A lot has happened since last night. Here’s a quick look at the last 24 hours with the #coronavirus:
The House passed a relief bill this morning with overwhelming bipartisan support.

But some Florida Republicans voted against it — or not at all. tampabay.com/news/health/20…
Shortly after midnight, the state announced the largest spike in new cases: 25. A Florida resident who traveled to Asia and was tested in California also has died.

As cases surge, hospitals plan checkpoints, isolation wards and other steps. They also urge patients to first use telemedicine apps if they can. tampabay.com/news/health/20…

Stadiums and arenas going silent will impact nonprofits, too.

Hi, I’m @allisonsross, the state accountability reporter for the Times. I’ve been looking at how rape cases get cleared without an arrest.

Here’s how the Pinellas Sheriff’s Office boosts its rape stats: trib.al/cXOUDhA A social card says: CLEARED BUT NOT SOLVED. Pinellas sheriff's office cleared hundreds of rape cases without arresting anyone. An illustration shows a hand stamping
@allisonsross We started looking at “exceptionally cleared” rape cases following a 2018 investigation by @propublica, @newsy and @reveal: propublica.org/article/when-i…
@allisonsross @propublica @Newsy @reveal Exceptionally cleared cases count toward a clearance rate, a measure of how well agencies are resolving crimes.

The category is for when police have enough evidence to make an arrest but can’t, for reasons outside of their control. tampabay.com/florida-politi…

1. This is @TroMcManus, a reporter at the @TB_Times. I’ve spent the last 6 months investigating the purchases of nearly 100 properties in downtown Clearwater by companies tied to members of the Church of Scientology. projects.tampabay.com/projects/2019/…
@TroMcManus 2. I first started tracking downtown sales in early 2017, as Scientology leader David Miscavige was floating a plan to redevelop downtown. City leaders didn’t support it. I found an explosion in property purchases followed.
@TroMcManus 3. In total, 32 LLCs spent $103 million buying retail property in the core of downtown. About $99 million was paid in cash.

Here's a quick test on how the media reports on the #coronavirus story.

Which headline have you seen?

"Coronavirus has Ten Times Mortality Rate Than Flu"

Or

"99 out of 100 Infected With Coronavirus Survive"
I suspect you've seen the former rather than the latter.

Here's the thing... both headlines say the EXACT SAME THING.
Dr. Anthony Fauci said this week, "The flu has a mortality rate of 0.1 percent. This (Covid-19) has a mortality rate of 10 times that."

Now, think this through...

Here’s a quick look at the 40 @GOP Members of Congress that voted against the #coronavirus relief package.

Just a quick reminder:
They’re all on the ballot in 2020.
And here’s the @HouseDemocrats that voted for the #coronavirus relief package.

(spoiler, it’s all them)

Here's our progress on #coronavirus testing. This is cumulative numbers at the end of each day. Details and explanation here. talkingpointsmemo.com/edblog/progres…
Here's a different look at the data: growing cumulative number and daily number.
2/ Since I posted these charts the cumulative number has spiked up to just under 14k. Just what constitutes a day here, which day they’re attributed to, can be a little messy given the unevenness of reporting. But broadly speaking, we can see the acceleration continues.

#TRUMPSHUTDOWN — GOP MYTH #1: This is a "Schumer Shutdown" or "Democrat Shutdown."

FALSE.

Not only did Republican Senators also vote against the CR last night that led to the shutdown, but...

REPUBLICANS CONTROL ALL THREE BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT.
#TRUMPSHUTDOWN — GOP MYTH #2: Republicans don't really control Senate b/c of the Filibuster, so Dems are to blame.

FALSE.

REPUBLICANS CONTROL WHAT BILLS GO TO FLOOR FOR A VOTE.

The Gang of 6 immigration bill would pass w/ overwhelming bipartisan support, ending the shutdown.
#TRUMPSHUTDOWN — GOP MYTH #3: Democrats are holding the Government hostage.

FALSE.

Democrats have made offer-after-offer to keep the Gov open. Even after Schumer attempted to cut a deal w/ Trump, within two hours...

PAUL RYAN CALLED MCCONNELL AND TOLD HIM TO END NEGOTIATIONS.
