It's okay though, we're getting a one time payment of $1200. That'll totally cover the fact that I had to quit my job to not kill the medically at risk people I live with.

Actually people who earn less than you get only $600 and the unemployed dont get anything at all.
Don't call that socialism by the way.
Correctly applied socialism would have the strongest take the most care of the weakest.
I read that they phased it out so everyone making under 75k gets 1200 now
And the socialism comment was clearly sarcasm. The GOP senators that fight any sort of "socialized" programs are the ones that fought whole-heartedly to give away hundreds of billions to corporations with practically no strings attached. The yacht, private jet, and luxury home industry is about to be poppin' like it's 2008 again

It should be based on a percentage of your income if they're going to do it at all. But that would blow people's fucking minds.

So, is it automatically sent checks? Or, is it something a person has to apply for?

Sen. Martha McSally (R-Ariz.) has introduced legislation that would withhold pay from all Senate members until the chamber passes a coronavirus stimulus package in response to the national outbreak.
“If Americans aren’t getting paid, then neither should the Senators failing to support the workers and families who need help making ends meet,” McSally said in a statement on Tuesday... https://thehill.com/homenews/senate/489347-new-bill-would-withhold-pay-from-senate-until-a-coronavirus-stimulus-package
Also, Commissioner Dermot Shea said that 211 NYPD members have tested positive for the virus, including 177 uniformed officers and 34 civilian employees, local station WCBS reported. Shea said that another 2,700 to 2,800 are out sick... https://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/489362-nypd-says-over-200-members-have-tested-positive-for-coronavirus
That's a lot of 'dirty', exposed infected cops.

Crossing my fingers that people stay kinda scared about it anyway for a few more weeks here though bc work is a fucking cakewalk. People are even apparently overdosing on drugs in far fewer numbers, it is very confusing. Maybe some sort of opioid supply chain from China got interrupted a while back
Remember the time that congresswoman said nurses spend all their time playing cards?
Yeah normally we dont spend any time playing cards but apparently during a pandemic we do
Obviously my heart goes out to all those working in new york

It still seems like most papers tend towards showing efficacy in remdesivir and hydroxychloroquine as well as chloroquine,
I have no opinion, I was just trying to find what people who say they aren't effective had to say and write about.

The numbers being reported for the US today seem fishy...
How did they have +11k new cases yesterday and around 600 cases today (so far)?

Cuomo currently speculating about the reason virus spread. stating the obvious, density, international airport. let's see if he brings up climate
edit: he did not.

Conspiracy. The Republicans are fudging the numbers so the dems cant use this as a grab-bag 
Could be that better hygiene practices, moderate social distancing and warmer weather make a difference

Not that fast and drastically. Sorry, I wish it worked that way, but it doesn't.
