This has killed almost and according to some people more Americans in 3 months than the " kong flu" did in 2 years and this is just thus far when for the last 2 months things were pretty much shut down. But don't let facts get in the way.

Another good use for your $1200 is to hit up your local farmer. See if they have a cow they will sell to butcher for meat. Freezer full of meat goes along way to ease the mind.
By the way, I am a local farmer.

That is the wise thing to do if you are living paycheck to paycheck, which the majority of us are. It will come in handy if you have to wait for an unemployment check.
Lol. All $1200. Yeah. That will go far.

I really wish I could see a breakdown of how many of those jobs were restaurant and bar jobs compared to other types of work.
Lost two bar jobs here

Federal Reserve Chairman Jerome Powell gave a dire warning Wednesday that the U.S. economy could become stuck in a painful multi-year recession if Congress and the White House do not approve more aid to address the coronavirus pandemic’s economic fallout.
“Additional fiscal support could be costly, but worth it if it helps avoid long-term economic damage and leaves us with a stronger recovery,” Powell said in a videoconference with the Peterson Institute for International Economics.
Powell said that the United States is in the midst of the “biggest shock our economy has felt in modern times” with job losses at levels not seen since the Depression era and the potential for mass waves of business closures and bankruptcies that could diminish growth for years to come.
He said low-income Americans are facing the brunt of this economic crisis and they have the least ability to handle it. Almost 40 percent of U.S. households making less than $40,000 a year lost a job in March, he said, citing results from a Fed survey coming out later this week.

The US ranks 39th among nations in tests per capita for Covid-19.
The US has 4.2% of the world's population, but
-- has done only 1.9% of the world's Covid-19 tests
-- has 32.3% of the Covid-19 cases
-- has 28.4% of the Covid-19 deaths
94% of all countries have fewer Covid-19 deaths per capita than the United States.
American carnage.

Sorry to hear it, man. The longer this goes the more people that are going to end up in this boat. I was furloughed over a month ago. If you haven't applied for unemployment stop whatever you're doing right now and do that right now. The systems are swamped. It might not be a quick process. We're fortunate that my wife hasn't been furloughed... yet. But her workplace has been talking furloughs and layoffs since the beginning of this, so honestly it won't be the least bit surprising if it happens.
I am curious what field of work you are in that you are getting let go this late into this ? As well as the rest of you.

and why is this?...maybe because the government shut everything down?
You are correct sir. The wuhan flu was all a hoax. We knew it way back in january that it would all go away as soon as the sun came out.

We’re gonna need UBI and massive socialist programs to actually help people just survive but meanwhile Las Vegas mayor on cnn is talking about opening up the casinos and how America should just open everything up and if some places become hot spots, it’s that establishments fault and then let the free market figure it out. Can’t make this poo up.
I saw that on PBS newshour last night. Mayor of LV is a fuging idiot. they asked her how they could social distance a casino and she basically replied " I don't know its up to them to figure it out "

Who's going to be able to afford it when you're unemployed? If it's part of an infrastructure package sure. But broadband expansion is way down on the list of things this country needs right now.
I think it ought to be free. Support it with some sort of tax just like roads/bridges etc. Maybe a small tax on internet sales or advertising or the like.

The next dozen years will belong to the folks that have actual hand skills and know how to do useful things like fix a car, farm/grow what ever, and medically help folk. The day of the internet egghead who only knows how to program internet games and the like, or talk sports and other non productive nonsense is probably over for the for seeable future.

Same. We will be able to tell which company cares about their employees and which cares only about profits.
It wont matter when the unemployment benefits run out and dotard refuses to extend them. The ruling class has us right where they want us. Work or starve and go homeless. Throw a few more serfs on the fire so we can warm up our profit margins.

Those viruses weren't very biologically successful and vaccine development is very costly, both in monetary terms and resources. The outbreaks didn't last long enough for the early vaccine efforts to come to fruition.
And from what little I have read and know about it, we are light years ahead of where we were during those outbreaks medical technology wise as far as drug/vacs development.

I didn't say anything about "get rich quick," that's on you. But there's plenty of money to be made right now, and I'm sorry you weren't taught how to go make it. But have fun "socking it away."
Lets see. You've come up with a corona cure ?

Eh...if everyone there has been isolated for the past three weeks, the odds of spreading anything are really low.
I highly doubt that everyone at the party has had no contact with the virus. Just a gut feeling.

The captain of the aircraft carrier USS Theodore Roosevelt sent an urgent memo to the Navy on Monday asking for help in addressing the spread of the coronavirus among his ship's crew. Captain Brett Crozier wrote that "[d]ecisive action is required now" to comply with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) guidelines and "prevent tragic outcomes."
In a four-page unaddressed letter, Crozier suggested most of the 4,000 crew members should be removed from the ship and put into 14-day individual quarantines, in keeping with the CDC's recommended guidelines for preventing infection. Ten percent would stay onboard to sanitize the carrier and run the reactor, which he called a "necessary risk." In peacetime, he argued it was the right thing to do.
"We are not at war. Sailors do not need to die," he wrote. "If we do not act now, we are failing to take care of our most trusted asset — our Sailo
I wonder who is going to watch the nuclear reactors ?
