Corona Virus Panic

[gungriffin]

Well, I had a scary thought cross my mind as I was driving home from work tonight (I am working, making N95 masks and now face shield headbands to donate). Oh sh!t! Tomorrow's April 15th. I know I heard on the news that Federal Taxes have been deferred until July 15th, but do I still have to file them and then not have to pay? (The original announcement I heard), and then what about Colorado Income taxes? I last heard/read on the news that some states were following the IRS lead, but hadn't heard or read anything about Colorado, and I am huge news hound. So after I got home I was relieved to learn that indeed Colorado has deferred paying to July 15, and even filing until October 15, when you would ordinarily have to file if you filed for an extension.

And I went to the IRS web site and learned that yes, not only are payments deferred until July 15 (which was widely reported) but filing is too (not so widely reported):

This also includes any retirement contributions that you might do too. I was rushing today to move funds around to get this taken care of. My girlfriend then showed me an article that I had until the filing deadline.

The extended deadline also applies to HSA contributions for the 2019 tax year.

Per the latest CDC guidance, looks like we're postponing our wedding

A silver lining or gut punch?

I suggested that to and all she did was laugh. Soooo... I think that was agreement on her part?

Lack of refutation from a spouse may not imply affirmation. "Do what you think is best." is fraught with danger. It might be easier just to clear landmines in Angola or Cambodia.

Word is that the whole Big Sur, CA area has been swarmed the last few weekends by people getting out to "exercise" so now the forest is shutting down everything the can that is accessed from Highway 1. The trails accessible from the inland side are still open.

Makes sense though... I keep seeing social media posts from people from several hours away driving down to Big Sur to totally not congregate in large groups that don't live together

We were supposed to do our wedding yesterday but we had to postpone until October. So instead we took a few photos and opened a bottle of bubbly. And I managed to sneak my truck in the background of one of our photos

Yes. The most dangerous four letter ever to come out of a woman’s mouth - fine.

FINE - Feelings Inside Not Expressed

We are hiring 12 more staff for our surveillance team in summit. Temporary through the summer and probably some into the fall. Looking for people with emt or clinical back grounds. Shoot me a message. Will mainly be contact tracing and enforcing quarenteen and isolation orders.

Current stats for me are (that I know about):

Friends who have had relatives die: 2
Friends who are recovering from "mild" symptoms that kicked their butts for two or more weeks: 2
Friends with family or close co-workers who either have recently tested positive or are expected to soon: 2
Friends who are now taking this less seriously or who never took it seriously to begin with: a bunch

I'm not so much worried about me dying since I'm an elder millennial and we basically invented suicide memes. I'm more concerned at this point about being the only caretaker for my parents and aunt if any of them get sick. And is the only caretaker for her parents as well. I've got people around me yelling to completely reopen the economy and allow house parties and whatnot. It's frustrating because they are basically saying my immunocompromised mother should be sacrificed.
