Don’t hold your breath. With tRump as someone in the hospitality industry I wouldn’t count on it. tRump has always run his own properties on the cheap, and paying people while being sick…well, I just can’t see it happening. Let’s just say he already has an inherent conflict of interest in deciding to go that route. Just one more of many however.

I wouldn’t hold my breath for this.

And then you’ll hear the Right screaming SOCIALISM and THIS Is why the Dems shouldn’t be in charge of anything. Not anything. Never. No. Throw them out and stop spending money on people who won’t pick themselves up by their bootstraps…

You get the picture.

And when Trump takes steps to protect the bottom line of corporations and try to fix the stock market plunges, while doing nothing to protect the health and financial security of working people, telling us all that this is the best way to attack the coronavirus hoax …

His true minions will nod in unison., while coughing all over the buffet at Golden Corral and into the produce at Walmart.

I JUST this minute, got an email from CITI bank - offering assistance to those affected by the virus.

This is similar to the one we got right after Hurricane Harvey.

Some folks are taking this seriously.

Why would DJT agree to pay workers idled by corana virus precautions? Often as not, he didn’t pay them when they did work.

for workers who “may lose their jobs from the economic impacts of the epidemic

This has already happened in the Seattle area. A catering company laid off its entire work force due to cancelled events and conferences. It will happen soon all over the country. I am glad Nancy and Chuck are on this.

I have accounts with Delta, American, Southworst and United Airlines.

All but American have issued emails about their responses to the coronavirus.

Which is another reason I’ll never fly American again.

White House advisers on Monday plan to present President Trump with a list of policy changes they hope could stem the economic fallout of the coronavirus, including paid sick leave and emergency help for small businesses, according to a senior administration official.

…

The senior administration spoke on condition of anonymity and would not give more details about other options under consideration. The White House has faced intense pressure to arrest falling markets and stabilize an economy that investors increasingly fear may tip into recession. Many Democrats, meanwhile, are insisting that the government implement paid sick leave policies to help Americans who are forced to stay home because they are sick.

Sounds like a good time for him to go visit that Marine in Ft. Belvoir who tested positive.

There’s no risk to him, and it would boost the Marine’s spirits dramatically to get a nice photo-op and handshake from the president.

All recommendations will be ignored.

Consider this: if he grants ANY of the options, it’s a tacit acknowledgment that something is REALLY wrong. He only wants good news with respect to the virus. By blocking testing, there won’t be any bad news as to how many people are truly affected.

If he grants any of those policy options, it makes his refusal to allow for testing even worse than it already is.

If he doesn’t do anything, he might as well resign now. I think he’s already finished anyway.

People are looking for leadership and are finding it missing in a bigly way.

I did receive an email from American about their coronavirus response, so maybe they missed you, or maybe it was buried in the emails about cruises and other travel opportunities from them…
