The reason is that tax preparation companies received these people’s tax refunds first, deducted their fees and then distributed the remaining refunds to the customers. Because of that, the IRS had a “temporary bank account” on file that the tax preparer created for the 2019 tax season, Raghavan said.
The IRS is aware of the problem and urges people to input their bank information on the Get My Payment portal, a spokesman said.

Money down the toilet
Helsinki Region Environmental Services Authority HSY said that the coronavirus outbreak has led to a huge spike in blockages at wastewater pumping stations in the Helsinki Metropolitan Area since the beginning of March.
Tabloid Ilta-Sanomat’s report revealed that the source of the problem is people tossing hygiene products, handkerchiefs, disinfecting wipes, hand towels, tissues and wet wipes into the toilet, causing severe blockages.
“The worst so far was the first week of April when 14 pump blockages had to be dealt with. This week five blockages were cleared by Wednesday morning,” said HSY unit head Petteri Jokinen .
The authority emphasised that, unlike toilet paper, other paper products do not decompose when they end up in wastewater systems and form large lumps that cause blockages.
The issue forced the mayor of Helsinki Jan Vapaavuori to take to Twitter and urge people not to toss anything that doesn’t belong there into the toilet bowl.
Residents always bear the costs of blockages, either directly or indirectly. While the costs of clearing blockages on private property are paid for by owners, other citizens pay wastewater charges for the municipality’s pumping station and sewage treatment plant services. HSY authorities said having a trash bin in bathrooms can potentially save residents a lot of money in extra fees.

ETA: that Fauci is very much in danger of getting into conflict with the US President, and might be replaced.
