So why is the president talking about lifting restrictions in certain areas . Don, let me start with the good news. It appears that the president is not going to do that. Hes been trying to back away from that prospect, which he held out a few days ago. In his comments today that we want to reopen safe. Expressing uncertainty about the easter timeline suggests that. But as for why he felt the need to hold out that prospect, i think hes afraid. This is a president whose selfimage is caught up in the idea that hes produced economic success. When he launched his reelection campaign, the Strong Economy was his principal asset. Now, the response to coronavirus is eroding that. You had huge surge in joblessness this week. Thats going to continue for a while. Were in a recession so that feels very bad to him. And, as for coronavirus, it has exposed his lack of interest and aptitude for governing. He skated by for more than three years without a serious crisis as president. Now, one is upon hi

Which some people are good at, some people are not. So i have chosen to wear a hat because i dont want to butcher my own haircut. But its going to be a long time. And now that i learned what im in for, im more comfortable. And now i see why it takes people out, you have to
Surpassed 50,000 worldwide. That includes 5,000 here in the u. S. And the numbers of dead and sick mount, so do the strain and stress of medical workers. Listen to the nurses from the hospital in the bronx, one who tested positive for the virus. A few days ago, tested positive for covid19. Im coming back now. Make people sicker. Its outrageous. We need to stand against this outrageous, hospital administrators, politicians, and all the health care agencies. Every day when i go to work, i feel like a sheep going to slaughter. My colleagues and i are writing our last will and testament. I am 28 years old. We fear we may not survive this pandemic and yet we show up every day to this hospital to take care of our community. We dont ask of our servicemen and women to go to war without means to protect themselves. Or policemen to work without bulletproof vests, so why, why are we asking nurses to enter rooms with reused masks . Because we dont have enough supplies . Then i say, make the suppli
