form of higher taxes. Even Bernie Sanders pie in the sky plan of taxing billionaires 90% would include higher taxes for people earning as low as 29,000 a year. Second. Canada has...

So in NYC pretty much all online grocery delivery services are totally booked for weeks on end. Fresh Direct, which only allows you to book 7 days ahead, has all 7 day ahead time slots filled up the second midnight hits. It is impossible for them to keep up with the demand now. Luckily, for me...

When I was a kid, MTM was my favorite. However, I think that may have been because it was the only Muppet movie my local video store has to rent and I didn't own it until much later in life. So it was kind of a special treat to watch it. Now, I would say GMC is my favorite movie to watch...

Ok... so... this is where I actually DEFEND @D'Snowth. Not for his reaction to this post though, but for the comment about breathing... Most research has shown that the virus spreads via droplets. A virus that is spread by droplets does not spread through breathing. It will spread through...

Actually, it's Covid-19 season... :embarrassed:

I love how people think political discussion is toxic, but @D'Snowth wished a horrible illness on someone and he is not considered the toxic one. But see, it's ok. He didn't wish for someone to DIE from the horrible illness, just suffer from it long term. It isn't as if that would be MORE...

Airborne and being aerosolized are two different things. If a person sneezes they can aerosolize their droplets and if infected, the virus can be in the aerosolized droplets for a period of time. When outside, this aerosolized spray dissipates quickly. Airborne means it travels just from...

I would pay good money to see these two have a conversation....
