Saturday, May 2, 2020

And another day of crowds, nightmares, differences, threats, punishment, domestic abuse, and oil and gas executives comes to a close:

“Every man must decide whether he will walk in the light of creative altruism or in the darkness of destructive selfishness.” -- Martin Luther King, Jr.

Deaths
US: 67,444 (+1678)
World: 244,773 (+5181)

Countdown: 185 days.

Another wave of coronavirus will likely hit the US in the fall. Here's why and what we can do to stop it.

Pelosi And McConnell Decline White House Offer Of Coronavirus Tests For Capitol Hill.

In quest for vaccine, US makes 'big bet' on company with unproven technology.

Biden denies Tara Reade sexual assault allegation, calls for release of records.

Obama team fully vetted Biden in 2008 and found no hint of former aide's allegation. Through that entire process, the name Tara Reade never came up. No formal complaint. No informal chatter. Certainly, no intimation of sexual harassment or assault from her or anyone else. The team of investigators, expert in their work, would not have missed it.

Biden accuser Tara Reade 'not sure' what complaint she claims was filed with Senate says.

Trump vs. Biden is the 2020 election nightmare women like me warned America about. As both a Democrat and one of so many Americans who are raped in their lifetimes, I will be asked to sidestep my trauma to vote for a man who could very well be an abuser.

As some big cities were already seeing their populations dip, experts say the coronavirus pandemic could change who opts to live in them.

Crowds gathered at National Mall to watch Blue Angels, Thunderbirds flyover.

“I’m your dog and I’m worried about you.” “I don’t mean to pry, but, starting a few weeks back, you’ve . . . been around more. As in, all the time. Which is totally cool, but it seems like something’s off, so I figured I’d check in.”

The coronavirus left one Chicago neighborhood reeling. Blocks away, residents are living life largely as normal. The difference? Income and race.

The other death toll from the coronavirus pandemic. The police are harassing, beating and even killing people while enforcing COVID-19 lockdowns across the world.

After employees receive threats, one Oklahoma city is forced to nix rule requiring face masks in businesses.

Texas park ranger pushed into water after reminding crowd about social distancing.

Reporter says he was punished for revealing Pence's office knew about Mayo Clinic's mask policy before his visit.

In some countries, men are more likely than women to agree that men should have more right to a job in hard times.

The lockdown is causing a surge in domestic abuse against LGBT people. LGBT parents are for the first time being homophobically abused by their own kids. And LGBT teens are being thrown out - dumped on the street.

Coronavirus poses huge threat to entertainment industry.

Climate activist Greta Thunberg is donating prize money she won to help fight the coronavirus pandemic and protect children from its potentially detrimental consequences.

Last month, the White House named nearly 200 people to its “opening the country” council. The 12-member energy panel includes eight oil and gas executives who have donated millions to Trump and other Republican campaigns in recent years.

About 50% of employees at an Indiana food processing plant tested positive for coronavirus.

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

Until next time, my friends. Good night.
