We never would have had this problem if Biden had simply gotten the Lorem vote and Sanders the Ipsum vote, as everyone was expecting.

So Romney's words are becoming reality, within 2 weeks every US citizen will get a check for 1000USD or more in the mail.
Spend it wisely folks.  Don't hoard.

EDIT: correction, not every US citizen. 'Rich' people will not get it.
Although it is yet unclear where the line between rich and not rich will be drawn.

That shit is going straight to my bank account. Or maybe I'll splurge on one of these gutted stocks. Luckily I work in tech so my hours have not been affected by the Corona Virus yet.

Same, assuming I qualify for it.

I'm in mild disbelief that the current administration would give people money, and I'm very curious what the results of all of this will be.

I'm not even sure it's actually happening yet. There's multiple similar efforts going on on that front and as near as I can tell none of them have actually, like, passed both chambers of congress, nevermind anything so far as implementation goes.

Working from home starting tomorrow, as some patients at my wife's place of work  Testing incomplete as of now.

Amazon is prioritizing shipments on things that help a person stay home or otherwise fight Covid-19.

IIRC it has bipartisan support, but I would think this is one of those things they'll just "do" under emergency powers or some such. Things are moving fast these days, but I was still surprised how fast this went from idea to reality. Maybe Orange Man figures this makes him look generous and responsive and will help him get elected.

I just wish testing would expand faster, really. There's still pretty fucked up restrictions in some places (florida), even when we're well past the point of community transmission and awareness of the possibility of asymptomatic spread and crap.

I mean, you'd think, but last I heard anything major Senate GOP was stonewalling parts of the house bill and GOP congresscritters in general had no idea what the fuck was going on so far as executive/congress emergency measure negotiations were concerned. I'll be surprised about how fast it hit reality just as soon as I can get some confirmation it actually has.

Apparently it cut off part of my post? My wife is a nurse, some patients are showing symptoms. Testing incomplete.

Anyway Amazon is prioritizing baby items, household items, medical items, food etc. Shit you might not be able to leave the house for soon enough.

Well, in conflictingly mitigation not-bad/not-good news, apparently bernie's getting utterly fucking crushed in florida (and basically everywhere else voting tonight, for that matter). I feel less bad about not making it to the polling station out of concern this cough is something contagious

Great, so they worm their way even deeper into being the "company store" of the entire west.
