I wouldn't use the stimulus calculator on Kiplinger. Tell them your annual income ... and your sure to see a lot of junk ads 'selected just for you'.

The printing presses are rolling money out like crazy and everyone wants their piece of the pie. Uhoh...is that socialism?

I've wondered when is it worth putting the economy at risk by shutting everything down? That is, how many lives can be written off as just bad luck/wrong place, wrong time? Certainly people die every day for many reasons, and while we try to minimize risk, we don't ban automobile traffic because people die in cars.

I don't know the answer, and would love to hear others perspective on this.

So far, this is what I've come up with. It becomes a problem when it is a significant portion of the daily deaths that would occur otherwise.

However, even that has to be clarified based on region, as hotspots crop up. I looked up NY State mortality statistics and was surprised to find, on average, 404 people die a day. It's been consistent for years.

NY is now having about 150 (I'm not sure of the exact number) deaths per day from COVID-19, and it is continuing to climb. That is problematic for me, and points to a significant crises on the horizon.

Maybe some other areas will get away with fewer mortalities, but I worry that while they appear to be in the clear, that situation will change dramatically in the next few weeks.

Reminds me of this movie quote:

Few days ago, I posted a predictive article from ZeroHedge where the writer looked at death total doubling about every 3 days.

Edit.....link won't copy

and this chart:

The article predicted 800 total on March 26th, and 12,800 on April 7th. To date, 6pm 3/26, the author's figures are off, unfortunately to the high side. Total today is 1100 (and will likely be revised upward tomorrow sometime on the chart), so his figures, so far, were conservative. April 7 is 12 days out. I'll post again then.

Don't know how Kiplinger could do that? :confused3: But you're right, it may be better just to use the IRS link

Well since he is in the Hospital now with the virus, pretty darn stupid.

It is better to either get it early or very late not at the top of the curve where medical treatment may not be available. We are not at the top of the curve yet and the commode licker is getting medical treatment.

Yes, he is young and brainless. He is likely to survive. AND he will likely reproduce.
