There are many forms of welfare in FInland, how much you get depends on which welfare you are on.

Which you are on?

one which requires me to work 70 hours every week so I can get 6000 euros of debt a year.

What?

They did a quiz in Finland, asking people about how well FInnish government has dealt with the recent issues, and how THL (like the government's healthcare organization) has performed.

Most people said very well or well.

Why people are so stupid! Have they read the news at all?
They have NOT dealt well with the coronavirus. Their decisions are just a big mess and they pull new under-estimated estimates out of their asses every day, not wanting to admit the reality.
In the early days of the epidemic they referred to WHO's guidelines, but when WHO changed their guidelines to be more strict, they just stopped referring to them and are now referring to Finnish health organizations guidelines So seems like they do not really care about any guidelines, but do as they please, and then cherry pick some guidelines from some random organization which has suitable ones, so people wouldn't complain.

Government decided to stop all unnecessary traffic in/out from the capital area, but apparently you can get in/out by just saying that you have to go to work. They don't check or anything. So it's quite meaningless ban yet again...

Canada is taking responsible steps trying to balance the economic impact while also addressing the virus' spread. The sensible measures that have failed in several other countries. We're rapidly approaching a notable death toll and near complete quarantine/martial law being the only option to stop it, because we weren't aggressive enough early on when it "wasn't needed" even though we can see how italy and spain are turning out.

I worry for my parents.

PUL-042, a drug used by cancer patients to ramp up their lung immune system to fight lung infections is in clinical trials in a Houston, Texas hospital. The drug proved effective in trials versus SARS, MERS and a few other infuenza viruses.

People in NYC/Manhattan are ignoring stay at home orders and traveling to places like south Florida which may account for the corvid infection spike in Miami.

That part I can understand.

The rest... not so much. Which stems from the statistics counting corona virus deaths by simply checking if there was an infection, regardless of existance of any smyptoms or it being the actual cause of death. First in northern germany was a 73 year old with terminal stage cancer on a palliative (specialized on making dying as pleasant as possible) station, who as of the cancer was a dead man walking that went there to lay down and die, managed to pull that off and through this was promoted to have officially died of corona.

I honestly wouldn't be surprised at this point if someone who successfully suicided through eating a shotgun would too be chalked up as a corona death, given a positive test outcome on the now basically headless body. And as the resulting completely nonsense statistics are used as excuse to to remove civil liberties... Have a nice pandemic crisis.

But why would anyone want to do that?
Restrictive measures are put in place to protect people.

Wish there was just one basic income!

Wow. I never expected something like that coming from your mouth/brain.
Although ... the leading up complaining suggest its just related to your being sick of all the rules in play. And nothing else.
(Figure that is still worth a +1 ... out of 10 mind you. Not that you care of course.)

lol

Living in a nation with almost 11 million illegal immigrants this tickles me to no end.

I wish no one to get sick but the irony can not be ignored.
