Dr. Jill Biden is Joe's greatest ally. The Bernie Bros are targeting her because of her certifications.
Desperation is in the air with the Bernie Bros.
Is this a coordinated attempt from Russia, Donald J. Trump or the remnants of the Bernie Sanders campaign?
I've heard that Shaun King was called out again. He tried to troll Sen. Brian Schatz (D-HI) for Medicare for All. Schatz called him out on it. He said that he endorsed and sponsored the bill.
King is a former Black Lives Matter activist and writer. He is under fire for promoting misleading stories about the Democratic candidates. He also got into a heated feud with MSNBC agitator Rachel Maddow.
Controversial actor and podcaster Joe Rogan said that he'll vote for Donald J. Trump if Biden becomes the nominee. The Democrats have slammed Rogan for his rampant bigotry online and his phony support.
Briahna Joy Gray was called out for her sneak diss on Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA). Harris called for COVID-19 testing to be free. Gray went on to attack her for not supporting Medicare for All and demanding why she won't promote free cancer screenings. The K-Hive struck back by saying that Harris' mother died of cancer. They said that Harris supports the Affordable Care Act and does call for Medicare for All.
You also have Cenk Uygur, The Young Turks, Kyle Kulinski (Secular Talk), Michael Moore, David Sirota, Susan Sarandon, Katie Halper, Krystal Ball, Mehdi Hasan, Thom Hartmann, Benjamin Dixon, Cornel West, Killer Mike, Glenn Greenwald, Jordan Uhl, Ryan Knight, Alexandra Tera Reade, David Ag Stone and Ryan Grim.
These individuals are insufferable assholes and peddlers of propaganda.
They will not win any favors among Democrats and progressives who are tired of the primaries.
More people are concerned about their jobs, the coronavirus and the future of the country in whole.
I am sick and tired Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his supporters. The Vermont senator and Democratic presidential candidate is still in the race despite his chances of being the nominee very slim.
His online supporters are really insufferable.
They tried with Joe Biden in coordinated attacks. These attacks have strengthen the bond between Democrats and the Biden campaign. It's really backfiring and hurting Sanders.
Some of the most notable themes of the #NeverBiden camp.
Joe Biden has dementia.
Joe Biden is a rapist.
Joe Biden is a Republican.
Joe Biden is an establishment Democrat.
Joe Biden is missing in the wake of a crisis.
Joe Biden is the nominee, I'll vote for Trump.
And now they're attacking his wife, Dr. Jill Biden, the former Second Lady of the United States.
Twitter once again is failing to police misinformation. The attacks on Biden have gotten worse.
On The View, Whoopi Goldberg referred Biden as a surgeon general back in March. Now all of sudden, the Bernie Bros are attacking her for being a "doctor."
Jill Biden is an American educator who has a EdD and MEd of education. More than most of these ridiculous trolls on social media.
Just in case you want to go into this debate over "Dr." how about looking into the wife of Bernie Sanders. Her name is Dr. Jane O'Meara Sanders, a Phd and EdD in education.
United Kingdom prime minister Boris Johnson's condition worsen due to the coronavirus.
Conservatism has failed in the United States and the United Kingdom. If you're not believing climate change and science, then you're pretty much fucked.
The Prime Minister of the United Kingdom has been taken to St. Thomas' Hospital in London on Sunday night. His office confirms that he was moved to intensive care after symptoms from the coronavirus have worsen throughout the day.
Downing Street spokesman said: "Since Sunday evening, the Prime Minister has been under the care of doctors at St. Thomas' Hospital, in London, after being admitted with persistent symptoms of coronavirus.
"Over the course of this afternoon, the condition of the Prime Minister has worsened and, on the advice of his medical team, he has been moved to intensive care at the hospital.
The Prime Minister asked Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, who is the First Secretary of State, to deputize for him when necessary.
The Prime Minister is receiving excellent care, and thanks to all NHS staff for their hard work and dedication.
Queen Elizabeth II had delivered a national address to the nation.
She had to issue calm for the nation.
Here's the map.
There are over 400,000 confirm cases of the coronavirus in the United States. There are over 11,000 Americans who have died from the coronavirus. Every state has reported a death and its rising fast.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Brix have predicted that there could be over 100,000 to 4 million Americans killed by the coronavirus. Globally, there are over 1.5 million people infected by 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.
11. A pandemic has no timeline.
12. COVID-19 doesn't care about borders.
13. If you deliberately infect other individuals, food and first responders, you will be charged with crime.
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.

NYFD firefighter was infected by the coronavirus because of an unruly teen.
The New York City Fire Department has condemned an apparent domestic terrorist attack on one of their own. A Muslim firefighter contacted the coronavirus after being exposed by a resident.
The resident was a Jewish teenager. The teen and three of his friends deliberately sneezed on the firefighter and ran off.
Now he has caught the COVID-19.
Attorney General William Barr had issued a warning saying Americans that are sick and these individuals spreading the virus deliberately will face "domestic terrorism" charges.
Omar Sattar, 33 was allegedly taunted by these three Jewish teenagers in Brooklyn, New York.
Sattar, whose father was convicted of terrorism charges in 2005, was sneezed on by a group of Hasidic Jews in Borough Park.
The 33-year old was inspecting a hydrant when he was confronted by "three Hasidic Jewish" teens on March 18th.
The FDNY's chief of operations, Thomas Richardson and Lt. Kasey Kozlowski alleges that Sattar was "taunted" by the group who "asked him if he was afraid of the coronavirus."
Sattar told them to "keep their distance and not to interfere with his work," the teen sneezed into his face and ran off.
Four days later, Sattar then begun experiencing flu-like symptoms and was tested for the coronavirus.
He was tested positive for the coronavirus. He was placed on medical leave on March 24 and the results came in March 27..
The far-white The Daily Mail claims that Sattar was the son of a conspirator of the 1993 World Trade Center bombing. The father was sentenced to 24 in federal time out after "he solicited crimes of violence" against Jewish New Yorkers.

Wisconsin governor could not shut down the primaries. He will probably force an emergency order.
The Democratic primary is on Tuesday in Wisconsin. Former vice president Joe Biden has a substantial lead in the state. Donald J. Trump has enough delegates to be the nominee for the Republican Party.
Gov. Tony Evers wanted to stop the Wisconsin primary elections. Republicans in charge of the state legislature said otherwise. Now it's a controversy ensued and conspiracy from the Bernie Bros.
The mayors of Wisconsin's most populous cities are calling upon the state's top officials to shut down in-person voting on Tuesday as a legal battle over absentee voting in the state reaches the Supreme Court.
"We implore you to implement all emergency measures necessary to control the spread of the COVID-19, a communicable disease," said a letter from the Department of Human Services Secretary-Designee Andrea Palm. "Specifically, we need you to step up and stop the state of Wisconsin from putting hundreds of thousands of citizens at risk by requiring them to vote at the polls while this ugly pandemic spreads."
Again, Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and his supporters have become insufferable assholes. They have been actively online trolling Democrats and progressive allies with vicious attacks. They've turned off Democrats and in turn hurt Sanders chances at winning the nomination.
Bernie Bros have vowed to not support Biden if he becomes the nominee. Once again, these trolls were a reason to why Hillary Clinton lost against Trump.
The primary could be dangerous for voters and poll workers.
Evers called a special session of Wisconsin’s Republican-controlled legislature on Saturday in an attempt to change the state’s Election Day into an extended mail-in ballot only election. He had proposed mandating that all registered voters receive an absentee ballot by May 19 and extending the deadline to turn them in to May 26.
But the legislative session lasted only a couple seconds Saturday afternoon; the state’s Republican leaders gaveled in and out, adjourning until Monday and leaving the in-person Election Day plans for Tuesday intact.
“Hundreds of thousands of workers are going to their jobs every day, serving in essential roles in our society. There’s no question that an election is just as important as getting take-out food,” Senate Majority Leader Scott Fitzgerald and Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, both Republicans, said in a statement.
Wisconsin has reported 2,112 positive cases of the coronavirus, and 56 related deaths, as of Saturday afternoon — more than double what the state was reporting last week. Residents have been under strict stay-at-home orders since March 25: All nonessential businesses have been shut down, and people who don’t live in the same household are not allowed to gather. Breaking the rules comes with jail time or fines.
Already, election officials are facing poll staff shortages and a backlog of absentee ballots. The majority of municipalities in Wisconsin have already reported a lack of poll workers. State election officials reported 111 jurisdictions that do not have enough people to staff a single polling place, and 60% of all Wisconsin towns and cities were reporting staffing shortages as of Monday. On Friday, the Milwaukee Election Commission announced the city was consolidating its usual 180 polling stations to just five.
Bernie Sanders wants to win so badly/
For now, voters will have to choose between voting without proper social distance, or not showing up.
“We have grave concerns about holding an election as we’re just ramping up in dealing with 1,000 cases in Milwaukee County, let alone other areas in the state that may not have cases yet,” Milwaukee Health Commissioner Jeanette Kowalik told reporters Friday.
Vos, the state assembly speaker, tweeted, “Milwaukee could easily use city staff to open polling places.” Evers has also offered using the national guard to staff polling stations.
Evers has tried to pin the blame on his Republican colleagues, though he himself appeared resigned to the April 7 election date last week; Friday was the first time he called for the primary to be moved. Previously, Evers had been calling for an expanded absentee ballot system — mailing ballots to all registered voters and loosening guidelines for absentee voting.
“There’s no real good answer to this,” Evers, who unseated the state’s former Republican governor Scott Walker in 2018, said in a video posted to his social media accounts Friday. “Folks, I can’t change this election or change the rules on my own. My hands are tied. And that’s why I spoke to legislative leaders about this weeks ago. I even publicly called on them to act. They made it clear they were unwilling to make changes.”
Republican officials seemed unfazed by the governor’s demand, criticizing him for attempting changes at the last minute.
Fitzgerald, the Senate majority leader, previously said that sending absentee ballots to all registered voters in the state was “not logistically feasible” and called it a “fantasy” and “ridiculous” last week. Other states — like Ohio, Wyoming and Alaska — have switched primary voting to mail-in ballots only.
Republicans are also fighting election changes in the courts. A federal judge censured Evers and Republicans last week for failing to address the election during a public health crisis and granted an extension for absentee ballots. Ballots now need to be received by 4 p.m. on April 13 to be counted. A federal appeals court upheld the April 13 deadline, but undid another provision that would have allowed voters to submit mail-in ballots without a witness signature.
Republican leaders in the state have already indicated they would like to fight the absentee ballot extension in state courts.
Joe Biden likely going to win Wisconsin.
“We still have grave concerns about election security by allowing votes to be postmarked or submitted after Election Day, and plan to appeal that issue to the United States Supreme Court,” Fitzgerald and Vos said in a joint statement.
Wisconsin Democrats have already raised concerns about the political implications of low voter turnout in this election. On the ballot is a contentious race for a seat on the state Supreme Court. While technically a nonpartisan contest, incumbent Wisconsin Supreme Court Justice Dan Kelly has been endorsed by President Donald Trump and has the support of Republicans. Kelly is looking to sew up a 10-year appointment, while his opponent, Dane County Circuit Judge Jill Karofsky, is hoping to weaken conservatives’ 5-2 majority on the court.
The outcome of this race could have an outsize impact on the state’s politics for the next decade, as Wisconsin gears up to redraw its congressional maps with data from the 2020 census.
And despite conflicting guidance from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention about limited larges gatherings, both campaigns for former Vice President Joe Biden and President Donald Trump say they won’t call on the state to postpone their respective contests.
U.S. District Judge William Conley ruled on Thursday that in-person voting would not be canceled or postponed, but voters in Wisconsin now have an additional day to request an absentee ballot, until Saturday at 5 p.m.
Solid Rock Church in Monroe is under face for holding services during the pandemic.
It seems like Ohio's Governor Mike DeWine's orders to keep a distance are ignored by the religious institutions. After all, they are given exemptions. One in particular is a megachurch located in Monroe, Ohio. It's close to Miami Valley Gaming, Cincinnati Premium Outlet Mall, Treasure Aisle Flea Market, Hustler Superstore and Trader's World. It's located right off Interstate 75 and you can see the "Touchdown Jesus" right off the highway.
Solid Rock Church is defying the governor order on social distancing in the wake of the national emergency of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The Ohio Department of Health, Monroe's mayor and state leaders are warning the church to cut back or face consequences.
The church is located in Warren County.
Pastor Lawrence Bishop II told his service Sunday that the church has come under attack for holding services but no one is faulting people "who packed Lowes this morning, elbow to elbow and two-hour wait to get in."
"It's not the people at the bars that are hating on us and attacking us, it's other Christians or other churches and I guess they want to justify their own, listen we're not bashing you if you don't want to have church," Bishop said to a thunderous applause.
The mayor of Monroe, Jason Frentzel urge pastors to implore them to reconsider.

No one is immuned from the coronavirus. There were a handful of entertainers, politicians, people in the news and folks you may have known dying of the COVID-19.
At current pace with 335.3 million folks, we could experience a massive causality event. For ever 5 hours someone is dying from this.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Brix have estimated that the peak of viral spread could reach 4 million with 100,000 to 250,000 deaths.
This is some real crazy shit going on. Everyone, including myself, LeReyna, our contributors, our wonderful readers, our families, our friends, our neighbors and yes, the critics are at risk of COVID-19.
The Squad members are facing primary challengers due to their support of the Bernie Bros.
Three progressive lawmakers now face challengers from the left. They became vocal faces of the progressive movement. Now their support of Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and tepid responses to stopping the Bernie Bros has got them in a quite a fix.
Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) and Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-MN) are going to face primary challengers.
Along with Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA), the ladies make up the squad. They were the surprise victors of the 2018 Democratic primaries. They have been very vocal over issues that face Americans. We love their voices but hate their passion.
Note: Pressley is the only lawmaker to not endorse Sanders for the primary.
But when it comes to the U.S. presidential election, they decided to go extremely partisan.
Tlaib and Omar are the most vocal critics of the status quo. Tlaib who is a Palestine-American and practicing Muslim represents Detroit. Omar is a Somali-American who is a practicing Muslim.
These ladies along with Rep. Andre Carson (D-IN) are Sunni Muslims.
Tlaib was criticized last year for her campaign appearance for Sanders. She openly encouraged Sanders supporters to boo former 2016 Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton. It was a huge mistake that now has her facing a primary challenge.
One in particular served in the Congress for 24 days to finish out John Conyers term. Former congresswoman and Detroit city council member Brenda Jones is going to challenge Tlaib again.
Jones won the special election but ended up losing the primary election. Jones served only a few weeks to oppose the The Jobs and Tax Cuts Act.
Jones is gearing for a rematch against Tlaib. She also tested positive for the coronavirus.
Ocasio-Cortez is the most vocal member of the Squad. Her surprise victory against Joe Crowley became the rally cry for the Justice Democrats, a far-left extremist group of progressives who vow to take on moderate Democrats in safe districts.
The lawmaker is facing five Democratic primary challengers and eight Republican challengers.
Some of the challengers are frustrated over Ocasio-Cortez's tepid support for Sanders. She has distanced herself from the campaign after he embraced the endorsement of Joe Rogan.
She also complained about Bernie Bros and the culture within his campaign.
Omar who is the most villianist member of the Squad is a survivor. She has faced intense scrutiny over her marriages, her stance against Israel and her support for women's rights.
Omar has four primary challengers and two Republican challengers. One challenger is a geeker. The other is an openly gay community organizer. One challenger is Antone Melton-Meaux, a Minneapolis attorney who is hoping to appeal to moderate members of the Democratic Party party frustrated with Omar's controversial stances.
He is likely going to be hard toughest opponent.
The Bernie Bros have turned off Democrats. They believe conspiracy theories about Joe Biden, the frontrunner in the race for the nomination. They have aggressively attacked Biden, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA), Sen. Kamala Harris (D-CA), Beto O'Rourke, Michael Bloomberg, Pete Buttigieg and Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN). All but Warren went on to back Biden over Sanders.
Warren didn't back Sanders. She was really angry over the Bernie Bros and their attacks on her.
The Squad has fizzled out. Since they decided to jump on the populist bandwagon and bashed members of the party, they lost respect.
Now they're begging for the Democratic "establishment" to back their bids for reelection.
I still support these women, but if they're still on this "BERNIE OR BUST" bullshit, it's time to primary them out. We can't have divisiveness within the party. With stakes so high and the COVID-19 spreading, it's not the time for Medicare for All, it's the time for Americans to get treatment now.
No legislation will stop this virus from spreading. So it's best to stop promoting something that's not going to happen overnight.
Fox News under fire for promoting bullshit during a pandemic.
Fox News is an American conservative cable news channel. It's owned by Australian-American billionaire Rupert Murdoch. I dubbed him, Rupert "Pervert" Murdoch for the fact he dates young women and runs a culture of sexism, racism, extremism and yellow journalism in the name of profit.
He is a conservative business executive. His eldest sons Lachlan and James run the company Fox Corporation (a former entity of Newcorp, Inc). Murdoch sold the majority of his networks to the Walt Disney Company and has minor stake in the brand.
The network is provided in the 86 countries and overseas territories.
It operates at 1211 Avenue of the Americas in the city of New York.
It is the number one cable news channel in the United States.
It is vilified by the far-white extremist rhetoric from its hosts and contributors. It's a favorite among Donald J. Trump who actually takes advice from some of the on-air talent.
The most recent talent are now under fire for misleading its coverage in the COVID-19 pandmeic.
Lachlan is facing pressure to clamp down on Fox News talent throwing conspiracy theories in the wake of a public emergency.
James is more moderate than Lachlan. He wanted to do a complete overhaul of its talent.
Trevor Noah and The Daily Show are on hiatus and he's been doing his shows from his home.
He made a supercut of Fox News agitators denouncing the threat and blaming the Democrats for raising concerns.
Sean "Softball" Hannity, the most annoying agitator in the media is the focus of the ire. He is a "shadow chief-of-staff" for Trump.
Softball Hannity, Laura Ingraham, Jesse Watters, Steve Doocy and others crossed a line between opinion and full-on conspiracy theories.
A transparency watchdog’s lawsuit against Fox News over its handling of the Covid-19 pandemic – including repeatedly calling it a hoax during broadcasts – is as novel as the coronavirus but likely won’t get far, according to legal experts.
The Washington League for Transparency and Ethics sued Fox News on Thursday, saying the network’s consistent downplaying of the pandemic in the early stages of the outbreak in the United States encouraged people to behave in ways contrary to what was required to stem the spread.
“Defendants knowingly disseminated false, erroneous, and incomplete information, which was reasonably relied upon by the public and which had the effect of delaying and interfering with the implementation of effective mitigation and countermeasures against the virus,” the League said in the complaint. “Defendants’ actions created an ongoing uncertainty amongst some members of the public as to the dangers of the virus and the rapidity with which the virus spreads.”
WASHLITE said one of its members eventually contracted the coronavirus during epidemiological conditions the plaintiffs allege were created, in part, by the malfeasance of the network.
“The defendants have created an epidemiological hazard,” WASHLITE said in the complaint. “A subset of the population has and will continue to ignore or resist reasonable and necessary efforts to control and mitigate the virus and prevent mass death.”
Fox News dismissed the lawsuit as frivolous.
“Wrong on the facts, frivolous on the law,” said Lily Fu Claffee, general counsel for Fox News Media. “We will defend vigorously and seek sanctions as appropriate.”
Thursday’s lawsuit in Washington state is the first known one of its kind filed against the conservative media organization, although it may not be the last.
Trump has been taking most of the blame for his handling of the coronavirus. Yet, he continues to blame the governors, Barack Obama and the junk food media for his handling of this.

Donald J. Trump and Republicans haven't let the Ukraine issue go. They are going to try to rehash up the allegations against former vice president Joe Biden and his son Hunter.
So during the third week of this national pandemic, Trump has decided to fire the captain of USS Theodore Roosevelt and the Inspector General who alerted Congress to the whistleblower's allegations against him.
Capt. Brett E. Crozier was relieved of his duties of the naval vessel after he wrote a letter to his superiors demanding more help with his crew. Some of the members of his vessel were testing positive for the COVID-19.
The reason for his cannon firing were because the message was leaked to the junk food media.
In other words, it makes Trump look bad in the time of a pandemic. Trust me, he's already failed by not taking the potential spread of the coronavirus seriously.
He was given a rousing send off from his crew. His crew cheered as he was sent off the vessel.
So another cannon firing happened this week. The Inspector General for the U.S. Intelligence Agencies Michael Atkinson was fired out the cannon.
Trump formally notified the intelligence committees of both the House and Senate that the decision.
Rep. Adam Schiff (D-CA) who was involved in the impeachment trial slammed Trump.
Trump’s dead of night decision to fire ICIG Michael Atkinson is another blatant attempt to gut the independence of the Intelligence Community and retaliate against those who dare to expose presidential wrongdoing.
In a statement, Schiff claimed the move puts the country "at even greater risk."
"Trump’s dead of night decision to fire ICIG Michael Atkinson is another blatant attempt to gut the independence of the Intelligence Community and retaliate against those who dare to expose presidential wrongdoing," he said.
House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA), blasted the president's move as "a brazen act against a patriotic public servant who has honorably performed his duty to protect the Constitution and our national security, as required by the law and by his oath.
Trump fires the intelligence inspector general who brought the whistleblower's complaint to Congress.
“This latest act of reprisal against the Intelligence Community threatens to have a chilling effect against all willing to speak truth to power," Pelosi continued. "The President must immediately cease his attacks on those who sacrifice to keep America safe, particularly during this time of national emergency.”
Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-NY) , condemned the president's action in a pair of late-night Twitter messages.
"Whether it's LTC Vindman, Captain Crozier, or Intelligence Community Inspector General Michael Atkinson: President Trump fires people for telling the truth," Schumer wrote in one message.
"Michael Atkinson is a man of integrity who has served our nation for almost two decades," he added in a second post. "Being fired for having the courage to speak truth to power makes him a patriot."
Trump added he would nominate a replacement "who has my full confidence and who meets the appropriate qualifications," at a later time.
Tom Monheim, a career intelligence professional, will be named acting inspector general for the intelligence community, an intelligence official who requested anonymity told The Associated Press. Monheim is currently general counsel of the National Geospatial-Intelligence Agency.
Democrats argued that the president had tied the investigation request to the withholding of U.S. military aid from Ukraine, in what they described as a "quid pro quo" arrangement. But Trump denied any wrongdoing in connection with Ukraine.
The House ultimately impeached Trump on charges of abuse of power and obstruction of Congress -- but the Senate acquitted Trump of the charges in February.
American bus driver ominous message about the coronavirus goes viral.
A brave man who worked to make sure people get to their destinations around Metro Detroit, Michigan passed away from the COVID-19.
Jason Hargrove who worked for Detroit SMART Bus lines passed away two weeks ago. He died of from the complications of the coronavirus.
He made an angry rant on social media about an older passenger coughing and wheezing on the bus putting hundreds of riders and himself at risk.
The woman didn't take active measures to prevent the spread of COVID-10 and his death was announced this week. He died on March 21, shortly after catching a fever.
"For us to get through this and get over this, y'all need to take this shit seriously," said Hargrove.
"There's folks dying out here."
Detroit's mayor Mike Duggan and Michigan governor Gretchen Whitmer condemned the rider's action and praised the bus driver for doing his job serving the community.
Whitmer declared a stay at home order for the state. Those who are traveling in Michigan are told to be essential. If folks are out an about, they are to just grab a few things and head home.
Hargrove wasn’t the only bus driver angry about working without protective gear or any means to protect themselves. Several bus drivers staged a walkout on March 17, just four days before Hargrove posted his now viral video. It was only after that that they started receiving gloves and wearing masks when “they could get them” according to Glenn Tolbert, president of the bus drivers’ union. After the walkout, Tolbert said the fleet was cleaned and sanitized, but wonders if that was enough.
“We see more sick people than any doctor,” Tolbert told CNN’s Anderson Cooper. “We are the first responders before the first responders, because we pick up the sick taking them to the hospitals.”
When the mayor of Detroit met with reporters on Thursday, April 2, he told them that bus drivers previously complained of sick passengers getting on the bus, coughing and sneezing right in front of them, as passengers paid their bus fare. Since Hargrove’s passing, the mayor acknowledged watching his video and recommended that everyone in America sees it too.
“I don’t know how you can watch it and not tear up,” the mayor said. “He knew his life was being put in jeopardy even though he was going to work for the citizens of Detroit every day, by somebody who just didn’t care, somebody who didn’t take this seriously. And now he’s gone.”
As a remedy to that situation, Detroit bus drivers are no longer collecting fares at all, and passengers are only allowed to enter the bus through the rear doors. Unfortunately, that wasn’t an option for Hargrove who was diagnosed with the deadly virus shortly after he posted his video, and died days later.
As of the morning of April 4, 2020, the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus (COVID-19) in Michigan has risen to 12,744, with 479 deaths, according to state officials.
Before he passed, he was doing a stay-in concert on his social media.
There are over 300,000 confirm cases of the coronavirus in the United States. There are over 10,000 Americans who have died from the coronavirus. The places where the most deaths are happening are in New York, New Jersey, Florida, California, Michigan and Louisiana. Every state has reported a death and its rising fast.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Brix have predicted that there could be over 100,000 to 4 million Americans killed by 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.
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.

Legendary soul and jazz singer Bill Withers passed away.
No one is safe from the coronavirus.
Legendary jazz and soul singer Bill Withers passed away at the age of 81 from heart complications and it's not confirmed yet but it may have something to due with COVID-19.
The three time Grammy winner left the music scene in the mid-1980s but left us some of the best songs to get through the coronavirus pandemic.
"Lean on Me" and "Lovely Day" are some of his best hits. His single "Just The Two Of Us" with Grover Washington, Jr. is also well-known hit.
Listen the Essential Bill Withers, here.
His death comes as the public has drawn inspiration from the pandemic. Healthcare workers, first responders and choirs are singing Withers as they are getting through this pandemic.
Over 10,000 people were killed by the COVID-19. There are over 600,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the United States.
"We are devastated by the loss of our beloved, devoted husband and father. A solitary man with a heart driven to connect to the world at large, with his poetry and music, he spoke honestly to people and connected them to each other," the family said in a statement. "As private a life as he lived close to intimate family and friends, his music forever belongs to the world. In this difficult time, we pray his music offers comfort and entertainment as fans hold tight to their loved ones."
"Lean on Me," a paeon to friendship, was performed at the inaugurations of both Barack Obama and Bill Clinton. "Ain't No Sunshine" and "Lean on Me" are among Rolling Stone's list of 500 Greatest Songs of All Time.
Withers was born in Slab Fork, West Virginia. He was an active musician from 1963 to 1985.
Bill Withers was the Black everyman.
Withers, the youngest of six children, was born in a coal mining town. He was born with a sutter and said that he had trouble trying to fit in. He grew up in the city of Beckley. His father died at age 13.
He would provide for the family by enlisting the U.S. Navy at the age of 18. He served for nine years during the time he overcame his stuttering and began a career of singing and songwriting.
He left the Navy in 1965. Using the $250 he received from selling his furniture to IBM co-worker Ron Sierra, he relocated to Los Angeles in 1967 to start a music career. He was working at Douglas Aircraft Corporation, while recording demo tapes with his own money, shopping around and performing in clubs at night. When he debuted the "Ain't No Sunshine," he refused to quit his job because he feared that the rock star life was minor and it wouldn't help him make a living.
His second studio album, Still Bill broke the barriers with the singles "Lean on Me" and "Use Me."
Before he retired from the music industry, he had eight albums, one studio album and numerous compilations of his greatest singles.
His death comes on the heels of many celebrities and everyone in the world dying from the coronavirus.
Trump knows his legacy is now focused on the coronavirus. It's already destroyed the U.S. economy.
I want to first say, thank you for reading Journal de la Reyna, Regardless of the outcomes, we will still be here for you.
If anything does happen to me, LeReyna or anyone who contributes to the blog, we'll try to keep you informed as best as possible.
I am cautious and slightly concerned about the direction of the country. I don't see a light at the end of this tunnel. We may be heading into a depression thanks to the failed leadership of our president and the federal government. No one is safe.
The Great American Comeback!
We'll see what happens!
Despite a handful of mass shootings, the coronavirus and the uncertainty of the global trade market, the U.S. Department of Labor releases its February jobs report.
There are over 300,000 confirm cases of the coronavirus in the United States. There are over 10,000 Americans who have died from the coronavirus. The places where the most deaths are happening are in New York, New Jersey, Florida, California, Michigan and Louisiana. Every state has reported a death and its rising fast.
Dr. Anthony Fauci and Dr. Deborah Brix have predicted that there could be over 100,000 to 4 million Americans killed by the coronavirus.
Here's a map of the coronavirus spread.
We are in a medical crisis and at early stages of a recession. No one could have predicted how much damage one president has caused to this country. The Simpsons may have prove to the world that Donald J. Trump is a terrible president. A former reality television star and business mogul with no politic experience becoming the current president. A vein man who is willing to drag everyone into the cesspool because of his massive ego. A man who sold Americans he's a "change agent."
A man who is still obsessed with his predecessor Barack Obama. He blames Obama for the mess he's created. He was going to use Obama, Hillary Clinton and his eventual opponent as scapegoats.
He will likely continue to do so. He still has a loyal base of supporters and despite them being affected by this. He will continue to win their support and it may help carry him into reelection victory.
A title that is now irrelevant because of this COVID-19 pandemic. President Donald J. Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, Congress, the 54 state and territorial governors, Washington, DC's mayor, the city mayors, state legislatures, the junk food media are trying to calm a nation of uncertainty.
Everyone is affected by the coronavirus. The two remaining candidates in the Democratic primary race are idling. Joe Biden can't do campaigning. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) can't do campaigning.
Trump was banking on the economy and jobs. He was hoping that Biden will be scapegoated with the Ukraine nonsense. He was hoping that Sanders would be too polarizing for moderates and independents. Trump is the third U.S. president to be impeached while in office. He was indicted on misuse of power and failure to comply to Congressional request. The U.S. Senate choose not to convict him on a partisan line vote.
The Coronavirus Task Force is still trying to calm a nation.
Trump clinched the nomination amount to be the nominee. However he can't campaign or brag about it. But he sure as hell is bragging about ratings when he does these Coronavirus Task Force briefings.
Sanders who has no reasonable path to the nomination is still in this race and is calling for states to delay primaries. He rather put more lives at risk to save his disastrous campaign. His push for Medicare for All is falling flat. Everyone including the insurance companies are suffering. It is a virus that doesn't discriminate.
The impact has affected the economy. The economy is unstable right now. The reasonable gains that Trump bragged about are gone. His reelection chances are down from 65% to now somewhere between 45% and 53% in most betting trades.
DONALD J. TRUMP HAS A 51% CHANCE OF WINNING REELECTION.
The unemployment numbers for the month of March are not good. I mean it's not good at all.
The U.S. officially shed 701,000 jobs in March, but the statistics don't show the worst because they were gathered before the massive laid offs.
So the for the 50 states, five territories and the District of Columbia there were Americans who lost their jobs despite the massive unemployment claims of two weeks ago.
The U.S. Census is ongoing with massive restrictions. They are going to collect information on the latest amount of Americans and nationals living here in the country.
So far we have 335.3 million people living here. We are in a massive causality event. For ever 5 hours someone is dying from this. Over 4,000 people have died from the coronavirus. It has surpassed the 9/11 casualties. The 9/11 terrorist attack took nearly 3,000 lives. We on track to take over 10,000 or more at present date.
The unemployment rate went up to 4.4% from a 50-year low of 3.5%.
The real unemployment number could rise to 15% or higher.
Last month's actual job loss was likely even larger because the government surveyed employers before the heaviest layoff hit in the past two weeks. Nearly 10 million Americans applied for unemployment benefits in the last two weeks of March, far exceeding the figure for any corresponding period on record.
The service industry took a massive hit. Hotels, restaurants, casinos, department stores, auto factories, movie theaters, administrative offices, warehouses and other service based jobs are wiped out.
The U.S. added 23 million jobs throughout the 2010s. Now nearly all of that is at risk of destruction.
Things that make you go hmmm....!
1. Donald J. Trump becomes the third U.S. President to be impeached while in office. He escapes being removed from office by the U.S. Senate. The Senate rejects witnesses and evidence. They quickly acquitted Trump. The trial offered extensive evidence. Republicans weren't convinced by the evidence and voted to acquit him. This acquittal assures Trump will ask for help from foreign entities yet again. 2. The Democrats have rallied around Joe Biden in the race to replace Trump. The only candidates that are running are Biden and Bernie Sanders. Most state primaries are postponed until further notice. The Democrats feel comfortable with Biden. Biden cannot do really much. He is pretty much waiting for this to end so he can return to campaigning. Trump can't campaign either. He was hoping to rehash the Ukraine controversy which got him impeached. 3. The U.S. has nearly 500,000 confirmed cases of the coronavirus. The disease has spread across the states and many individuals are dying from it. Trump is blaming Barack Obama for his failure to get the ball rolling on prevention. Trump deregulations have finally taken a toll. 4. Brick and mortar stores are shuttering in suburbia. JCPenney, Macy's, Pier 1 Imports, Forever 21, Hallmark, Kmart, Sears, Walgreens, Walmart, Kroger are closing stores. Walmart and Kroger are no longer operating stores on a 24-hour format. The coronavirus has changed the dynamic of operations in superstores. They are closing stores at midnight and 1am to eliminate workers. 5. No one is seeing the results of the Job and Tax Cuts Act passed in 2017. The tax cuts are not showing massive success. So far, no change in the wage gap between the middle class and wealthy. We just passed another trillion dollar stimulus to help Americans. It won't save the economy. 6. Folks are working one or more jobs to stay afloat. Now they're laid off as well. Conservatives have claimed that Americans who use the safety net are lazy. They now see the impact of Americans being laid off from their jobs (at no fault of their own). They still are trying to make the argument that folks who are now getting these checks are going to demand more. A measly $1,200 isn't going to help Americans spend. It's going to help them one time with bills and rent. They don't realize that many Americans are working more than 40 hours and are often staying longer hours or working a second job to pay rent, mortgage or vehicle expenses. Insurance rates are up due to Trump rolling back regulations, eliminating the insurance mandate of the Affordable Care Act, and private insurance companies aren't paying for natural disasters and human based disasters. 7. Trump and his administration did subliminal cuts to food stamps, housing credits and disaster relief. The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the Trump administration in their attempts to cut the safety net from immigrants who have American born children and working class families who are struggling to find food in area affected by food deserts, blight and natural disasters. 8. The Supreme Court has postponed many cases. Some of the most controversial cases involve women's rights, LGBTQ rights, land disputes and executive powers of Trump.
Nonetheless, Republicans will conclude that Trump's economy is great. Democrats will conclude that Trump's economy sucks. None of them will offer much other than the same old tired talking points about tax cuts, raising taxes on the rich and fixing roads and bridges. The same old shit but from a different face.
No one can wait forever for changes. Congress is made up of old, white and well off politicians.
Those die-hard Trump supporters will say that his leadership is successful. All the while, they find that their average wages are stalling. Many of these Trump supporters probably lost their jobs. Some are probably losing their homes due to flooding, wildfires and foreclosure. Some Trump supporters lost family members or got infected by the coronavirus.Trump supporters are concerned about their lives as well.
The safety net is being stretched to the brink.
Food prices, energy prices, rent, city services and college education have risen. With folks not working, the fears of being thrown on the street are live and direct. Folks are struggling to make ends meet as well as landlords, mortgage brokers and those who need the money to repair facilities.
Real Reason To Why Unemployment Rate Stays The Way It Is!
1. DEAD 2. BORN 3. IN PRISON 4. IN PRIMARY SCHOOL 5. IN MIDDLE SCHOOL 6. IN HIGH SCHOOL 7. IN COLLEGE NOT LOOKING 8. VOLUNTEER 9. DISABLED 10. STAY AT HOME PARENT 11. RETIRED 12. QUIT ON THEIR OWN 13. NOT HIRING QUALIFIED 14. NATURAL DISASTERS 15. ACTIVE MILITARY 16. NOT HIRING TOO QUALIFIED 17. LAID OFF 18. FIRED FROM THE JOB 19. DESTRUCTION TO FACILITY 20. OUTSOURCING 21. IMMIGRANTS TOO AFRAID OF BEING DETAINED BY I.C.E. 22. SHAMED BY SOCIAL MEDIA
Let me remind you, that Trump and Republicans believe rolling back regulations and austerity are the key factors to a strong economy and job market. The Republicans are not in control of the House of Representatives. The Democrats now control the House and will push for an agenda that Trump will likely oppose. Republicans in the Senate will continue to pass ridiculous laws that hurt the working class and middle class. They are already streamlining federal judges that could rollback years of progress.
Trump and Republicans believe that trickle down economics (i.e. free market capitalism) is helping Americans. Really, it's making people work harder and we're not seeing the benefits of it. So far private equity firms are buying corporations and piling on debt. These corporations can't sustain the debt and are forced to declare bankruptcy and eventually liquidation. Many of our nation's largest companies and start-ups have equity firms investing in them. When the firms want their money, they're going to get their money.
With Republicans trying to dismantle the Affordable Care Act, many of Trump's die hard supporters are going to get a culture shock when they find out their health coverage from their employer is terminated due to the coronavirus and states pulling out of the Healthcare Marketplace.
The Jobs and Tax Cut Act and the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act has added trillions of dollars of debt to the economy. The results of the tax cuts haven't produced the stability. It's still considered a very unpopular law.
Trump is destroying the economy, causing uncertainty in world and is bring chaos wherever he lands.
There is nothing positive about him and the Republican Party.
Takashi 6ix9ine is out of federal time out and is in protected custody on in-house. He was granted release from the U.S. federal due to the coronavirus.
The 23-year old former rapper was released quietly to a place in Queens.
"He's out and he's very happy to be released," said his lawyer Lance Lazzaro.
Born Daniel Hernandez, he was then a rapper, social media influence, and former member of the domestic terrorist group The Bloods. He will be tested for the coronavirus.
The former rapper "must remain at his residence except to seek any necessary medical treatment or to visit his attorney, in each instance with prior notice and approval from the U.S. Marshals and Probation Department."
The controversial rapper is on house arrest.
6ix9ine got an approval from the judge that he won't cause any trouble. He has completed 94% of his federal time out. The judge at first denied his request for early release. However due to the coronavirus and the possibility of it spreading around New York City, the judge had to reconsider the level of offenders to be release to in-house instead of being exposed to the possible virus.
He was arrested on weapons charges, racketeering, drug charges and possible criminal intent to murder. The former rapper had testified against his former manager Kifano "Shotti" Jordan and three other men who were associated with the domestic terrorist group Nine-Treys.
Hernandez has a criminal history that ranges from domestic violence, unlawful conduct with a minor, felonious assault, theft, and robbery.
They placed a "all-points" on him. In 2018, he was kidnapped, stripped naked and robbed of his jewelry.
That "all-points" means that 6ix9ine is a marked. Some martyr will attempt to murder the former rapper.
He ratted out notable members of the Bloods. Some include rapper Jim Jones, Cardi B and Trippie Redd.
