Congress painstakingly approved a more than $900 billion stimulus package to keep Americans afloat during the coronavirus pandemic. Aside from a $600 one-time payment (will it be $2,000), there are other things in the bill you may want to know about.
We’re going to show you what’s in ihe stimulus package for you.
Although a first wave of payments in April 2020 came and went, millions of Americans are still hurting financially and need monetary aid.
Here Are The Stimulus Package Details
A co-author of the $908 billion package, Sen. Joe Manchin, D-West Virginia, told the media in early December that lawmakers were close to approving a $600 stimulus to Americans in need. But there was much debate over certain add-ons that President Trump wanted inside the bill, including spending for a border wall.
Many critics have slammed the $600 stimulus as a slap in the face, but others are grateful for any paltry sum.
Here is what the stimulus package includes:
- $600 direct payment to most Americans
- $300 additional pay for unemployment benefits
- Reopening of the Small Business Loan Program
- Moratorium extension of eviction protection
- Aid for nutrition assistance
- Aid for child care and schools
“We made major headway toward hammering out a bipartisan relief package,” said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Kentucky, told reporters.
With many workers still preparing for layoffs, lawmakers are poised to approve more stimulus money down the road in 2021.

BQE Restaurant & Lounge
262 Edgewood Ave. NE, Atlanta, 404-996-6159
Here’s what one reviewer says about BQE Restaurant: “The service at the bar was great and the food was delicious. Georgia is unique in a way as they are regulated to selling alcohol after 11am. If you are wanting the bottomless mimosas, please make a reservation, as you cannot order the bottomless mimosa at the BAR! That’s right makes no sense to me either!”
Escobar Restaurant & Tapas
327 Peters St. SW, Atlanta, GA 30313 404-941-7907
Here’s what one reviewer says about Escobar: “The food was excellent! The hosts are gorgeous! The atmosphere is amazing! The drinks are strong! And this place is all out worth you spending some time to enjoy yourself.”

Here’s what one reviewer says about Pancake Social: “Very clean inside, all the staff wore masks and were very helpful and polite. The food was so fresh! I had the pancake special and the eggs were generous, and creamy! The mimosa was strong! Very good and the pancake was perfect- they are large and not too thick, so one was just enough to eat. Will be back!”

Here’s what one reviewer says about Patria Cocina: “Off the charts. Went here with my family for my birthday and everything I put in my mouth was ridiculously delicious. The Cozuela margarita was beautifully presented in a bowl with half a grapefruit, orange, and lime. One of the best cocktails I’ve ever had. Chicken enchiladas and guacamole were both crazy good. First time visiting but definitely not the last.”

Here is what one reviewer says about the Flying Biscuit: “The grits here are amazing (and I usually don’t like grits) but they are the best thing that we had. The jelly is great tasting also but unfortunately the biscuits are hard and dry and I only used some of it to get the jelly in my mouth. The restaurant could use a thorough cleaning. Be aware that they do require masks and one of the staff was telling customers to get a mask on. That took a star off for me.”

Here’s what one reviewer says of Gus’s hot chicken: “Every year I have the pleasure of visiting Atlanta for a cheer competition. Well we stumbled into Gus’s one night when we were starved & it was the best decision we made. Every year I cannot wait to go back to Atlanta just for Gus’s chicken . The chicken is dredged through a heavenly concoction of spices and flour that just set your tastebuds wild. The chicken can be spicy to some lightweights like my daughter, but it barely even sends alarms to me & sister. It is worth the visit any time you are near Atlanta. You will never find better fried chicken. Let’s talk about the Mac n cheese. Oh my gosh, such delicious creamy cheesy goodness. The beans are good as well, but nothing compares to that Mac!”

Before he won the presidency and while he was a Democratic presidential candidate, Joe Biden visited Atlanta in June 2019, meeting with several luminaries in the city as part of a political jaunt.
Biden, the former U.S. vice president, was campaigning to challenge President Trump for the White House in the 2020 race.
Joe Biden visited Atlanta And Ate At This Soul Food Restaurant
Atlanta is a heavily Democratic base for Biden, despite the staunchly Republican leanings of many in the northern suburbs.
Biden met with Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms and was shepherded around town to many of the city’s favorite haunts.
There was the customary lunch at Busy Bee’s on Martin Luther King Boulevard, as well as other stops.
It was great to be back in Atlanta! Thank you to Mayor @KeishaBottoms for showing me around town and for your work expanding opportunity to every corner of the city. pic.twitter.com/kmhmeN5lHm
— Joe Biden (@JoeBiden) June 10, 2019Now, Busy Bee has somehow become, like, a testing ground for visiting politicians who are about to launch a campaign. Not that long ago, rapper Killer Mike brought Bernie Sanders to the joint during the 2016 election for some fried chicken.
What was not known was whether Biden had the chicken, collard greens or fried fish. Atlanta has so many soulful restaurants to choose from.
Atlanta has a lot of inspirational people and AtlantaFi.com is going to introduce you to many of them as well as cool places to go, great restaurants and other ATL happenings.

Are you looking for information on where you can get the COVID-19 vaccine in Atlanta? We’re going to tell you everything you need to know.
The COVID-19 vaccine is being distributed to all 50 states. Hospitals and medical facilities are the first priority of the 3 million initial doses that are rolling out.
By year’s end, the U.S. government plans to have 300 million doses distributed across the country. They hope that by springtime 2021, the majority of Americans will have access to the vaccine.
This article will be updated with the latest information as we learn of it.
Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp updated the public on the vaccine rollout in Georgia, saying, “[The Georgia Department of Public Health] and our team are ready to assist in getting the vaccine out to our most vulnerable Georgians and those fighting this virus on the front lines.”
Have COVID-19 Vaccine Vials Arrived In Atlanta?
COVID-19 vaccine vials were shipped into Atlanta and arrived the morning of Monday, Dec. 15. FedEx is handling the shipments to Georgia’s capital city. The shipments come from a Michigan facility, which is the origin point to handle shipping logistics of distributing the vials throughout the nation.
The vaccine vials are all freezer-packed because of their delicate nature and capacity to destabilize at room temperature.
According to the Georgia Department of Health, the handling requirements for each vaccine product will vary from refrigerated (2° to 8° C) to frozen (-20°C) to ultra-cold (-60° to -80°C) temperatures.
Who Will Get The Vaccine?
You may be wondering who is eligible for the vaccine in Georgia and how it will be rolled out. This is the plan, according to the federal government’s COVID-19 immunization program, Operation Warp Speed.
Phase One:
- People over age 60 with health problems
- Health care workers
- Firefighters, EMTs and other first responders
Phase Two:
- Essential workers (grocery associates, jail staff, truck drivers, etc.)
- School and child care workers
- Anyone age 60 and older with underlying conditions
Phase Three
- Those aged 21 to 30
- Moderately Exposed Industries (Hairstylists, tattoo artists, etc.)
Phase Four
Anyone else for whom the vaccine is recommended.
The CDC says that the list of groups listed in each phase is by no means all-inclusive and will be revised based on developments that arise.
What Kind Of Vaccine Has Been Shipped To Atlanta?
Atlanta may be getting different types of vaccines, but as of this writing, the city is getting the Pfizer-BioNtech vaccine, which is the first to be approved by the Food and Drug Administration.
The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 is for use in people 16 years of age and older. The vaccine is only authorized for emergency use for as long as the pandemic lasts.
Last Words
Some vaccinations will require two doses for the patient to be inoculated. This will require that you more than likely place a reminder for the second dose due date in your smartphone calendar or a similar place.
The Department of Public Health will use the Georgia Registry of Immunization Transactions and Services (GRITS) to collect data on COVID-19 vaccine doses administered rom health providers.

You’ve applied for the job and added your resume online and studied the top interview tips. Now you’re just waiting for your would-be employer to call you. Here’s how to prepare for a job interview in Atlanta.
You’re going to earn that job and get hired because you’re going to be prepare on the interview. Here’s how to do it.
How To Prepare For A Job Interview
No matter if you have a job interview planned with Home Depot in Smyrna, CNN downtown or with the CDC off Clifton Road in the middle of Atlanta, you need to know how to win the interview. The size of the company shouldn’t matter: If you’re ready, you’re ready.
The key is to prepare yourself well before the day of the interview. Here are five steps to do it:
1. Research The Company
To build confidence in what you know about the company you’re hiring with, you need to research it. Take your time to read up on the organization.
The only way to get comfortable is to know what you’re talking about. Some questions may be about the company’s history or recent accomplishments. Do your homework.
2. Write A Script
Write out a script of what you’re going to say on the interview. This is not a time to leave your answers and articulation to guesswork. If you actually write out what you’re going to say, it will do wonders for your nerves.
Writing out an interview script will also allow you to anticipate the pace of the conversation and where to take it.
3. Match The Job Description With Your Skills
Clearly match what the job description says and how your skills match up. The interviewer won’t be the one that ties yours skills with the requirements of the job — that’s your job.
4. Have Specific Examples Of Your Accomplishments
Don’t rely on your resume to tell your narrative. Be prepared to itemize your accomplishments in a way that brings it home. Talk about that time you saved your previous employer thousands of dollars. Mention that promotion and why you got it.
5. Anticipate The Interviewer’s Questions
The interviewer will have a set of questions that you need to be prepared for. Typically they will ask you about how you handled a less than ideal situation. They may also ask you what you feel your biggest weakness is. You’ll want to mention something that you’ve since corrected.
6. Finish Strong
As the interview nears to its conclusion, remember to smile often. Accentuate your strongest points. Gesture in the affirmative and look the interviewer in the eye when it’s appropriate.
At the end, always give a firm handshake. And always, always send a thank-you note or email a day or two after the interview.
What Are Some Signs That Your Interview Went Well?
You may be wondering after the interview if it went well. Some signs that would indicate that are:
- The interviewer tells you that it went well.
- Your references were contacted.
- Your thank-you email is well received.
