Soros’ $28 million in donations, detailed in a new campaign finance disclosure from his family’s PAC, marks a major down payment on the election for the 89-year-old billionaire financier, who has not publicly outlined his spending plans for the 2020 election.

Soros gave millions of dollars in January and February to the main super PACs planning to help presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden and Democratic Senate candidates, including $5 million to pro-Biden Priorities USA and $7 million to Senate Majority PAC, which is aligned with Senate Democratic leadership.

He also donated major sums to groups building political power among women, including a $1 million donation to EMILY’s List, and $2 million to Supermajority, a PAC co-founded by former Planned Parenthood leader Cecile Richards and Black Lives Matter activist Alicia Garza.

Soros has also contributed money directly to fight the coronavirus, by giving 1 million euros to help his native Hungary prepare for the pandemic.

Dispatches from a Pandemic (MDs and Nurses from Wuhan)

Along with gratitude for everyone supporting our medical communities, I wanted to share this piece of excellent journalism (imo). It was an emotional journey, from start to finish.

“Those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.”

Dispatches from a Pandemic

Opinion: What the doctors and nurses who beat back the coronavirus in Wuhan want you to know about their months in hell

The scene stayed with him. He couldn’t get it out of his head when he was awake. When he managed to sleep, he had nightmares. He was overcome by a sense of helplessness. While the state media were portraying health-care workers as heroes, he was devoting his time and energy to treating patients who would not recover. “We’re hardly heroic,” he says.

Li has continued to message and call me about once a week since our first long conversation. “I’ve been slowly improving,” he told me on March 11. Still, he continues to suffer from insomnia, and he is reluctant to tell friends and family in China how he’s really feeling.

The situation at work has taken another demoralizing turn. When the outbreak was raging, he explained, some of the hospital’s administrators cowered in their offices, too afraid to venture out into the wards. But now that commendations are being handed out, the bosses have been the first in line for bonuses.

“It’s much more profitable to work in the financial industry,” he laments. “Do you think I might still have an opportunity to work in that profession?”

While serving on the front lines, Wang saw many of her colleagues break down and cry in the hospital’s lounge. She sent me a video of a nurse curled up in a corner weeping and proclaiming hysterically that she wanted to quit. I asked Wang what had happened to that nurse, but she told me that such episodes were common. As soon as a patient rang a call button, the nurses would pick themselves up and hurry back to the ward.

On Jan. 27, Wang was diagnosed with a coronavirus infection. That judgment was based solely on her CT scan, even though the standard for confirming a coronavirus case at the time was to use a test kit. Within two weeks, China would formally loosen its criteria for counting cases, allowing for more diagnoses based on characteristic symptoms.

In any case, she told me that she was not interested in that kind of compensation. What she really wants is a post-mortem investigation into “the government and hospital officials who covered up the outbreak.”.

Arizona releases less COVID-19 data than many other states. That could be changing soon

That should improve in the coming week, because Gov. Doug Ducey issued an executive order Tuesday that requires more data reporting to the state related to COVID-19. The move came after The Arizona Republic reported on growing frustration and confusion about the limited information.

Hospitals now must report daily to the state several new statistics related to positive or suspected COVID-19 patients.
Those include the:
Number of inpatients.
Number of ventilators in use.
Number of intensive care beds in use.
Number discharged from the facility per day.
Number seen in the emergency department per day.
Number of intubations performed per day for respiratory distress.
Estimated number of N95 masks, surgical masks, face shields and surgical gowns used per day.
Publicly reported data inform people’s understanding of the virus, how it is playing out and how they can make the best decisions for themselves, their families and their communities.

This is not normal!

Scoff, if you will, the canary in the coal mine. That cretin, installed by his pal the Czar of Russia, is a monte bank, a fool, a charlatan, a thief and a grifter.

There are no words to express my disdain with those who will follow into the ovens of death and destruction. The reality is, they want affirmation by demanding we follow their doomsday, Jim Jones, cool-aid thinking.

It's not normal. Stop the happy PR that denies the truth, get real, tell it like it is. I am an optimist. I will survive.
