GetMyMoney IRS site has problems

Some users who tried to log in were met with a message that said, "Due to high demand, you may have to wait longer than usual to access this site. We appreciate your patience." Others who said they were able to submit their information after a wait period, reported receiving a message that said, "Payment Status Not Available," according to accounts on social media.

The governor rejected quarantine measures.

The NY Post describes the increases as skyrocketing.

That may be, but thus far, while their cases per million are 17th highest, their deaths per million are 6th lowest. The pork plant outbreak substantially contributed to their problem. I think it is too early to declare SD a major problem or even a failure of government, for all that I would have preferred she had supported quarantining folks.

Governor Sununu doesn't sound like he's planning on opening NH any time soon.

And, again, the idiocy of making states arrange for their own equipment shows. It's great that Kraft helped MA and that Dean Kamen is helping NH, but this is not how a FEDERAL government is supposed to do things.

A cluster that size in one place, those people buy groceries, go to restaurants, laundromats etc
How much testing and contact tracing going on in SD?

The hospital system there is gonna get steamrolled and that’s if everything isn’t terrible.

The for profit healthcare system is dead.

SD is testing at a rate of 9700 pM.   That's better than about half of US states,  about even with PA,  well ahead of KS.   Our death rate, as a proportion of total cases,  is one of the lowest,  which some here are attributing to clean air and climate (after an SD winter,  anyone with a delicate constitution says holy fuck I'm getting out of here, so the long-term population tends to be selected in the direction of robust).  I think it's also a matter of spacing -  where crowding is rare and there's so much open space,  your "viral load" is lower (the term means number of virus particles encountered during one exposure incident).   Ceteris paribus,  if your immune system meets up with a smaller dose of particles it has a better chance of developing enough antibodies before virus proliferates and causes a severe case.

Should have had masks on at the plant

To financially assist front line workers at Medicaid-funded residential facilities and social services organizations across New Hampshire, Sununu announced the formation of the Long-Term Care Stabilization Program. The program will provide a weekly $300 stipend to those workers during the coronavirus pandemic.

"This additional stipend recognizes the crucial role workers in this sector play as we confront this pandemic," Sununu said.



Clap, clap clap for Sununu.

That is a Republican candidate for congress in the photo ignoring social distancing... and also the guy with the Proud Boys bandana, flashing the white power sign. FREDOM!

"I was photobombed!" cries the less than clever congressional candidate.

He is only defending the Proud Boy accusation. He pleads guilty to choosing to spread the virus.

Waving Confederate flags while screaming about defending the Constitution is a bit off putting, no?

Some people, if not dogs, definitely have fleas.
