 being with family is not a first world problem, mike. it would crush the best of us. two weeks away from my kids, birthday or not, would be enough to do me in. stay strong. and don't feel guilty about being sad about it. he's your son.mcgruff10 said:First world problems I know but something just hit me hard: I won’t be able to my son on his birthday Thursday. My ex is a nurse practitioner in the trenches with all this. We agreed to keep him with her until this all this passes. Haven’t seen him in almost two weeks and I am cool with that but missing his birthday, god damn I am crushed.
 I highly agree, missed my brother ( brother in law but I consider him a brother ) 40th birthday that was just him , my sister and their kids , missed my nephews 9th birthday a week ago.My mom is a cancer survivor with pre existing lung issues , we Facetime ever night but she is now on day 21 inside her apartment , I miss her more than I can say , I still get to see her but just wanted to hug her. I have a very close knit family and we at least had a plan in place , we take turns getting groceries for her. Place them at her door and say we love her. Once we leave she brings them in with plastic gloves on and throws away all the bags and wash's the cans and other food containers. I think some of our friends thought we were crazy a few weeks ago starting this but at this point at least my mom has not had contact with anyone for three weeks. Cant wait to hug every person I know when I can.

 Sorry, I thought you mean the link doesn't help. Sounds like you're saying the bill doesn't help you. I think people who own a small business and have taken the historic practice of a small salary while expensing lots of things back to the business will not be helped as much with this bill. People who lived off accurately reported and taxed salary numbers will be assisted.tempo_n_groove said:

 Well that sucks. Has your work or pay been impacted by this at all yet? Based on what I read, my family will receive around $3400, but my job has not been impacted as of yet so while I don't mind the boost, I am not one of the people who most needs it.tempo_n_groove said:

 Let's hope you're right. But the US put measures in place too slow. And don't have enough testing to get real, good numbers. Which I think is larger point of the article. We are underestimating the effect that is coming in the next couple weeks.
 Some quick napkin math (disclaimer) I did with the countries who have the most cases. The US has a very high number of Deaths/1M, when compared to known Cases/1M. This leads the author to believe there are a lot of undiagnosed cases out there. 
 Essentially, we have a lot of catching up to do in the next couple weeks.0

 That is correct. The lack of testing has really fucked up our ability to handle a response to this virus and made a lot of people drag their feet on how serious it is because so many are basing it just on who has been tested.DewieCox said:

 That sucks. Are you referring to the $1200 direct checks? You may still be able to draw unemployment or something at least? It looks like unemployment is supposed to be opened to an unprecedented number of new applicants like self employed, gig workers, etc, so hopefully you can find something. That’s where I am at which is not where I want to be. I would much prefer to be working and making my full pay rate but for now UE will get us through the lockdown. Hopefully there are still jobs on the other side.Scio me nihil scire

 Stimulus, so everyone who makes less than the amounts they list.That is absolutely one of the least important parts of this bill but will get the most noise...$1200 or even $3400 would not be a large help to a family w/o work for any period of time. Need to unroll what this means to businesses, for unemployment, etc...pretty long thing to read through.The love he receives is the love that is saved0

 Stimulus, so everyone who makes less than the amounts they list.That is absolutely one of the least important parts of this bill but will get the most noise...$1200 or even $3400 would not be a large help to a family w/o work for any period of time. Need to unroll what this means to businesses, for unemployment, etc...pretty long thing to read through.I'll ride the wave where it takes me......0

 What do you need? Do you fall under self employment, or having a struggling business? Just wondering.....it really sucks that it won’t help you out. I wrote my idiot congressmen, not sure if it helped at all but it is good to get your specific needs out there to people crafting these bills.tempo_n_groove said:

 That sucks. Are you referring to the $1200 direct checks? You may still be able to draw unemployment or something at least? It looks like unemployment is supposed to be opened to an unprecedented number of new applicants like self employed, gig workers, etc, so hopefully you can find something. That’s where I am at which is not where I want to be. I would much prefer to be working and making my full pay rate but for now UE will get us through the lockdown. Hopefully there are still jobs on the other side.
 Oh well...0

 well it looks like Lindsey Graham is gonna play the republican bootstraps personal responsibility game and force people to go broke on principle because some people might get a little more in the short term. Meanwhile no problem giving billions to the airlines that don’t need it to actually survive. Well we were doomed from the start when the British stockholders decided to build a nation on genocide and slavery. In addition this is a temporary relief measure of four months...also you can’t draw unemployment if you quit your job only if you get laid off. He is telling a story that people are going to quit work and draw unemployment. Good luck it’s hard enough to get when you are laid off. These people and their bullshit personal political agendas right now....Post edited by static111 onScio me nihil scire
