F them - no money for me (joking btw)

Also their package includes corporate tax cuts... which is beyond dumb. Corporations only pay taxes on profits.... that is not in the universe of current problems.

Also I find it amusing that anyone though the Republicans would come up with anything close to a reasonable package. ... all these liberals have been freaking out on twitter about getting outflanked.. Yeah that was never going to happen

They pretend for a bit but when the time comes they always go back to their roots of giving away to the least that need help, corporations, wealthy etc. Unfortunately their messaging is really good so people think they got them help.

Gavin Newsom, governor of California just wrote a letter begging Trump to deploy the Mercy Hospital Ship to port of Los Angeles until September. He said they project 56% of California's population will be infected in just EIGHT weeks!

Try meditation, start watching a sitcom, whatever, but don't let yourself always thinking about this. I know it's hard, but it's way better.

Moreover: Most models say 60-70% of the population will be infected. Based on your posts you seem to be in the 30-40% that won't…

I distract myself playing with my daughter+ playing video games. Work is so dead though that I have endless hours of downtime. Which I use pretty much purely researching this pandemic.

Maybe research the stock market or property market. Maybe try to forecast ways you can pick up some more money in the present or future. Maybe read, write a fictional story, think of an idea for a business. Honestly, if you put that energy into something useful you could get a lot out of it for you and your family.

That's the drug they've been using in South Korea, that we've been talking about for a couple weeks. They combine it with zinc

That's what you get when there's a vindictive baby in the Oval Office. He's going to let the Blue States which have most of the population in the country suffer wantonly. I'm sorry ClipsFanSince98. Stock up and #STAYTHEFHOME.

I feel way better after taking a break. I do listen to the news on Tunein while i work though. Just getting away from the screen for 8-10 hours is good.

After we get through this I expect a lot of people to get their pitchforks and torches out. They aren't going to get away with it this time.

Yikes man. This **** isn't good. TBH I already half believe I have it anyway. I'm in day 6 or 7 of shortness of breath (mild), sore throat, headaches etc. IF I do have it... in a way it's a good thing (to get it over with now and build antibodies, assuming it doesn't flip into pneumonia) and means my body is obviously strong enough to fight this off and I haven't went into pneumonia. I feel like I'm getting better, then next day start feeling a little sicker. It's been mild the entire time overall though.

I called about possibly testing 3-4 days ago but they still didn't have enough tests to do people that aren't admitted fully to an ER.

But the banks, airlines, Boeing, no means testing for them right???? People are hurting across the country and need help immediately while these clowns are busy wasting time figuring out how to pretend their are helping them. "Oh we'll help but we can't help that much".

For example here: https://www.dw.com/en/coronavirus-germanys-angela-merkel-urges-solidarity-and-reason/a-52719086

It was after a discussion they had w/ the Robert Koch Institute if I'm recalling that correctly.

I mean, can the executive branch just make something materialize now? Lol

These were largely manufactured in China, who turned shipments around, people started panic-buying, and there is a major need now. This created a shortage.

Can we follow the same rules another mod posted here from the jump and address the blatant political BS that keeps flooding this thread under the guise of posting tweets.
