U.S. Overtakes China in COVID-19 Cases
Yesterday the U.S. case count took first place as the nation with the highest number of COVID-19 cases with approximately 86,000 cases and 1,300 deaths. NY and NJ remain the hot spots of the U.S. Louisiana case count is surging (post-Mardi Gras) and appears to be the next domino.
Physical Distancing vs Social Distancing
The WHO(World Health Organization) supports using physical distancing rather than social distancing to describe the minimum 6 ft perimeter, non-essential business closures, gatherings, and the other distancing measures espoused by public health. To many, social distancing was translating to social isolation, which is not the intent. Stay connected, but stay safe.

Stimulus Checks: Who Is Eligible and How Much Will They Be?
The Senate voted unanimously late Wednesday night to approve a $2 trillion economic stimulus package that would send most Americans checks of up to $1,200, as a way to put money directly in the pockets of families struggling to manage the economic fallout of the coronavirus pandemic. The legislation, which still needs to be passed by the House of Representatives and signed by the president, would give single adults who reported adjusted gross income of $75,000 or less on their 2019 tax returns a one-time check for $1,200, according to draft legislation. Married couples who filed jointly would receive $2,400. Families would get an additional $500 for each child. Click the link below to get additional information on the stimulus package.
