I do not understand how a one- time payment of $1200 is going to be enough. It’s not just whether or not the virus will be kept at bay; it’s whether or not despair will be kept at bay. Putting tens of millions of people at risk for such intense anxiety is a recipe for disaster.

You're correct.... It's not enough. Period.

Throwing money at individuals is not going to work. $1200 will not touch the surface if we are losing our families to this.

if we can push this down to the sars or swine flu level where we all could work but were extra careful it might be enough to get us thru this down time

it's not enough - not to mention the fact that the checks won't start being mailed out until end of April/early May

one-time payment is: Only throwing a rope to a drowning person once.

It is not enough. This is why we demand Reparations, but you pivoted because it didn't suit you anymore

Exactly, the mental toll of not taking care of people *with their own tax dollars* is an added danger, from suicides to people who snap and hurt others, to burglaries/robberies, and so on.
