Yes Harvard did BUT so many of other colleges have kept mum which is absolutely disgusting IMHO!

Apparently also the bill that authorized the money in the first place wasn't very clear about who was supposed to get it. They were more interested in getting it out fast than in making it clear.

I guess I gave the bankers too much credit! Obliviously "common sense" didn't occur to them!

The University of Notre Dame, for one, has said it plans to accept the federal funds allocated to the school but use them only to "direct financial aid to students whose families have been struck by unemployment or otherwise upended by the pandemic." Recipients of the federal funds are expected to reserve at least 50 percent for emergency financial aid to help students with expenses related to coronavirus disruptions.

I hope this is true but I have my doubts!

Alki saw significant crowding last Sunday, April 19 so the city is implementing two additional strategies to deter crowding this coming weekend: 1. Adding additional signage. 2. Deterring congregating in picnic shelters and benches through caution tape and placing boards or signs on seating. We will leave some benches open through the park to serve those with disabilities. These efforts are in hopes that we will not have to close Alki Beach due to persistent crowding.

Our goal is that people would stay home, and when they go out to recreate that they walk in their neighborhood or use neighborhood parks. If folks do want to use Alki we would like them to keep it moving when they are there—walk, run, or bike, and try and visit the park during a less busy hour.

After public out cries, later in the day, they agreed to remove the bench blockers.

Bloomberg) --

On Friday, Trump sought to clean up his briefing room riff from the day before about the possibility of fighting coronavirus infection in patients with chemical disinfectant or sunlight -- a dangerous idea that doctors and a manufacturer of cleaning products felt obliged to publicly warn against.

Trump said he had “sarcastically” suggested Americans be injected with disinfectant. The president’s new spokeswoman also sought to clarify his remarks. “President Trump has repeatedly said that Americans should consult with medical doctors regarding coronavirus treatment, a point that he emphasized again during yesterday’s briefing,” the press secretary, Kayleigh McEnany, said in a statement. “Leave it to the media to irresponsibly take President Trump out of context and run with negative headlines.”

I doubt anyone who watched the briefing live or otherwise is buying this explanation for his suggestions!

Most news outlets are reporting that Kim Jong Un is still alive, and that the viral photo showing him in a glass coffin is faked.

Who would take over if Kim Jong Un died? I don't think he has any children, does he?

In the midst of the global pandemic and a worsening economic crisis, one of the president’s most loathed turncoats got word that he’d receive an early release from prison to serve the rest of his sentence at home due to concerns over the coronavirus. The prisoner, his family, his friends were all relieved and predictably ecstatic when they got the news.

Donald Trump was not. “He was not pleased when he found out Michael was getting out early,” one of the individuals bluntly stated. According to those who spoke to him about it this month, the president was visibly agitated, bemoaning the early release of Michael Cohen, his former fixer and lawyer turned “rat” for the feds.

The rumor is Cohen is writing a tell-all-book! IF it's true lets hope it comes out before the 2020 election!

John Bolton's The Room Where It Happened: A White House Memoir never came out in April and has since been pushed back to May 12, 2020.

I suppose a pandemic isn't the best time to release a book OR perhaps this is karma biting his ass for his refusing to testify!

Either way, I doubt the book will make as much $$$ as he originally thought! And as a sarcastic Seinfeld would say.."that's a shame"!

Washington — President Trump plans to invoke the Defense Production to order meat processing plants to remain open, a senior White House official said, as plants owned by some of the country's largest food companies grapple with outbreaks of the coronavirus among workers and a growing death toll. The president is expected to sign an executive order declaring the meat processing plants critical infrastructure to protect against disruptions to the food supply, a person familiar with the matter said. The federal government will also provide workers with additional protective gear and guidance, the person said. The senior White House official said the Trump administration will also issue guidance from the Labor Department providing additional liability protections. The White House and Labor Secretary Eugene Scalia are also working to provide safety standards and guidance for employees.

This after thousands of cases of Coronavirus are linked to employees in several state. Are you kidding me?!

OLYMPIA — Gov. Jay Inslee could announce an extension of his statewide coronavirus stay-at-home order later this week, according to his chief of staff. The order is currently scheduled to lift at the end of the day on May 4, but the governor has said parts of it would continue for longer. “We hope we will be able to tell you what the date of the extension will be by the end of this week,” said Inslee chief of staff David Postman in a news conference Tuesday afternoon.”But I’m not 100% sure we will do that, but we’re certainly going to try to share that as soon as we can.”

The remarks come as Inslee in recent days has taken small steps to lift some measures intended to slow the spread of COVID-19, the illness caused by the virus. The governor on Friday announced that some construction work on existing projects could start back up under new safety guidelines and social-distancing requirements to protect workers.

Meanwhile, Secretary of Health John Wiesman said Tuesday there have been discussions about reopening regional areas of Washington that have fewer coronavirus cases. “We are exploring that right now, in terms of what that might look like,” he said, adding later: “We are exploring what kind of a regionalized approach would look like.” “And I’m sure you’ll be hearing more about that in the days to come, as we make some further decisions about that” he added. Still, said Wiesman, “We certainly want to see cases decreasing everywhere.”

I am not sure if Kim Jong Un is dead or not. He could be in hiding....or under house arrest....

His sister would take over.

Kushner calls US coronavirus response a 'success story' as cases hit 1 million


Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, praised the administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic as a "great success story" on Wednesday -- less than a day after the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States topped 1 million.

Kushner painted a rosy picture for "Fox and Friends" Wednesday morning, saying that "the federal government rose to the challenge and this is a great success story and I think that that's really what needs to be told."
When he was pressed on coronavirus testing levels in the US, Kushner said the question shouldn't be why did it take so long, but, "How did we do this so quickly?" Kushner also predicted that things will be "rocking" by July.
"May will be a transition month ... I think you will see by June, a lot of the country should be back to normal, and the hope is that by July the country is really rocking again," he said.

Just more stupidly "happy talk" IMHO!

Biden to join MSNBC's 'Morning Joe' to discuss Reade sexual assault allegations.

Former Vice President Joe Biden will appear on MSNBC's "Morning Joe" on Friday morning, where for the first time he will address allegations from a former staffer named Tara Reade who says he sexually assaulted her in 1993.

"Morning Joe" booker Michael Del Moro said the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee would be responding to the allegations during an appearance on the show. The appearance from his home studio in Wilmington, Del., would allow Biden to deal with the issue in what could be a more favorable setting. Biden is conducting the interview on his own and will not be joined by his wife Jill Biden.
