Pres. Trump says he intends to reopen country in weeks, not months
WASHINGTON — President Donald Trump said Monday, March 23 that he wants to reopen the country for business in weeks, not months, and he claimed, without evidence, that continued closures could result in more deaths than the coronavirus pandemic."We can’t have the cure be worse than the problem," President Trump told reporters at a press briefing, echoing a midnight Sunday tweet. “We have to open our country because that causes problems that, in my opinion, could be far bigger problems."President Trump acknowledged there were trade-offs, “there's no question about that," but claimed that, if closures stretch on for months, there would be “probably more death from that than anything that we're talking about with respect to the virus.”The comments were further evidence that President Trump has grown impatient with the pandemic, even before it has reached its expected peak.

Gov. Evers orders insurers to assist restaurants offering delivery during COVID-19 pandemic
MADISON -- Governor Tony Evers on Monday, March 23 ordered that insurers operating in Wisconsin assist restaurants offering delivery service to customers during the COVID-19 pandemic -- in support of the Evers administration’s work to support the nearly 13,000 restaurants and their workers across the state ordered to close to customers except for delivery and pickup services.According to a news release from the Office of the Commissioner of Insurance, insurers must cover delivery services for restaurants on personal auto insurance policies and must offer coverage for hired drivers and non-owned automobiles as a rider on a restaurant’s general liability insurance if it is requested -- both at no extra cost to the policyholders.“I’m grateful that so many Wisconsin restaurants and their workers are serving our communities through delivery, takeout, and drive-throughs.

Over 1.5 billion globally asked to stay home to escape virus
PARIS — The hunt for masks, ventilators and other medical supplies consumed the U.S. and Europe, as more than 1.5 billion people — one-fifth of the world's population — were asked or ordered to stay home on Monday to try to blunt the spread of the coronavirus.Political paralysis stalled efforts for a quick aid package from Congress, and U.S. stocks fell at the opening bell even after the Federal Reserve said it will buy as much government debt as necessary and lend to small and large businesses and local governments to help them cope with the economic damage from the outbreak.In New York, where a near-lockdown took effect statewide over the weekend amid fears the city could become one of the world's biggest hot spots, the mayor warned that hospitals are 10 days away from shortages in “really basic supplies" needed to protect health care workers and patients alike.“If we don't get the equipment, we're literally going to lose lives,” Mayor Bill de Blasio told CNN.The risk to doctors, nurses and others on the front lines has become plain: Italy has seen at least 18 doctors with coronavirus die.
