It's true.
My wife and I were lucky. She came into the US in October, and we got married in December. We got her social security number in November, so we were eligible for the stimulus check.
But there's a very small window for people on a fiancee visa to get a social security number (a few weeks) before having to wait until they get their green card (9-15 months).
As it was we weren't able to change her name for her social, as it was too close to her visa expiring.
I feel so badly for all the people in my situation that weren't able to get the social security number quick enough.

so sad for Sen Warren.
“I’m grateful to the nurses and other front-line staff who took care of my brother, but it is hard to know that there was no family to hold his hand or to say ‘I love you’ one more time. And now there’s no funeral for those of us who loved him to hold each other close,” Warren said. “I will miss my brother.”

My stimulus is being held up and I can't seem to get an update.
I just did my 2019 taxes and got my federal and state returns direct deposited already, but for my previous year I had to pay in so they may not have had my bank info and I also moved in the meantime so they may have sent a check to the wrong address. The tool on the IRS website is still saying "status not available" because it's a government website which means it's a piece of junk. So I have no idea where my money is.
I'm not in dire need of the money so I'm being patient, but I'd kind of like to get the $1200 that's owed to me.

I'm in the same boat. We filed our 2018 taxes last year but haven't filed 2019 yet. When I check our status it just says 'Payment Status Not Available'.

Baker calls latest coronavirus death figures ‘staggering’; Walsh says measures could be extended by weeks - The Boston Globe
Governor Charlie Baker on Thursday said the latest statewide death figures from COVID-19 are “staggering,” but he also urged residents to continue to visit hospitals for necessary treatment for other serious ailments and sought to assure the public that the healthcare system isn’t being overrun.
Referring to the 2,182 COVID-19 deaths statewide reported as of Wednesday, Baker said during his daily briefing that “these numbers are staggering, and we must remember the people behind these numbers.” He said relatives of the dead have had their worlds “shattered by this ruthless virus.”
In addition, Baker said the grim totals underscore the need to continue protective measures to combat the spread of the virus, such as social distancing and keeping non-essential businesses shuttered for the time being
At the same time, Baker said, the state’s hospitals have seen a troubling trend — a sharp decrease in the number of patients seeking attention for serious issues such as heart problems, dialysis care, and cancer.
“We know these medical conditions didn’t stop when COVID-19 picked up,” Baker said, adding that people should still go to the hospital if they have medical emergencies or need care for serious ailments.
Baker, who was joined by local hospital leaders at the briefing, said the state adequately prepared for the surge in COVID-19 patients, so hospitals could retain the capacity to treat other medical needs as well. As of Wednesday, Baker said, over half the state’s roughly 18,000 hospital beds were available to patients.
“It’s important that people are cared for when they’re sick, whether that’s for COVID-19 or something else,” Baker said, adding that residents should not be “delaying life-saving treatment” for a different medical problem “out of fear.”

Sen Warren is one of my favorite politicians . She's hard working and not afraid to challenge . Bigger set than most in the senate.
I feel sad for her family

She is not (even close to) one of my favorite politicians.
I still feel sad for her family.

Said pretty much the same thing. RIP to her brother. Condolences to her family. One of my biggest fears is losing a family member to this f***ing virus. Can't even imagine what that family is feeling right now.

And now Ingraham is playing the “they just hate me” card when it comes to the studies.
The narcissism isn’t limited to just the Donald.

Saw the town by town cases and deaths they published for MA yesterday. My wife was freaking out because we live in a podunk town in the middle of the state and our cases jumped dramatically for some reason. The number of cases was really high compared to other towns around us and even bigger towns near us, so she was a mess. Turns out, it's because we have a large elder care facility in town, and the shit is running rampant through that place. My heart breaks for all the older people who can't seem to fight this off. It's a really shitty way to spend your senior years in a facility like that already, and you end up getting this virus on top of it? It's just not fair.

My 60 year old uncle is in an assisted living home because he had a stroke on the operating table about 8 years ago. Super active, full of life, now he's partially paralyzed and my aunt can't provide the 24/7 care he needs. Luckily they have a great facility in their town so he's close by and she remodeled their first floor to make it accessible. He spends a lot of time at home, but my aunt is a nurse and tries to stay active herself so the facility is his home base.
They went on lockdown when this all started which has, obviously been hard because he's used to going home. If he went home, he wouldn't be able to go back and with my aunt being a nurse she can't care for him around the clock. Over the last week an outbreak started there and I'm petrified.
I just want all of this to be over.

Prayers to you and your aunt and uncle that everyone comes through okay. Scary scary stuff.
