Worst time of the year for Ramadan. What is it? 15 hours? Or he’ll longer up north. Something like that. Thank god i don’t do it as I can barely make it past 9 without a coffee.

God I hope not and that goes for all the places of worship. I certainly won’t be there. IMO, places of worship aren’t essential. If you need someone to tell you what to believe in than you have bigger problems and that’s not pointed at you @meazza All worshippers should have a text book or internet at home. Tune in but don’t go. 1

SoCal Deek Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 As far as I can tell we reached another milestone yesterday. Friday was the first day in which NY State did not lead the nation in deaths. PA and NJ took the top two spots but here again only four states were in excess of 100 Covid related deaths and only just barely. Possibly an even more important stat is that 30 out of 50 states (60%) recorded no Covid deaths at all on Friday.

B-Man Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 The CDC guidelines for opening places of worship are here. They are onerous. During the last ten minutes of the press briefing, Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany takes the stage and is barraged with questions about opening the churches. Reporters who undoubtedly have no problem shopping at Costco, Target and Total Wine seem to view churches as unique centers of disease. 1

I have been at Home Depot, Lowes, the food store and the like and like clockwork, folks are buying such essentials as grills, paint, pavers and decking material. Limit is now 100 people or so, people ripping their masks off as soon as they clear the store exit. On the other hand, places of worship are targeted with no such allowances. I'm not a church goer, have not been for years, but something is wrong here. 4

Chef Jim Posted May 23, 2020 Posted May 23, 2020 I was wondering how the CARE Act affected the FSA rules of "Use it or Lose it". The rule was changed in 2013 (Thanks Obama) that you could "rollover" $500 of your FSA to the next year (sarcastic yay) but anything else above that was lost. So I looked up to see if there was any changes in the CARE Act regarding this seeing lots of non-insurance covered elective care and procedures have been canceled. And what did I find? YES!! They have made changes to the FSA rules. Here here they are: 1. Menstrual products are now reimbursable 2. OTC drugs are now reimbursable without prescription (ummmm they are OTC) or a doctor's note (who get's a Dr's note anyway for OTC) And that's it. Those two things are sure to bring great sighs of relief to those who are struggling and boost our economy! The forethought and wisdom of our government on display every day! 1

I'm not a church goer, have not been for years, but something is wrong here. I’m amazed that Americans think they’re immune to the challenges that other countries have seen over the centuries. How do people think all of these failed attempts at socialism, communism, and totalitarianism got started? Do you think people woke up one day and said to themselves “let’s try a significant amount of freedom suppression for a change of pace”? No....there was almost always a convenient excuse falsely used to get people to freely give up their God given freedoms. The Left has been dying for just such a ‘crisis‘ here....and they believe they’ve found it in the corona virus. 2
