I can't imagine all of the pork non-coronavirus/economic-collapse stuff that they snuck into this bill. Bet it's loaded with stuff that is going to screw us for years.

The House might agree to the Senate bill by unanimous consent, which means there wouldn't be any further changes - but don't worry, Pelosi already made sure that there was pork aplenty in the Democrat version: $35M for the JFK Performing Arts Center, $236M for the effing IRS, $90M for a HIV/AIDS program, $36M for the "National Center for Advancing Translational Sciences" (whatever the heck that is), $7M for one specific charter school in DC, and on and on.

Dont forget she slid in those obama phones again. This was open shut case. Help all the laid off people,med infastructure and response and business ,espeacilly ones shut down by govt. If congress would just keep things simple when addressing issues instead of trying to maneuvar all the time we would all benefit greatly.

Ok y'all got the political statements out of your system now? Lol Seriously I know so much of this is intertwined but let's really try to keep them separate when it comes to "who is at fault", etc etc.

Thanks

The House version of the bill is titled the "House Democrats Counterproposal For Stimulus"; they self-identify it with a partisan label.

Should we just say the "D word" and the "R word" from now on? ?

Did she do a flu test, mono test? If its a teen id be getting mono test if the fever stays up past 72 to 96 hrs. Usually flu ever so slowly starts lessing its grip after hour 72. Still have the fatigue and other hangover from it. Mono does the same, except mono will drain you a lot longer. Urgent care can test for both on site and rule out.
 
Russia is probably dealing with a much larger and growing problem with this virus.

We keep mentioning about Russia fudging numbers (likely true), and some talk about how it's suspicious they don't have a lot of cases. But actually, it looks like their total cases are on a trajectory similar to everyone else in Europe. They are just behind a week or two.

No other associated symptoms (yet). If she’s still pyretic tomorrow morning I’m going to take her to the doc. I’ll also go if she starts exhibiting other symptoms.

Do you think the rest of the world talks about the US fudging the numbers since we are telling about 80% of the people to just not worry about getting a test?

Honestly, I think the world is too distracted by their own numbers to worry about ours. But I don't think that's the point you were making. :)

FWIW, I ain't happy w/the testing situation but have tried not focusing too much on it. I look forward to this all being over, and then we can decide which heads will roll.

That number may be fixing to go up in Madison County. My stepdad's mom is in an assisted living facility in Huntsville and was admitted to the hospital last night. She has a high fever with cough. Negative on flu test and no pneumonia on xray but her lungs are cracking. They said it would be 24 hrs before the covid 19 test was back. They started her on rocephin and a zpack. Prayers are needed
 
It’s time to stop singling out Italy. Spain is in just as bad of shape now, especially adjusted for population.
 
NC cases posotive is 504. Jump of 106 from Tuesday. 0 deaths so far.
Meck,Wake,and pitt? Counties on stay in place. Beleive thats right, someone can confirm Pitt county.
 
So for the free money, is it based off the 2018, 2019, or 2020 income? Not sure how they would know about 2020.
