I keep hearing stats like “there are 44 cases of COVID-19 in Washington State.” What journalists should really be saying is that these are the number of tested, KNOWN cases. The number of tests in the US so far is tiny; we *do not know* how many people have it.

The coronavirus is not the zombie apocalypse. Odds are if you—a randomly selected person—get it, you will get past it. But there are people who face much worse odds than a randomly selected person, and you’re being asked to wash your hands and stay home when you’re sick FOR THEM.

Scientists: you should wash your hands because of Coronavirus.
People: I'm gonna stop flying, hoard masks, work from home & totally rearrange my life.
Also Scientists: the #ClimateCrisis will kill millions - we must use clean power & change how we get to work.
People: No way.

After the economy crashed in 2008, I was called to Washington to help lead us out of the crisis.
I know what's still broken in our economy today—and I know how to fix it. Watch our new ad.

You're supposed to wash your hands for 20 sec, which is the time it takes to sing Happy Birthday twice. But I'm tired of singing Happy Birthday and you probably are too, so I've done the very important public service of compiling other songs with roughly 20 sec choruses to sing:

CHOOSE YOUR OWN ADVENTURE:
A) Sanders and Trump waving their hands and yelling on national tv.
B) Biden and Trump yelling and challenging each other to push-up competitions on national tv.
C) Warren expertly and surgically eviscerating Trump on national tv.

Since this is getting attention.
COVID-19 HOTLINE: 1-800-525-0127
DON'T CALL unless you are experiencing all symptoms or have been exposed to a case. Leave the lines open to people who need it most. Any other questions can be answered on the CDC, WHO, or WA public health sites.

I don't know who needs to hear this, but forbidding health officials and expert scientists from reporting on a global pandemic without clearance is not how a government in a democratic society is supposed to operate.
Government health officials and scientists will have to clear statements about the coronavirus outbreak with the office of Vice President Mike Pence, in an effort to tighten the White House’s control of messaging about the virus

President Obama set up anti-pandemic programs in 47 vulnerable countries, as a way to protect against something just like Coronavirus breaking out across the world.
Experts begged Trump to keep them open.
He closed 37 of them.

WARNING: This is not funny. #CoronavirusOutbreak is an international health & national security emergency & we are NOT preparing. Trump is actively ignoring it.
