Try to do something this week to help someone else in a way that has nothing to do with politics. It will make you feel better. And it will be a small but measurable step in helping heal our world.
So I’m a cashier at Giant Eagle Market District and today there was a lady who put $50 on a Giant Eagle gift card. People buy gift cards all the time...
But before she left she handed me the gift card and said, “this is for you, thank you for working during this this time”.
We are asking businesses -- beginning immediately to take the temperature of every single employee every day before they come to work. We're asking them to be aggressive in regard to cleaning surfaces and having soap/hand sanitizer available. Send employees home who are sick.
.@DrAmyActon: I know it is hard to understand #COVID19 since we can't see it, but we know that 1% of our population is carrying this virus today -- that's over 100,000 people.
The worst part is Covid-19 could really spread as widely as the flu, and it could be twice as contagious.
That’s because it seems the virus can spread quite a bit before symptoms occur, though how much is still up in the air https://t.co/bCyOeedRAy
During the severe flu season of 2017-18 there were 61,099 flu-related deaths and 44.8 million cases in the U.S.
A Covid-19 outbreak of similar size in the U.S. with a 1% death rate results in some scary numbers:
600,000 deaths
8 million hospitalizations

EXCLUSIVE:
For weeks, thousands of flu samples sat in Seattle as researchers sought to test and flag them for coronavirus. The C.D.C. wouldn’t allow it.
When testing did happen, it was too late. The virus was upon us.

Been hearing a lot about ‘the media’ causing #coronavirus hysteria among people. Italy didn’t shut down because of ‘the media’. The Dow isn’t volatile because of ‘the media’. Making people distrust facts and information during a health crisis is dangerous. The end.
