The US can LITERALLY snap its fingers and create a universal basic income program that covers all of its citizens, hardly anyone would oppose it under today's circumstances.

And get off your high horse, it's safe to say that hardly anyone "grasp the whole extent of it" when just weeks ago this was a non-issue to most people, politicians and governments. 

I think the experts who educated themselves for decades of their careers would beg to differ that it was a non issue when they were shouting at us in January to take it seriously while WHO played politcal games with China. And btw, sense you're all good with immunity, good luck rolling the die on the mutations, it's "just the flu, bro" in that regard cause it will mutate just as fast and while your at it roll another die that you don't get a reinfection which is being reported now and rumoured for weeks to be 14% of cases. 

I have never been in the "just the flu, bro" camp. No idea why you would assume that. I also haven't been tested for COVID19. I was joking since he seemed to assume I am riled up or something.
