TugHillMatt Posted April 10, 2020 Share Posted April 10, 2020 Something I find interesting in those maps is that the concentration of air pollutants in parts of Upstate NY (along Lake shorelines and scattered around the 'Dacks) is actually a bit higher this year than the average of those other years. Perhaps if those years were taken individually we could have an even better comparison, as it probably would look similar to a couple of those years. Maybe it's an increase from people going to their summer homes and all the parks? I am intrigued as to what the causes are of these slight increases.

TugHillMatt Posted April 11, 2020 Share Posted April 11, 2020 Whewie! It's like Oprah..."You get money! You get money! Everyone gets MONAAAAAY!" I am not going to get into the debate of who gets or 'deserves" money (Although our essential employees are top of that list)....but all this money is coming from one place and going to another. Money is never free. The more and more I read/hear about increasing amounts of money being passed out, the more I cringe on the inside. It's going to be such a tight time of being careful with money...but at the same time we need it to keep flowing...not sit on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My wife and I were having a discussion back in March about whether this would stay in the cells and reactivate. I know they had been saying that this mutates slowly, but we were also wondering about the possibility of a mutation and getting infected again...even if it's just a slight change. So many questions: Reactivation? Reinfection? Lack of immunity? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see that coming from the company itself but the government paying 25k to everyone who is still working is kind of crazy. Who is included and who is not? Me and you are still working. I still directly deal with customers each day. Our phones have been off the hook in regards to this PPP program (payroll protection program). It seems the government dedicated 350 million to it and almost all the money is gone already. There is disconnect between the government and the big banks in regards to how this gets distributed. Are we going to pay the bagger at the grocery store a $25k bonus? If so, I'm going to go apply at Tops tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 The government is trying to give incentive to actually work lol No one is getting off unemployment to work for 11.80 an hour lol Many retailers are hiring right now...But no one is applying lol It's also 13 an hour up to 25k for the year but the majority of retail is Part time..Tops is union, they give like 16-24 hours a week, at least around here..

wolfie09 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 Not every state has started handing out the extra stimulus checks, actually most haven't lol NY was the first state to roll it out... Some states like Florida don't even have the federal funding yet... Other delays, at least for the $600 in extra weekly benefits as part of the federal stimulus package known as the CARES Act, have been out of the state’s hands. That money hasn’t been given to Florida or other states yet to even administer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I’d love $50k for my wife and I were basically just printing money at this point.

wolfie09 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 What a tool the Florida governor is .. I guess students will teach themselves.. He's also wrong that no one under the age of 25 had died.. If it’s safe, we want kids to be in school. ... Even if it’s for a couple of weeks, we think there would be value in that," he continued. CNN reported that DeSantis added that he didn't think anyone under 25 had died of the virus. "This particular pandemic is one where, I don't think nationwide there's been a single fatality under 25. For whatever reason it just doesn't seem to threaten, you know, kids," DeSantis said. "And we lose in Florida between five and 10 kids a year for the flu. This one, for whatever reason, much more dangerous if you're 65 and plus than the flu, no doubt about that. If you're younger, it just hasn't had an impact, so that should factor into how we're viewing this. I think the data on that has been 100 percent consistent," he continued. "I've not seen any deviation on that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wolfie09 Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 An investigation by The Washington Post of national cases found nine instances in which COVID-19 was blamed for the deaths of people under the age of 20. The risk appears to rise with every decade of age,” the Post reported on Wednesday, citing 45 deaths among people in their 20s, at least 190 deaths among people in their 30s and at least 413 deaths among people in their 40s.
