On a Sunday evening two weeks and an eternity ago, Susan Brooks rang in her seventh decade, disco style, in the upstairs ballroom at the Trump National Golf Club in Rancho Palos Verdes.
The party, which was first reported by the South Bay-based Easy Reader News, has sparked a minor firestorm in Rancho Palos Verdes, where Brooks is a fixture in local politics and was once the city’s mayor.It underscores that in a pandemic, certain motions of daily life no more extraordinary and no less cherished than a birthday party can turn perilous, seeding a crowd with a sickness that blooms as the party breaks up, carrying it home, to work — everywhere.
Two days before the party, Susan Brooks had asked her friend, Janice Hahn, the Los Angeles County supervisor, if she should cancel it. No, Hahn told her — but do send “a very strong email” warning guests to stay home if they feel sick.Brooks emailed her guests: To anyone with a cough, fever, runny nose or other flu-like symptoms, “please stay home and rest,” she wrote. “This is especially important considering our age group. We love you and will miss you, and will celebrate together soon.
“It was, ‘Oh, this is media pollution, you’re overblowing this,’” she recalled. “I remember going home that night feeling a little bit ashamed.”
'There was also, it turns out, the virus itself. Brooks learned a week later a party-goer had tested positive for COVID-19, the infection caused by the coronavirus. She soon tested positive herself, along with three other guests.'

Trump says he's activated National Guard in New York, California and Washington stateNEW: President Trump announces he will activate the federal National Guard to assist Washington, California and New York — 3 of the states hit hardest by the coronavirus pandemic. Thank God for his press meetings instead of listening to CONCast. Maybe he should have sent some to WA first (after he said there are 15 cases and going down to zero soon). The man is a loser! Did Trump just sarcastically say 'gee that's too bad'when he heard Romney was in isolation Wow....smh

Amazon sent Moncler jackets to MARS guests after event cancellation - Business InsiderAmazon sent guests of its cancelled robotics conference $600 Moncler jackets, and it shows an uncomfortable reality about Amazon's army of struggling warehouse workers The hungry hordes will be ruthless with this fucker. Eat the rich! 🥩🍖🦴💀 SAI Hint; it’s the narcissism and greed. Human sweat equity capital is what built him up from a bloody garage business to a multi billionaire. Obviously that’s lost in translation when it comes to lifting all boats. These were likely already custom made for the event and were just mailed to the participants. You’re reaching on this one.

Democratic group launches $6 million campaign attacking Trump on coronavirus responseThe Democratic Party's leading super PAC this week is launching ads in a $6 million campaign that slams President Donald Trump for his response to the coronavirus pandemic. As Citizens grapple with Coronavirus and Pelosi and Schumer and Warren stall the bill and take advantage of sick Republicans I'm sure this will go over big as people wait for checks that may never come. Thanks Nancy! realDonaldTrump Damn those democrats they’re going out there and telling the truth of how incompetent Trump is as a president and complete lack of leadership he has shown since the day he became president. Yes, please! Call his failures!

Trump wants to defeat coronavirus — and make sure he gets creditThe coronavirus briefings offer a window into the 2020 challenges for President Donald Trump, who must appear in control while keeping in check his personal grievances From this view, all he needs it's an Orange suit and the pic. would be perfect. Not gonna happen👍😷 realDonaldTrump is not in control & he doesn't even care about what is being done or more to the point not being done. All he continues to do is lie & make himself look as if he's the greatest president of all time. I beg to differ & am sure many more Americans would agree.
