I'm not clear on what's happening but the pictures are crowds that look like something out of NYE in NYC
How will NYC kids get fed and homeless kids get housed during day? There has to be a solution for this before the schools get shut down.Looks like most states are waiting until its too late to close schools.

Why are people crowding into airports? Because of the travel ban? Are people trying to fly into or out of NPC/Chicago? Sorry I'm a bit lost.
This has been my husband's nightmare and project for the last few days. We don't have anywhere near that many kids who are homeless or go without (so far as we know.) He was able to, in about 48 hours, by throwing enough money at the problem arrange to feed as many as 300 kids over the next 3 weeks. it took him less than 2 days to do this. Our local city is supposedly going to try to file paperwork to provide lunches for kids on Monday. That's when they're going to file whatever they have to. it takes about a week or so to get approval and start back up, apparently. So that's at least a week kids are just supposed to starve?How will NYC kids get fed and homeless kids get housed during day? There has to be a solution for this before the schools get shut down.
114k kids are homeless. Far more only get meals through school. There has to be a funding solution for that.
It seems like there is a new screening process in place, I have no idea what it is, but it's obviously creating waaaaaaaaaaaay more problem that it can possibly solve, whatever they did it need to be rolled back, now.Why are people crowding into airports?

I have no idea about the legality of this, especially not when everyone is in a state of emergency that grant the government a whole lot of powers, but I think if you do it without federal coordination you will see massive disruption of many supply chains, including critical ones.Can a city or state lockdown itself or is federal cooperation required?
I'm not sure anyone has ever tested the idea, but we're bound to find out soon!Can a city or state lockdown itself or is federal cooperation required?
Tapper thread that spells out that Republicans were basically opposed to any kind of paid leave
What does "we have to expect more from Congress" have to do with it? Half the Hill is run by a party that wants to do nothing but cut taxes and that's it. The bill isn't the best that Dems could think of, it's the best that they can get passed with the Senate GOP.We got to expect more from Congress, we really really do, we need to.
And if nothing else, we can't be celebrating this type as this amazing win for working people, even without those giant loopholes it falls massively short from what this country needs right now.
If that's a stopgap than fine, but get back right now and try to pass something on top that. The country needs a whole lot more support from the federal government.
So the speed of the enhanced screening might be making things worse? Uuuuuuuuugh
Does she even have an illness? I'm assuming this is referring to the RNC chair
What are you talking about?Is NYC getting to the point yet where people are bailing out of the city?
I imagine that is soon.
Good luck America I guess.
Edit: oh, well it looks like it's starting to happen right now. Awesome.
We're fucked.
Yeah, weird federal paid sick leave is better than the no sick leave (not now, not ever) that was the alternative option.
You cannot shame the Republicans or the president into doing what you want. House Republicans have no incentive to yield (because we can safely pass legislation without them), and the president simply doesn't give a shit about anything but himself.
If the language in the bill means that the public health emergency supersedes the limitations (meaning they won't apply to COVID-19), then I think it's a good start, and it's not worth killing the whole bill just to try to get a permanent sick leave law when the crisis is already upon us.

Damn those airport pics. Literally the only thing they could be screening for is a fever and that process has been solved in many of countries. They just ask you to take your hat off as you're walking in and they point a temp gun at you. You don't even have to stop moving.
Of course the US fucks up something this easy.
He should own it first. Then he wouldn't have to engage in high-risk behavior at a hotel.
I think the details coming out suggest that it is restricted even for the emergency declaration (the portions we had here used different language that suggested possibly different definitions, but the analysis seems to say that the restrictions cover everything).Yup, you either pass something flawed to help some people, or you pass nothing and your must vulnerable constituents suffer.
It's not a level playing field when the other party has a base that is disproportionately richer and also in favor of destructive nihilism.
As someone who lived through a Hurricane Andrew, where it was closest to a lockdown state, IIRC it is up to the state to activate the National Guard and can do it under their different emergency powers. The problem is that individual states can't sustain that sort of operation without Federal assistance.Can a city or state lockdown itself or is federal cooperation required?
"They're trying to scare everybody, from meetings, cancel the meetings, close the schools — you know, destroy the country. And that's ok, as long as we can win the election," POTUS told guests at Mar-a-Lago last weekend.

Right but nothing is confirmed. She got a test. So did a bunch of other guys in Trumps orbit, what's the big deal here?
I think it's difficult. It's easy for me to agree, being a white man who has no real political ambitions to be like...just be out. But if he is gay, he's a gay man living in the south trying to have a role in Florida politics. It's not the 90s anymore, but in some parts of Florida it's the 1890s. So, if he's closeted, I get it.He should own it first. Then he wouldn't have to engage in high-risk behavior at a hotel.
The panic is setting in because we have virtually zero federal or state guidance, nationwide.
Good luck us. People are leaving the population centers if they have the means and somewhere else to go.
This is very, very, very bad.
Oh they are just very stupid.
Every single fucking day it gets worse and this with not many test being done
