got mine
I am on SS and I received a direct deposit yesterday.
Oh, and the deposit entry when I looked at it online mentioned IRS.
So we have a few different scenarios which center around our tax returns:
  1. You filed a tax return, got a refund, and opted for direct deposit. IRS has your bank info.
  2. You filed a tax return, but didn't get got a refund (eg, ended up owing a little, as per Percy's scenario). Assuming that this applies to all your past returns that IRS will keep record of, IRS does not have your bank info.
  3. You did not file a return, IRS does not have your bank info.
Because we also get Canadian Pension and disbursements from Canadian "401k" we pay taxes in Canada, and they take a big chunk because we are non-residents. These always right off US taxes so we get refunds, which we have direct deposit to our bank.

Re: Moron in chief
I mean, ingesting disinfectant is bad enough - and I presume it’s the same in the States as it is here, that there are warning signs on the bottles telling you not to do it and to take your baby to A&E if they accidentally do it. But injecting it into the blood stream ???
maybe it will lead to a historically large (number 1) Darwin Awards.

Beyond disbelief
I've only slowly realized that it may very well be true. That is just so scary. You guys down there gotta fix this!
The official headgear for quarantine protestors
You know when I saw the news clip of Trump talking about sunlight and disinfectant my reaction was "This must be a fake video. Even he could NOT be saying that!!!!"
What you are seeing is quintessential Dunning-Kruger effect ... with very little education or knowledge to build on.

rolling shutdowns.
The plan was for closing things down (two weeks would not have been long enough) while we ramped up a federally organized and coordinated testing and contact tracing effort. We did close things down, but the federal government abandoned the states and left them to create 50 separate testing and contact tracing efforts. For this reason, as we open things up we're just as vulnerable as we were back in March. Mitigating factors are the degree to which people continue wearing masks, and rising temperatures since "Each additional 1.8-degree temperature increase above that level was associated with an additional 3.1 percent reduction in the virus’s reproduction number..." (Summer weather could help fight coronavirus spread but won’t halt the pandemic.
Curiously I wonder if we could have rolling shutdowns as an opening option ... if we had sufficient testing and contact tracking ability ...
as shutdowns of 2 weeks should clear anyone self isolated as not infected, and thus able to replace workers who then self isolate for 2 weeks. Each cycle you remove and test people with symptoms and track who they contacted.
Just a thought
