In Europe, Indefinite Lockdowns, Spiraling Death Tolls. In The US, A ‘Totally Bizarre’ Soap Opera
For the third straight day, Spain recorded a record number of coronavirus fatalities, and governments around the world are starting to come to terms with the notion that containment measures could remain in effect for quite a while.
838 people died in Spain on Sunday, and the capacity of the country's ICU units was stretched to the limit over the weekend. Nearly 4,500 patients were put in intensive care on Saturday alone, exceeding the official capacity of the country's ICU facilities. 6,528 pe

Domestic Violence is absolutely related to CV as being forced to stay at home increases the risk of it occurring.
I guess that’s true. Just wasn’t sure if they were related in this particular spending bill

Down inside the trench of my unemployment battle, my latest step forward, to even begin a request to file a claim has me a. It down.

Once again, the only thing this virus understands ( or wants ) is fing money!
I’d insert Beatles money song, but no need to get Mr H irritated
Was just reading about GDP and unemployment in Australia. It’s worth pondering that Trump related political dynamics may very well hold back a global recovery. Is it unrealistic to conceive that bombastic ignorance from our King, will be met with hostility? Are there world leaders besides Putin who rely on his support, especially during a global crisis?
“And in this instance we need to consider the virus and the response of governments around the world. The global economy is only as strong as the weakest link. And right now the US, led by Donald Trump, is in a pitiful state”
