Share reporting sometimes/often not enough to eat last week continued its climb.
18.3% of those w/kids said they didn't have enough to eat.
Really looking forward to seeing these numbers come back down as relief gets into hands of families.

Let's hope these are the highest rates we will ever see, and that they start coming back down. (That's surely what I expect to see.)

Just heard that Pulse will continue until (at least) March -- GREAT news.
I continue to be grateful for the hard work of the statistical agencies for responding to this crisis with more real-time data.
