The Unemployment Barrel!

The coronavirus displaced millions of workers.

Involuntary job loss due to governors ordering business closures in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic has gotten 13 million people out of work.

Who is going to take the blame?

With millions of Americans out of work due to the COVID-19 pandemic, who actually deserves the blame for this?

Donald Trump

U.S. state and territorial governors

World Health Organization

China

Congress

Other

Please Specify:

Remember them days when Sean "Softball" Hannity was going on and on about how Barack Obama's economy put so many people out of work. Remember that the softball was complaining about how Donald J. Trump has gotten millions off of food stamps, poverty and dependency.

It was only last year and it was on his right wing carnival and bullshit mountain.

Please tell Americans that we're eligible for the safety net.

Nope.

Trump issued executive orders affected the way Americans can use the safety net in the time of need.

He also is signalling that he's willing to stop the Affordable Care Act Marketplace.

On point, this weeks jobless claims rose to 6.6 million.

New claims for unemployment benefits rose to 6.65 million in the week ending March 28, according to figures released by the Department of Labor on Thursday.

It means that roughly over 10 million Americans have lost their jobs and filed for unemployment in the two weeks that the coronavirus started rapidly spreading across the country.

States like Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio and New York have the largest increase in unemployment benefits.

With the coronavirus pandemic, Americans are being ordered to stay at home if they're sick and those who are able to work are doing under tight restrictions. Many companies had to lay off millions because of the spread of the coronavirus.

On point, we have over 5,500 confirmed deaths from the coronavirus. We have no sign of the situation calming down. There are over 300,000 confirmed cases of individuals testing positive for the disease.



Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.

1. Wash your hands frequently
2. Do not touch your face (mouth, nose and eyes)
3. Cough into your elbow instead of your hands.
4. Keep a safe distance (at least 6 to 10 feet) from individuals.
5. If you're sick, please stay home.
6. There is no treatment or cure for the COVID-19.
7. Follow state and federal laws regarding this.
8. Do not hoard items like toilet paper, bread, gloves, hand sanitizer, etc.
9. Use social media like Facebook Messenger, Google Duo, Skype or social media to connect.
10. COVID-19 can live on surfaces for more than 72 hours. Including steel, plastic and cardboard.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.

The coronavirus doesn't care about your age, race, gender, sexuality, nationality, religion, politics, economic or social standings. It doesn't care about anything. It's a living organism that causes mild symptoms that include: fever, sore throats, chills, respiratory issues, loss of taste or smell and other unknown symptoms. If you have a weak immune system or health issues, your risk increases.

Death does happen to at least 40% of those who are affected by COVID-19.

Healthy people can die from this.
