Joseph Lowery Passed Away!

Joseph Lowery, a legendary civil rights leader passed away on Friday.
A living legend of American civil rights passed away overnight.

Joseph Lowery, the former aide to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. and pioneer of the civil rights movement died at the age of 98.

Lowery's death was confirmed by family representative Imara Canady, who said he died of natural causes. No confirmation of the coronavirus.






Lowery's death is huge. He was the "dean" of the civil rights movement. He worked hand in hand in the movement's formative years with Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rep. John Lewis (D-GA), Ralph Abernathy and Jesse Jackson.

He once said he missed "Martin" and other civil rights activists who had died before him. But he felt that God was keeping him for a single cause: To address the injustices of the criminal justice system, particularly towards poor black men.

Born Joseph Echols Lowery in Huntsville, Alabama, he worked to change the social norms of America. He was young boy working in his father's sweatshop when a dirty cop punched him in the stomach with a nightstick.

"A big white policeman was coming in, and he punched e in the stomach with his nightstick," Lowery told the Atlanta Tribune magazine in 2004.

"He said, 'Get back NIGGER, Don't you see a white man coming in the door?'"

After graduating from college, Lowery became an ordained Methodist minister who served congregations in Alabama and Georgia. He later became a peace activist, joining the fight against segregation and organizing marches in Selma and Birmingham, Alabama.
Barack Obama honored Joseph Lowery with the Presidential Medal of Freedom.
He served more than nearly a half a century as a pastor, spending much of that time with Central United Methodist and Cascade United Methodist Churches in Atlanta, Georgia.

In 1957, as racial tensions rose in the South, Lowery heled King start the Southern Christian Leadership Conference organization. They worked to convince Democratic president Lyndon B. Johnson to sign into law The Civil Rights Act and Voting Rights Act. Both laws became historical.

Lowery delivered the benediction at Barack Obama's inauguration in 2009. He awarded Lowery the Presidential Medal of Freedom shortly after.

Lowery also started the Coalition for the People's Agenda in 1998 to educate and register new voters, and he had continued to do so until his passing.

He leaves behind five children. He was then married to Evelyn Gibson before her passing.

Trish Regan Fired Out The Cannon!

Fox News cuts Trish Regan. She was fired out the cannon after a two week icing.
What will it take for Sean "Softball" Hannity to be fired out the cannon?

Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch's Fox News decided to pull the plug on a far-white agitator.

I mean half of the bullshit he's been saying on his right wing carnival and shitshow put millions of Americans at risk for the coronavirus.

Yet, a Fox Business host who has limited audience is sacked for the same shit.

Only a mere two weeks ago, a viral video of former Fox Business host Trish Regan ranting about the coronavirus and ow Democrats are willing to impeach Donald J. Trump again.

Fox Business announced the network has parted ways with Regan.

On Friday, the conservative agitator is no longer on the roster. The agitator sparked controversy after she dismissed the pandemic.

Fox Business Network released a statement:

"We thank her for her contributions to the network over the years and wish her continued success. We will continue our reduced live primetime schedule for the foreseeable future in an effort to allocate staff resources to continue breaking news coverage on the coronavirus crisis."

NBC News was first to confirm the news of the departing agitator.

Regan called the coronavirus pandemic an "impeachment scam."

Regan said that "many in the liberal media" were using this pandemic "in an attempt to demonized and destroy" Trump.

"This is impeachment all over again," Regan claimed. She said that Democratic lawmakers were sparkng panic and trying to destabilize the economy to harm his chances of being reelected.

Regan issued a public statement.

"I have enjoyed my time at Fox and now intend to focus on my family during these troubled times," she said on Friday. "I am grateful to my incredible team at Fox Business and for the many opportunities the network has provided me, I'm looking forward to this next chapter in my career."

Over the past few months, many agitators on Fox News and Fox Business have pushed claims that denounce the seriousness of the coronavirus and attacked Democrats for sounding the alarm.

Top brass had got spooked by the notion that their opinion hosts on primetime were pushing inadequate information in regards to this serious health crisis.

What gets me riled up is the fact that no one has laid the hammer on Sean "Softball" Hannity?

What will it take for Fox News to fire Sean "Softball" Hannity?

Expose him for his crappy journalism.
Expose him for alleged sexual abuse against women.
Call for an advertising boycott of his radio and television program.
Force Fox News to maintain that talent must avoid political positions.
Other
Please Specify:

Every poll I put out comes with the same stupid ass trolls picking something that doesn't resonate with the general consensus. We're getting tired of this.

Softball Hannity can't be untouchable! He is one of the primary factors to why Trump's lackluster response to this.

Polls say that Republicans at first didn't take this threat seriously. They trusted Rupert Murdoch's crap factory over the mainstream media.

The Trump Stimulus Passes!

Trump and Republicans once again shows us how to social distance. Trump signs a massive stimulus bill into law. Will it save his crappy economy? We don't know yet!
All white, all white!

"We'll see what happens!"

The deal is done. It's now a law.

A major victory for a bumbling idiot. Donald J. Trump will officially sign the combined House and Senate bill into law. In the Oval Office were Mike Pence, members of the White House, Sen. Mitch McConnell (R-KY), Sen. Kevin McCarthy and Dr. Anthony Fauci.

Not one of them were practicing in social distancing. Yet, they all gathered in for this photo-op.

No members of the Democratic Party were present for the signing of this law.

The House of Representatives came back to Washington, DC to vote on the $2 trillion stimulus bill that policy makers hope will blunt the economic destruction caused by the coronavirus.

Trump will sign this legislation into law.

The lawmakers were really pissed at Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY). He forced them to all come back to Washington for a procedural move that requires a minimum of 216 lawmakers to be present for the vote.

The vote came after two weeks of consistent and biter arguments over how this law will help those impacted by sudden job loss due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The White House, Treasury Department, Small Business Administration and other agencies will scramble to get the ball rolling on getting folks the needed money to help them throughout the pandemic.

Marketwatch reported that the stimulus will have some good and some bad.

The hallmark of the $2 trillion stimulus package were one-time $1,200 direct payments to adults making up to $75,000. But the legislation also included a number of proposals aimed at supporting small businesses that have been hard hit as the pandemic has forced businesses to shutter in accordance with social-distancing orders from state and local officials across the country.

Some researchers have estimated that the federal government may need to supply up to $1.5 trillion in liquidity to businesses that employ 500 or fewer people if the coronavirus emergency to last three months. That’s obviously a much larger amount than the Senate plan currently provides.

The Senate’s plan currently supports American small businesses in the following ways, according to policy experts:

• A $350 billion forgivable loan program designed to ensure that small businesses do not lay off employees

• A 50% refundable payroll tax credit on worker wages will further incentivize businesses, including ones with fewer than 500 employees, to retain workers

• Looser net operating loss-reduction rules that will allow businesses to offset more

• A delay in employer-side payroll taxes for Social Security until 2021 and 2022

• Sole proprietors and other self-employed workers could be eligible for the expanded unemployment-insurance benefits the bill provides

• A portion of the $425 billion in funds appropriated for the Federal Reserve’s credit facilities will target small businesses

The far-reaching legislation stands as the largest emergency aid package in US history. It represents a massive financial injection into a struggling economy with provisions aimed at helping American workers, small businesses and industries grappling with the economic disruption.

Twenty/20 Pyrex Vision!

Jeezy releases a surprise album.
I thought The Snowman retired.

I guess it's a Sno Storm with Jeezy. He decided to release this album due to the folks being stuck at home due to the coronavirus.
Jeezy and Shawty Redd collaborate once again.
Atlanta's trap legend releases a surprise EP with production straight from his longtime collaborator Shawty Redd.

Jeezy (born Jay W. Jenkins) is a rapper, actor and business mogul. He released 10 albums under Def Jam through his Corporate Thugz Entertainment and YJ Music label.

The album released at midnight.

Listen here.



The album is an independent release. Jeezy fulfilled his obligations with Def Jam.

There is no guest artists on the album. The only production is Shawty Redd and it's certainly banging.

[Verse 1]
I just hopped out at the light (Light), I just gave a broad the pipe (Pipe)
I just tell her what I want, she know exactly what I like (Woo)
I just booked another flight, I just spent another night
Stay away from fuck niggas 'cause they be like Kryptonite (Damn)
They be fucking up my vibes, yeah, they give your boy the hives (Hives)
Ex-dealer, street nigga, I'm just glad to be alive (Woo)
Hood nigga, street figure, hit a lick with Avión
Sorry, Puff, I'm on your ass if we talkin' DeLeon

[Chorus]
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going (Yeah), keep going (Yeah), keep going, keep going

[Verse 2]
I just killed another show (Show), I just caught another flow
Yeah, I pulled up in them 'partments, double R's on the door (Woo)
And the bars on the door, dirty carpet on the floor (Damn)
Addicted to this paper nigga, all we want is more
I just caught another vibe (Vibe), I just bought another ride (Ride)
Swear to God it came with stars, nigga, yeah, ain't never lied (Nah)
Now I'm trapping in these sports and I got my own phone
Street nigga selling water, long way from those O's

[Chorus]
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going (That's right, nigga)
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going (Fuck the motherfuckin' talk, keep on movin' on these motherfuckin' suckas)
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going (Y'all know what time it is)
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going (Uh, Shawty Redd on the track)
Keep going (Yeah), keep going (Yeah), keep going (Yeah), keep going (Twenty/20, nigga)
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going (Pyrex Vision, ya dig?)
Keep going, keep going, keep going, keep going (Uh, we raise the stakes)

Jeezy keeps the trap banging.



Jeezy also had to address his girlfriend getting attacked online because of the coronavirus. He is currently dating Jeannie Mai, the longtime host of The Real. They have been together for years but it was an "open secret."

Mai was the subject of racism because of the coronavirus. Page Six reports the encounter.
Jeezy and Jeannie Mai had to address racism due to them dating.
Jeannie Mai is slamming accusations that she has the coronavirus because of her ethnicity.

"When Jeezy and I were in Fashion Week just recently and there were pictures posted, I saw in the comments on other blogs a couple of times like, 'Don't be catching that Corona, Jeezy' or 'She got that Corona that latched him in,'" she said on Wednesday’s episode of  The Real talk show. "And that’s so hurtful because there are people that are actually dying from this."

"I also heard that there are schools that are considering to quarantine Asian kids because they just want to keep it safe," the 41-year-old told the shocked panel. "I just want to say, we know that misinformation coupled with fear leads to xenophobia, right? Xenophobia is a deep-rooted fear against foreigners. So, we just got to do better and know that when it comes to yourself, educate yourself so that you don't give life to fear."

Mai was born and raised in California. Her mother is Vietnamese and her father is Chinese.

She began dating Jeezy, 42, in September 2019 following her split from Freddy Harteis. The former couple was married for 10 years and their divorce was finalized in December 2018.

The Real co-host Loni Love offered Mai her support. "If you are Asian and you're feeling something, I would recommend — I read that they said that you should actually talk about it and put out the stories because that's how you — just like you know, on black Twitter we share our stories of racism, you guys need to do that too," said Love, 48.

The deadly coronavirus has been taking the world by storm as nearly 15,000 cases were reported in just one Chinese province earlier this week and the CDC confirmed on Wednesday that a 14th person has been infected with the virus in the United States.

The disease began spreading last month.

Thomas Massie Is Trying To Derail Trump's Stimulus!

Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) could endanger Trump's Stimulus Bill.
The greater Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky area lawmaker, Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) is trying to derail the Trump stimulus plan on the grounds of his "principles."

Massie is a Libertarian Republican and is part of the do-nothing House Liberty Caucuses.


The Kentucky lawmaker is strongly against the bipartisan bill and is threatening to derail the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus package, and potentially endangering other House members in the process.

The Republican wants Congress to return back to Washington to give a "voice vote" -- a verbal exercise in which those in a favor shout yea, and those to oppose to holler nay. The loudest side would prevail.

Thursday night and Friday morning, furious lawmakers flocked back to the Capitol -- which has already been rocked by the virus with several lawmakers testing positive for COVID-19 -- because leadership was made aware that Massie may not go along with a planned voice vote that would require just a skeleton group of lawmakers to be present.

The Democrats slam the Republican lawmaker for trying to delay voting. But here's the kicker!

Former Secretary of State John Kerry gave him a nickname. He calls him a Masshole.


Republicans are furious at the lawmaker and leading the way is Donald J. Trump.




Frustrated and angry House members are rushing back to Washington, taking rey-eye flights and driving for hours.




Some of the Republicans came to Massie's defense.

Why is it the white nationalists one that support him?



Massie is facing a Republican challenger in the Kentucky primary. He will face Covington lawyer Todd McMurtry, a Trump supporting agitator who vows to support him.

Massie believes the stimulus will pile more debt on the country, put small companies out of business and give Americans a reason to stay at home and not work.

But in a radio interview Thursday, Massie said the Constitution calls for a quorum to vote in the House and he had little sympathy for House members having to come back, especially after the Senate managed to pass the legislation through a normal recorded vote.

"I'm having a really hard time with this. Because they're saying, well it's hard to travel, yadda yadda yadda," Massie told radio station 55KRC Thursday.

"Well, last night, 96 out of 100 Senators voted. All we would need is 218 out of 435 to vote," he added, pointing to a section of Article I in the U.S. Constitution that states "a majority of each shall constitute a quorum to do business."

He suggested a way members can come back to the Capitol: "Hitch a ride with a trucker," Massie said.

There are 3.3 million Americans out of work. Most of us want to get back to work. I don't have time for lawmakers and Trump scrambling. A measly check to keep my lights on is not enough. We need to figure out how to fix this crisis with bipartisan teamwork.

Trump is a crappy president. Republicans are a bunch of fucking idiots.

Massie, Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT), Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) are destructive to our country. They don't care about the American people. Anything for an appearance on Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch's Fox News Channel.

Boris Johnson: I Got The Coronavirus!

Boris Johnson confirms he got the coronavirus.
 Another ironic moment.

The controversial British prime minister Boris Johnson just confirmed to Queen Elizabeth II that he's tested positive for the coronavirus.

Donald J. Trump, Mike Pence, Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Royal Family, U.K. Parliament, the U.S. Congress were notified of the news.

Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson, Hon FRIBA is the current prime minister and leader of the U.K. Conservative Party. He said that he developed mild symptoms and was self-isolating.

"Over the last 24 hours I have developed mild symptoms and tested positive for the coronavirus. I am now self-isolating, but I will continue to lead the government response via video-conference as we fight this virus. Together we will beat this," Johnson wrote on social media.

The politician said that he had a high fever and persistent cough, which are key symptoms of the virus.

He took a test under advise of the country's chief medical officer, Chris Whitty.

"But be in no doubt that I can continue, thanks to the wizardly of modern technology, to communicate with all my top team to lead the national fightback against the coronavirus," he said.

UK Health Secretary Matt Hancock confirmed that he also has tested positive for the coronavirus.

If Johnson's symptoms get worse, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab would take over.

Johnson became the latest member of high politics to be confirmed to have it.

Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY), Rep. Ben McAdams (D-UT), Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart (R-FL), Prince Albert II of Monaco, Prince Charles of the United Kingdom, Sophie Trudeau, wife of Justin Trudeau, John Bessler, husband of Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN) and Brazil's president Jair Bolsonaro got COVID-19.

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.

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.

Biden Felt #MeToo!

Biden is accused of sexual assault.
During the debate, Joe Biden promised he would nominate a Black woman to be a Supreme Court justice and also pick a qualified woman to be his running mate.

Now all of a sudden......

Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden has an accuser. The accuser appears on a pro-Bernie Sanders program to tell her story and the trolls launch the #TimesupBiden Campaign.

So this started trending overnight.

The accuser said that then as an aide to then Senator Joe Biden, she said that he sexually assaulted her in 1993. She appeared on Katie Halper, who helped her bring the allegation to the forefront.

The accuser claimed that worked for Biden in the early 1990s. She said that she was unambiguously assaulted by him in 1993. According to the accuser, he began kissing her without her permission, pushed her against a wall, reached under her skirt and penetrated her with his fingers.

"He said, 'come on man, I heard you liked me," she said to Halper. "For me, it was like, everything shattered. I looked up to him, he was like my father's age, he was this champion of women's rights, in my eyes. I couldn't believe it was happening. It was surreal."
Accuser comes forth with allegations about Biden.
The accuser had already complained to her bosses about the sexual harassment in Biden's office -- she said a supervisor had once asked her to serve drinks at an event because she had attractive legs -- but sheared the more serious accusations against Biden with a few close confidants.

She is a supporter of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT).

She was a former supporter of Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA).

She claims that Time's Up, a project of the National Women's Law Center declined to assist the accuser.

The hashtag #IBelieveTaraReade started trending on social media. The Bernie Bros and trolls started calling out entertainer Alyssa Milano, a prominent supporter of Time's Up and Biden for ignoring the allegations. They also claim that CNN and MSNBC are ignoring the allegations. I am sure Ruper "Pervert" Murdoch's Fox News are covering the allegations. It was told that Sean "Softball" Hannity wanted to interview this accuser.

Now some of Biden's supporters are questioning the accuser. They believe that she's trying to "set Biden up." They even dug into her profile and found some disturbing allegations against her.

Some of them goes straight to Moscow.

They saw her Medium profile and she praised Vladimir Putin, the controversial leader of the Russian Federation.
Krystal Ball is a far-left agitator who promotes pro-Bernie Sanders and Russian propaganda.
I will mention the name only once to make sure that I protect the person who accused Biden. I will also look into the credibility of her and why its now instead of 2009 when Barack Obama picked him as his running mate or 2012 when Biden was the vice president who was on the ballot.

Like with Donald J. Trump, Biden does have accusers saying he had inappropriately touched them.

Biden had apologized and said he will do better.

My question is, why didn't the accuser go to a credible news program to tell her story?

Why didn't she have a lawyer present when she made the accusations?

Why go to an opinion commentator's program?

Why did she shut down her blog and protect her Twitter/Facebook postings?

Why is the accuser praising the Russian Federation?

Those are answers that doesn't disqualify the allegation but it does give me a reason to not trust her account.

Especially given that Brett Kavanaugh is a Supreme Court Justice, Donald J. Trump is the President of the United States, and the Russian government is pushing for Trump and Sanders to win.

Slim Thug: I Got The Coronavirus!

Slim Thug confirmed he has the coronavirus.
Something is going on in the state of Texas.

Gov. Greg Abbott is fucking stupid. His state as well as California, Michigan, Louisiana, Florida and New York are the hot zones of the COVID-19. Donald J. Trump continues to keep our country divided and it's frustrating. The Congress is close to passing a massive stimulus that could backfire.

Trump failure to acknowledge the threat has cost millions of people their jobs. It has put a major dent in the economy. Trump wants to get the country back to work by Easter. However, many folks are not taking Trump too seriously. They believe that timetables are ridiculous. A virus doesn't care about the economy, borders, nationality, race, sexuality, gender, age, political views or education.

Trump is asshole backwards when it comes to handling a crisis.

Earlier posting I had Houston legendary rapper, Brad "Scarface" Jordan being diagnosis with the coronavirus.

Now I'm hearing that another Houston rapper confirms he's got the disease.

A post shared by Slim Thug (@slimthug) on

Slim Thug (born Stayve Thomas) confirms he tested positive for the COVID-19.

He posted a video on social media saying that he's been feeling like shit these last few days.

"As careful as I've been self-quarantining staying home, I might have went and got something to eat or something, simple stuff like that, nothing crazy," said Slim Thug. "Stayed in my truck, had mask, gloves, everything on and my test came back positive."

On Tuesday, Harris County judge Lina Hidalgo issued a stay-at-home order, closing most businesses and directing residents. The city of Houston has  2.6 million residents and Harris County has 6.4 million residents.

Thugger told fans and supporters that this isn't a joke.

"Y'all gotta take this stuff seriously," Slim Thug said. "Sit home, self-quarantine, do not come outside for however long they're saying. If you have symptoms, you need to go get checked out or whatever."

The rapper said that he got tested because he had a fever and a cough, but those symptoms have subsided.

"I feel better now," Slim Thug said. "I Don't have a fever or nothing like that, so I feel like I'm good, but y'all better take this serious. It's real out here."

Curly Neal Passed Away!

Curly Neal passed away. The famed Harlem Globetrotter entertained millions until his retirement.
The Harlem Globetrotters former leader and dazzler of dribble, Freddie "Curly" Neal passed away in Houston. The famed basketball star died at the age of 77. We cannot confirm if he had the coronavirus.

Curly Neal, entertained millions with the Harlem Globetrotters for parts of three decades.

The Globetrotters confirmed the news on social media and in a public statement.

"We have lost one of the most genuine human beings the world has ever known," Globetrotters general manager Jeff Mun said in a statement on social media. Curly's basketball skill was unrivaled by most, and his warm heart and hug smile brought joy to families worldwide."

Neal played for the Globetrotters from 1963-85, appearing in more than 6.000 games in 97 countries for the exhibition team known for its combination of comedy and athleticism.

He became one of the five Globetrotters to have his jersey retired when his No. 22 was lifted to the rafters of Madison Square Garden in a special ceremony in 2008.

Neal and the Globetrotters also appeared on numerous television shows, commercials and events.

He was a featured player on Hanna-Barbera's The New Scooby-Doo! Movies and The Adventures of the Harlem Globetrotters. He also appeared on The Ed Sullivan Show, The Love Boat and Gilligan's Island.

Neal would be the most visible Globetrotter. He would have his trademark shaved head, infectious smile and his ability to dribble circles around the would-be defenders.
Curly Neal in his cartoon form. He was voiced by the late Stu Gilliam.
Neal was born in Greensboro, North Carolina. He was a lead player at his high school. He took classes at Johnson C. Smith University where he led the team to the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association title after averaging 23 points per game as a senior. He was inducted into the North Carolina Sports Hall of Fame in 2008. It included legendary coach Roy Williams.

Curly stood at 6'1''. He leaves behind two daughters Rocurl (Raquel) and Laverne Neal. He has six grandchildren and was engaged with his girlfriend Linda Ware until his death.

Ball hard, brother. The iconic Curly Neal will never be forgotten.

Here's The Harlem Globetrotters cartoon series. Curly gave Hanna-Barbera permission to use his likeness for the children's television show. The Harlem Globetrotters and The Super Globetrotters lasted only one season but did leave an impact on the franchise.

Alright!

The COVID-19 pressers are starting to bore Americans. The networks are cutting Trump's pressers quickly.
"That I can tell ya!" says the president who downplayed a pandemic. This coronavirus pandemic has now taken a toll on the media coverage of Donald J. Trump. The live pressers from Trump, Mike Pence and the White House are getting cut short.

ABC, NBC, CBS, NPR, PBS, Fox, MSNBC and CNN have stopped airing Trump's Coronavirus Task Force pressers. The only networks that cover it from start to end are Fox News, Newsmax and ONN.

The media outlets are getting tired of Trump offering no updates to the coronavirus.

They are also getting tired of Trump complaining about how he's being treated by media critics and White House reporters. They are asking questions and want answers. They're getting tired of Trump complaining about how it's affecting him more than the millions of Americans out of jobs and those being hospitalized because of this.

No one is immune from the virus. Everyone at any age is at risk of this.

About 1/2 of the United States has shut down. Over 30 states have declared state of emergency orders and ordered non-essential workers to stay home. Businesses, tourist attractions, schools and public venues are off limits.

The United States Senate had passed the stimulus bill on a bipartisan vote (96 senators) with four not voting. Now the House of Representatives are working on passing their version of the bill. Once merged, the bill will be signed by Trump and it will offer partial relief to the 3.28 million Americans who were involuntarily laid off due to the coronavirus.

The networks have stressed that giving Trump free publicity while airing misleading claims and nothing of significance will get people killed.

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.

Here's things to remember about the coronavirus.

High Five!

Jobless claims rose to 3.28 million. It's expected to rise in March and April.
"We'll see what happens!" are the words of a president who has no clear path to solving the country's most devastating natural disaster. For folks who don't believe climate change isn't real, well here you go. We have a pandemic thanks to a virus that has no known cures. We have leaders who are about to pile more debt to an already stressed out country. The stock market is volatile and unpredictable.

The Great American Comeback, folks.

Estimated amount of people losing their jobs will be over 30 million. The lives lost to the coronavirus could total 50,000 Americans. Each state, territory, federal building, military installation and embassy are affected. We are now in a global pandemic. There are signs that the nation may be entering a recession due to the involuntary consequences pushed by the coronavirus.

Right now, over 3.3 million filed for unemployment claims shattering a record.

The U.S. Labor Department report issued on Thursday gave a grave indicator of how Americans being forced off the job is going to have massive impact on country.

Donald J. Trump knows that. He is demanding that the country gets back to work right after Easter.

He knows that his singular message about how "great" the economy is on the line. He knows he's responsible for the outcome and he knows the political ramifications of a lazy response are going to hurt his chances of winning reelection.

DONALD J. TRUMP HAS A 52% CHANCE OF WINNING REELECTION.

The service industry was hit the hardest.

Restaurants, hotels, cruise lines, casinos, movie theaters, gyms, retail providers, airlines and schools took a hit. Even car manufacturers are closing production lines out of fear workers could be testing positive for the coronavirus.

These jobs may not come back due to the coronavirus.

The previous record of unemployment was set in 1982.

The surge in weekly applications was a stunning reflection of the damage this viral outbreak is doing to the economy.

Among the hardest hit sectors was the service industry, and particularly accommodation and food service. Nearly every state cited COVID-19 as the reason for the high number of claims.

Health care and social assistance, arts, entertainment and recreation, transportation and warehousing/manufacturing industries were also heavily impacted, the DOL said.

The coronavirus pandemic has forced thousands of businesses to close amid government-mandated stay-in-place orders.

The staggering figure comes as the unemployment rate was near a 50-year low just weeks ago.

The previous record for weekly unemployment filings was 695,000 in 1982.

Thursday's unemployment filing is three times the total number of people employed by the major U.S. corporations -- Apple, Target, General Motors, Boeing and McDonalds -- combined.

"The coronavirus outbreak is a truly unprecedented event in American economic history, flash-freezing the economy by forcing businesses to shut down and putting millions of American workers out of jobs," Glassdoor's senior economist Daniel Zhao said in a statement Thursday.

"Most historical comparisons of this scale are inadequate. The closest would be natural disasters like major hurricanes," he added. "However, as today's report shows, the coronavirus outbreak is economically akin to a major hurricane occurring in every state around the country for weeks on end."
Businesses are closing left and right due to the coronavirus.
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.

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.
