Although I'm fine financially, I decided to file for PUA (pandemic unemployment insurance) like most of my gigging musician friends. I didn't have to do much, not even send in tax forms. They just sent me a debit card with almost 8 grand on it, and they're paying me $200 per week on top of that. This is letting me stack more of my cash from the weed biz, which is doing swimmingly. Thanks, Obama!

You won't find anyone in a store without a mask where I'm at.
Same here. You can't go into a store in Chicago without a mask, they simply won't let you in. The mayor is keeping our lakefront and many major gathering places closed. This is major reason we're doing much better with our covid numbers. I miss these areas of the city, but saving lives is the way to go...

We're one of the Green states with infections going down. The governor and the Dept of Health ordered masks in public places months ago. That and other mitigation efforts like shutting down schools for the year and non essential businesses for a couple months seemed to have worked.

So what has happened since?

Giant Eagle has 32 lawsuits against them for simply following state dept. of health orders and making people wear masks. Which guidance originally came from the Dr. Fauci and the feds.

And some idiot state rep. is filing articles of impeachment against the governor for closing down businesses and for "Orwellian overreach" whatever the fuck that's supposed to mean.

This is one fucking divided country of fools who managed to politicize a disease and the mitigation efforts.

Insanity apparently rules. The doctors say to wear masks. Certain news affiliates attack the doctors. All hell will be breaking loose soon.

I was looking forward to a short baseball season for diversion and now a bunch of players in late spring training tested positive in Florida and Arizona.

Surprise, surprise.

We have a long way to go with resistance on every corner.
If natural selection works as I understand it, there may be a significant shift in the populace from red to blue over the next 18 months...

I claimed back on the day it opened, and within 2 weeks they had retroactively paid me $4800...No complaints here. I hope they extend it in some form or another. I bought a Volvo, and stacked another $4500 in the bank so far... three more payments of $1500 before it ends, but man, what a ride.

Then at the end of July, they're still giving me $170 a week till a week before Xmas...being a gig worker ain't all that bad.

It looks like they are going to extend the CARES act, which was supposed to end July 31st. I think it will run well into next year. Cheers...

You and anyone who qualifies should file for that.

I read that stimulus package for the common man came to 368 billion. So who got the rest of the 2 trillion plus?

Anybody we know? It's hard to say since the feds are refusing to list the recipients. Lol.

Fucking insanity.

Big covid-19 tax coming. Ass, gas or grass, nobody rides for free except the unlisted stimulus guys. They probably get a tax break :wall:.

No, since the repubs control the bill, there is a TON of opposition to continuing the $600 per week. I've been reading about the updates almost daily. I'm cautiously optimistic that it will be revised in some form, and we may receive a reduced weekly payment, like an additional $200-$300...


I mean, fingers crossed, but the republicans are doing as much as possible to squash the unemployment assistance as much as they can






What I meant to say is....No politics in the Covid Thread?

With so much of the Country closing again, I believe they will be forced to extend it. Especially with the BLM protests still going strong. I don't think they want those guys coming back to Donny's lawn to complain. How many times per year can they open that bunker??? /Politics. Sorry, Annie...

I sure hope you're right, but I'm pretty sure they won't extend the CARES act, and the HEROES act was dead on arrival. You know, those senate fuckers are taking another 2 week vacation starting July 3rd? They aren't even discussing it until they return. So when they DO finally get around to negotiating another stimulus act, it will be well into August at the earliest until we see the effect of it.

But I sure hope you're right.

Sorry Mama @curious2garden , #politics

I don't know that there is anyway we can separate this pandemic from the government's response. As long as we can keep the thread in TnT I'm happy, thanks guys.

Sacramento Sheriff, other capital agencies won’t enforce Newsom’s mask order.

As of Friday morning, the county had recorded 1,976 lab-positive cases of COVID-19 and 67 deaths. More than 475 cases and 22 deaths have occurred in unincorporated county areas or in Rancho Cordova, areas where Sheriff’s Office deputies have routine patrols.
Across California, more than 160,000 people have tested positive for COVID-19 and nearly 5,300 have died, state health officials said in a Thursday update.

Yeah masks are still mandatory here. If it's a big chain, I've witnessed the employees tell non-mask wearing motherfuckers that they got to leave. But been in my small gas station a couple times and think they're too timid to call out those people. Almost want to say, "sup pal, did you forget your mask? Or are you just one of them fucking dummies?"

Wearing fabric masks is better than nothing but far better is a reusable respirator. Everyone should care for their own health and not rely on another person's compliance with fabric masks. As long as we are going to be in this for awhile it's worth it to upgrade to comfortable and effective PPE. Remember to wear your eye protection!

There is a Limited Series on Netflix about covid.
3 episodes so far.
I enjoyed the 1st episode a while back and there are 3 episodes now.
The 3rd one about how to cope gave me a boost yesterday.
I'm at a point where the only way I'm going to get my type 2 diabetes back under control is by making some big changes.
Just being reminded in that episode 3 to do some deep breathing and then doing it during the episode helped.
I'm going to become more active in my garden having not done much for the last several months, soil mix is ready and I'll be growing some Blue Dream and Cannatonic a CBD strain. Harvest will be right before Halloween. I wonder what Halloween will be like this year? Can't give out candy. :(

The Banting diet is what medical science used for diabetics prior to insulin's arrival. It works terrifically for Type II diabetics too. If you want a good read I recommend Gary Taubes, "Good Calories, Bad Calories"

I now know a guy personally who survived covid-19 after 75 days in the hospital, being on a ventilator for 3 weeks and in an induced coma.

An old college buddy, I could tell you stories Lol.

He had 2 different cancers he beat before covid, all over the local media, the cancer treatments left him more vulnerable.

Haven't seen him in a couple decades, he has a listed land line so I'll try to reach out this week. Amazing story. (He looked a lot different in school)

That's the one thing I always here from the deniers… "I mean do you even personally know anyone who is sick? Well no, but I only know like 5 people. I don't know anyone that has personally gone to the moon either but…"
