A friend of mine got it pretty bad in March for 2 weeks and just completed one of the hardest hikes in the northeast with no effects to his lungs. Some good news for the day.

I believe NY is at 50% capacity as of 2 weeks ago. I'm not sure if we will see the full effects for a little bit of that. Gyms, movie theatres, concerts, and sporting events are still not happening. Everything else is going and bars and restaurants are packed outside. The real test is when the temperatures start cooling down in 1-2 months. I think we have a tough time here in winter if kids go back to school especially.

Everything has been opened for awhile here in New York. Indoor dining has been open with no spikes. I think it has to do with mask wearing here. It's extemely rare to see someone not use one. I went to a restaurant yesterday and it was so organized. 6 feet apart to order, everyone wearing a mask inside and outside. Even going for a walk along the water people were conscious to stay 6 feet apart walking by.

My bad, didn't see. I deleted it. It would explain quite a bit in how places are nearly fully open in hard hit states for 2 months without an increase in cases. One could conclude that it is making its way across the country.

Kodak was up 500% today. Anyone day trading?

I think what he meant was that only around 20% of people actually got furloughed/laid off and collected Unemployment. The rest of us continued to work and not much has changed as of yet. We have actually received more money with the $1200 checks. Many people including me had designated funds set aside for vacations. Mine were New Zealand/Norway this year. I am using that money to make home improvements instead. Many others are likely doing the same.

His tenants are too lazy to do something like this. He gave them this paperwork and nothing has come of it yet.

My dads tenants haven't paid rent since March. He is struggling. Something needs to be done to help out.

You should see the stock buybacks and ceo bonuses from the 2008 buyouts. We personally paid for millions of bonuses for failed greedy management teams in sub prime lending. Completely mind blowing how that is legal.

I am the same way, but the American economy only does so well because the majority spend way beyond their means. My only debt is a 2.75% mortgage payment.

This is true if you include fast food workers/restaurants (tip based). Tip based industries never claim their full tips so that is highly subjective. Waitresses make insane money around here with tips+wage. But UI is calculated based on claimed income. Fast food never closed, and restaurants were only closed for 1-2 months depending on what state.

I need to move to Mass. I know the cost of living there is very high. But with dependents they were making $1834 a week. (95K annual) $823 (Individual) up to $1,234 (w/dependents)

"Almost everyone out of a job since this started is being paid more than the were while working. Most, not all." Incorrect.

My wife is unable to go back to work for awhile as foreclosures are delayed until at least Aug 19th in New York State and likely longer. Really hoping they extend the UI benefits even if they slash the $600 in half. Her law firm of 200 people with offices in New York, Long Island, and Florida are still closed. Most of these employees are making far less on UI then they were working at the firm.

That's pretty sad if that's the case. Michigan MAX UI per week is $362. Not everyone gets the maximum amount. This was a temporary 4 month relief, it wasn't meant to last forever and it isn't. Add in the $600 and you're at 962 per week * 52 and thats 50k a year. The average US salary is According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the median wage for workers in the United States in the first quarter of 2020 was $957 per week or $49,764 per year. So your notion is simply incorrect. 50k a year isn't even that good in my poor little city of Buffalo. https://www.savingtoinvest.com/maximum-weekly-unemployment-benefits-by-state/

Well they didn't plan well enough if they're canceling 2 games already. The NHL just tested everyone with zero cases in their bubble.

Pretty shocking the MLB didn't plan for this. Literally inevitable that something like this was going to happen. The bubbles with NHL and NBA have a chance but MLB and NFL, no chance the season finishes. Really sucks as the Bills have the best team its had since the Kelly years and more importantly Brady is gone.

Hospitalizations are back to where they were during the worst part of the pandemic. I expect quite a few weeks of days with 1k+ deaths for August. These numbers will likely skyrocket as we get into fall/winter and schools start. https://covidtracking.com/data/charts/us-currently-hospitalized

Not sure if you guys saw this in Portland a tear gas tornado. This has to be a first.

I met with the chemo doctor a few weeks ago and he knew nothing about what my moms treatment was last year. It was as if he looked at an MRI a minute before walking into the office. He actually asked her what chemo treatment she had last year, like my mom is going to remember that... Not to mention them saying in August of 2019 that there is less than a 2% chance of the cancer coming back. Here we are in June 2020 and now the cancer is back worse then ever and never going away. It's stage 4 nasopharyngeal cancer. They developed a new treatment plan a few weeks ago. She received chemo a few weeks and today was a scheduled follow up, now 3 days ago a random extra chemo session was added to her schedule and portal online today. There is no communication or unity between the departments.

Has anyone else here had any bad experiences with Roswell? My moms cancer is back and I think they're doing a terrible job with her. Any other places to go around the area?
