My son's work was swatted his boss had a truck of the same model but different year and color of one used in an armed robbery and the police where called in a tip by some angry person who had their stuff repossessed. The officers even with a video tape of the actual truck seeing the difference in color and package (aka no sun roof) still impounded the truck and arrested everyone and held them for 4 hours while they searched the business and the truck. Then the bussiness owner sued the crap out of them.

I know no one that has died of Covid but I know 2 people that where killed for their stimulus money.

Doctors and insurance companies are not allowed to give out that info by law the 13 states attorney generals that have asked for that info are looking for a few minutes in the spotlight because Amazon can't give them what they aren't allowed to ask.

In my town, the local authorities are recommending to not attend parties or gatherings of any kind. All of the city and state offices are closed so you can't get a permit for a public gathering one's that where previously issued have been cancelled so no concerts, fund raisers, sport events, etc... schools are closed and all school activities have been canceled. Restaurants except drive through, Bars, Clubs, Gyms, Court house, are all closed. Grocery stores have limited hours (no more 24 hours).
