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

well 90% of the poll think that the leadership is doing a good job. I think the timing was best for us and also, compared to most of the world, we have done much better than most countries.

I hear so many lies and mistruths and misquotes that I have to turn off the tv. Its horrible. And each state has their " at home quarantine rules'' and "social space" timing by their governor.

I don't care who's media you listen to but please go to the top for information .. Like Dr. Fauci. All in this country have been doing the best they can and bending over backwards to deal with this matter having never experienced this ever. Dr, Fauci and team supply the facts. But a Leader needs to take that into major consideration AND mesh a lot of other decisions like money, economy, getting money to unemployed, try to keep big business and small keep afloat so people have a job to go back to. and all concerning America. Sometimes this is mis-quoted as "the pres. contradicts Dr. Fauci". Not true. The pres has to take a lot of stuff into consideration .

Please verifywhat you hear from the media with what the top people are actually saying.

I'm not even hearing anything from the media because I haven't even been watching it or reading it.

I read some of it, but it's usually on the virus itself not the whole political stuff that's going on.

I just want to know how many people are infected, how many people have died, how people are surviving, and how our country is going to prevent it from overflowing the hospitals.

Heating pad set to low without the automatic shut off and a sunny window will work. Turn off at night, on during the day.

Thanks! I’ll have to try that! Would it have to be waterproof though?

Just make a little tray with some foil to catch water or use a plate or a plant saucer.

You still have some time to file 2019, our fearless leader hasn't sign the "BILL" yet. (Haha, yes, it'll be a Big Bill for our children) Just like the Bush stimulus. Hubby and I haven't filed yet, in 2017 he took some $$ out of his 401K so we could put ALL New Windows in our 65yr old house. 2018 taxes are 'Inflated' compared to our normal income. I'm working on our taxes now

The reason the bill was held up was because one politician decided they needed to include a lot of other unrelated requests. Like 25 million to a museum, 25mil to the Kennedy center and money for PBS, and stopping production of oil in this country (the new green deal) and millions for other pet projects. The senate kept sending it back to ask the Congress to remove all that does not have to do with virus/people/ checks.

When they finally got a lot of unrelated stuff removed (not all) , it was okay'd. This was stated by Senators that would be or not signing the bill . Senators and Pres and other top politicians have been transparent with that they do or not do. It's a shame that this bill needed to be held up by removing all the non-covid19 that was added to this bill that was specifically for US and the economy r/t us. Do not think that one person is making these decisions. There is many people who have input into his daily briefings.
