The administration’s news conferences are not answering the questions asked. POTUS takes zero responsibility, shouts down journalists, paints a false picture, and constantly praises himself while attacking others. What is his objective other than to try to hike the stock market and boost Republican approval numbers? Journalists must continue to peel away to find the real truths.

Where are the tests #POTUS #VP and #GOP promised?
Where are the NEW hospital beds needed?
Where is the protective gear requested?

Working remotely is nothing really new for me. As a social being who’s a multilingual communicator, a people person, and a serial connector, I know that human beings thrive on the milk of human kindness.

Growing up, I watched my parents who were both social workers practice social media for years before the Internet was in vogue. They kept consistently sending articles to friends and family through snail mail and letting folks know they were on their minds with a phone call or a greeting card.

Where can you stop, but can’t really shop? Our reporter walks past empty shelves in New York.

The #coronavirus has caused shoppers to stock up on various items like cleaning supplies, water and toilet paper.

Empty shelves in grocery stores remind me of Castro's Cuba, with Trump playing the part of a dictator, claiming that everything is plentiful and tremendously fine. As a result, fear contagion over the pandemic appears to be spreading faster than the #Coronavirus is transmitted.
