@CastizoSolar @politico @BernieSanders @JoeBiden No one should make the mistake of confusing a speech disorder or normal human behaviors with cog impairment. It's #ageist #bullying and doesn't serve a purpose but to stifle all #humanpotential.

Here is Dr. Birx's reaction when President Trump asks his science advisor to study using UV light on the human body and injecting disinfectant to fight the coronavirus.

@jmugele There’s a term for it. #whiteprivilege

[Kristin Bonner @KbonnCt]

@DingusJMcGee If we think #socialisolation and loneliness among older adults is a problem now, try privatizing usps. Mail carriers are literally the only person some older adults see all day and usps plays a vital community service that others do not.

@fred_guttenberg @HomeDepot @realDonaldTrump Tell the truth please: regarding “losing sight” of COVID, Bernie Marcus said : "Everybody, *including the president* his eyes were on it also and we lost sight of what was really happening around the corner.” Marcus is *blaming* POTUS not abdicating him.

@alexsmith1982 @richeis315 Spoken by a grateful mortal who realizes now if not prior to his health crisis, that immigrants serve our national interests and will often risk their own lives to make ours better.

[Louise Aronson @LouiseAronson]

Must read. No question this is happening in US too. If you have a loved one in a care home or a conscience or both, speak up, act up, demand action & oversight & basic humanity. This is insane. #coronavirus #COVID__19 #COVIDー19 #COVID19 #aging #healthcare

If so, @amazon please use my refund toward supplying those who need it with more PPE.

[Chris D. Jackson @ChrisDJackson]

I wonder if @amazon plans on giving partial refunds or extensions of their Prime service since they have halted 2 day deliveries?

[Kristin Bonner @KbonnCt]

@ChrisDJackson The world literally just shut down. It makes sense to ask: what kind of world do we want to create when the lights go back on? As a progressive, I’m certainly asking the question.

[Dan Rather @DanRather]

The racial disparity in the deaths from this virus isn't just a side story. It's a big part of THE story in the United States. It should be investigated and covered in the main breadth of the COVID reporting. Poverty and inequality are pre-existing conditions.

@lifeofbryony So happy you’re here Bryony! Bring your peers; let’s have a multigenerational party!

“Older adults who identify as LGBT are twice as likely as non-LGBT to live by themselves, which, when coupled with an openly hostile political climate...plus a lifetime of discrimination, can create severe social isolation among this population.” https://t.co/IZBZLR4VrE

Wish everyone would read this. 2020: the year the world literally shut down. How will we change our world for the better when the lights go back on? “Prepare for the Ultimate Gaslighting*” by Julio Vincent Gambuto

In my book, I document how the Trump White House has arranged background briefings for reporters and sets ground rules that the names of officials giving the briefings cannot be used. When the president accuses reporters of making it up, the ground rules are broken. I name names

Happy birthday from Hartford CT Brandon. Did you ever expect to talk to so many people on your birthday? Your Dad’s a really great dad, Brandon!

[Jody Smith @JodySmithNFL]

This is my son, Brandon. Today is his 12th Birthday. I can’t give him the party he deserves but Brandon loves geography.

He would love it if you would RT or reply where you are so he can mark it on his map.

[Louise Aronson @LouiseAronson]

Guess why we don’t know how many old people are suffering & dying from #COVIDー19 ? Because th US doesn’t require reporting or track #CoronavirusOutbreak deaths in nursing homes. This is what inequality & immorality look like @CMSGov @SeemaCMS #geriatrics #BayArea

[Kristin Bonner @KbonnCt]

I never quite understood why people buy into a homeowners /neighborhood associations.

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Last week, we put out a call seeking volunteers among those with health care experience.

Now, we're asking the general public to get involved. Providers across Connecticut are seeking help from generous people needed for many other services.

Learn how: https://t.co/iBIxLyMWMI

[Governor Ned Lamont @GovNedLamont]

Our data suggests that 12,000 hospitalizations is the projected peak of the COVID-19 virus in Connecticut
