I feel like I am living in fear. I am so worried about my family. I go into a panic mode if someone coughs in my family. This thing is taking a toll. I hope this ends soon.

This is a tough time. Let's all be grateful for what we do have and remember that some people live with this stress on a daily basis, worrying if they'll be able to provide for their children.

Of course I am grateful but this is so irrelevant. Not sure why others’ situation would alleviate my fear.

funny

It will pass but we just have to adjust to this new norm for now. You being fearful and panicking the instant someone coughs helps no one. It does not help yourself nor your family members. Remember there are a ton more reasons why people cough or sneeze. It is allergy season after all. Perhaps try to remember that. Is anyone in your family still going out to work is everyone on a mandatory wfh schedule?

Hang in there OP. This too shall pass.

Thank you

Thank you. Agreed. Trying to stay as positive as I can. No, both of us work from home.

That’s even better that you both work from home. So long as you both are practicing social distancing I wouldn’t panic or worry. And if you can just get all your food delivered and clean everything that comes into your home. And throw out all packaging. If you do have to go out for food wear masks if you have and stay away from people. You’ll be fine. And do not watch the news all day.

Hot take, for those who received a stimulus based on FY19 or FY18 returns why doesn’t the government make people pay it back in the FY20 return if they don’t qualify based on the actual tax year stimulus was for? I understand why they couldn’t wait but IrS knows who received it so it isn’t hard to implement. Could have used the anticipated saving coming back to fund more stimulus for those who truly needed it.
