How incredibly short-sighted, contrary to the advice of any experts, and inhumane.
Here’s a letter that public health experts sent to Trump last week, calling for action that would actually reduce the spread of COVID-19 and make us all safer: publichealthpublicsafety.org
Here’s a letter that more than 400 former DOJ officials and others sent to Trump last week suggesting steps that Trump could take to improve this crisis:

Here’s @jaywillis tonight, pulling together all of the advice Trump has been given about how to deal with #COVIDー19 in federal prisons. No one recommended keeping every federal prisoner in their cell or quarters for 14 days. theappeal.org/donald-trump-c…

Context for the LAT story: This is a very small amount of people in the system. The state acknowledges this is roughly the same number of people who regularly enter the state's prisons every month.
There are more than 114,000 people in the state's "adult institutions" — 134% capacity. The number being released — in the coming weeks, not immediately even — only amounts to roughly 3% of the total population in the institutions. So, they'll still be significantly overcrowded.
What's worse, these anticipated releases have nothing to do with addressing the people in California's care who are most at risk with COVID-19. These releases are based on them having 60 days or less until their release date AND being "nonviolent offenders."

She’s not wrong, although this sort of response appears to be allowed by many states’ authorizing statutes as well. Violations should be civil penalties, at worst. This is absolutely NOT a time to be sending more people to jail.
[Also: I wouldn’t use the word “insane” like this, as it stigmatizes mental health issues unecessarily. (But, she’d say that makes me a snowflake or something, so, here we are.)]
For those asking, yes, there are more exceptions than just "essential business," including socially distant recreation. The point of her tweet and mine was that criminal penalties, let alone jail, aren't a smart way to address these issues. Full DC order: coronavirus.dc.gov/sites/default/…

⚠️Trump's Coronavirus Response

💥#Trump Admin established a National Biodefense Strategy in *2018* specifically to deal with any biological risk to U.S. Citizens.

#covidー19 #covid19 #covid @cdcgov @realDonaldTrump #coronavirususa #caronavirusoutbreak

➡️ Read the thread 👇
Following the initial reports from China – and anticipating multiple agency aspects of U.S. government would need a unified command structure – on January 30th President Trump assembled a unified task force to coordinate all response efforts across the totality of government.
The task force is coordinated through the National Security Council. It is composed of subject matter experts from White House and several United States Government agencies, and it includes some of the Nation’s foremost experts on infectious diseases.

#Trump is going to speak in the Rose Garden any minute now. Is he going to lie a bunch about reopening the government? Is he just going to yell "no collusion! witch hunt!" over and over again? Both? Stay tuned!
Oh hell, #Trump is going to take questions too. This is going to be a sh*tshow.
#Trump is running about a half hour late. I wonder if he's spent this whole time on the phone with Ann Coulter, begging for permission to cave?

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
