Richard Burr hoarded his own wealth while lying to North Carolinians about the coronavirus pandemic. Many of his own constituents could die, but at least his millions are safe.

propublica.org/article/senato…
Burr, who went to great lengths to make sure his millions were protected during a pandemic, while doing nothing to warn his constituents about #coronavirus was one of 3 senators in 2012 to vote against the STOCK Act in 2012, calling a "waste of time." thehill.com/blogs/floor-ac…
The STOCK (Stop Trading on Congressional Knowledge) Act of 2012 covers *exactly* the insider trading Richard Burr did to profit from COVID-19.

Yes, #BurrMustResign.
A question for the junior senator from North Carolina @SenThomTillis: will you publicly condemn @SenatorBurr's activities? MANY North Carolina voters want to know.

So far, you're pretty quiet. #TillisMustCondemn

51 Republican senators just voted against an amendment to the #FamiliesFirst #Coronavirus Response Act that would have expanded paid leave to millions of Americans left out of the package. Let that sink in.
The amendment, from @PattyMurray and @SenGillibrand, would've closed a critical gap in the package and meant real support for people who desperately need it. Folks who are looking to our elected officials for leadership and moral clarity during this time.
Every Democrat voted yes. Every Republican voted no (except Cory Gardner and Rick Scott, who didn't vote).

Every. Single. Republican.

.@CookPolitical just shifted the North Carolina Senate race between @CalforNC and Trump-enabler @SenThomTillis from LEAN-R to TOSS UP. Let's talk about that.
Tillis votes with Trump 93.1%. So, it's no surprise that a new poll has Cunningham leading him 46-41. publicpolicypolling.com/polls/democrat…
Tillis voted for a cover-up. newsobserver.com/news/politics-…

Let's talk about AG Barr.

Should he resign? Yes.
Is he going to? No.
Should he be impeached? Probably.
Would that succeed? Not a chance in hell.

So let's talk about what Congress can do about it.
Bill Barr is the most corrupt Attorney General in American history. He has no business serving as the Attorney General of the United States. For starters, yes, we need to investigate him.
Schumer has already sent a letter to DOJ’s inspector general (the agency’s internal watchdog that investigates fraud within the department) demanding an investigation into Barr’s misconduct. Every senator should be on the record supporting an investigation into Barr.

🚨US intel agencies issued ominous, classified warnings in Jan/Feb about the risk of the #coronavirus causing a global #pandemic, yet @realDonaldTrump & the @GOP played down the threat & failed to act.

INACTION = more people DIE.🤬

Intelligence agencies “have been warning on this since January,” and intel reports were disseminated to members of Congress and their staffs and to the Trump administration.

I also have been warning about this #coronavirus for 2 MONTHS, and Trump & the GOP did NOTHING.🤬
“Trump may not have been expecting this, but a lot of other people in the government were — they just couldn’t get him to do anything about it. The system was blinking red.”

Trump’s INACTION on the #CoronavirusPandemic will COST AMERICAN LIVES.🤬

Came across this last night and thought it worth sharing. I’ve seen multiple sources for it.

Prayer for a Pandemic

May we who are merely inconvenienced,
Remember those whose lives are at stake.

May we who have no risk factors,
Remember the most vulnerable...
May we who have the luxury of working from home,
Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.

May we who have flexibility to care for our children when their schools close,
Remember those who have no options...
May we who have to cancel our trips,
Remember those that have no safe place to go.

May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market,
Remember those who have no margin at all...

In today's column, I tried to answer the question: "How much worse can the #coronavirus pandemic get?" So, for data geeks like me, I'm going to post a thread of stories and graphs with projections. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
How Much Worse the #Coronavirus Could Get - features some great interactive charts and examines how long the #pandemic could last nytimes.com/interactive/20… via @nytimes
Unsurprisingly, Our World In Data has some of the best data on #coronavirus, like this chart that shows how long it took for cases numbers to double. (in Canada it's four days) ourworldindata.org/coronavirus

Yesterday was hard.
Today will be harder.
It's going to get worse.

How do we deal and cope amongst the #uncertainty and #chaos?

Some thoughts about managing through the #coronavirus #pandemic:
#Covid_19
1. At work:
✅If you're in a position of leadership, get on the same page with the rest of leadership
✅Know your institution's policies, collate them in 1 place, disseminate to employees
✅Be proactive in asking folks how they are. What ? do they have? If you don't know, say so
✅Amidst all the physical preparedness, don't forget to check on their mental and emotional health.

We are all scared. Uncertain of each coming day. Of each coming hour.

Don't assume when folks are quiet that they are not scare, confused, or just need a little comfort.

#coronavirus for journalists, short thread : Here’s what we know about the importance of reporting during epidemics. First, repetitive, reliable reporting can change behaviour . There are a number if papers on this - here is one sciencedaily.com/releases/2016/…
Important that news organisations update figures, practical information and news about the spread with calm unsensational regularity *in the same place* . Liveblogs are great for those following, but poor for those encountering the story at different points.
This advice from @CarolineYLChen is the best thing I have read on the framing of questions for covering epidemics propublica.org/article/i-live… - share widely

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.
