US House bill exempts employers with 500 employees from sick day requirement

The people making these laws are completely out of touch with reality. Come to think of it, so are the people executing them and judging them. When you're a multi-millionaire with no care in the world, it's hard to relate to the huddled, working masses. This is a token law. Just like the free coronavirus testing is a token law. It won't help much because people will still be afraid of bills to go get any treatment (which is definitely NOT free). Only the test is free. The rest will bankrupt you. And when you don't even have sick time at work or you've just lost your job due to this crisis, you can't afford it.

We are definitely going the UK route. We're just not public about it. The government isn't governing. They aren't doing shit. Some state governments are trying, but absent federal leadership and due to all the red tape, they are faltering. The federal government is actively holding testing back. The crisis is already a disaster here. The way this is going, China and Italy will be models of extreme success compared to us. Our CDC is incompetent. Our government is incompetent. They are telling lies about masks and other things. We have almost no testing. Asymptotical to zero for a country this large. We are so fucked. And you know what they'll say? "Thoughts and prayers." Yeah, thoughts and prayers for better leadership. Welcome to the new third world.
