10% is federal 2.5% State..

It's actually more"health sharing" then health insurance even though it does count as health insurance for tax purposes.. That's why it's cheaper with no deductable..

The government has helped me a lot during these trying times between the stimulus check and the extra$600 in unemployment plus 13 week extension..It's hard for me to expect much more, I even think that's over kill lol 1 more lump sum stimulus check wouldn't surprise me though.. I was able to find a decent quote for private health insurance, $232 a month . Free yearly wellness check $25 doctor visit $50 specialist $75 hospital 80% coverage on medication, generic or named brand.. Kicks in may 15, so that makes me feel a little better about things..lol

A bill to provide monthly payments of $2,000 to Americans within a certain age and income bracket, proposed by Rep. Tim Ryan, D-Ohio., and Rep.

I thought this was an interesting article, especially considering I just started drinking kefir Milk which is amazing by the way..I have gerd and have been having dijestive issues for weeks due to my anxiety... No one knows exactly why some patients are affected more than others, but a new study from China (that has not yet been peer-reviewed) makes a provocative assertion: the health of the gut microbiome may predict the severity of the disease. The healthier the gut, the better the outcome. That may be something to cheer about, because you can improve your microbiome in a matter of days just by changing your diet. It could save your life. Scientists have started to realize that many of the chronic diseases of modern life are significantly associated with systemic inflammation and gut dysbiosis—a loose term that implies an unbalanced, unhealthy gut microbiome. Many of these inflammatory diseases, including diabetes, heart disease, and hypertension, are also associated with COVID-19 complications. There is a psychological angle to this as well, due to the two-way nature of the gut-brain axis. The state of your microbiome can affect your disposition: the microbes that contribute to a good mood are called psychobiotics. But nature is nothing if not convoluted, and your mood can also affect your microbiome. The implication is that anxiety and depression may add to the complications of a COVID-19 infection

The sudden disappearance of sports will erase at least $12 billion in revenue and hundreds of thousands of jobs, an economic catastrophe that will more than double if the college football and NFL schedules are wiped out this fall by the coronavirus pandemic, an analysis conducted for ESPN shows. The meltdown is a fraction of the crisis spreading across the country, but it is nonetheless historic, touching every sector of the $100 billion United States sports industry. Continue reading

Just as I was getting ready to post a sports article lol MLB is discussing a potential plan to start the season in late June and allow teams to play at their home ballparks with realigned divisions, according to USA Today's Bob Nightengale. The proposed plan involves realigning MLB into three divisions based on teams' locations rather than the National and American Leagues. The new divisions would help reduce travel, and teams would play with no fans in attendance. Nightengale reports the new plan is "pending approval of medical experts and providing that COVID-19 testing is available to the public." It would eliminate the need for players to be in isolation, although it remains unknown if teams would open the season in Arizona, Texas and Florida for a few weeks. MLB could potentially have a 100-game regular season before holding the playoffs with an expanded format. According to Nightengale, players are expected to have 18 to 21 days to train at teams' Arizona or Florida spring training sites before starting the season. Here's a look at the reported possible realigned divisions: EAST: Baltimore Orioles Boston Red Sox Miami Marlins New York Mets New York Yankees Philadelphia Phillies Pittsburgh Pirates Tampa Bay Rays Toronto Blue Jays Washington Nationals WEST: Arizona Diamondbacks Colorado Rockies Los Angeles Angels Los Angeles Dodgers Houston Astros Oakland Athletics San Diego Padres San Francisco Giants Seattle Mariners Texas Rangers CENTRAL: Atlanta Braves Chicago Cubs Chicago White Sox Cincinnati Reds Cleveland Indians Detroit Tigers Kansas City Royals St. Louis Cardinals Milwaukee Brewers Minnesota Twins There are more than one million confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States, with nearly 60,000 deaths. Worldwide, more than 215,000 people have died of the disease.

I got a letter from the IRS, scared the shit out of me lmao.. Good thing it was just letting me know my stimulus check was deposited, you guys should be getting one soon if you haven't already lol

The Little League World Series will not be played this year for the first time since the organization began because of the coronavirus pandemic. Little League International, which announced the move Thursday, also canceled regional tournaments but said the events would return in 2021. The Little League World Series has been played each year since the first tournament in 1947. "After a thorough assessment of the impact the devastating COVID-19 pandemic has had on 6,500 community-based Little League programs in 84 countries and based upon the direction of governmental and public health authorities, and in consultation with medical professionals and our Board of Directors, Little League International has made the difficult and disappointing decision to cancel its seven World Series tournaments and their respective regional qualifying events," the organization said in a statement.

Nice to see some businesses still hanging in there or thriving...The old lady says business at RaC has been up as well.. PULASKI, N.Y. — A small Oswego County business that makes air purifiers is seeing record demand for it its product on the frontlines of the coronavirus pandemic. The Healthway Family of Brands is a small family-run company that up until two months ago employed less than 30 people. However, thanks to their patented air purification technology, business has been booming. The company’s air purifiers have been scientifically proven to be 40x more efficient than traditional air purifiers in removing ultrafine particles, including viruses, from the air. Company president Vinny Lobdell says since the COVID-19 pandemic broke out, demand for the company's air purifiers has skyrocketed. "The impact to our business has been considerable. We're probably producing ten times the amount of product compared to this time last year. So just understanding the significant demand globally it has really impacted our business,” Lobdell says. Locally, National Grid and Crouse Hospital are both using Healthway’s air purifiers. Lobdell says it is an honor to have a product that is made in Pulaski being used locally and around the globe to help combat the coronavirus. "Our company here is just really proud of the fact that our solutions are being trusted to use worldwide on the frontlines,” he says. The company is now expanding its operations in Pulaski. Just this past week, it purchased an additional 10,000 square foot building in the area and plans are in the works to build a brand new 20,000 square foot facility in the next few months

Obviously not surprising.. Derek Jeter and the other members of the 2020 Baseball Hall of Fame class will have to wait another year before taking the stage in Cooperstown. The National Baseball Hall of Fame and Museum announced Wednesday that its board of directors voted unanimously to cancel the 2020 Hall of Fame induction ceremony and the surrounding events scheduled for July 24-27 due to health and safety concerns associated with the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the 2020 class will now be honored alongside the 2021 class next July.

People around here are enjoying life and making the best of It lol BBQ, bon fires, ATV riding, fishing, enjoying the scenery, I see more people than ever walking, biking etc.. Litterly every place in Pulaski is still open, just reduced hours or drive thru/take out instead of dining, so be it lol

No New cases to report in Oswego county but unfortunately 1 new death.. 61 positives 1420 negatives 3 deaths

Just like what's the odds Redfield catches a case? Pretty much zilch, nada, zero lol Population density of 6 people per mile lol Heck I'm pretty surprised towns like Orwell and Boylston have a confirmed positive..

Yeah if you add up the tri counties of Oswego, Jefferson, Lewis you have about 130 cases with a population of near 260k..To put that in perspective my in-laws down in CNJ have over 150 confirmed cases with a population of 34k..Once again it's all about population density and being much more spread out..

OSWEGO — The number of COVID-19 cases in Oswego County continues to increase, but the rate of increase has slowed dramatically in recent weeks as the number of people tested remains steady, according to county reports. Statewide more than 730,000 individuals have been tested for the coronavirus, with more than 271,000 confirmed cases of COVID-19. The number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus in Oswego County has increased from 53 to 58 in the last week, after increasing from 42 to 53 the previous week. More than 540 individuals in Oswego County have been tested for COVID-19 in the last two weeks, with the total number of tests increasing from 886 on April 10, to 1,160 on April 17 and reaching 1,430 on Friday. Oswego County leaders say the social distancing measures residents have put into practice, along with health officials’ efforts to isolate infected individuals and track down known contacts, are working. “As a county, we are continuing to make headway in our fight against coronavirus,” Oswego County Legislature Chairman James Weatherup, R-Central Square, said Friday. “Our number of positive cases has remained relatively low compared to some of our neighbors, and our rate of new cases has slowed dramatically.” More than 90 percent of the county residents tested return negative results, he said. “I think so far, with the community’s help, we’ve flattened the curve,” Oswego County Public Health Director Jiancheng Huang said Friday, adding the main goal was to maintain and preserve the health care and first responder workforce. Stay at home orders in the city of Oswego and countywide voluntary travel restrictions put in place in early April seemingly are working to stop the spread of the virus. Local officials have continually thanked residents for their patience and cooperation. Huang, however, cautioned community members have not gained enough exposure to the virus to gain “so-called herd immunity” and knowing when a second wave might come is elusive. “Down the road, honestly, we don’t know when a second peak will come,” Huang said. “So we are still closely monitoring the disease and we are working with our partners in health care, hospitals, nursing homes and long-term care.” Huang acknowledged the current stay-at-home orders cannot remain in place forever, noting humans are “a social animal,” but in lieu of a vaccine or pharmacological solution it’s the best approach we have. He said a gradual, phased approach to resuming economic activities will be needed while officials continue monitoring the situation. County health officials are identifying cases via testing and tracking down known contacts, Huang said, adding the county is prepared to continue that work as long as necessary. “The purpose is to protect our residents and protect our communities, because a vaccine is still far away,” he said. Cases of COVID-19 have been identified in 19 of the 24 reporting areas in Oswego County, which include the towns and cities. County officials have confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the cities of Fulton and Oswego and the towns of Boylston, Constantia, Granby, Hastings, Mexico, Minetto, New Haven, Orwell, Oswego, Palermo, Richland, Sandy Creek, Schroeppel, Scriba, Volney, West Monroe and Williamstown. Weatherup has continually urged residents to avoid public places and groups of people as much as possible during the coronavirus outbreak. Forty-six of the 58 individuals who have tested positive for COVID-19 in Oswego County have recovered, according to county officials, who say there are 10 active positive cases in the county. Two county residents have died due to coronavirus-related complications. Symptoms of COVID-19 include fever, cough, difficulty breathing, gastrointestinal illness and new loss of taste or smell.
