Ecuador's western city of Guayaquil, one of the hardest hit by novel coronavirus, is planning to build a mass grave as the government predicts an increase of deaths due to the virus

From CNN's Jason Hoffman, Manu Raju and Kevin LiptakAs President Trump signed the largest economic stimulus ever bill into law, social distancing was visibly absent.

The close contact goes against guidelines from both the President and the entire medical community that says gatherings of more than 10 people should be avoided to help stop the spread of novel coronavirus.According to a tabulation by CNN, the average age of the 16 people in the Oval Office was 65.8. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has said that anyone over 65 is at high-risk for suffering severe symptoms from exposure to the Covid-19 virus.

The number of reporters and correspondents allowed to cover White House briefings has been restricted to allow members of the press to sit far apart, and the number of people gathered on the podium behind the President during those briefings has dwindled in the last few days. At the Capitol earlier Friday, lawmakers made a point to stand with some distance between them during their signing ceremony.

Mass grave...bad idea. They should cremate the bodies to save space, and protect against a possible zombie up rising .

Sad. It might be a good idea for many hard hit cities to start using mass burials. IDK

What a fear mongering tweet by a crappy news source

🎷

Why on Earth would they do that when families want to bury their family members properly

Can you point to any independent confirmation of this at all? I have found none.

It’s too pessimistic to build a mass grave in advance. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Keep at it. It’s too early to give it up. I’ll keep my fingers crossed. Take care and best of luck😊

What lessons can we learn from World War II?During World War II, Detroit automakers stopped passenger car production and put all their resources into tanks, military trucks, jeeps and other war materiel. Now, some distilleries are bottling hand sanitizer, while Hanesbrands is making masks. Yet fema told GM NOT to make ventilators❗️ Why⁉️ The gov't DPA was enacted in WWII; Don has invoked the DPA, but no orders have been placed yet as of today so a big question is why not? Because ALL out EFFIN manufacturing is in CHINA thanks to Clinton, Bush and OBama!
