Yeah it's smart. Mailing will not start until April 20 or April 27 I read as well. Also the IRS will add an 'update your information' web site sometime in late april / early may. Not sure how that will help, but I guess instead of waiting until August for the late late late last of stimulus payments you can add a direct deposit so you avoid waiting a few more months.That is smart. I wish it were faster overall but good to get it to the most needy first.

I'm going off 2018 tax filings too where I made significantly less. One good thing by holding on on filing my 2019 taxes =]
Yeah. I was figuring we would get the full 2900, but the back of my mind I was preparing worst case scenario of only 1200. (having a permanant resident spouse / daughter on ssi).I don’t think your daughter was ever in doubt as she is a full dependent like my kids.
Yep. Not worried about that though (we are fine on money... but instead of being tight with it how we are now we will buy a few toys and save the rest (just posted what we are going to buy to stimulate the economy)Will you get a refund in 2019? It'd be nice to also get that injection of liquidity into your life.
well at least there's this...

Can finally put my mind to ease... got the full 2900 paid out.
I'm already shopping and favoriting the websites for 0001 Wednesday morning =]
GPU 2060 SUPER
Monitor, not sure but 1440p (maybe ultra wide, don't know yet)
Possibly Nikon P900 for wifey (even if we aren't using it my father would melt if I let him borrow that... so if not only for my wife, my father would really appreciate that camera (his wife would never let him buy it even with stimulus monies =P))
Some clothes for wife and kid, maybe some jordan retro 4's for me.
Saving the rest of 1000+ for as needed.
Anyone...
Do you think a 2060 SUPER can handle this monitor for gaming?
Or would I need a 2070 / 2070 SUPER?
Are you a human?
That monitor is SICK.... and pretty damn attractive price. Same price (lower quality obviously) as the curved non ultra wide screen 1440p I was going to get.
Name one that doesn’t. China sure does. Maybe North Korea if you want to go there. People in power always have their toadies and backers and will funnel money to them wastefully. Thinking otherwise is naive.
So... yinz opening up the churches for tomorrow 'n at?
The only way this ends: herd immunity - The Boston Globe
Adding this here - I don't think Herd Immunity is the panacea and I don't trust journalism professors to understand a single number...but it does have good stuff from Lipsitch who IMO has been the most sensible and balanced epidemiologist throughout all of this.
I'll quibble on his model's conclusions from my armchair, though. I don't think after you let up it spreads as the same rate as before (what their model is based on). We're so attuned to COVID now and I think a series of simple regulations and behavioral changes can put average people into way less close physical proximity to others (the driver of transmission) than they were in during February.
More from him: Coronavirus ‘is the Big One: Harvard epidemiologist
The problem with the “herd immunity” train of thought is that we don’t know if people can get this again, how long it takes for them to get this again, and if it is worse the second time around. Plus the whole problem of overwhelming the medical system and blahblahblah.
People have pretty short memories, especially against invisible enemies. I mean, we aren't all terrified of zee Germans. Plus most people are way too gross to be germaphobes.
Oh they will for sure. That's costing them money in extra hours, cleaning supplies, etc... Once covid 19 is in the rearview mirror it will be business as usual.Yes. To an individual level, yes. But what about on a macro level, where Costco is spraying carts down and having lines stretch 500 feet, in a feeble attempt at social distancing?
It will be funny if they ever STOP doing that, now that it has been started.
The false negative for the virus test is like 30%...it’s hugely high...the tests aren’t very accurate...sorry to tell @Mario_is_BACK!! that...
i'm not sure what you are referring to,I see that, and while it's nice to have some hope, I immediately think of the last touted 100% cure method... which, in the end did not nearly have 100% cure and has been disavowed by every legitimate medical publication.
So, hope in one hand and shit in the other and see which fills up faster.

I’m coming to cough on you!
So when I got the call about my test being negative, my reaction was pretty bland. The nurse on the line said “That’s far less enthusiastic than most people.” I replied to her that I’m glad I don’t have it, but then I’d at least have a name to what’s knocking me out. Do I want it? No. But it’s been relatively manageable (with a few scary days). If it’s COVID then fine. Now I don’t know what I have, I just know I have something and it’s knocking me out.
