On April 18, the Johns Hopkins Center For Health Security issued a report offering science-based guidance for state officials including governors on how to safely re-open communities. The report offered a risk assessment for various types of businesses and public spaces, with advice on how to best ease out of social distancing without creating a spike in coronavirus cases.
The recommendations got swift and immediate pushback from an unlikely source: librarians. On Twitter and other social media platforms, they were quick to criticize the paper’s characterization of libraries as being “low risk” for re-opening. Libraries were characterized as low risk based on contact intensity and number of contacts, similar to walking trails and parks.
From LIBRARIANS?!!! I thought the internet got rid of them! 🤣

SBA warns big companies on seeking small business loans after backlashThe guidance doesn't change the formal rules of the program and wouldn't necessarily stop large companies from continuing to seek the aid. Shouldn't there be built-in protections for actual small businesses in the application process? After they already had their share of the huge stimulus scam phew...we need those coronavirus emails released ASAP . I don't like big companies applying for this also but it is not their fault. If you are too stupid to write legislation that goes to the people who need it you get what you deserve. To blame this is disingenuous to say the least but you are to blame not them.
