I just finished my nightly hour of news watching. Mostly it seems more of the same. A few of the points that stuck out.
It seems that the hospitals are in as much economic stress as the airlines, restaurants, cruise ships or other indusries that have had to shut down. It is not a hardship of not being able to do their usual thing, but a hardship of having to do to much. But even if this hardship is different in nature, the health care industry is still going to need to be bailed out as much as anyone. They are being asked to do a lot. They should not be left in financial ruin as a result too.
Rachel Maddow of MSNBC had the mayor of Los Angeles on. His contribution was primarily that if you wait to do something until it is comfortable, in these times it is too late. Los Angeles had one of the first stay and home orders and was first in many of the precautions. Part of this was a personal attitude of the mayor of doing something now, not in a little while, certainly not when everyone agrees.
He also had a new word for people who ignored or bypassed the mandated isolation orders. He called them 'a-holes'. Is that a technical term that can be officially be used for Trump?

That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.
