Update (1405ET): Johns Hopkins University has just updated its coronavirus tracker to reflect the numbers just released by New York State and that put the US total over the 1 million-case threshold.
To be exact, the US has reported 1,002,298 cases, and 57,266 deaths.

Official statistics show that 26.5 million people have applied for unemployment benefits since mid-March, wiping out all of the jobs gained during the longest employment boom in U.S. history, and another 3.5 million initial claims are expected to be filed this week.
However, EPI�s survey indicates that an additional 8.9 million to 13.9 million people have been shut out of the system, said Ben Zipperer, the study�s lead author, which means that as of this week, just shy of 50 million American have lost their job since the start of March. "This study validates the anecdotes and news reports we�re seeing about people having trouble filing for benefits they need and deserve," Zipperer said.

Why Illinois Is In Trouble � 109,881 Public Employees With $100,000+ Paychecks Cost Taxpayers $14B
Illinois could soon be the first state in history to have its bonds rated as �junk.� Last month, both Moody�s MCO and Standard & Poor�s downgraded Illinois debt to just one notch above junk status.
Last week, the Illinois State Senate President Don Harmon (D-Chicago) wrote a letter to Congress requesting a $41.6 billion bailout. Critics balked.
In many ways, Illinois may have already crossed the Rubicon.

The Washington Post has assigned 20 reporters to look into every aspect of Donald Trump's past as the presumptive GOP nominee seeks to become the next president of the United States, famed Post associate editor, Bob Woodward, said Wednesday.
"There's a lot we don't know," Woodward told the National Association of Realtors convention, according to The Washington Examiner. "We have 20 people working on Trump, we're going to do a book, we're doing articles about every phase of his life."
Woodward himself is looking into Trump's real estate deals, he said, saying that "The New York real estate world is more complex than the CIA."
Woodward said Jeff Bezos, the Post's publisher and a Democratic Party donor, has urged the paper to cover all of the candidates thoroughly.
"He said, 'Look, the job at The Washington Post has to be tell us everything about who the eventual nominee will be in both parties, 15-part, 16-part series, 20-part series, we want to look at every part of their lives and we're never going get the whole story of course but we can get the best attainable,'" Woodward said.

The fact that nobody bothered even to think "What-IF" such pandemic occurs--is a big shame on this industry.

IF they are spraying, the spraying would likely have a better overall economic effect IF they helicoptered 10-20-30K-whatever other amount than the one-time $1200 to the peasants and zero to corps/banks.

Baltimore Sun 4-28-20
Md. to begin releasing data on nursing homes
Decision comes as officials reveal facilities account for significant portion of deaths
Amid pressure from families, patient advocates and the nursing home industry itself, Maryland said Monday that it will begin releasing data on coronavirus infections and deaths at long-term care facilities this week.
The announcement comes days after state officials denied requests for that information from The Baltimore Sun, and after health officials also refused to share it with the state�s largest nursing home associations. A state health official said disclosing how many cases or deaths have occurred at specific facilities would compromise patients� right to privacy and serve �no public health purpose.�
The about-face comes as county health officials revealed to The Sun on Monday that nursing homes and other long-term care facilities account for a significant portion of the 858 COVID-19 deaths reported across the state as of Monday.
In Baltimore and Anne Arundel counties, for example, residents of those communities represent two-thirds of deaths confirmed or suspected to be coronavirus-related, county officials said.
Long-term senior care facilities account for 17% of deaths in Prince George�s County, 20% in Baltimore City, 36% in Harford County, 67% in Baltimore County, 71% in Anne Arundel County, and more than 90% in Carroll County, where more than two dozen people have died in an outbreak at a single Mount Airy nursing home. Officials in Howard and Montgomery counties did not respond to similar requests Monday.
In announcing that the state would make the information public after all, Gov. Larry Hogan said in a statement that transparency is �at the heart of our response to COVID-19.�
Maryland is one of 15 states that has not made public detail about the prevalence of coronavirus cases and deaths in elder care facilities, according to data gathered by the Kaiser Family Foundation.

For centuries salt was one of the most expensive commodities. The word Salary is derived from the bags of salt that were paid as diamonds or gold coins.
Then the refrigerator and the cans were invented and the salt Empires collapsed like a stack of cards. Very fast. Salt was used mostly for preserving meat.
We are facing the same thing with oil.
Alternative energy sources and small virus have stopped the demand for oil. There are stories of merchants emptying their swimming pools to store oil.

�The food supply chain is breaking,� John Tyson, chairman of Tyson Foods Inc., the largest U.S. meat producer, wrote in a blog posted on the company�s website:
CNN reported Tyson�s blog post also ran as full-page ads published Sunday in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette.
�During this pandemic, our entire industry is faced with an impossible choice: continue to operate to sustain our nation�s food supply or shutter in an attempt to entirely insulate our employees from risk,� Smithfield Foods, the largest global pork producer owned by the Chinese WH Group, said in a statement on Friday. �It�s an awful choice; it�s not one we wish on anyone.�
�It is impossible to keep protein on tables across America if our nation�s meat plants are not running. Across the animal protein industry, closures can have severe, perhaps disastrous, repercussions up and down the supply chain,� the statement said. �Beyond the implications to our food supply, our entire agricultural community is in jeopardy. Farmers have nowhere to send their animals and could be forced to euthanize livestock, effectively burying food in the ground. We have a stark choice as a nation: we are either going to produce food or not, even in the face of COVID-19.�

Pelosi Pitches Universal Basic Income To Cope With Pandemic
First, what the Fed�s already done: pushed interest rates to zero and expanded into �unlimited� buying of assets, now reaching to corporate bonds and local government bonds. These bring the same concerns we had in 2008: trillions in new money to dilute the spending power of current savers, along with the risk of �moral hazard� where government covers the losses for corporate, and government, irresponsibility.
What�s more concerning is what the Fed might do next. Proposals are floating up for four very corrosive measures:
*** negative interest rates;
**** directly subsidizing bonds;
****writing Fed checks for corporate equity or for a UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME up to $72,000 per year;
**and letting poor countries effectively print their own US dollars.
All four may be bonkers, but they carry significant political risk, because they enjoy support not just from the redistributionist left, but also �business conservatives� happy to raid our future to make their pain stop.

New Zealand's Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said the coronavirus was "currently" eliminated but that the country needed to remain alert and could still expect to continue to see new cases.
At a news conference, New Zealand reported one new case, four "probable cases" and one new death.
Ashley Bloomfield, New Zealand's Director General of Health, said the low number "does give us confidence that we've achieved our goal of elimination, which -- that never meant zero but it does mean we know where our cases are coming from."
