I think that, generally, you gotta have assets that are worth a certain amount of money AND in your name only to create an estate in the courts that the banks can raid. My mom went through this when my dad died. Basically, Dad didn't have enough stuff in his name alone that Mom was legally required to file through the courts. I think she had to report to the probate courts that there wasn't enough and they said "ok." She had an advisory session with a lawyer who told her that the house and cars were not to be listed through the probate courts since her name was on the mortgages/titles as well.

This meant the hospital wrote off the 2.5 weeks worth of bills from him being in Critical and Intensive Care beds on top of medicines and equipment they used on him. I think my mom told me they sent a $350,000 bill but when she called the hospital billing department they said, "that's a mistake, don't pay any of it." He had a $5000 loan in his name through Navient (nobody knew what it was for) and when Mom told them he'd died, they said "well we'll check the probate courts for an estate, and if nothing's there, it'll just be written off."

So to sum it up money isn't real?

My spouse is a medical provider who mainly sees people on medicaid so their social economic status is pretty low. This is because other hospitals the area don't want to take medicaid so she gets all of them. So now, her colleagues in those other hospitals are busy with tele-health, while my spouse is now furloughed because it turns out(to no surprise to c-spam) that income inequality is so bad that people with low SES are unable to do telehealth for a bunch of reasons related to poverty. It's a real sad state with just things a lot of people can take for granted.

He can take punative actions against states that don't bend to his will, and his previous actions definitely indicate he may.

But let's all claim Hillary and Biden would be worse picks, while rapists fill the SCOTUS.

I don't really think Biden would do any better and also he's a rapist too.

but yeah I think Hillary would probably do mildly better. at the very least she did in the past support medicare related stuff and wasn't against social security

He doesn't even have to illegally withhold funding! State and local tax revenues are already going to completely collapse and require a federal bailout. We see they're already confiscating medical supplies and then doling them out solely based on political favors. The same thing will happen with federally funding schools etc. Not open? No funding!

German experts recommend easing of restrictions

As time runs out on emergency measures to limit the spread of coronavirus in Germany, the country’s Academy of Sciences Leopoldina has recommended a gradual relaxing of restrictions, as long as new infections stabilise and personal hygiene measures are maintained, AFP reports.

The Academy’s findings are to form the basis for a decision Wednesday by German Chancellor Angela Merkel and the heads of Germany’s 16 regions about whether to extend restrictions imposed in mid-March that are set to expire on Sunday.

The latest figures by the Robert Koch public health institute indicate new infections are slowing, dropping to 2,537 on Monday, taking the total to 123,016. With 2,799 deaths so far from Covid-19, the toll in Germany is far behind that of other big European nations.

The Academy recommended reopening schools as soon as possible, starting with primary and middle schools, although most child care facilities should remain closed. It recommended reopening shops and restaurants as long as social distancing measures are rigorously respected, and for government offices to get back to work.

The head of the Academy, Gerald Haug, said these measures could only go forward accompanied by an obligation to wear a face mask while riding in public transport to prevent a resurgence of infections. He told the weekly Der Spiegel

"Every citizen should in the future have this type of protection for their mouth and nose and wear it each time social distancing measures can’t be respected."
