.@kroger is the biggest supermarket chain in the United States.

It has 453,000 employees and many receive no sick leave.

Even after 2 employees tested positive for COVID-19, @kroger still won't provide paid sick leave to everyone

popular.info/p/supermarket-…
@kroger Instead of paid sick leave, @kroger is providing 2 weeks paid leave ONLY to people who test positive for COVID-19 or are placed under mandatory quarantine

This is insufficient to protect staff and the public, especially with little testing available

popular.info/p/supermarket-…
Everyone is making major sacrifices to try to combat the spread of the virus. Corporations should be no exception

Sources in @kroger management tell me executives are celebrating a huge surge in sales.

The company can afford to provide paid sick leave

Companies like @Amazon are profiting from the pandemic

Congress will not mandate paid sick leave for big companies, so the best tool we have is PUBLIC SCRUTINY

Another fact check of this tweet.

This fact check concludes that not only is this tweet TRUE but every tweet in the entire thread is ALSO TRUE

truthorfiction.com/is-amazon-seek…
This fact check also uncovered that Amazon's claim that they are required by the Emergency Assistance Foundation to accept donations from the public was FALSE
In other words, Amazon has been lying to journalists to convince them not to write about this story.

The purpose of journalism isn’t to be liked.

It’s to tell the truth.
Everything is going to back to normal by Easter is a popular message to deliver to people stuck in their homes even if it is not true, grossly irresponsible, and will needlessly kill many people.
Good journalism almost always makes someone very angry.

.@DollarGeneral is responding to tweets demanding paid sick leave for its workers with its announcement of a $35 million pool of bonuses

That's less than $250 per employee and IT IS NOT PAID SICK LEAVE

popular.info/p/a-dollar-sho…
@DollarGeneral .@DollarGeneral is encouraging workers with "indirect exposure" to COVID-19 to report to work, as long as they don't have symptoms.

But COVID-19 spreads asymptomatically.

The company won't answer questions about what qualifies as "indirect exposure"

popular.info/p/a-dollar-sho…
.@DollarGeneral isn't even informing workers about the very limited paid sick leave its offering to workers who test positive for COVID-19.

13 of the 14 @DollarGeneral workers I talked to had heard nothing about it

1/ This is a remarkable turn from Neil Ferguson, who led the @imperialcollege authors who warned of 500,000 UK deaths - and who has now himself tested positive for #COVID; newscientist.com/article/223857…
2/ He now says both that the U.K. should have enough ICU beds and that the coronavirus will probably kill under 20,000 people in the U.K. - more than 1/2 of whom would have died by the end of the year in any case bc they were so old and sick.
3/ Essentially, what has happened is that estimates of the viruses transmissibility have increased - which implies that many more people have already gotten it than we realize - which in turn implies it is less dangerous.

Dear @CNN ,

You played this @Franklin_Graham compassionate infomercial 7 times in 3 hours today.
1- they said covid is a hoax.
2- I called, 38 seconds into the call they asked me for money.
3- I asked if they have free meals resources, the guy put me on hold and hang up.
I am going to call them again and ask them to pray with me for toilet paper, faster amazon deliveries and a special prayer for someone with a hoarding issue ( @VodkaMuse ) I may record and tweet if I can tweak the voice thing.
$300,000 package minimum commitment to run that many spots.
@Franklin_Graham, I am assuming it is a $2 million blitz campaign with all the networks, online and radio.
Your “ prayer troops” asked me for money under 60 seconds flat.
Scumbucket.

BREAKING: Palace confirms Prince Charles has tested positive for #COVIDー19.
Although people are rightly angry there are not enough tests for NHS and other key workers, the notion the Prince of Wales should not have been tested is ludicrous. I detest the monarchy as a system of gov’t, but he is - rightly or wrongly - the successor for Head of State.
As a side note, I’m sure that Queen to Windsor, Charles to Birkhall, William to Amner etc. is part of a fairly strict, formalised plan to separate the succession line, in emergencies like these, rather than all of them deciding to give a bad example and take a holiday.

Ten Questions for the U.S.: Where did the Novel Coronavirus Come From?

By A Al Qod’s A AtwanTWAN

Region: Asia, USA
Theme: Media Disinformation

Question 1

Since the director of the U.S. Centers of Disease Control, Robert Redfield admitted that some Americans seemingly dying from flu were tested positive for the novel coronavirus, can I conclude that those people actually died from the novel coronavirus?
Among the 34 million influenza patients, with a death toll of 20,000, how many were misdiagnosed?

When did the misdiagnoses start? And did it actually start from August 2019? These questions are so vital that the world is waiting for an explanation from the United States.

"Who wants to go to the dentist or the hospital during an outbreak if a visit isn’t necessary? Yet health spending is 17 percent of the U.S. economy — more than triple the proportion spent in China."
"Agriculture, a sector not noted for day-to-day social interaction and so potentially less harmed by social withdrawal, is a 10 times larger share of China’s economy than it is in the United States."
"For all the talk about the global 'supply shock' set off by the coronavirus outbreak and its impact on supply chains, we may have more to fear from an old-fashioned 'demand shock' that emerges when everyone simply stays home."
