A new analysis found that some states are getting significantly more funding to fight the coronavirus per case compared to other, harder-hit states. Florida is getting roughly $132,000 per case from the Trump Health Department while New York, the state with the largest outbreak, is only receiving roughly $12,000 per case.
HHS said Friday that it is granting hospitals and doctors money according to their historical share of revenue from the Medicare program for seniors and not according to the number of coronavirus patients they are treating.

Does this affect people buying meat? If so I would cut back on it.

China will be sending money/supplies/doctors to all corners to buy favor. If Trump is still in office then, we are going to lose so much ground globally.

IF this country does a hard lockdown for the next 2 months, id be for going out again starting in june or july
how long do you want to do this for?arent they saying its peaked already in some places?
Depends on what level of death are you comfortable with. Right now we're at 60,000 dead if social distancing continues through August. If you want 100-250K, let the states open things up earlier.IF this country does a hard lockdown for the next 2 months, id be for going out again starting in june or july
Granted, I don't know if social distancing equals lockdown in their model. I don't know what should and shouldn't be allowed for the public to do at that point. Definitely not allowing groups bigger than 10. So no sit down eating, concerts, sports, church, etc.
Really what is there that you'd want to do?
