Bet she's still collecting a paycheck.
Just who the hell do they think will test 30 million people in one day? Even 3 million would be 60,000 tests a day in every state.

Sort of makes sense to me. Less driving equals less accidents equals less deaths and that goes for a variety of things. Social distancing is assuredly reducing the transmission of the flu and other bugs as well. It certainly isn't a long term solution to any of these issues but it is not surprising in the least. Heart attacks are down as well other stress related health issues at least for now until the economic pressure really build. Most people around us are not stressing to much yet as we seem to have a decent plan in Ohio and people are helping each other out. It shows that we can take better care of ourselves and reduce the stress we have inour lives. Hopefully many companies will see that many can work from home and keep that as an option going forward. Less traffic and less forced interactions isn't all bad.
Can someone explain to me how social distancing laws are occurring for the states that these celeb sNL folks are performing. You know full high end cameras, the full make up, dress as in studios. Hmmm.

It is always good to be first among equals, comrade.
They deem themselves necessities.
The cure..will be worse than the virus.
‘Biblical’ famines could double global hunger as a result of the coronavirus crisis, UN warns
Famines of “biblical proportions” are becoming a serious risk as the coronavirus crisis threatens to double the number of people nearing starvation, a U.N. body has warned.
In projections released Tuesday, the UN’s World Food Programme (WFP) predicted that the number of people facing “acute food insecurity” stood to rise to 265 million by the end of this year, up from 135 million in 2019.
That would mean an additional 130 million people were “living on the edge of starvation,” largely due to the economic impact of the coronavirus crisis, with wages, supply chains and humanitarian aid under pressure as a result of the outbreak.
The International Monetary Fund warned last week that the global economy was likely to experience the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression, predicting global growth would contract by 3% this year because of the virus.

Getting some Chinese take out. Pathetic. Entire walls is drop plastic like whe. You paint. People are frightened! ******* frightened to be close.
Thats unpossible. The media has been telling us how incredibly overwhelmed coroners and funeral homes have been for the past several weeks, what with bodies piled to the ceiling that they just don't have time to get to. Simply not possible that there have been FEWER bodies over the past 8-12 weeks than in past years. Don't believe it. Nope.

Well that is true in some areas and not in others. A lot of the deaths occur in clusters overwhelming the local infrastructure. If evenly spread that would be true. NYC has certainly seen a rise in deaths while other areas have seen an overall decrease.
it is never as simple or clean cut as either side of the argument trys to make it. Like with most things the truth is somewhere in the middle of both sides claims and rhetoric.
Docs pressured to add COVID as cause of death.

They've been an extended arm of the demoncrat party for.my entire life. My father used to point out the biased crap from them from early childhood on until the FOX network started up. You couldn't even get a conservative perspective until then. The media really went off the deep end when Obama got elected and haven't returned. What used to be liberalism turned to leftism full on. The schools went full indoctrination. The college's are filled with weak entitled little cupcakes. Evil is good and good is evil. All reinforced by government, media and education.
No wonder so many think so highly of socialism and communism when that's your main diet from childhood on.
Evil capitalism and the greedy rich who pay nothing. Speaking of rich...the Obama household is about bust the 1 billion dollar mark. I hope he's going above and beyond that fair share hope&change he spewed on and on about. Not bad for a couple disbarred lawyers.
....our media sucks ***.
Huh? Now this is WEIRD. I've been watching the MSM and they've frequently mentioned how badly hit Detroit has been (Wayne County). In fact, if you look at their #s, they have nearly 16,000 positive cases. So...two huge field hospitals were set up to brace for the overwhelming impact COVID was going to cause. The MSM told me this was going to happen. Hospitals would be OVERWHELMED.
Yet they are....vastly empty. Can anyone make sense of this?

Patient admissions still slow at TCF Center, Suburban Collection Showplace field hospitals
Both local field hospitals for coronavirus patients — at TCF Center in Detroit and Suburban Collection Showplace in Novi — are open and treating patients, but the pace of admissions has been slow.
At TCF Center, a nearly 1,000-bed field hospital in the former Cobo Convention Center, 14 patients were being treated Saturday and a total of 34 patients have received treatment at some point in the last two weeks. At Suburban, which opened for patients Friday, two patients were being treated at the 250-bed field hospital.
The two facilities were built by construction crews, skilled trades workers and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers to help ease a surge of coronavirus patients at southeast Michigan hospitals.
While many of those regular hospitals have been running at or near capacity during the coronavirus crisis, some of the health care facilities are seeing declining numbers. Detroit Medical Center, Hurley Medical Center in Flint and Trinity Health in Livonia were at 81% capacity or higher.
Suburban had been planned as a 1,100-bed field hospital, but the state scaled back after hospital admissions started declining. Another planned field hospital at an indoor track at the University of Michigan was put on hold for the same reason.
TCF is staffed with military medical personnel and health care professionals from some of the hospitals in southeast Michigan. Ascension Michigan and St. Joseph Mercy Health System are providing the medical care at the Suburban field hospital.
The facilities are designed for patients who have had symptoms of coronavirus for at least 10 days and have been hospitalized for at least 48 hours, which is enough time to determine whether they’ll need more intensive care and a ventilator. Those more seriously ill patients will stay in the hospital, while those transferred to TCF and Suburban still need care, but don’t need a ventilator.

Every good thing that happens is proof that the government lockdown works. Every bad thing that happens is because of Trump.

In another good American Thinker article,......The Wuhan virus reveals the rot in America’s Democrat-run cities
Andrea Widburg explains how we are being made to suffer for New York city's mistakes.
Locking down America just because New York City is having problems is a bad idea. He thinks the problem is that New York is so densely populated. What he misses is that Mayor de Blasio's and Gov. Cuomo's policies exacerbated the virus. They are the poster boys for why Democrats should never have power.
The Wuhan virus is not an American problem. It’s primarily a New York problem, followed by a handful of other Democrat-run cities:
As of Friday, there have been more Covid-19 fatalities on Long Island’s Nassau County (population 1.4 million) than in all of California (population 40 million). There have been more fatalities in Westchester County (989) than in Texas (611). The number of Covid deaths per 100,000 residents in New York City (132) is more than 16 times what it is in America’s next largest city, Los Angeles (8). If New York City proper were a state, it would have suffered more fatalities than 41 other states combined.
Probably the worst decision governor Cuomo made was to force New York’s nursing homes to accept people who tested positive for the Wuhan virus. The people most vulnerable to the Wuhan virus are the elderly and the sick, so this decision turned nursing homes into charnel houses:
That wasn’t all. Despite all the talk about social distancing, de Blasio never did anything to stop the subways from running. Instead, he made things worse by decreasing the number of trains, forcing more crowding:
The rest of America shouldn’t suffer because of New York’s pathetic leadership.

The food supply chain is breaking,' Tyson says as plants close
By Rob McLean, CNN Business
Updated 11:11 PM EDT, Sun April 26, 2020
New York(CNN Business) Tyson Foods (TSN) is warning that "millions of pounds of meat" will disappear from the supply chain as the coronavirus pandemic pushes food processing plants to close, leading to product shortages in grocery stores across the country.
"The food supply chain is breaking," wrote board chairman John Tyson in a full-page advertisement published Sunday in The New York Times, Washington Post and Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
Meat processing plants across the US are closing due to the pandemic. Will consumers feel the impact?

US farmers don't have anywhere to sell their livestock, he said, adding that "millions of animals — chickens, pigs and cattle — will be depopulated because of the closure of our processing facilities."

Yep. I said it before and I’ll say it again. As soon as people get hungry, we are in big, big trouble.

If someone is asymptomatic but contagious, are they healthy?
Aren’t there suspected millions of such people?
Did someone mention the need for widespread testing?
so --- you're suggesting there are millions and millions and millions of people out there not only showing symptoms of covid, but are in fact carriers of covid.
how many deaths now?
you really need to figure out which side of the argument you're on.
we were assured that closing of meat processing plants has nothing at all, not one single iota, to do with Covid. Fake news. please, move on.

Nothing to do with the shelter in place shutdown of businesses, everything to do with COVID. What is so hard to understand about that?
So the hospitals and nursing homes that have COVID patients and staff need to shut down? No wait we are essential. But....isn’t....food essential
