Coronavirus, Covid 19 Discussion and How It Has Affected Your Daily Life Chat Thread

For some that may be true. Good for you if that's your thing.

I'm not evangelizing. Just stating what's working for us.

If there are taxes withheld from your paycheck then you should file if you are due a refund. If you are head of household you can qualify for the earned income credit. Just a suggestion.

The question begs here - if due a refund and wait to file until the extended deadline, 1) will a relief check arrive before filing assuming last minute or later as theres no penalty if IRS owes you - you can take 3 years and still get your refund, and 2) will they complicate things based on what they sent you based on 2018 filing in a different tax status and all...

I'm sorry, that came off as flippant and mean, not my intention. I didn't feel that you were. I'm not a religious person, I do meditate evety day and lately it has been twice a day.

.... I think I did hear that last week or sometime that the actual numbers are about 2 weeks behind and it will take that long to know if it is working, like the social distancing stuff.

This is very true. In the Netherlands we managed to stop the increase of new infestations going up. But the numbers of the people who need hospital care and ICU still raise because it often takes 2 weeks before people get serious breathing / lung problems.

Social distancing really helps (>1.5 meter). No events and gatherings. All schools closed. etc. is becoming effective. But oxygen machines and ICU’s are filled up at the end of next week. Right now they are preparing more beds and try to get hold on more means to help the very sick.

And for those who heard about the 16 year old boy on ICU: he is doing better and released from ICU.

Skip the post if you don't want to read it? Don't click on the video? Problem solved.

I don't mind a few Cookie & Dough items and yes I skip them. But it’s not possible to ignore them if there are so many posts about cooking, baking and other food hobbies. Why don’t you all start another thread like: All about food during Corona crisis. There are enough to make it a fun thread.

Yeah, I read even if it’s working the number of cases will still go up at first because it takes about 2 weeks to really show symptoms. Seems to fall in line with what you were saying and what I’ve seen.

I’m glad it seems to be working though and that the boy is doing better!!!

And I’ll try to watch it! I don’t think it happens too often though, I think it’s just like at night or whatever when everyone is on, sometimes a conversation gets going.

I will unsubscribed. I call BS and trouble making on both of your parts.

A person letting off steam without using foul language is funny. I am amused at them venting.

It gets worse. Technically it's supposed to be based on your projected 2020 filings so if you earn more money in 2020 than projected you have to return some or all of it.

I know what you mean KDOGG. I used to raise enough meat birds for our yearly needs at my old farm and would take them to a local Mennonite farm. They had an inspected facility set up just for butchering. It was well worth the $2 per chicken and $8 per turkey price tag to have them do it. And I knew my birds were treated well with human hands and no harsh chemicals were used.
First time I went though I bawled like a baby when I left my birds. It got easier in time.

Now I live where there are no places to take them. Remember, we have severe allergies here, but I've been able to make do with what safe stuff I can find locally, which was already super hard to find.
Now? Pfft. And for the foreseeable future? Double pfft....it's gonna be really hard to find safe meats. So, I've decided I'll need to put my big girl boots on and butcher myself. I know how, and I'm not squeamish at all, I just don't like to. I'm a ninny.

Thank you. Yeah, I just watched a video on it and I think I could probably do it but it kind of makes me nervous or whatever thinking about it. I’m hoping I don’t have to but at the same time, I kind of want to try it.

And oh wow! I had no idea they were so unsafe!

I think that’s amazing what you’re doing for your kid and family.

Thank you
But really, I'm just doing my job. When it's your child or loved one you just do what you have to do.
