And another day of plagues, extensions, recommendations, broken ventilators, a lost deal with the Devil, sexual assault allegations, and warm baths comes to a close:

“Let’s be honest. We have come to tolerate an infantile person in a grown man’s job, a baby in a suit.” - Mitch Albom

Deaths
US: 2,484 (+257)
World: 33,976 (+3097)

The plague of Donald Trump. “This is who Mr. Trump is, who he always was. In a time when everything is changing, you can rely on Mr. Trump’s apathy to suffering.”

The exponential growth in U.S. coronavirus cases and deaths falls in line with some predictive models that suggest that in the coming weeks, it could begin to see death tolls in the thousands every day.

White House extends social distancing guidelines to April 30. According to Fauci, the US could see up to 200,000 deaths.

California governor: 170 ventilators sent from Trump administration were 'not working'. — Highly doubtful this was accident.

Healthcare workers at the Miami VA hospital are being told to reuse one surgical mask for a week at a time starting Monday.

Louisiana governor calls on feds to send ventilators as coronavirus spreads.

Some governors have stepped up during coronavirus crisis, others not so much.

Liberty University, which partly reopened its campus amid the coronavirus pandemic, confirmed they now have almost a dozen students sick with potential COVID-19 symptoms. — Jerry Falwell, Jr. made a deal with the devil. And lost.

For some, the last opportunity to visit loved ones will be behind glass.

Bored shoppers crowd 'essential' stores for nonessentials.

We’re the makers, they’re the takers: Billionaires only exist because we let them.

State data indicates we’re headed for another record unemployment week. From Pennsylvania to Oklahoma, things are getting worse.

Minnesota and Vermont have classified grocery workers as emergency personnel, which allows them access to free child care. Now grocery workers are demanding that California do the same.

While you were distracted by Covid-19, States Quietly Pass Laws Criminalizing Fossil Fuel Protests. Over the past two weeks, Kentucky, South Dakota and West Virginia approved new laws meant to discourage Dakota Access-style protests. More are on the way.

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
