This weekend, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi wrote a letter to colleagues saying: "CARES 2 must go further... extending and strengthening unemployment benefits." Several GOP lawmakers, including Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., had tried to change the language in the $2 trillion-plus stimulus bill last month to remove any incentive for workers to leave their jobs in order to make more on unemployment. The effort failed.

Bro, we know you hate our President. We know he obviously heard about HydroxyC from doctors and we know he mentioned it at a presser. We also know the press & some Govs freaked out about it and we know they have since changed or changing their tunes. It is what it is. Move along and embrace the good news as we learn more about this killer and be thankful the Fed emergency-approved it for use as it appears to be saving lives.

Maybe people from China traveling to Europe in Nov-Dec...infecting Europeans and mutating to the 'European' strain, then Europeans traveling to NYC in Jan-Feb. Sneaky virus.

The epitome of entitlement...agreed - it's human nature to take the path of least resistance and that's why true socialism fails every time.

The Diamond Princess ship was disembarked Feb. 27. It's safe to draw a conclusion now. Just 1 sample of data that's encouraging.

More good news: All 3,711 passengers on the Diamond Princess cruise ship were tested, 712 tested positive, and of those, 331 (46 percent) have never shown outward symptoms, according to Japan’s health agency, which has also been cited by the CDC. Bad news for unknowing transmission, but: Non-symptomatic people can spread the disease, but, “we know that the virus is much more likely to spread from person to person if the infected one is showing symptoms,”

Based on some of the advances in vaccine development using CRISPR tech, I'm thinking we'll see better & quicker responses to pandemics in the future. There are many good things that will inevitably result from this terrible situation. Maybe we'll get ahead of them, even.

Anyone have stats to show how many untested samples there are left? You can't take these numbers at face value unless you know how many real time new cases there are (vs backlog cases).

As long as this thing doesn't mutate a ton the vaccine, when developed, will take care of it for many, many years w/boosters - similar to MMR, Tdap, etc. That's the hope and a good - case scenario.

In light of the current virus situation, it's smart to both support the American people directly via checks and unemployment boosters, as well as providing incentives to both small and large corporations to keep their employees by supplementing a percentage of their income. It takes a large amount of cash ($500B+) to do this - in order to keep things as close to normal as possible when this virus is behind us. Even the Democrats will support this...all the other stuff is just partisan fluff and not necessary at this time. I think there should've been a part 1 and part 2 with the partisan fluff in part 2.

So it's very likely the true mortality rate for cancers are too high then. Similarly, until there is broad based testing for Covid 19 we won't know the true mortality rate. Just read your edits, makes sense.
