What I do not want is making the state UI agencies again revamp their payment computation systems to fit payments to a percentage of prior income. The Senate bill proposes that to take effect within 2 weeks even AFTER they found that the states estimated the time needed to perform the needed reprogramming at from 5 to 22 weeks.
This is an absolute nightmare.@bgriffin wrote:
8. Increased funding for virtual learning. And we have to figure out something for those people who still have to go to work but also have school aged children who likely will not be at school.

GOP and Dems are debating liability. Some of the trickier points like this could stall a stimulus bill.@Flash wrote:
My real concern is limiting unemployment while eliminating business liability. If my understanding is correct, at present if my former employer calls me back to work yet has not created a safer environment, I lose my unemployment if I turn down the return to work even if it is because I am fearful for my health. If I get sick returning to work I at least can seek restitution through the courts. This makes it imperative that my employer create a safe work environment, just as he/she has always been required to do.

I can't even imagine restarting schools in a place like Texas and Florida, where there are so many COVID non-compliant people and large virus cases. This sounds like disaster waiting to happen.

I just read that the House has canceled their August recess until there is a Covid relief package. The article didn't say anything about the Senate, but I hope they follow suit. Maybe they will buckle down and reach a reasonable compromise if they can't go out to play until their work is done.

Just read some of the earlier calendar schools have reopened. First day of school in Indiana had a student test positive for COVID.@Flash wrote:
School opening has been pushed to the end of August.
Classrooms are small and 30 to a class is very dense. 15 seems to be the number I'd think would be an absolute minimum for a decent chance at safety.@ wrote:
Total 23 kids in a 30 seat classroom. I don't see how they are going to get social distancing to work.
Yes, THIS.@Sandy Shopper wrote:
Keep trying. I once read that it only took 10 people to call or write to get the attention of their local congressperson. Keep trying.
