    Thousands of people will not be able to pay their medical bills if they enter a hospital for help. Over 28 million Americans don't have insurance & many more lost it when they got laid off.

    Something needs to be done or people will become bankrupt, lose their homes etc.

    At least one judge, in Florida, has asked lawyers to keep it professional during video calls. One male lawyer appeared shirtless and one female attorney appeared still in bed, still under the covers.

    Only in Floriduh

    Sadly true. And not only Trump and his administration refuse to open Affordable Care Act (ACA), or Obama Care, special enrollment for the people who lose their health insurance by this Covid-19 pandemic. But Trump administration's AG Bill Barr has put up to repeal ACA in the US Supreme Court.

       I'm still scratchin my on this. Can someone explain? I live in Maryland - the ACA ended dec31st,2019 for the 2020

      year. Gov Hogan reopened the ACA (Not sure when) and re-extended it from april 30th to june 30th. My question- If trump banned the re-opening

      of ACA , how did Mryland do it with several other states? The only explanation I can come up with is Maryland initiated before the President's

     declaration. Then, if that is indeed the case, how can he declare a federal proclamation and eliminate states who didn't get in pre-Trump"s decision? I

     need help here! Where is the fairness?

    And now a very important message from Dr. Anthony Fauci:

    ”Hello and thank you all for being her today.”

    ”As many of you know, three months ago we believed Covid-19 was not transmissible from person-to-person contact, and it could not be airborne.”

    ”We were wrong.”

    ”And in late February, during an interview, I told people there was nothing to worry about. And they could continue to go about their day-to-day routine.”

    ”I was not correct.”

    ”The CDC originally told people not to use medical masks.  We made you believe that they weren’t useful.  But, really we just didn’t want people to buy them all.”

    ”So, the CDC lied.”

    ”We issued an announcement, suggesting all stores close immediately, except for those that don’t have to.  And, we asked people not to wear gloves.”

    ”Then we realized we were wrong.”

    ”We recommended everyone shelter-in-place.”

    ”But many health experts suggest lots of fresh air and exercise are essential for preventing a respiratory illness.”

    ”We told you animals couldn’t get the coronavirus.”

    ”Then a group of tigers got sick.”

    ”If you are sick you can’t go out.  But, you can go to the pharmacy.  That makes sense, right?”

    ”We told you the virus remains active on different surfaces for 2 hours, or possibly 4, or maybe 6, or maybe several days.”

    ”Honestly, we don’t know.”

    ”We also told you that we still had no treatment, except that there may be one. That apparently is not dangerous, unless you take too much.  Which is the case with all medications.”

    ”So, that’s Trump’s fault, according to the Democrats.”

    ”And while we admit we were very wrong in the past, we have a new announcement.”

    ”A medical expert from Harvard University, says we may have to continue to social-distance until 2022.”

    ”You trust the medical experts, right?”

    “I’m Dr. fauci. I’ll see you all later today, during the Whitehouse press conference, when The Donald and I scream at the reporters.”

    ”Have a nice day.”

    Currently 4th on the front page of Steve Quayle. Robert Kennedy Jr drops bombshells on Dr Fauci for medical coverups and fraud. He poisoned an entire generation.

    Radio interview of Robert Kennedy Jr is included included.

    I am shocked Michael Savage has not convinced President Trump to fire the doctor from hell!

    US has a patchwork healthcare system.  Some states allow special enrollment so that Americans can buy insurance because they run their own market exchanges.  However Trump has made a mistake by not reopening enrollment for most states.  Uninsured sick people are more likely to delay treatment and continue to spread infection to other people.  This increases costs for everyone since emergency care is more expensive than primary care.  Pandemics highlight the importance of universal healthcare.

    WHO isn't responsible for US slow response to pandemic according to Council for foreign relations.  Other countries received the same information but respond faster than the US.  Fault is in Trump's reluctance to listen to experts because of his suspicions they are part of the deep state working against him.  However there is no evidence that a deep state exists according to investigations by state and justice departments.

    American medical association criticizes Trump halt to WHO funding because Americans would be less safe.  To defeat a pandemic, international cooperation and data are necessary.  Trump brags about travel bans despite history proving their ineffectiveness.  US and Italy became epicenters of coronavirus outbreak despite implementing China travel bans at the same time.  WHO, John Hopkins center for health security and National academy of sciences are right.

    "The briefings began as a good idea to educate the public about the dangers of the virus. But sometime in the last three weeks Mr. Trump seems to have concluded that the briefings could be a showcase for him. The President's outbursts against his political critics are notably off key at this moment. This isn't impeachment, and Covid-19 isn't shifty Schiff. It's a once-a-century threat to American life and livelihood.

    Well said. Many states have opened the special ACA enrollment for people just lost their jobs as well as health insurances by this Covid-19 pandemic. 

    Colorado, Connecticut, Maryland, Massachusetts, Nevada, New York, Rhode Island, and Washington are those nine states opening ACA special enrollments. While California and Washington D.C. have already opened the ACA re-enrollment prior to those nine states. Noticeably, correct me if i'm wrong, all of these 11 states appear to be blue states.

    Pfffft....22 million jobs gone.

    We need to get testing on a mass level to reopen the economy.

    Now the SBA is out of money for the little guys??? 

    I'd like to see where this money went, wouldn't you?

    South Dakota is currently experiencing one of the highest rates of new COVID-19 cases in the US. From Monday 4/6 to Sunday 4/12, the state saw a 154% increase over the week.

    Hey Governor...ya think it's time to implement "stay at home" yet?

    South Dakota already implements social distancing.  Lol.  Have you ever been there, Midnight ?!  

    So, the number has increased from 100 to 154 people (I'm guessing it's not in the "thousands")...   South Dakota just might be the polar opposite of NYC.  Nothing to fear here, Midnight....

    South Dakota has 1,168 confirmed cases of COVID-19, according to the state's health department. An additional 8,691 tests have come back negative for the virus. At least 329 patients have recovered from the virus, and 51 have been hospitalized.

    The state has so far seen six deaths from COVID-19. The first death was a man in his 60s from Pennington County who had underlying health conditions

    Seems what they have been/not been doing is working fine so far compared to a lot of other places:

    9859 tested so .1184%

    6 dead so .005%

    Not sure where you get your data but South Dakota has over 1,300 infected. And they are later to the game.

    If they are working in meat packing factories, I'd be a little concerned. But that's just me being a Democrat and caring about the safety of all.

    If everyone just took the time to do what you just did Europa, the world would be a much better place. In a snap of the fingers, our places in life could be reversed & we become the parents scrounging around for our kid's food.
