@jeanne-mayell I think with a lot of lockdowns virus may be stymied.  Main issue i think is test shortages.  I don't get a great feeling about this personally, but let's consider that something will pass through congress since it is clear that we are in this together.  The odd thing is that expectations can influence results.  Even if I think something will never happen, I try to shield myself and consider that maybe things will turn out better than I expect.

Iran coronavirus:

Based on satellite images it appears that Tehran has been  building vast burial trenches for COVID-19 victims .

Coronavirus burial pits in Iran are so incredibly vast that they’re visible from space.

And just two days tine after Iran declared its first cases of the novel coronavirus.

It would appear that they may have had enormous loss of lives and therefore become one of the largest outbreaks of the illness outside of China.

Check out the satellite image here:

I just saw this video of the worlds reaction to the virus. It touched me deeply and wanted to share with all my light working friends.
It reminds me of some kind of World War, that it is effecting All of us and we all have similar emotions....we are all connected.

 New York Times:
Fear, Humor, Defiance: How the World Is Reacting to Coronavirus

The coronavirus has touched a diverse collection of countries and cultures, but a number of shared experiences have emerged — from grieving the dead to writing songs.

@lovendures Yes!  Katie Porter is a hero.  She is a beacon to all women leaders who will be studying and learning from her for years to come.  She, along with Ayana Presley and AOC, is part of the turn around we are seeing that will lead this country to the more beautiful world we all know is possible.

Good news: Under heavy fire, Trump administration announces efforts to speed testing for coronavirus

The Trump administration announced a series of steps to boost the availability of coronavirus testing, which has drawn heated, bipartisan criticism and frustrated Americans who are sick and have been unable to find out whether they are infected.
The Food and Drug Administration has created a 24-hour emergency hotline for laboratories finding impediments to running tests, according to announcements early on Friday. Officials also announced they were giving nearly $1.3 million in federal money to two companies trying to develop rapid covid-19 tests that could determine results in an hour.

The fact that the Administration has bungled the response to this epidemic is bad news for them but good for the turnaround we need in the future. 

The fact that Katie Porter had to push the CDC Director and the world watched him avoid answering the questions and try to wiggle out of a decision means that once the tests start coming and this virus begins to turn around, the people of this country will not forget how the Trump GOP Administration had to be pressured to take care of them.  People also will not forget the courage of the Illinois Governor who stood up and criticized the Administration for failing to produce tests.  

It is a perfect storm for bringing down the Administration. They will of course, spin the story, but people won't forget what happened to them personally and who their heroes were.

Absolutely, positively true. My initial thought was "wow, this is just how we felt after 9-11 the spirit and energy of unification. 

Even our staunchly pro Trump extended family members (disclaimer: all on my husband's side ?

But of course its absolutely global in all ways. Breaks my heart that it takes something so filled with loss and tragedy to realize at the end of the day we all care the very most about the same things--the people we love above all.

The possibilty of loss is one thing but the actual losses to people we love becomes forever and ever life changing events.

My heart hurts so much for so many losses in so many countries all over this big, beautiful home we call Earth".

Gives me enormous hope now more than ever that hearts will feel all other hearts and they will expand, encompass, and merge with and blend into one another until all of us are able to not only feel the heart of another but all hearts everywhere and the division and separated that damaged and unhealed man has created in humankind will transform and rise up into and because of pure and perfect love as one world, one heart, one world.
