Coronovirus III

Is there any difference in effectiveness of the different antibodies? In the typical duration they "hang out" in the body?

Big variable. The IgX designations are type classifications of antibodies. The IgG type produced from the flu is different than the IgG type produced from the chinese virus. Each specific one will have its own life of effectiveness. So far nobody knows how long the IgG type antibodies from the chinese virus will last.

So I just received a report of my employees collecting unemployment. I only cut 2 person's hours for 2 weeks then took them back to near normal. The person who was a part-time high school employee and only worked 8-14 hrs per week was eligible for unemployment because she is 18. The report showed her continuing to collect even after she was back at work, so I called Dept of Workforce Development. They said she's eligible for $250 per week total, more than she could have ever made here as a part time trainee while she was in school.

Your tax dollars and inflation in action, I guess. It might also explain why her performance went down the tubes last week. She may want to get laid off completely? I don't know.

Just be careful that nothing goes down that gets You in trouble.

Bingo!!! My sis best friend from high school is super happy and relaxed right now. She told my sis that they are MAKING more in unemployment + COVID19 benefits then when they were working. They dont have to leave their home, are getting paid and life is good.

How can you be getting/earning more is beyond me. Something does not add up?

Government calculus.

Government calculus.

I would like to know who and how that language got inserted into the bill and their reasoning. I would also like to know which are my representatives and Senators voted for it. The last one should be easy to figure out by Google not sure Google would know all the ins and outs of the first.

I’m not sure. Wasn’t all of that as part of one or more of the CV stimulus bills? I think they all passed by wide, bi-partisan margins, didn’t they?

Yeah it was all part of the big stimulus bills they've been passing. Seems like government almost always gets it wrong and when they do anything quickly because they think it's an emergency they double down on how wrong they are

I think so. It was intended to give relief to those who could not work because of the effects of the chinese virus. I don't think they meant to create these situations where people made more for doing nothing.
For every person you hear about that is making more this way there are probably many more who are making less than they would have and hopefully getting by.

They are just re-proving once again that one size does NOT fit all.

I think they absolutely meant to do it. Like the drug dealer saying, "The first hit is free." Get them used to getting by on government largesse and they have no incentive to get off it.

Oh I think they knew what they were doing. At least some of them. I remember seeing a clip of a democrat, when asked about folks getting (either getting money that were still working or making more than they were while working—I’m not sure now), he quipped “so what?”. (In so many words).

Making a career out of getting fat and lazy at home..... AND actually getting a decent paycheck.

What classes should I take to accomplish this?

That sure could be but I'm not as sure.
Typically unemployment doesn't pay as much as a person made while working. It pays some fraction of that and varies by state. Because of the chinese virus situation they wanted to add some money to the unemployment amount. They settled on a flat amount of $600. Obviously this flat amount will be a higher percentage of the unemployment amount in some states than others and will be a higher percentage of the old wages for lower paid unemployed people than for higher paid unemployed people.
I suppose they could have made it a percentage instead of a flat amount. Maybe they did want to encourage a welfare state and socialism.

Computer Tech!
How do you still fit through the door?

 

[Dead Duck]

Hey....
Wasn't that extra $600 thing one of the Dem add-ons in order to pass the bill?

Ain't no maybe about it in my opinion.

And where do you suppose that $600 number came from?

Could it possibly be that $600 ÷ 40 hours = $15 per hour that democrats have been clamoring for as a minimum wage?

Nah. It couldn't be that. It must just be a total coincidence.
