I don't have any doubt that Biden would be for assistance to those hurt by the lockdown. Would the senate? Would Mitch even bring it to the floor? Doubtful. States can't spend like the fed can, so unfortunately there's not a lot the state can do on their own.

That's the fundamental defect at the heart of the Trump administration's response to this. (And I use 'response' in the loosest possible terms here) You can't just foist all this downwards on the states and lower jurisdictions.

I seem to remember the Senate passing a $3 Trillion bill and me getting a check for $3k back in the Spring, so I am not sure why Mitt wouldn't do it again. They had one ready to go in October and as recent as two weeks ago Mitt said he would.

Mitch has said a lot of things and not done them...
Yes, there was one stimulus to help with the initial lockdowns. Now there's another lockdown coming. We'll see how it plays out.

It's more than just lockdowns. With limitations in general, people are working fewer hours, and unemployment is still very high. Congress has been sitting on their hands, as usual, for months.

Update to earlier question. My wife watches a teacher's kid who is about 1.5 years old. The mom/teacher has a student teacher in her class that tested positive yesterday, but the parent hasn't been around her for 8 days. School district is asking her to quarantine now. Should my wife still be watching her kid?

Yup. Everything is going to slow down. You either help people through it, and pay the price later (hopefully when things are better), or you don't help people through it and pay now. Potentially permanently.It's more than just lockdowns. With limitations in general, people are working fewer hours, and unemployment is still very high.

It depends on your comfort level really. If that person wasn't around her for 8 days, she's at the tail end of the incubation period, with most people showing symptoms after 4 days. I don't know how much the chances go down after 4 days, but I know it's fairly significant drop after a week. My guess is you'd be fine. I would probably play it super safe just because that's my personality but I don't think you'd be taking a huge risk there.Update to earlier question.

And she wouldn't be watching her again technically until day 12 besides having her this entire time up to today anyway soIt depends on your comfort level really.

Those next 2 days are right before Thanksgiving break and the sad reality is we need any extra cash we can get at this point. I'm buying way too many movie posters hahaIn that case, I'd be pretty confident that you're adding very little additional risk. At that point, though, why not give it another two days so you can be 100%?

Vaccine won't be a magic bullet for awhile but will be great, still have to wear masks and social distance. What would help a ton is to pay Americans to stay home like other countries.Otherwise people are still going to be out and about. Kids in daycare, school, etc.

Supermarkets are most common place to catch Covid, new data reveals
https://www.the-sun.com/news/1826530/su ... tch-covid/
The above article is linked on Drudge today, but I think it has serious flaws. The article cites data from the UK's NHS Test and Trace App and says that "The data found that the most common setting for people testing positive had been the supermarket." But that doesn't mean that people caught Covid at the supermarket, and it's not surprising that the most common setting would be the supermarket because just about everyone at some point needs to go buy food. Under the same logic, because probably 100% of the people who test positive sleep in a bed, then most people must catch Covid in bed.

Remdesvir bad again.
COVID-19
Neato. This would be another potential explanation for why cases in counties like China, Japan, South Korea, and Taiwan are low compared to Europe and North and South America. I mean, I follow English-language Japanese news sources, and I know that the Japanese government's response to Covid hasn't been all that great. Yes, people in Japan are more likely to wear masks, but by all rights Covid should have burned through Tokyo even worse than New York City. The whole freaking city is millions of people crammed together like sardines in a can. But even though cases are climbing over there, their case and fatality numbers remain quite low.
