Corona Virus, How Has It Affected Your Area So Far?

People acting like they are immune after pulling through are stupid. This virus isn't acting like chicken pox or any other one and done virus. Your body will have built up anti-bodies against covid-19 but that doesn't mean you are immune forever. Still need to take the proper precautions that everyone else is or isn't taking.

Ugh. Look at this mother *** "the president" getting a second Covid test when we can't even get a first test.

I feel like it's pretty clear. If you didn't file 2018 taxes or file 2019 taxes - You don't get a dime. If you did, you do. (under 75k etc)

The problem with that system, is that anyone making minimum wage/part time/10-99/under the table/tip workers don't file and/or don't make enough to be required to file. THOSE people need the money, and won't get it.

You can get a letter from the social security office if you haven't filed your taxes in the last two years and still qualify.

The Internal Revenue Service posted a notice on its website this week that people who typically don’t file taxes would need to file a simple tax return to receive one of the payments. That would have included low-income taxpayers, senior citizens, Social Security recipients, some veterans and individuals with disabilities who are otherwise not required to file a tax return.

I feel like it's pretty clear. If you didn't file 2018 taxes or file 2019 taxes - You don't get a dime.

And if you have to do it that way, it may take up to six months.

It isn't clear for students with no income. My sister filed taxes for her mutual fund, thats all.

A lot of people getting money off the books, illegals or etc are not getting that check. Those are gonna be the people who need it the most too, shame on that stipulation. They need money too!

Six months is a long time with zero income

Six months IS a long time without income. Why again are they going to go six months at this point with no income?

It isn't without income, if you were on SS or similar you're still getting that. Your situation is literally unaffected.

The people who are screwed are the ones who were making money entirely off the books and not filing. Though, given they're including 2019 returns, is it possible they could file now and still be eligible?

The part you quoted was about SS though, and those people have their income regardless of what gets cancelled.

Could you do one for 2019 and get it? I'd be interesting in knowing for someone I know in that situation.

We just called our credit cards, they gave us like two months till June without the interest. Worth trying for anyone going thru any issues due to lack of work. Most require you call them for any kind of help, they won't automatically[\b].

In the UK in my town now people are starting to ignore the lockdown, far more people are out than previously since the lockdown started.

This now has enabled new government laws to be put into place, almost all shops are closed anyway but the few that are open have strict rules as to how many people can be in them at once. In smaller shops this is 2 people, in supermarkets this is 30 people. This means there are long queues outside of them, with 2 meter spacing between them (with staff enforcing this) that go on for huge distances (talking 30-40 minute wait to get into a shop).

When you get in, someone uses a infrared gun to check your temperature and if you have a high temperature for any reason..keeping in mind it's warm today too (fat people btfo?) you will be denied entry. No word on how you are supposed to get food if this is the case of course, since online shopping is also impossible now due to all delivery being booked to capacity.

Oh and when you do get in, there are limits being put on how much you can buy of specific items (cause stupid people could not control themselves) and also stock is rather limited of "non essential items". So you are being forced to make more trips to the supermarket over the week also.

Why do people even think that houses are a safe place for biological hazard?
