'Grotesque': While 41 Million People Lost Jobs Due to
Covid-19, US Billionaires Grew Nearly $500 Billion Richer. "Billionaire wealth is surging at the
same time that millions face suffering, hardship, and loss of life. This is a
grotesque indicator of the deep inequalities in U.S. society."
Just like the coronavirus, the 1918 flu pandemic ravaged
group living facilities: The risk that we will fail to enact substantive change
is as high as it was in 1918.

irony in these pleas to reject the siren call of threat-mongers — because the
newly formed anti-fear contingent has spent years playing on the anxieties of
Americans, just ones other than COVID-19.
The coronavirus is crushing working people. It’s time for
Congress to act. In the coming weeks and
months, Congress must work not only to get vulnerable workers through the
pandemic, but also to put them on more solid footing in the long term.

Children with perplexing syndrome linked to covid-19 may

Trump Administration Distributed Remdesivir To Wrong
Hospitals, Facilities Without ICU Beds
Gilead donated doses of remdesivir to the government to
distribute, but an analysis of where that first batch went shows missteps that
left critical patients without the potentially life-saving drug. Meanwhile, a
study finds that a five-day course of remdesivir might be enough, which would
help conserve supplies. And the VA says it has all but dropped its use of the
controversial anti-malarial drug that has potentially fatal side effects.
