Here's unfettered capitalism at work. Jeff Bezos, the owner of Amazon, has increased his wealth by $30 billion during the pandemic. His response: end the hazard pay increases that Amazon warehouse workers have received, despite hundreds of them being infected with the virus.

Here’s an idea: As we prepare to reopen we should listen to public health experts rather than profit-hungry CEO’s.

BREAKING: President Obama calls Trump’s coronavirus response "an absolute chaotic disaster.”

[United Nations Geneva @UNGeneva]

6 criteria for relaxing #COVID19 measures recommended by @WHO:

1. Strong surveillance system
2. Health system has necessary capacities
3. Minimized outbreak risks
4. Preventive measures in place
5. Importation risks are manageable
6. Communities are educated, engaged & empowered

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

"As more & more countries consider how to ease so-called lockdown restrictions, I want to reiterate the 6⃣ criteria that WHO recommends countries consider:

1⃣that surveillance is strong, #COVID19 cases are declining & transmission is controlled"-@DrTedros

The men who murdered Ahmaud Arbery must be held accountable and there must justice for Ahmaud's family. There is no doubt in my mind that Ahmaud would be alive today if he were white.

Trump has zero issues watchin' death tolls soar in our urban areas because he know that represents Democratic voters. Trump is weaponizin' the global pandemic as the ultimate voter suppression tool.

[Rep. Ilhan Omar @Ilhan]

We have now lost nearly 70,000 Americans to the coronavirus.

That’s more Americans than we lost on September 11th, and the wars in Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq combined.

Let’s allow ourselves to grieve and never lose sight of the depth of this tragedy.

[Jagmeet Singh @theJagmeetSingh]

Let’s be clear about tax havens:

1) They're only used by millionaires & billionaires,

2) They're designed for one purpose - to avoid paying taxes.

If billionaires & millionaires want to avoid paying their fair share to the public,

Then they don't deserve help from the public.

If you ever wonder why @stephenharper @AndrewScheer & @jkenney lack empathy and act like pre-programmed ideologues detached from the human condition, please meet they grandpa and spiritual leader. #ableg #cdnpoli

[Andrea Horwath @AndreaHorwath]

It‘s shocking to hear Mr. Ford throw Public Health leaders under the bus. He determines how many public health units & labs we have, & their funding. He spent the last year battling these orgs to make cuts to them. The buck stops with Ford, it’s his responsibility to fix this.

[Scott Dworkin @funder]

Trump says he’s ending the coronavirus task force. At the height of the pandemic. Because he’s a sociopath.

[Chuck Schumer @SenSchumer]

It's May 5th, and President Trump still doesn’t have an adequate national testing strategy.

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

At a time when his own administration is predicting a significant increase in COVID-19 cases, our "stable genius" president is winding down his coronavirus task force. This is a true American tragedy. Thousands will unnecessarily die because of Trump's contempt for science.

[Kamala Harris @KamalaHarris]

Coronavirus deaths are projected to hit 3,000 people per day by June—that’s the number of people we lost during 9/11. Every. Single. Day.

Reminder: This full-blown public health crisis didn’t have to happen. But Trump and his administration failed Americans.

[Scott Hechinger @ScottHech]

This is Susan Farrell. The first woman to die of COVID in Michigan prison. She was 74. Served over 30 years for allegedly killing her husband, who sexually & physically abused her. Just heard from her bunkmate, who alerted guards. They put her in solitary for it. It's even worse:

[Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders]

We need to cancel rent and cancel mortgages for the duration of this crisis.
