Please everyone read this from Zeke Emanuel. We need pressure brought on Washington to do what he says. It's thoughtful and the best way to protect the economy is decisive action now. Let's not waste time.

nytimes.com/2020/03/23/opi…
"America is losing the war against Covid-19, but we can win it with decisive and extraordinary actions now. Health experts have not been overreacting. Models from Imperial College London and others suggest that up to 2.2 million Americans could die within a year...
"the economy cannot be fixed without solving the pandemic. Only after the virus is contained can we reopen restaurants, bars, gyms&stores; allow people to travel, attend conferences&visit museums& persuade them to buy cars&houses

The window to win this war is about 7 to 14 days"
"If the United States intervenes immediately on the scale that China did, our death toll could be under 100,000. Within three to four months we might be able to begin a return to more normal lives.

There are five top priority areas for action..." [read piece for more] END

V thoughtful post about the difficult choice the Supreme Ct has in trying to decide whether to go ahead with oral arguments next week

I'm a deep believer the Supreme Court should televise and provide immediate audio of its proceedings. But I recognize...

scotusblog.com/2020/03/holdin…
that at least some members of the Court are worried about either. I think if the Court did release immediate audio in this unique situation, it wouldn't and shouldn't set a precedent once things return to a more normal footing...
They should feel free to do what is appropriate here without fear that it will force their hand down the road in less extreme circumstances, and those of us like me who have views on this in ordinary times shouldn't use this decision, made under extreme circs, as a precedent.

1.This Wednesday, the Supreme Court will hear one of the most important abortion cases ever. I decided to record this track to draw attention to the case, and in particular to ways to protect reproductive justice without relying on the courts. open.spotify.com/album/6GU0BNye…
2.The Louisiana abortion case is a mirror image of one the Supreme Court heard 4 years ago from Texas. The laws are virtually identical, and require doctors performing abortions to have admitting privileges at a local hospital.
3.The Supreme Court struck down the Texas law 5-4 as burdening a woman’s right to choose. But Justice Kennedy cast the deciding vote, and he is no longer on the Court, and has been replaced by Justice Kavanaugh.

Impt move by @RepAdamSchiff. He said Chief Justice Roberts is empowered to decide witnesses +House Managers will abide by whatever CJ decides/won't try to appeal. Trump, by contrast,is afraid not only of witnesses&docs, but of CJ Roberts (a Bush appointee)
c-span.org/video/?c485065…
@RepAdamSchiff Trump is:
*Afraid of the House of Reps
*Afraid of his own National Security Adviser
*Afraid of his own Chief of Staff
*Afraid of his own National Security Council Staff
*Afraid of every document held by our Govt
*Afraid of testifying himself
*Afraid of the Chief Justice of the US
@RepAdamSchiff Is this the way an innocent man behaves?

A really heartbreaking sight. The sacrifices from health workers in China have been immense.
This is the context of that video, reportedly related to the death of hospital director Liu Zhiming.
This is making the rounds, claiming to be Chinese escaping the country into Vietnam. I'm almost certain that it is misrepresented, and that this is not true.

If containment fails, and this projection comes true, the hardships that the world would experience during the onset of the first coronavirus pandemic would be hard to comprehended through our current eyes. A first for the modern world.
That’s further out, but if COVID-19 does break through to influenza scale, the benefit would be in a substantial population of immunity & antibodies. Those prospects are now where China is focusing. Antibody donation could improve outcomes; that’s moving from secondary priority.
The best outcome of a worst case scenario would be herd immunity. But, millions would die, medical infrastructure would be overwhelmed at even a fraction of the early generational spread, & the world would be on pause. Transfusion is not the golden ticket; you need a lot of infra

Unsurprisingly, more information was withheld by the Chinese government. COVID-19 had reached Guangdong by January 4th. Wuhan's lockdown only began on the 23rd. This is a probelm far bigger than Hubei and China.
Alternate reality: Theranos Ends Pandemic
It's so sad to read these stories of China's state of unrest. Trust is degraded. This is not a society that will return to normal with a snap of fingers and bans lifted. China is damaged, could be for years, & we're not even near the end of this epidemic.

Now Japan too 👀 https://t.co/9yeEsUGHDx
It’s probably a good time to remember that the 2002 SARS outbreak killed 774 people across 37 countries and it had a 10% mortality rate. This one looks less deadly, but also looks ripe to — and actively is — going global. on.ft.com/2u6G7zV
Umm, any of y'all have room in your bunker? The Chinese government was withholding the severity of this outbreak & transmission capability, and the number of coronavirus cases has exploded😷

@FortinusGlobal @DavidHenigUK @ShankerASingham @CapacityNow @GregHands @NickyMorgan01 Can I ask Tony can it be done without any New Checks, controls Infrastructure & related friction? Because it doesn't appear that it can. Which falls well short of the stated aim of the Joint Report of 2017 which promised No New Checks, Controls Infrastructure& related friction 1/
@FortinusGlobal @DavidHenigUK @ShankerASingham @CapacityNow @GregHands @NickyMorgan01 The backstop is about more than just the Border. It is a recognition of the fact that, in Northern Ireland, there is a population some of whom identify exclusively as British & have an allegiance to London. 2/
@FortinusGlobal @DavidHenigUK @ShankerASingham @CapacityNow @GregHands @NickyMorgan01 Some of whom identify exclusively as Irish & have an allegiance to Dublin. Plus others who can combine these allegiances & with no allegiance 3/

Everyone wants wage growth. That doesn't usually happen without sustained low unemployment - high demand for labor raises its price - but low unemployment isn't quite enough by itself.
Wage growth requires demand not just for workers, but for higher-paid workers. You want industries configured in such a way that they WANT to hire people who cost them more money. FORCING them to pay more doesn't work - they just learn to make do with less labor.
One good way to bring wages up is to have a lot of promotions from within. A steady stream of people take entry-level jobs and quickly prove themselves worthy of higher pay and more responsibility.
