Re: Covid-19

Evidently the Repubs think the unemployment benefits of four months will encourage people not to work. But no problem with $500 million in free money to Wall Street. What idiot would risk no income in four months over having a full time job?

Somebody correct me if I'm wrong, but they only extended unemployment benefits from 3 months to 4 months. If the Repugs are hung up on that one month then they should be more concern with those companies stealing millions.

As someone said: this isn't welfare, it's relief. The idea that people who have been forced out of jobs are trying to not work is insulting.

well we've heard about a lot of public figures with COVID-19 but we never hear of any that have any real problems with it. KAT's mom is one of the closest to a public figure that is close to death, I hope she pulls through

13 people died of this at Elmhurst Hospital in Queens in 24 hours. They rented a refrigerated truck to store bodies. This 5.5 minute video of one of their ER docs is haunting:
