In NYC, there have been 300 cases a day for the past month. And yet we still don't know crucial information. For how many was the source of infection identified? What's the average time from a positive test to isolation? Are cases isolating? Are their contacts quarantining?

[Krysten D'Arienzo @WIFEofARIENZO]

@NYBATs @MOREcaucusUFT This happened to a Long Island private school last week (I work there). A student came in contact with a positive case, quarantined as per admin. Admin neglected 2 tell teacher. The parents told teacher ANDDDD teacher quit bc she has an immune compromised husband@home.

[NY BATs @NYBATs]

COME TO FIND: During the first week of in-person school, a NYC student attended class two days, then got symptoms + tested positive. Teachers found out a week later from the parents, not the DOH or ⁦DOE.

Others parents found out via today’s NY Post. https://t.co/3kqrnscLMp

"White House officials pressured the CDC this summer to downplay the risk of sending children back to school, a strikingly political intervention in one of the most sensitive public health debates of the pandemic"

"The effort included Birx..and..Pence"

"The vast majority had previously been fit, young individuals. But many are now wondering if they'll ever be well again."

[Utah COVID-19 Long Haulers @UTc19LongHaul]

These weren't people who'd been left fighting for life on a ventilator. Some had barely any symptoms of Covid-19 infection at first, and none had to be admitted to hospital. 
Yet most are now more affected by their post-Covid symptoms than when they had the infection.

The doctors still crippled by Covid-19 six months after they caught it: None of these medics were hospitalised after catching coronavirus yet they've all been struck by 'long Covid' - raising alarming questions about its lasting effects

965 patients responded to the survey by Kyungpook Univ. Hospital, in one of the areas hardest hit by the coronavirus early in South Korea's outbreak. 879 of them, or just over 91%, reported at least one lasting effect post-recovery.

[Victoria Kim @vicjkim]

More than 90% of patients recovered from covid-19 said in a South Korean survey they were suffering from residual effects after having been cleared of the virus.

Fatigue (26.2%), inability to focus (24.6%), psychological damage and loss of taste or smell were among the symptoms.

Bigger story than Trump’s taxes is that Pentagon funneled $1 billion of COVID-19 relief money to the war industry contractors. What are you going to do about it, Congress?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Donald Trump isn’t alone. The richest 1% of Americans is responsible for 70% of all unpaid taxes.

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Trump's not alone. Over a three-year period, the top 1% avoided $800 billion in taxes. That's enough to:

🎓Make public colleges tuition-free
👩‍👦‍👦Eliminate child hunger
🚰Provide clean drinking water to all
🏡End homelessness

Yes. The 1% have got to pay their fair share of taxes.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

Trump’s tax returns tell us that he's either a very bad businessman or a tax cheat—likely both.

But more importantly, it shows how the wealthy, unlike most Americans, are able to avoid paying taxes.

The top 1% is responsible for 70% of unpaid taxes.

It's time to tax the rich.

[Public Citizen @Public_Citizen]

Speaking of avoiding taxes, here's what a few corporations paid in federal income tax in 2018:

Amazon: $0
Chevron: $0
Delta: $0
Deere: $0
Eli Lilly: $0
GM: $0
Goodyear: $0
Halliburton: $0
IBM: $0
JetBlue: $0
Molson Coors: $0
Netflix: $0

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Yes. Trump's not alone.

Federal income taxes paid by corporations a year after his tax plan was signed into law:

$0: Amazon
$0: GM
$0: Netflix
$0: Chevron
$0: FedEx
$0: Eli Lilly
$0: Starbucks

Dr. King was right. We have socialism for the rich, rugged capitalism for the rest.
