    “I watched a YouTube video from a link I found on a random Facebook post that my brothers friends sisters cousin shared. My credentials are for real.”

    It’s actually sad when looking at Facebook how prevalent that type of stuff is. Just think about the amount of fake information being spread out there and the amount of people actually believing it and spreading it for more people.

    When did Twitter become a news source? Yahoo seems to think so.

    THANK YOU. It's happened numerous times the last few weeks in the sports world. People make "parody" accounts and change their name to "Sports Center" or "Adam Schefter" and Tweet out a fake report like "BREAKING - NFL TO SUSPEND ALL OPERATIONS UNTIL 2022."

    People read the tweet, look at the name and see Adam Schefter, and assume it's his real account and then start spreading the fake information. Credible journalists who are "verified," meaning they are a trusted source, spreading the fake information.

    So glad not on any of that
    But to actual footage. Democrats using Fed stimulus for illegals, recovery in green deal stuff. Claiming deaths at home were due to injustice health care. I call BS people were told over and over and over again don't bother coming to the hospital unless you cant breath. Excuse me by then things turned very fast. Too fast for those that had no idea they had already gone to far into respiratory distress, because THEY WEREN'T DOCTORS!.

    Curious where are all the homeless across the country...Am I missing all the coverage, you know like the daily stuff we got before this pandemic. I see a lot of empty street footage,save the recent azzhat gatherings in some state capitals.

    One more thing and I won't bother you the rest of day...OK,Ok..I heard that sigh of relief.
    Every single state should have to submit their projected yearly budget. I believe most were done before this hit. Then they do not get more money than what would set them to that level. This should not be a reset for bad state management.

    That's what I was getting at, the way it used to work here is like this.

    You involuntarily lose your job, you file for unemployment. Your former employer can fight it or not, all depends on why you were terminated.

    You then have to have a one week waiting period and get paid for the second week and weekly after that until you regain employment or exhaust your unemployment benefit period.

    If laid off, same scenario applies but your employer is less likely to fight it.

    If your employer calls you back to work you either go back or not. If you choose not to and are still on unemployment your benefits are then terminated because you basically self terminated.

    In both cases you have to actively seek employment and provide proof if requested.

    Now they have waived the one week wait period and waived the limit of time you can be on unemployment so even those who had exhausted their benefits could sign back up immediately.

    I do not know how that will work now. If you're earning $8-900 a week sitting at home, you're not going to go back to a $10 an hour job.

    My hope is the same call back and decline you self terminated employment still applies when restrictions start lifting.

    It's a freaking mess as it is, that's why I have been so against the $600 bonus. It should have been $xxx to make you whole between what you were making and now get on unemployment.

    So I left work today. Lungs have been irritated and today they were a bit worse. Didn't sleep well last night.

    I'm hoping it is due to the cold weather this week. Pert of my works Covid-19 contingency plan is that all entry doors to buildings are propped open for hands free entry/exit. It's been near or below freezing a few nights and daily highs in the 30's and 40's. My building is probably 10,000 square feet and the put in 4 keep the heat air exchangers that run constantly.

    My machine is in a corner where one of the propped doors is, all week there has been a constant breeze as the air exchangers pull air in. Basically been working outdoors all week even though indoors.

    Hoping that is all it is, would rather be proactive than reactive in this case.

    I've never been able to figure anything out other than Facebook.

    He's on day 5 with no symptoms, so that's good news

    He has not been here in a long time but was one of the original members
