Details of how to contribute:
""We have not done anything wrong, if our smallest efforts can help save a life we will not stop or be scared" says @srinivasiyc, #sosiyc chief. ndtv.com/india-news/bv-…

1. @Paytm is raising funds to source supplies of oxygen concentrators.
2. @zomato Feeding India, through its Help Save My India initiative is helping hospitals and patients with oxygen and related supplies in association with @delhivery.
The situation is very bad in Bengaluru. Many people are dying on the roads without getting any treatment. I have received more than 100 calls from patients seeking beds since morning.
All the story scripted by @Tejasvi_Surya about beds is far from truth.

.@Tejasvi_Surya has done a U-turn about the list he read out. He is trying to run away by blaming officers. He tried to communalise the issue by targeting only Muslim employees out of 205 working in the War room.
He is exposed in front of the people.

More than 16,000 people have tested positive yesterday in Bengaluru. If each patient needs at least 10 days of hospitalisation, Bengaluru needs at least 1.5 lakh beds in next 10 days.
@Tejasvi_Surya has to present the data of the number beds available in Bengaluru.

The court said that:
“The amount of the compensation, in our considered opinion, is very less. To compensate the loss of life of the bread earner of the family and that too because of the deliberate act on the part of the State.”

Back to reporting after ~4 weeks of battling the virus, being a caregiver to 3 in family, finding hospital beds, labs, struggling to seek info about hospitalised parents. All this in a small town. Was lucky though to have eventually found resources & recover. Many are not #Thread
The chaos, health infra in JSR, my hometown & a fairly developed city, has given a 1st hand experience of healthcare in small towns. Doesn't end at lack of infra. Sheer negligence & under-preparedness both by govt & ppl is beyond belief. Story same across tier 2&3 towns in India
#Covidcrisis has fiercely moved from big cities to small towns - those having limited experience of 1st wave, were complacent & poorly educated about the outbreak. Health infra broken, unable to take the load, processes are slowing. 2020 was just taken as a one-off historic event

At a time the #USCongress is vigorously debating another #fiscal rescue package to support households and businesses into year end, it’s vital to think hard about the intersection between #Fed monetary policy/fiscal support and what it means for #markets: bit.ly/3fkZbfM
In fact, the #CovidCrisis forced an evolution in policy coordination, whereby for the first time since WWII, U.S. policymakers married monetary and fiscal policy, with the #Fed and @USTreasury working together to inject cash from the #Fed’s #QE programs into the private sector…
That has been game changing for #liquidity near-term and should continue to help combat the #economic fallout from the #pandemic.
The federal government *CAN* help the economy recover and ensure that recovery is broad-based and equitable. @equitablegrowth's @dsmitch28 lists 21 actionable policy recommendations to combat the #coronavirus #recession 👇equitablegrowth.org/twenty-one-pol… (1/x)
1. We need #UnemploymentBenefits! UI helps workers weather an economic crisis while keeping demand for goods and services from plummeting. The emphasis on work disincentives reflects racist biases against low-income workers of color. equitablegrowth.org/factsheet-unem… (2/x)
2. We need to make #UnemploymentBenefits better, by addressing structural flaws in the system, as @alixgouldwerth writes: equitablegrowth.org/fool-me-once-i… (3/x)
A great deal of the focus on #CovidCrisis #economic recovery, understandably, is centered on national-level data, but it’s also interesting to see how world #trade volumes have been affected.
In summary, world #trade volumes declined 1.1% in May, following on a 12.2% decline in April. Overall, #GlobalTrade has declined about 17% year-to-date as of May and resided at October 2010 levels.
Within this dynamic, however, we’re witnessing some significant month-on-month #dispersion, with #Europe, Canada, Australia and New Zealand displaying improved #trade volumes, while the U.S., Latin America and much of Asia and Africa languish.
Launched #MANODARPAN - a platform to provide psychosocial support to students, parents & families for their mental health and emotional well-being today, in the presence of MoS for HRD Shri @SanjayDhotreMP ji.
Children and adolescents may be more vulnerable and may experience a heightened level of stress and anxiety due to #COVIDCrisis. Hence we felt that while it is important to focus on #online education, the mental well-being of students also needs to be given equal importance.
#Manodarpan has been included in the #AatmaNirbharBharat Abhiyan, as a part of strengthening human capital and increasing productivity and efficient reform and initiatives for the #Education sector.
Priceless from Johnson - in answer to a question from @janemerrick23 - I have to say , in all candour to the British people, you only have to look around the world to see dire consequences of not bearing down on the virus
No need to look around the world PM

PM demonstrated throughout contradiction of being absolutely clear and highly conditional simultaneously

1/ After the destruction of the second Temple, Rebbe Yochanan ben Zakkai (Ribaz) innovated the culture-saving concept that Torah could take the place of the sacred space & sacrifices
Every place could be made holy, through Torah
It's kept my people & culture intact for 2000 yrs

It's kept my people & culture intact for 2000 yrs
2/ The building - as depicted in many a midrash - became a husk of wood & stone. The kedusha went to every space dedicated to Torah
Possibly it's based on Avot 1:2: the 3 pillars of Torah, Avoda & Ma'asim Tovim are equals (sefaria.org/Pirkei_Avot.1.…)

3/ Many aggadic statements support the idea that Torah study is equal to all the commandments, again possibly b/c of Ribaz's innovation
The #CovidCrisis is an unprecedented halakhic period similar to what Ribaz faced, where sacred space needs to be translated & shifted

The consequences of the #covidcrisis are the macroeconomic topic of the day. Many observers & researchers compare the situation to the global financial crisis of 2008. A key difference is the large rise of household debt & asset prices that pre-dated the financial crisis. 1/17
In a new paper w/ Alina Bartscher, @MSchularick & Ulrike Steins, we explore the drivers behind the built-up of household debt in the U.S. before the financial crisis. We exploit newly available long-run microdata on the financial situation of households from 1949 to 2016. 2/17

#Thailand #PM @prayutofficial in opening remarks at 1st virtual #ASEAN leaders' summit urged 10 nations to prevent region from becoming an epicentre for #COVID19 #coronavirus #โควิค19. Said region needs cooperation to flatten curve, not let virus overtake healthcare capabilities
#Thailand #PM @prayutofficial at virtual #ASEAN leaders' summit cited how #COVID19 #coronavirus #โควิค19 has greatly impacted lives of regional citizens & the economies. Called on 10 members to work together to help revive the economy. Also updated the bloc on #Thai measures
#Thailand #PM @prayutofficial spokeswoman said the PM at #ASEAN summit proposed 5 ideas like an ASEAN & ASEAN+3 of #China #Japan #SouthKorea "Response Fund" to combat #COVID19 #coronavirus #โควิค19 by reprioritizing 10% of existing funds between 2 groups of nations
