Yeah, we need a definition of "little or no income tax liability". That could mean many different things.

with the recent evidence that testing capacity is ramping up pretty nicely, the lack of medical supplies seems like the next most pressing near-term pressure point.

"qualifying income" and "little or no tax liability" could refer to "income" that is not taxed (e.g., SS benefits if you don't have other income), rather than those who paid income tax on earnings but at the end of the day got it all back because they didn't earn much.

My wife just said testing at her hospital is back to a six day turnaround. Like people are showing up to the ER demanding their baby get tested because they have a fever. She suggested that if you don't need to call 911, covid your ass at home.

yeah, it varies enormously state by state.  but i'm assuming that most lagging states will catch up relatively quickly.

That burr guy should be immediately sent to the most overcrowded covid ward and not given one ounce of medical treatment.

also varies hospital to hospital. In the Bay, Kaiser, UCSF, and Sutter Health will all have different lab contracts in place. It isn't like they all can go to a single source or even quickly go to a different, quicker source.
