The comments by Dr. Birx tonight were really disturbing. Here's why:
Twitter

Tonight #DeborahBirx stated that models anticipating large-scale transmission of COVID-19 do not match reality on the ground. Our modeling (done by @StephenKissler based on work with @ctedijanto and @yhgrad and me) is one of the models she is talking about.

Based on what I can find out I will be receiving the standard payment. My question is, "Why?"
I am still working, and we seem to fall under the essential services category. A good percentage of US workers aren't as fortunate and those are the people who need the help. Quite frankly, twelve hundred bucks doesn't go far with somebody who lost their job and is trying to balance groceries, housing costs, and maintain their health insurance. Compare that to somebody like me, who could be faced with the tough decision of putting it toward a grapple, or maybe a Hudson sawmill. The older I get, the more I hate politics and the motives which drive the decisions that the rest of us have to live with.

As was once said "Government isn't the solution, it's the problem"

How many have been worried the deficit was out of Control even in the 1970's.

How will Our Kids- great great Grand Kids Ever Pay this off:confused3:

They won't. It can't be paid off in present value dollars.

That leaves only two solutions: Either it will be inflated away, or most likely, simply defaulted on at some point.

Hospital Donation Update

On behalf of all of us at Harbor Freight, I want to thank our customers and all of the amazing hospitals who requested donations of personal protective equipment (PPE). The number of requests we received was overwhelming: over 13,000 applications from hospitals and more than 43,000 email recommendations from customers. I only wish we had enough PPE for every one of these hospitals and all of their courageous medical professionals caring for COVID-19 patients under the most difficult circumstances.

The immediate need for PPE is beyond alarming. We hope manufacturers, suppliers and other businesses across the country with the ability to donate PPE will do whatever it takes to help.

Over the next several days, we will be shipping more than 44 million pairs of nitrile gloves and hundreds of thousands of masks and face shields to hospitals in over 1,000 communities that our stores serve.

We are deeply grateful for the enormous efforts of those caring for those inflicted with COVID-19 and for everyone fighting to limit its spread. The days ahead will be challenging, but together we will get through this fight.
With gratitude and best wishes for your health and safety,

Just reported on the Austin news:
Of the 140 cases in central Texas only 5 require hospitalization.

Texas has canceled elective surgeries and that as resulted in opening an extra 3,000 beds.

81% of the cases reported have mild symptoms.

So in other words, 81% don't require hospitalization.
