It, essentially, means that Virginians can only leave home for food, supplies, work, medical care, or exercise/fresh air purposes. Only leave home if you have an essential reason to do so — Going to visit a friend for a poker game would not be essential. Going to visit a friend to help care for them because they have a broken leg would be essential. Exercise common sense about what is or isn't essential, and if it isn't, then don't go out. You're still free to leave the house to get groceries or go to the pharmacy. You're also still free...

Well you know, it's a sad thing. Look, she's a sick puppy in my opinion. She really is. She's got a lot of problems and that's a horrible thing to say,' he said of the House Speaker. Trump's attack was in reaction to a question during a Fox & Friends interview Monday about Pelosi blaming him for not handling the coronavirus crisis in a timely manner, and claiming while he 'fiddles, people are dying.' 'Dr. Fauci said the other day, if those people came in, if I didn't do that [closed borders], you would have had deaths like you would...

NY Governor Andrew Cuomo has asked for 30,000 ventilators to deal with crisis Coronavirus, which causes respiratory difficulties, increased demand for the kit But medical experts say there aren't enough medics qualified to operate them As it stands there are 7,713 respiratory specialists licensed in NY for ventilators Coronavirus symptoms: what are they and should you see a doctor? Even if New York Governor Andrew Cuomo gets the 30,000 ventilators he has asked for, finding enough skilled workers to operate them all is the real challenge, medical experts say. Coronavirus, which causes respiratory complications, has placed a colossal strain on...

Johnson & Johnson is five months away from starting human trials on a COVID-19 vaccine, the pharmaceutical giant said Monday. Clinical data would be available by the end of the year, leaving open the possibility of emergency-use authorization by early next year. “We have very good early indicators that not only can we depend on this to be a safe vaccine base but also one that will ultimately be effective, based on all the early testing and modeling we’ve been doing,” the company’s chairman and CEO, Alex Gorsky, said on CNBC Monday. The firm began working on a vaccine in...

The Cure Is Now Officially More Dangerous than the Disease. Thank you WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, NIAID Director Dr. Anthony Fauci and globalist elites everywhere! During the Great Depression the highest rate of US unemployment was 24.9% in 1933. The St. Louis Fed projected on Monday the US unemployment rate during the coronavirus panic could reach 32% unemployment — higher than the Great Depression! The St. Louis Fed estimated that 42 million Americans could lose their jobs. A man-made depression is coming. And it was all caused by faulty data!

How many ventilators can an Inhalation Therapist manage in a shift? Thank you.

Of a world in coronavirus turmoil, they may know little or nothing. Submariners stealthily cruising the ocean deeps, purposefully shielded from worldly worries to encourage undivided focus on their top-secret missions of nuclear deterrence, may be among the last pockets of people anywhere who are still blissfully unaware of how the pandemic is turning life upside down. Mariners aboard ballistic submarines are habitually spared bad news while underwater to avoid undermining their morale, say current and former officers who served aboard France’s nuclear-armed subs. So any crews that left port before the virus spread around the globe are likely being...

Whole Foods employees are planning to strike on Tuesday to protest the lack of protections offered to workers during the coronavirus pandemic—the first national collective action led by workers at the company since it was founded in 1980. On March 31, Whole Foods employees will call in sick to demand paid leave for all workers who stay home or self-quarantine during the crisis, free coronavirus testing for all employees, and hazard pay of double the current hourly wage for employees who show up to work during the pandemic.

This morning, Trump was on Fox & Friends and Steve Ducey asked him (in essence) 'Mr. President, what did you see that changed your mind from opening the country back up on 4/12 to now being 4/30?' And Trump responded 'I didn't see anything, I'm going on what Fauci and Birx are telling me'. My question is, what are Birx and Fauci using to cause our nation to be shutdown and ALL industries come to a screeching halt? We already know they WERE using the faulty Imperial College model. Are they still using it? Did they switch to something else?...

The pastor of a Tampa megachurch is facing charges after refusing to close its doors despite a "safer at home" order in effect in Hillsborough County, meant to stop the spread of COVID-19. The sheriff of Hillsborough County says one of two Sunday services had up to 500 people in attendance. Sheriff Chad Chronister and State Attorney Andrew Warren on Monday announced that an arrest warrant had been issued for Pastor Rodney Howard-Browne. He faces charges of unlawful assembly and violation of public health emergency order.

Regarding whether he expressed a desire for Trump to die from the virus, Wignmans said, "I have not expressed such a wish." He told Campus Reform that he related the coronavirus to the “deadly plague” detailed in the Old Testament of the Bible, because “the leadership of the country is specifically targeted.” “All I wanted to say is that if something similar happened here, I might interpret that as a non-random event, God’s hand if you will,” in a comment to Campus Reform. He concludes the email with one last prediction. He predicts that “when history will be written about...

When Harvard told students to leave its dorms for the rest of the spring term earlier in March, most would have expected that they would be empty until the fall. But if some students have their way, the dorms will soon be filled with a new kind of resident. A petition calling for Harvard to house homeless people in its residential properties has gained serious momentum, having already amassed over 1,000 signatures. The author of the petition, Masters of Divinity candidate at Harvard’s Divinity School Christopher Diak also told The Harvard Crimson that he thought that because “there will be...

New evidence confirms FBI is lying again after a former Assistant US Attorney claims under oath that the FBI did examine Seth Rich’s computer. Previously we reported that after getting caught lying to the Courts and claiming there were no documents related to Seth Rich, emails between FBI Deep State lovers Peter Strzok and Lisa Page were uncovered by Judicial Watch with the title “Seth Rich” . Next the FBI claimed the Strzok-Page emails were redacted to protect the investigation they claim never happened. After bringing in the US Attorney for the Eastern District of New York to argue against...

COLUMBUS, Ohio — In a quick about-face, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, responding to criticism from Gov. Mike DeWine, has granted expanded approval for a new device developed by an Ohio research firm that sterilizes the protective masks used by health-care workers. The FDA on Sunday night issued an amended approval order, revoking a Saturday order that only permitted Battelle to use the device at its headquarters in Columbus, and only to clean 10,000 masks per day. The limited order angered DeWine, leading him to rebuke the agency publicly Sunday morning and seek intervention from President Donald Trump. Before...

Boom. Will we actually get a little justice from the Department of Justice? – Ok, the report is from CNN, so don’t get your hopes up overly-much, but still: CNN reported Monday morning that the DOJ is coordinating with the SEC to investigate the suspicious stock trades made by RINO North Carolina Senator Richard Burr: The Justice Department has started to probe a series of stock transactions made by lawmakers ahead of the sharp market downturn stemming from the spread of coronavirus, according to two people familiar with the matter. The inquiry, which is still in its early stages and...

The overwhelming number of coronavirus patients flooding hospitals across the U.S. has resulted in a shortage of ventilators for those experiencing difficulty breathing. But while President Trump has faced criticism from states, like New York, for the short supply, federal agencies have been predicting the need for more ventilators for nearly two decades. Reports from various government offices have been sounding the alarm over the course of at least three successive presidencies dating back to the George W. Bush administration. “GAO found that most hospitals lack the capacity to respond to large-scale infectious disease outbreaks,” concluded the U.S. Government Accountability...

Gov. Andrew Cuomo continued to push for additional help from the federal government as the coronavirus pandemic continues to spread. There are now 66,497 confirmed coronavirus cases in New York, Cuomo said Monday, including 9,517 hospitalized, 2,352 ICU patients and 4,204 patients who have been hospitalized and discharged. The death toll climbed to 1,218. “Big picture is the situation is painfully clear now. There’s no question as to what we’re dealing with. There’s no question as to the consequences. There’s no question as to the grief and loss of life. And there’s no question about what we must do. There...

RUSH: I mentioned that these are dire circumstances. This is such a narrow channel to navigate here because I have so many conflicting thoughts on this. On the one hand, there is no doubt, there is no question how serious this is. In fact, I’ll tell you, I think that the medical experts are scared to death. ‘Cause I don’t think they have a handle on it yet. For example, they told us that the primary, the number one most vulnerable group of people were people that have pre-existing conditions, lung disorders, lung issues, elderly, infirm. And now we see...
