Its funny our whole country has just under 6000 cases...I know we are a much more smaller scale only 26 million people in our country...our state has been doing a lot of testing so we have a higher number than some states here but quite a few don't have symtoms or just mild symptoms...we have just had our 2nd death in our state (415 confirmed covid patients) one was from a cruise ship that was stuck in the ocean (princess something) they actually have the police looking into that cruise ship...and an older man who attended awedding in a different state a few weeks ago and many of the people that were at the wedding were from italy...actually most of our cases have been from people travelling from overseas or been in contact with people from overseas or on cruise ships..probably 96%

I spent some time at our flagship hospital this morning getting oriented in case they need us to come work there. A campus that is usually bustling with activity is eerily quiet. No visitors are allowed so those parking lots are empty. The gift shop is closed. Really nobody but essential workers are present. The two "med-surg" floors are all COVID patients. The ICU and PCU are full with COVID patients. Since there is almost no orthopedic surgery happening except for emergency cases, they've made the joint replacement institute wing where they keep the handful of non-COVID patients. I didn't actually see any patients as it would be a waste of PPE so I just shadowed one of the hospitalists while he was doing his daily rounds but I waited in the work station while he saw the patients.
So bottom line is they are already pretty full with COVID patients with the surge/peak anticipated to be coming over the next 2-3 weeks. Keep staying home. Nobody should be going anywhere that isn't absolutely essential. No Passover or Easter activities. Nothing. Stay home!Steve

If nothing else, the software must be written (or existing software copied and modified, which is no mean feat), and a canonical list of families (not all of whom file tax returns or give bank accounts when they do file returns) and addresses generated, and processes put in place to snail mail checks to people who can't get the money via EDI.
Bottom line: this is quite a complicated process.

Yes I have to agree it is a complicated process...same over here as so inundated with people and businesses that they are having trouble catching up with people who need the payments...although many have received their first stimulus payment over here
