    Meanwhile the GOP and Dems are playing games and making plays for power with this stimulus bill. I guess it's fine for them since they're still getting paid.

    Oh well, in other news Pornhub Premium is free for the time being

    While they're banned, I wanted to respond, as someone who's gluten intolerant.

    Yeah, we're not doing that shit. If you see regular bread in my grocery cart, it's because half my family is gluten-intolerant, and that's their bread. There's also the gluten-free stuff in there. And if I run out of that, I'm not gonna make myself ill by eating regular bread; I'll start baking my own.

    Your post here is just misanthropic hatemongering, for the sake of putting others down to somehow feel better about yourself. Nothing more.

    I'm not eating food I'm intolerant to, not unless we're literally in a starvation environment and no food can be found, and we're nowhere close to that shit.

    The difference being that Democrats want to give the people $1,500, and want to Expand unemployment benefits, as well as trying to give the Hospitals much more money, and want to Keep utilities on for people living paycheck to paycheck.

    While Republicans like Mitch McConnell have blocked HUNDREDS of Policies that the working class and people struggling in the US would benefit from.

    Meanwhile in India:

    https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world...ms/ar-BB11D64r

    Title: U.S. could be next 'virus epicenter' as India locks down, global recession looms

    This article covers several unrelated topics. The part about India I found most interesting, though in a morbid kind of way

    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said on Tuesday the government would impose a nationwide lockdown from midnight for 21 days.

    Health researchers have warned that more than a million people in India could be infected with the coronavirus by mid-May, prompting the government to shut down all air and train travel, businesses and schools.

    On Tuesday, Modi, leader of the world's biggest democracy, went further, saying nobody would be allowed to leave their homes.

    "The only way to save ourselves from coronavirus is if we don’t leave our homes, whatever happens, we stay at home," Modi said.

    India has so far reported 482 confirmed cases of the coronavirus and nine deaths.
    First of all, this seems to be a complete and total lock down nationwide. The gist of it is: for the next 21 days, people are forbidden to leave their homes. This is nationwide.

    Second of all: there are 482 confirmed cases, with 9 deaths. This majorly contrasts with the "more than a million people in India could be infected with the coronavirus by mid May". Basically, since they have been deficient in testing, they cannot tell one way or another, but their expectations are that the current number of cases is orders of magnitude higher than the 482.

    The exponential growth continues in Australia. Another 368 cases bringing the total to 2042, an 18% increase. Low compared to other places but we are still a couple of weeks behind. Of concern is that there have only been 70 recovered cases and 8 deaths.

    At this rate we have just 15 days until we exceed ICU capability.

    The lockdowns keep getting upgraded, which hopefully will slow it down.

    Schools remain open, which has the teachers unions up in arms. They feel that the teachers and other school staff are being sacrificed, and given I work in a school I can understand that sentiment. On the other hand I do understand the governments motive behind it, so that they don't loose 30% of the health sector who will have to stat home to look after their kids.

    Have you guys seen the recent speech from our friend Trump? He just declared the victory over covid19. Not even a joke...

    His administration’s goal is to “ease the guidelines and open things up to very large sections of our country as we near the end of our historic battle with the invisible enemy,” the president said. “It’s been going a while time, but we win. We win.”

    The president claimed a “very, very powerful victory” over the virus as he praised Deborah Birx, a State Department official, for being perhaps the best infectious disease expert in the world – as his top infectious disease official, the widely popular Anthony Fauci, making his briefing room return, looked on behind him.

    The president declared the US is seeing a “light at the end of a tunnel”.

    Nice job boys and girls in usa! You somehow mananged to defeat and win againts the Covid19! Dont worry about the numbers and all the deads, you have won!

    That's a great analogy which explains why so many of these conversations hop in circles.

    article makes it sound like the money is just for those who ended up unemployed from the virus and those who just got reduced hours but still work in some capacity because of the virus are just screwed.

    Doesn't seem that way to me. $1200 to most Americans seems like money is going to...most Americans...not just the ones that have lost their jobs.
