JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) — In Ohio, more than 48,000 people applied for jobless benefits during the first two days of this week. The tally during the same period the prior week: just 1,825.
Don’t worry, Trump said we’re going to win this virus thing in no time!
When Trump Lies+Denies-Demeans-Delays Covid-19 testing/mitigation/response…Americans get infected, some DIE and others cannot work!

Trump is NOT only a national security risk…
Trump is also a health risk and a financial risk!
As of this comment, in US
Total Confirmed = 9415
Total Death = 150
Total Recovered = 106
What kind of cruelty is that for the Trump Regime to still want to cut Food Stamps during a pandemic?
It took a court order to block this inhumane act of the Trump Regime!
Perhaps our most significant conclusion is that mitigation is unlikely to be feasible without emergency surge capacity limits of the UK and US healthcare systems being exceeded many times over. In the most effective mitigation strategy examined, which leads to a single, relatively short epidemic (case isolation, household quarantine and social distancing of the elderly), the surge limits for both general ward and ICU beds would be exceeded by at least 8-fold under the more optimistic scenario for critical care requirements that we examined. In addition, even if all patients were able to be treated, we predict there would still be in the order of 250,000 deaths in GB, and 1.1-1.2 million in the US.

Delayed Obama’s fault…
None of the articles being posted have addressed Health Care. Many people still get their benefits through their employer who pays for it through the salaries of the employees. How is that affecting those who may need medical attention that’s not related to the virus?
Hard to imagine that unemployment, and the claims associated with it, will likely exceed what we saw in the Great Recession…both in depth and breadth and, possibly, duration. This is only the initial wave of claims. That alleged Chinese curse about living in interesting times comes to mind often these days.
Income inequality and donnies lies, deceit, delay and lazy incompetence…
Killers in the WH…led by a selfish, self-delusional , willfully ignorant fatbaby impeached donnie…sanctioned by his cultist fascist uneducated that he loves…
A secret recording taken of Senate Intelligence Committee Chairman Richard Burr shows him warning a private audience three weeks ago about how the Coronavirus would have dire effects on the U.S.
As gun and ammo sales increase…
Last Friday, the National Rifle Association sent out an inflammatory “national alert” to its millions of members warning that “anti-gun extremists” in Champaign, Illinois, are using the emergency "to quietly pass and implement gun control schemes.
What is so disheartening and infuriating is that this could have been minimized by not having an incompetent grifter who dismantled the federal government and abolished sensible regulations in office.
This is absolutely insane
Three weeks ago -many knew including Trump who was briefed in January. Trump who downplayed it until this week, delayed taking any action until this week. Mitch also knew and he took a long weekend to party with Kavanaugh. Blazing incompetence and lack of compassion for the citizens of this country.

Tulsi Gabbard announced Thursday that she will suspend her 2020 Democratic presidential campaign and endorsed Joe Biden.
The state of play: While she was one of the final three candidates left in the race, alongside Biden and Bernie Sanders, the Hawaii congresswoman failed to gain traction in any primary and hadn’t qualified for a debate since last year.
She did pick up two delegates in the caucuses in American Samoa, where she was born.
What she’s saying: “I know Vice President Biden and his wife and am grateful to have called his son Beau, who also served in the National Guard, a friend. Although I may not agree with the vice president on every issue, I know that he has a good heart and is motivated by his love for our country and the American people,” she said in a campaign email.
Paging Senator Sanders, Paging Senator Sanders…
The cult of Bernie Bros are not going to like this.
Until a couple of them get sick and die and the rest of them wake up and realize we need to unify and mobilize. The only thing that will save us is a new and competent administration
“Pandemics are good, and easy to win!”
If there is an average 20,000 jobless claims in every state, that’s a million unemployment applications this week…and, it’s possible, with how many things have shut down, some employers are going to toss people overboard (not by choice, they are likely on the edge as it is). A large number of Americans are not prepared for an unexpected $500 bill, and they are likely the ones getting hit by this. We still have no real federal leadership either, the states are taking the lead in reacting, which means different levels of response, furthering the crisis.
When people look back on this administration, they are going to wonder how we let such incompetents run the system…Americans, as a whole, really need to learn the lesson, that no matter what we have to have people that can handle the government, including in emergencies, elected and appointed. All the people who didn’t vote, who thought that there was no difference between Clinton and Trump, maybe it will be clear to them now that Clinton was the better choice, even if they didn’t like her she never would have allowed this to happen.
2020 - when Trump GOP policies really take root.
In Ohio, more than 48,000 people applied for jobless benefits during the first two days of this week. The tally during the same period the prior week: just 1,825.
A 2600% increase!
States are not prepared. They will need federal funds to keep their unemployment programs solvent.
