I've seen some that some younger children were in the hospital and did a teen die? I think a teen died...or he's critical. I can try to find a link...are we allowed to post links here?Sorry to hear about your husband.
I think the bill is trying to prevent giving people too much money, who don’t earn that amount anyway.. something like that could very well have such people staying on unemployment too long.
I had to quote your section above.. what new reports are you talking about?

Are you thinking of the minor under 18 that died in Cali?
Yes. Whether people read them or see the links as news or fake news according to personal political bias is another story.
probably! I just know I've heard of some cases under 18 who have been seriously affected

Q
What if 1/1000 need ICU care but there are beds for only 1 in 2000 people.
And are all these millions of people who have Covid guaranteed to never get sick from it? Is the incubation period short, long or unpredictable? Are asymptomatic carriers contagious and therefore dangerous to others? For example to the 1/2 of the population who do not have it.
Not trying to squelch your hope or optimism, but a lot of caution is indicated.

Wanted to share with parents here.
Looking at last week, and the weekend.. was absolutely disgusting to me. I have never seen (nor allowed) this much time on the Switch since we’ve owned the device (shortly after it first released).
I put a stop to it by coming up with daily entertainment choices. Chalk drawing on driveway, LEGO creations, home science experiments, etc etc.. on top of workouts and sports practice.. here’s where we are this week-
Much better. He’s back to a 1 hour limit either way though. I can’t see those crazy amounts again.

Thankfully, the knuckleheads from the thread's early days are no longer here. Well, for the most part. Sadly, knuckleheads like me still remain (for now). Also, let's lift a glass to the knuckleheads who joined us more recently.

I am not saying this to be a smartass but as a physician. At this point paying attention to the number of infected is not the most important part, it's paying attention to how many have died. That will be the indicator of how well your health systems are working to fight this.
Yeah! I'm getting worried that they won't pay their employees like universal will be til at least the 19th.

Meanwhile in dear old England...the two kids in the house that backs on to my garden have been spending 2 hours poer day on a trampoline in their yard. They will have thigh muscles like professional football players by the end of the lock-down. Unfortunately, the springs are somewhat rusty after the winter so there is a a constant repetitive creak that is like water torture to the rest of the neighborhood. My son, who lacks patience, is threatening to creep through the hedge with a sharp knife at dead of night. I'm much more passive aggressive so have contemplated ordering a lubricant over Amazon and having it delivered to their address.
On a more positive home schooling front, I can at least report that, having spent the first day running around the garden pretending to be a fire engine ("ner nah, ner nah etc", the five year old next door has progressed to spelling and has been repeatedly heard saying "N O spells No" when her father gives her an instruction to calm down.

I think details are getting lost in this 'young' vs 'old' thing...
Young could always get it and be carriers.. it's young people are in better to fight off the disease if they got sick.
But people are mucking this up and acting like "Young people don't get it..." -- They still can get the virus... that's not new

Just to add some perspective (partly because I’m starting to somewhat freak out) to help some folks understand where many of us are coming from, I for instance work on a base/commission split. What I do for a living isn’t important because what matters is that nobody is buying anything right now. All projects are on hold and therefore, nearly zero revenue. I’m extremely grateful and thankful for having a job (for now) but in my 15 years in this type of role there has never once been a time of zero revenue in my territory. Therefore, I’m making squat right now. Guess what??? My bills didn’t go down. My four kids still need to eat. Car payment and mortgage still need to be paid. It sucks. I get it. But it doesn’t change the fact that just because I made too much last year to qualify shouldn’t equate to not needing help now. Someone somewhere else already commented that folks like us should have been prepared. Guess what.... we were! And it’s running us dry. VERY quickly I might add. So many of my close friends, neighbors and family are dealing with unemployment and I want them to have the help as well. I just have this feeling that it’s going to be impossible to do this in a fair way and then we’re made to feel like evil selfish people for feeling that way. Sorry for venting but we all have different stories and scenarios at play.

We have a switch and I had no idea you could do limits. But I will say you are much better than me lol. Between two kids screen time is out the window but we also have a large yard to play in so....I'm impressed with your commitment to the screen time cause and I salute you!!

Your situation is exactly why the money should go to everyone first and then be clawed back based on 2020 earnings when we file tax returns. That was the proposal at one point but didn‘t make the current bill.

Definitely agree with that. Young people can get it. But they can fight it better and generally don't have such severe symptoms. They can get it, and they can spread it.
