Gary, Lyn and Dee discuss COVID-19, tax breaks, and other news.
Is the U.S. a failed country? Will we ever get enough test kits? Tax breaks? On the good side, corporate volunteers are doing their part. Michael Savage, a conservative radio host, lambasts other members of the conservative movement. Really? Expect the poverty rate to go up. McConnell defends trying to cancel a CDC program to help fight pandemics since 2017. Assisted living homes are coming under fire for coronavirus cases. Is it time to close these facilities down or at least require that they maintain hospital cleanliness/sanitation standards?
The visors that we mentioned being made by the LEGO company were approved for use as PPE. LEGO is now churning out over 13,000/day and will begin converting other factories to make more.
