On Sunday former vice president Joe Biden, in an interview on ABC’s This Week, emphasized the importance of acting fast and taking measures to flatten the curve amid the pandemic. He also called for more iterations of the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (CARES) Act.

Despite fierce criticism from Donald Trump and others that the multinational 3M is not doing enough to produce critical medical supplies like N95 respirators, that's the furthest thing from the truth, according to the corporate giant's CEO, Mike Roman.

Florida’s Republican governor, Ron DeSantis, issued a 30-day stay at home order this Wednesday, as part of a national effort to slow the spread of the novel coronavirus, but by waiting this long into the pandemic to issue the order "absolutely" cost lives, according to Rep. Donna Shalala (D-Fla).
