Friday, March 27, 2020

And another day of the President of the United States favoring some Americans over others comes to a horrendous close:

“If anyone’s going to bring about mass extinction, it’ll be Donald Trump.” -- Nikki Glaser

Deaths

World: 27,359 (+3286)

US coronavirus cases reach more than 101,000 as reported deaths hit new daily high.

“Don’t call the governor of Washington.” — Donald Trump. — “Trump Says That Due to the Democratic Governors of Washington (3,369 Coronavirus Cases) and Michigan (3,657 Cases)—the Latter of Whom He Calls "the Woman in Michigan"—Not Being "Appreciative" Enough of Him, He Has Told the Coronavirus Task Force Head "Not to Call Them"”. — Seth Abramson. — He’s playing with people’s lives in “blue states” and many are okay with that.

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer says shipments of medical supplies were "canceled" or "delayed" and sent to the federal government.

Beyond Narcissism, Trump’s Other Personality Flaws Are Putting Americans at Risk. His obsession with revenge and his fatalism are endangering the nation. — These are not the qualities of a good leader. The things he’s said regarding revenge (and some of them are in this article) are just not what this country ever needs from its leaders.

Coronavirus modelers factor in new public health risk: Accusations their work is a hoax. This is why epidemiology exists. Its practitioners use math and scientific principles to understand disease, project its consequences and figure out ways to survive and overcome it. Their models are not meant to be crystal balls predicting exact numbers or dates. They forecast how diseases will spread under different conditions. And their models allow policymakers to foresee challenges, understand trend lines, and make the best decisions for public good...In recent days, a growing contingent of Trump supporters have pushed the narrative that health experts are part of a deep-state plot to hurt Trump’s reelection efforts by damaging the economy and keeping America shut down as long as possible. — America: 2020.

FDA authorizes 15-minute coronavirus test.

Coronavirus: Teenage boy (17) died after being turned away from urgent care for not having insurance. “The Friday before he died, he was healthy,” the mayor said about the teenager. “By Wednesday, he was dead.”

US private health insurance companies clog system amid Covid-19 pandemic. Patients left waiting in beds until private insurance companies authorize next steps, which can take days.

Unemployment reaches historic highs in Washington state.

Female Genital Mutilation is about men. They must help end it. The minute a girl is born into a society that accepts female genital mutilation (FGM), her life is mapped. Her right to marry, her right to education, her right to explore, is decided for her. Why? Because she is an asset, a commodity. And like any other asset or commodity, she can be profitable, or she can be disposable. FGM, also called "cutting", happens when she is treated as both. — This is not a cultural practice, it’s a human rights issue.

Life’s short. Live, love, create, and help others.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
