COVID-19 Pt.2

March 26th, 2020 at 07:50 pm

Yes, same subject...part 2.

Random thoughts & updates in no particular order of importance:

1. My state has the fastest growing rate of infection in the country. Mardi Gras really increased the infection rate exponentially.

2. Still working both jobs as an essential health care professional.

3. Schools closed for 4 weeks under an order from the governor until April 13th.

4. Stay at home order began at 5 p.m. this past Monday.

5. I am quarantining myself from my parents for their safety.

6. I will get probably less than half of the stimulus money for singles if it all passes as is.

7. I am appreciative of 90 extra days to pay my federal taxes. I've heard no word about state taxes. I already contributed the max to my IRA for 2019 even though the 2019 deadline is now extended as well.

8. I had a trip to Montreal canceled & I predict that my trip to Switzerland in May will be canceled as well. Switzerland is being hit hard.

I hope all is well with you. I pray that you & your loved ones stay healthy and unaffected by this virus. I haven't been here as much. I find myself consumed with watching & following the news on social media. I should probably take a break.

    So nice of you to put a priority on your parents' health. My dad lives in your state and his health is fragile. An extended family 30-something woman and her kid are staying at his house to save money while she recovers from a divorce. She's a nurse who is likely working daily at the hospital and the kid is in daycare. I feel like she is jeopardizing my dad's health every single day and it makes me angry.

    I hope your parents are self-isolating, in addition to not socializing with you.

    Stay safe. Sounds like you are in Louisiana; like most states, they have extended the deadline to file; see https://revenue.louisiana.gov/NewsAndPublications/COVID19LouisianaStateTaxFilingAndPaymentExtensions

    Thank you, Dido! I don’t owe the state much, but every little bit helps people during this difficult time.
