"You can starve and go into economic misery, or else you can go to work and get the virus."

BERNIE SANDERS:
Bernie Sanders: "Trump essentially says, no, we know you're unemployed. We know you have no income. You may get evicted ... We are going to give you a choice. Either you can starve and go into economic misery, or else you can go to work and get the virus."

2. My partner got a job at Walmart, I'm terrified

My sweet partner used the resume I created for him and got offers from both CVS and Walmart in less than a week
He took the job at Walmart as a personal shopper, collecting shopping lists and bagging them for curb-side pickup. While store is insisting on all customers having masks, social distancing seems far too hard for some people.

I'm in my 60's and in several other high-risk groups. I'm scared out of my wits. But I know he had to take the job offered, for a lot less than the UI he was receiving, because he'd lose either way if he didn't.

I just hope he doesn't lose me to virus tracked back into our house after 6 weeks of isolation.

Trump and the Entire GOP and Senate should be put up on Murder, manslaughter, genocide, whatever sticks as soon as possible. We know from Neuremburg that "Just following orders", and "Just doing my job" are not good enough excuses.

If I had my way they'd be sentenced to live and work in CV-19 wards without PPE, the same way their incompetence has sentenced our brave doctors and nurses.
