Out side of politics is the possibility that folks as I mite actually die from the Corona Italy Corona
This pandemic has spread all across this country and in such major cites as New York and other cities along the Western Coast
So as someone who is in a high risk category, I have to be very careful. Being dead would put a very clear cut end to my political writing and as an activist. Everyone is being asked to stay at home and stop their activities. For many people this means little. But for people I work with, this is a major problem.
A pandemic like this brings out the worst of us. There are those who buy more toilet paper and paper towels than they can ever use and then try and resell it to those who are in need. The cost is way more than what they paid at the store for these. It is profiteering. That is normal as part of our US
This has also put a damper on the US Spain and Italy
Yes, Trump and his ilk do plan to send money to working people who can’t go to work. They almost have to. The damage to the economy would be more than they could handle if they didn’t send the money.
Here is a liberal point of view on this epidemic:
Sign the Petition to U.S. Congress

When President Trump took office, we demanded that he do what all other modern presidents have: divest from his businesses. That's the only way to avoid the huge conflicts of interest that'd obviously come from running the country and a multi-million dollar business at the same time.
But Trump refused.
And now, we're facing the prospect of Trump getting millions in bailout money from Congress' upcoming stimulus package -- public money that should be going to help ordinary Americans.
When asked specifically whether he'd accept a bailout, Trump said: "I don't know… I have hotels. Everybody knew I had hotels when I got elected. They knew I was a successful person when I got elected, so it's one of those things."
That's right -- Trump is open to diverting money away from critical needs into his pocket.
Every member of Congress should reject any proposal that would allow Trump to get stimulus money for his businesses. Bailing out Trump's business empire would be a clear-cut violation of our Constitution's Emoluments Clause, which forbids the president from receiving money from the government -- precisely to prevent situations like the one we're in right now.
