CNN’s Chris Cuomo tests positive for COVID-19
The anchor said he will continue to host his show, "Cuomo Prime Time," from his basement.
(The same place his rating are)
-----------------------
CNN anchor Chris Cuomo announced Tuesday that he has tested positive for the novel coronavirus.
Cuomo, whose brother is New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, said he will continue to host his show, “Cuomo Prime Time,” from his basement where he has quarantined himself from his family.
The CNN journalist said he had recently been exposed to people who later tested positive for COVID-19, and he began experiencing shortness of breath, fever, and chills.
“We will all beat this by being smart and tough and united!” he wrote.
The New York governor reportedly addressed his brother’s positive test results Tuesday during a press briefing on the outbreak, saying he would “be fine.”
On Monday night, Chris Cuomo interviewed his brother on his show, apparently from his basement, and asked him if he had plans to run for president.
“No,” his older brother replied.

Capitalizing on..."When it bleeds it leads"
US coronavirus death toll tops 3,000 with more now dead than in 9/11 as health experts predict the worse is yet to come
When it hits 37,000 like it did last year.
This was the first known case of Coronavirus. Again, those dying from Coronavirus are on par with those dying in car accidents.

But he knows far more than I ever will so I'll give the man his due. I'm not trying to minimize the loss just trying to put some perspective on it. Even if he's right out of 333,000,000 million people and 200,000 die that would be (if I calculated it right in my cell phone) 0.0600600601% of the population.
All the fear mongering hype is over people who died... not the multitudes who recovered. What have we learned through all this?
What happens when we're introduced to a new strain of flu next year? Are we through all this again?
All stay well.

Trump Reportedly Wants His Signature on Coronavirus Stimulus Checks
And why not?
Great 'ammunition' for his campaign.
Getting this postcard the other day from the CDC doesn't hurt either.
I'm telling ya...honest Abe could run against Trump and still lose.

President Donald Trump signed into law a record $2.2 trillion stimulus bill on Friday to help boost the economy and help push resources to health care providers amid the coronavirus crisis. The bill is the largest package to bring relief to business and individuals that has ever been approved in the country’s history and Trump seemed to be in awe of the final price tag when he was signing the bill. “I never signed anything with a T on it,” he said.
Even though the president thanked “Democrats and Republicans for coming together and putting America first,” it seems he wants Americans to thank him for any checks they receive. Trump has told people he wants his signature to appear on the direct payment checks, an administration official told the Wall Street Journal. A civil servant would normally sign the checks.
The House gave nearly unanimous support for the stimulus bill in a voice vote earlier in the day Friday after the Senate passed the bill unanimously Wednesday. “Today we’ve all acknowledged our nation faces an economic and health emergency of historic proportions,” said House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif.
The measure awards checks of $1,200 to most Americans and increases jobless benefits while businesses will get loans, tax breaks, and other benefits. Individual Americans will get $1,200 and couples up to $2,400 plus $500 per child. The direct payments would start to be phased out for those who make more than $75,000 and those who make more than $99,000 would not receive any checks (the thresholds double for married couples). Even though Trump seems to want his signatures on the checks, many Americans may not see checks at all. Those who have authorized the IRS to send their tax refund over direct deposit over the past two years are likely to get the stimulus cash the same way. And millions of low-wage workers may never actually receive a check or it could be delayed for months because they don’t normally file tax returns to the IRS each year.

Not one dime for the wall in 2 trillion stimulus package
Certainly, the possibility exists people who have Coronavirus entering this country illegally could infect thousands of Americans. But that seems to be of no concern. 6 billion is 0.3% of 2,000,000,000,000. Small price to pay for our security in the scheme of things. When this eventually gets out of the House wait to you see the 'pork' in the final version that has nothing to do with Coronavirus... but they turn a blind eye to the wall.

This is one example of the jiu jitsu those no-good bastards put in the stimulus:
Require states to allow same-day voter registration and no longer request the last four digits of social security numbers.
In other words, the Dems are saying...
We want illegals to vote because we know they'll vote for us.
How people stand for this shit I'll never know!

Michelle Obama reveals her family's daily quarantine routine
Michelle Obama has revealed that her family is keeping busy with conference calls, online classes, and Netflix as they work to keep a routine while quarantined at home amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The 56-year-old former first lady shared what she has been up to in recent weeks while chatting on the phone on Monday with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who shared a video of their conversation on social media.
'We're just trying to structure our days,' she said of her husband, Barack, and daughters, Malia and Sasha. 'Everybody's home — the girls are back because colleges are online, so they're off in their respective rooms doing their online classes.'
All together: Michelle Obama has revealed that she and her family have been keeping busy with online classes, conference calls, and Netflix while quarantined together
Gotta say their youngest daughter is looking hot.
Residence: Michelle, 56, and Barack, 58, are likely hunkering down with their daughters Malia, 21, and Sasha, 18, in their Washington, D.C. home (pictured)
'I think Barack is — I don't know where he is. He was on the phone on a conference call; I just got finished with a conference call,' she added. 'We're just trying to keep a routine going, but we've also got a little Netflix and chilling happening.'
The Obamas are likely self-quarantining at their Washington, D.C. home, which is located just a few blocks away from Ivanka Trump's residence in the ritzy Kalorama neighborhood.
Ellen couldn't resist ribbing Michelle about having both of her daughters back under her roof after enjoying an empty nest for just seven months.
'My condolences that the kids are home, because you were expressing how happy you were that they were gone,' the talk show host said.
'I know! I shouldn’t have boasted about that,' Michelle joked. 'The gods were getting me back.'
Malia, 21, is a junior at Harvard University, where both her parents studied law, and Sasha, 18, is believed to be a freshman at the University of Michigan, though the family has never confirmed what college she is attending.

Old pal: Michelle shared what she has been up to in recent weeks while chatting on the phone with talk show host Ellen DeGeneres, who posted a video of their conversation on social media
The youngest Obama was reportedly seen taken freshman orientation classes at the school over the summer.
Jokes aside, Ellen noted that this is a time to reflect on what's important, and Michelle wholeheartedly agreed.
'This is like no other time in history, particularly for our kids who are so used to being occupied and stimulated all the time,' she said. 'There is some good and bad that goes with it.
'I feel for all the folks who are going to suffer because of what's going to happen to the economy,' she added. 'We have to be mindful about what we're going to do to support these folks when this quarantine is over and people are looking at what's left of their businesses and their lives.'
However, she explained that there is a 'positive side' to hunkering down at home with loved ones during the global crisis.
Staying positive: Ellen noted that this is a time to reflect on what's important, and Michelle wholeheartedly agreed. Michelle is pictured on Ellen's talk show in 2018
New routine: Michelle said the one positive is that the quarantine has forced her family to sit down together and have real conversations
'I know for us, it's forced us to continue to sit down with each other, have real conversations, really ask questions and figure out how to keep ourselves occupied without just TV or computers,' she said. 'It's a good exercise in reminding us that we just don't need a lot of the stuff that we have.'
Michelle stressed that when times are bad, it's a reminder that 'having each other' and 'having your health' are what's most important.
'We can do with a lot less. I think that's an important lesson I want my kids to understand as they get out there the world,' she said. 'Be grateful for what you have and be ready to share it when the time comes because that's really what it's all about.
'Now, we're just happy that we're together and everybody is healthy and safe,' she added. 'Who cares about the other stuff?'
Michelle and Ellen also revealed that they have both been working out daily while cooped up at home.
The comedian challenged the former first lady to a plank-holding contest, saying they could do as a charity event to raise money, but Michelle told her to not get ahead of herself.
'We'll cross that bridge when you feel like you're in shape,' she said.

The Coronavirus May Make Trump Stronger
On a tip from Phil McCafferty
Gallup finds 60% of voters approve of his handling of the crisis. As usual, the establishment is clueless.

This is not what his critics expected. At 49% overall job approval in the latest Gallup poll, and with 60% approval of the way he is handling the coronavirus epidemic, President Trump’s standing with voters has improved even as the country closed down and the stock market underwent a historic meltdown. That may change as this unpredictable crisis develops, but bitter and often justified criticism of Mr. Trump’s decision making in the early months of the pandemic has so far failed to break the bond between the 45th president and his political base.
One reason Mr. Trump’s opponents have had such a hard time damaging his connection with voters is that they still don’t understand why so many Americans want a wrecking-ball presidency. Beyond attributing Mr. Trump’s support to a mix of racism, religious fundamentalism and profound ignorance, the president’s establishment opponents in both parties have yet to grasp the depth and intensity of the populist energy that animates his base and the Bernie Sanders movement.
The sheer number of voters in open political rebellion against centrist politics is remarkable. Adding the Sanders base (36% of the Democratic vote in the latest Real Clear Politics poll average, or roughly 13% of the national vote considering that about 45%of voters lean Democratic) to the core Trump base of roughly 42%, and around 55% of U.S. voters now support politicians who openly despise the central assumptions of the political establishment.
That a majority of the electorate is this deeply alienated from the establishment can’t be dismissed as bigotry and ignorance. There are solid and serious grounds for doubting the competence and wisdom of America’s self-proclaimed expert class. What is so intelligent and enlightened, populists ask, about a foreign-policy establishment that failed to perceive that U.S. trade policies were promoting the rise of a hostile Communist superpower with the ability to disrupt supplies of essential goods in a national emergency? What competence have the military and political establishments shown in almost two decades of tactical success and strategic impotence in Afghanistan? What came of that intervention in Libya? What was the net result of all the fine talk in the Bush and Obama administrations about building democracy in the Middle East?
On domestic policy, the criticism is equally trenchant and deeply felt. Many voters believe that the U.S. establishment has produced a health-care system that is neither affordable nor universal. Higher education saddles students with increasing debt while leaving many graduates woefully unprepared for good jobs in the real world. The centrist establishment has amassed unprecedented deficits without keeping roads, bridges and pipes in good repair. It has weighed down cities and states with unmanageable levels of pension debt.
The culture of social promotion and participation trophies is not, populists feel, confined to U.S. kindergartens and elementary schools. Judging by performance, they conclude that people rise in the American establishment by relentless virtue-signaling; by going along with conventional wisdom, however foolish; and by forgiving the failures of others and having their own overlooked in return.
The blame game playing out over how the president has handled the coronavirus epidemic reflects the dynamics of this struggle. Mr. Trump’s establishment critics want a narrow fight over the dismal trail of bluster, evasions, missed opportunities and failed predictions that marked the president’s approach to the virus earlier in the year. Like many criticisms of Mr. Trump, these arguments against him are by and large correct and significant and it is part of the proper job of a free press to make them.
However, Mr. Trump’s supporters are not comparing him with an omniscient leader who always does the right thing, but with the establishment—including the bulk of the mainstream media—that largely backed a policy of engagement with China long after its pitfalls became clear. For Americans who lost their jobs to Chinese competition or who fear the possibility of a new cold war against an economically potent and technologically advanced power, Mr. Trump’s errors pale before those of the bipartisan American foreign-policy consensus.
The establishment’s massive, decadeslong failure to think through the consequences of empowering Communist China and creating a trading relationship that, among other things, left the U.S. dependent on Beijing for pharmaceuticals is a much less excusable and more consequential error than anything Donald Trump has done in 2020—and it has a direct bearing on the mess we are in.
Attacks on the establishment aren’t always rational or fair. They can be one-sided and fail to do justice to the accomplishments the U.S. has made in the recent past. Populism on both the left and the right always attracts its share of snake-oil salesmen, and America’s current antiestablishment surge is no exception. But the U.S. establishment won’t prosper again until it comes to grip with a central political fact: Populism rises when establishment leadership fails. If conventional U.S. political leaders had been properly doing their jobs, Donald Trump would still be hosting a television show.
Unless the president’s opponents take the full measure of this public discontent, they will be continually surprised by his resilience against media attacks. And until the establishment undertakes a searching and honest inventory of the tangled legacy of American foreign and domestic policy since the end of the Cold War, expect populism to remain a potent part of the political scene.

The latest statistic… the chance of you dying from Corona has been bumped up to 1.3% from 1%!
823 dead...getting pretty close to a holiday weekend in Chicago.
He later apologized... but maybe he was right?
2020 vs 2019
So if my math is correct out of 333 million Americans (so far) your chances of dying from Corona are 1 out of 425,287.
Last year 37,000 died of the flu which put your odds of dying at 1 out of 9,000 and nobody said boo.
Could be wrong but doubt we'er going to approach 37,000. So the question is why were we not under house arrest in 2019?

Don't know if this is true or not
But if it is you would never heard about it from the MSM.
It’s Barack Obama's Fault There’s a Shortage of N95 Respirator Masks
Last week Bloomberg published a story about the mask shortages and how that was making it difficult for hospital workers in various states to take alternative measures to help protect themselves during the coronavirus pandemic, including making masks out of office supplies, and taking masks home to bleach them so they can be reused. It paints a horrible picture of chaos in our nation’s hospitals, and attempts to blame the problem on the Trump administration, because the Strategic National Stockpile, which is maintained by the Health and Human Services Department, is insufficient for the current crisis.
Back in 2005, the Bush administration published the “National Strategy for Pandemic Influenza.” The strategy called for plans to distribute medical supplies from the national stockpile and to assist state and local efforts to handle an outbreak, but last month, Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar told Congress that the national stockpile of N95 respirator masks was 12 million—a mere fraction of the 1.7 billion masks government scientists estimated back in 2015 would be needed in the event of a severe flu outbreak.
How did we end up with such a low stockpile? It used to be much larger. What happened to it?
Buried several paragraphs deep in the aforementioned Bloomberg story we find out that “after the H1N1 influenza outbreak in 2009, which triggered a nationwide shortage of masks and caused a 2- to 3-year backlog orders for the N95 variety, the stockpile distributed about three-quarters of its inventory and didn’t build back the supply.”
That's right, the shortage of N95 masks can be traced back to the H1N1 (swine flu) pandemic of 2009... when Barack Obama was president.
A different story from the Los Angeles Times published last week goes into more detail about what happened after the swine flu pandemic depleted the supply. According to their story, “After the swine flu epidemic in 2009, a safety-equipment industry association and a federally sponsored task force both recommended that depleted supplies of N95 respirator masks [...] be replenished by the stockpile.” The problem is that didn’t happen. According to Charles Johnson, president of the International Safety Equipment Association, about 100 million N95 respirator masks were used up during the swine flu pandemic of 2009-2010, but, he said was unaware of any “major effort to restore the stockpile to cover that drawdown.”
In short, even though the Obama administration was advised to replenish the national stockpile of the N95 respirator masks, they didn’t. Despite the fact the media traced the cause of the shortage back to 2009, they accuse Trump of poor planning and trying to deflect responsibility. It doesn't take a genius to know that in 2009 Barack Obama was president, but not once in either story did Bloomberg or the Los Angeles Times link the failure to replenish the N95 respirator masks with Obama or his administration, after they apparently ignored recommendations to do so.
President Trump has received criticism for blaming Obama for various deficiencies in the coronavirus response, and here we have the media tracing one particular deficiency back to the Obama years, and yet they avoid directly linking it by name to his administration. Obama had six years to restore that stockpile and even make it bigger. But he didn’t. Yet, the media today wants you to believe it’s Trump’s fault.
Don't know if this is true or not

Progressive group's analysis finds Stacey Abrams is Biden's best choice. Here’s why.
March 20, 2020, 6:00 AM EDT / Updated March 20, 2020, 9:06 AM EDT
WASHINGTON — Stacey Abrams would be the strongest running mate for Joe Biden in the November election against President Donald Trump, according to an analysis by a progressive think tank.
Way to Win, a women-led network of deep-pocketed donors, commissioned Data for Progress to look into potential vice presidential picks after Super Tuesday, when Biden ran up an imposing delegate lead over Sen. Bernie Sanders.
The think tank, whose polls of presidential primary contests this year have been highly regarded for their accuracy, conducted an online survey of 4,998 likely voters across the country on March 12 to gauge how potential Democratic tickets would fare against Trump and Vice President Mike Pence.
The group tested five buzzed-about potential options: Abrams and Sens. Kamala Harris of California, Elizabeth Warren of Massachusetts, Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota and Cory Booker of New Jersey (Biden has since committed to picking a woman).
Data for Progress founder Sean McElwee wrote in a memo analyzing the findings that Abrams performed uniquely well across a range of demographic groups, including both independent voters and core Democratic constituencies whose lower-than-expected turnout in 2016 hurt Hillary Clinton.
"A Biden–Abrams ticket would beat a Trump-Pence ticket and perform competitively with other hypothetical tickets, while also over performing with key groups that constitute the Democratic Party's base," McElwee wrote.
Really...
While a hypothetical Biden-Warren ticket performed slightly better among young voters, a Biden-Abrams pairing was not far behind and tied with a Biden-Klobuchar ticket among independent voters (a weaker spot for Warren). But most notably, a Biden-Abrams ticket was the strongest of the options among black voters and women of color.
Biden did well among black voters in the Democratic primaries, but 2016 showed that doesn't necessarily translate to November, said Tory Gavito, executive director of Way to Win.
"Primary voters are your regular voters. If it was church, those are people who show up every Sunday. We need to figure out how to get new people in the pews," Gavito said.
Abrams is the least well known of the potential candidates, but her favorability ratings improved more than those of some other potential candidates after survey respondents were given short bios of each, which included both positive and negative points.
The memo also raised concerns about picking any senator, even from relatively blue states like Minnesota or Nevada (Sen. Catherine Cortez Masto of Nevada has also been discussed as a potential option), because doing so might give Republicans a chance to win the seat or could, at a minimum, leave the seat vacant during the critical early days of a new administration, when every Democratic vote in the Senate might be crucial.
"Other hypothetical tickets raise significant concerns about control of the Senate," the memo states. "There are even risks for Biden picking Warren to run as his vice president. The governor of Massachusetts is Charlie Baker, a Republican, who will have the power to appoint a replacement for Warren until a special election takes place."
Gavito said that the choice of a running mate will be unusually important this year and that Biden needs not to repeat Clinton's mistake of choosing someone whose main role is to essentially do no harm (she chose Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia in 2016).
"Historically, folks will tell you the VP pick is less important. I think we are not in a typical historic moment," Gavito told NBC News. "When it comes to what it takes to win, we have to balance the ticket with gender, ideological, geographic, racial and generational diversity.
