Shall I send my daughter (almost 5) back to PreK/childcare center in 2 weeks when they open after thanksgiving after shutting down preemptively due to a teacher and 2 parents getting covid? My work is accommodating with my partners and my working varying hours, however, I do not forsee that ongoing much as things get busy and my daughter can’t just watch tv all day until the vaccine comes out and the population is adequately inoculated.

If you're in the US, maybe it's better to wait a week or 2 after Thanksgiving happens? If we're being honest, there's probably a lot of ppl gathering with families when they shouldn't and there will most definitely be a spike in cases after the holiday. Might be best to wait the fall out and see? I'm in Canada and this was definitely the case for us (massive spike in cases following the long weekend)

Yes. In the US. That’s what I was worrying about. 😓 I wish people would listen to the risk

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.
