I'm going along with both rounds one and probable upcoming Round Two of the Coronavirus checks from the Feds. I do NOT support giving the unemployed an additional six hundred bucks a week. That's ridiculous.
As of today, nearly 39 million Americans have filed, or are ON unemployment. The approximate total work force in America is 165 million people. You do the math. Most people think that the Great Depression began in late October, 1929 with the stock market collapse. But the truth is no one really noticed much difference to anything (except rich people and stockholders) for a few months. It wasn't until late spring of 1930 when plants really began closing and layoffs went crazy. We reached bottom in May 1931.
At that time, about 30% of people were out of work, with a slightly lower rate in cities. In some rural areas, it was hitting about 50%. We are not very far from some of those numbers now.
The REAL question is whether or not companies will put people back to work in huge numbers AFTER the lockdowns end, or if they will even be able to do so. Small biz accounts for 47% of employment in the USA, and many of them have already gone under, with many more hanging on by a thread. (< 500 employees) Some larger corporations have already filed for bankruptcy. If they can't get a handle on things post-lockdown, things are going to get very bad. How bad? We just hope it doesn't end up like the video below, which is a scene from the movie, The Grapes of Wrath. One thing about this picture is that no matter how bad off you think YOU are, other people are worse off than you. Like the Joads.

A freind gets a extra 600 a week , I dont understand why ,
Heads up—the wife got notification from HR that someone has applied for unemployment using her info. She wouldn't have applied for it, as we're doing ok. Apparently, that's the scam. They're targeting high-earners who they assume wouldn't apply for it. HR said 4 others in the organization have been hit as well.

I call baloney on this study, I haven't caught the bug yetThank goodness for Experts:
Drinking alcohol won’t protect you against COVID-19, experts say
Bethesda, MD — Although alcohol is a key ingredient in hand sanitizers that can help kill the coronavirus, alcoholic drinks don’t have the same effect and may actually hinder your immune system’s response to COVID-19, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism is cautioning consumers.www.safetyandhealthmagazine.com
An article in Forbes magazine: The COVID-19 Pandemic Exposes The Harm Of Denying Scientific Facts, by Dr. Ethan Siegel, Ph.d. (Sad that when this piece was written in April, the death toll in this country was less than half than it is now. )
We won't know until it's over or maybe ever?Facts are a fickle thing.
What are the facts in COVID ?
- Masks Work, or Do Not Work?
- How Does it pass - Airborne or just droplets?
- How long does it last on surfaces?
etc. etc. etc.
In most medical related issues, we have best known treatment, prevention. But Facts should be un-changing. Water boils at 100 degrees given Standard Temperature and Pressure.
Best practice don't smoke. But you can't say for 100% certainty that if you do smoke you will die from it, much less get cancer or emphysema.
One of the same reasons for the spikes in Marion County. Especially in the Woodburn area...
