I think that is potentially good news, though one has to wonder how good. I know there were reports coming out of S. Korea of a number of people who had been infected and been reinfected so there is a bit of a question mark on developing immunity and how long that actually lasts. I also think there is a question of

Doesn’t sound much different than say a concert in a large stadium with people dancing around and otherwise being active, yelling, singing, and so on. Not saying it’s OK because I think opening large venues in Phase 1 is ridiculous as well. 

Well that may be true. I’m just suggesting some means by which you register a name, phone number or something that can be verified. If you use my email address then I’ll get an email indicating that I’ve been registered and I can notify you that it’s fake. Leaving it wide open doesn’t sound like an option.

Greece may not be able to print Euros but what about Russia, Iceland, Mexico, Argentina. Your assertion that we can just print more money to prevent bankruptcy is simply wrong.

The one time payment is a tax rebate. How do you give a tax rebate to someone that didn’t pay any taxes? Low income people who either didn’t

No but they could try to do something that requires someone to “register” or provide a means of tracking the online user. In an in-person, public meeting you can come in and shout your head off, but some sergeant at arms is able to walk over and cuff you and drag you out of the meeting. For online meetings they might

Yes, times were different back then. But I would say that today we have these similarities

Excellent points. We have better simulations, better computers and better technology over all. 

I know a lot of claims were made about the space program in general as to the work created and the numerous spin-offs. Was it enough to pay for the whole program? Hard to say but whether it did or didn’t I would say the need to establish humankind in at least 2 separate locations in the universe probably warrants us

Have there been any real travel agents in the past 10 years? I mean with all the apps and smartphones my trips are practically booked automatically any way.

You are likely right, although one might conjecture that putting men on the moon might create some jobs for some of those out of work people. 

an unreasonably aggressive timeline

Generally true, but if the plan is to eliminate Earth as a single point of failure for the human race we need to put people into space and start populating other places. That will take many, many years of space exploration before we have anything like a workable second home.

If we can’t get people safely to the moon

Who’s mad? Do you think my hourly dishwashers are too dumb to do 3rd grade math? Let’s see, WA State, $13.50/hr minimum wage. Unemployment benefits at $13.50 will be a minimum of $188/wk. Add $600/wk and you’re getting nearly $20/hr. Why would I work at Amazon for $15 and the chance to die from Covid?

I think the question is out of 100 people what is the likelihood that some or all of them are infected? Probably not all to be sure. Based on today’s numbers (confirmed infections/population) that calculates to about .2% however we know that we are not confirming (through testing) everyone that is or was infected so

If I were Snopes I would rate your comment as half-true. The reason is that you make some assumptions. First, while the people who work at Amazon are a “static” set you presume that their interactions outside of work are also static which is a bit of a reach, if nothing else they also have to go to the grocery store.

Well I can’t speculate there but I do have to wonder how safe it is to work in a warehouse with a few hundred other people given that everyone is talking social distancing these days.

What we need to know is will Bezos refund our money for Prime since we can’t get shit in 2 days any more?

Not gonna happen Bonzo. The gubmint is handing out $600 a week in addition to unemployment. Amazon only pays $15/hr sucker. I’m staying home and binging Tiger King. 

No, you cannot print infinite money. Well you can print it and it will be worthless. Have you not see countries that have had their currency devalued? You think a country cannot go broke? I’ll refer you to Greece, Iceland, Russia and Mexico, just to name a few.

As for your assertion that the GOP bill did not include
