Reading the Republican coronavirus bill, you'd think the most important people in America are corporate CEOs. That is wrong.
Our essential workers include:
👩⚕️Health workers
🚚Delivery and warehouse workers
🥗Food workers
👷♀️Transit workers
We must put their needs ahead of CEOs.
It is stomach-churning that the first thoughts these Senators had to a dire & classified #COVID briefing was how to profit off this crisis.
They didn’t mobilize to help families, or prep response. They dumped stock.
Sen. Loeffler needs to resign, too. https://t.co/3lx1Bjt4be
Spread the word. PA has shut down textile mills— masks for our front liners are not going to be made without these textiles!!! Please help get these specifics essential mills reopened immediately for everyone’s safety!
@GovernorTomWolf Governor you must keep the textile mills open!!! Our medical staff cannot get through this if the fabrics for their masks are not being manufactured!!!

Good evening. Subways and buses will operate a weekday schedule tomorrow.
If you can stay home, do it. We’re here to get nurses, doctors, child care workers, first responders, transit workers + anyone else who needs us where they need to go.
Remember: Take care of one another
Thank God for our nurses, doctors and all first responders on the front line of NY’s fight against #Coronavirus. We owe them our deepest gratitude and thanks. They are heroes.
Hope all the hospitals follow suit, and keep our doctors and nurses unburdened with elective procedures, while they fight the good fight ! @nyphospital 👏
As of this a.m. NewYork-Presbyterian is postponing all elective surgeries at it's 13 hospitals to preserve beds/equipment/supplies for what's about to hit.
I sincerely hope *every* hospital in NYC is doing the same.
Concerned about #COVID19? #NYP's Virtual Urgent Care lets you see a board-certified physician from @ColumbiaMed or @WeillCornell right on your phone, tablet, or computer, seven days a week: https://t.co/sb18lXepJI
I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331.
I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY.
I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
You’re not just protecting yourself by working from home, minimizing travel, and washing your hands.
You’re protecting people in your community who may have a greater risk of complications from COVID-19 than you do.
We’re all in this together. Let’s act like it.
