Great news. @IHME_UW updated its model again - two days after the last revision. Total deaths fell from 81K to under 61K hospitalizations fell from 140K to 90K (1/3 last week’s projection) m. The peak is now projected in 3 days. Can we PLEASE talk about reopening the nation?

If you watch one thing on Dems blocking coronavirus relief, make it this. The American people are losing their jobs left and right and Pelosi is holding them hostage with partisan demands.
This speech from @SenJohnBarrasso is worth every minute of your time.
