.@BillGates is right. Halting funding for the @WHO during a world health crisis is “as dangerous as it sounds.” Save the politics for another day. Fight the virus with every weapon in the arsenal, including the WHO. https://t.co/ah6NKBY3V6 — PolitiTweet.org

In the U.S., African American women are still 2.5x more likely than white women to die as a result of pregnancy. That is unacceptable. We can & must do more to protect women of color & their babies. I remain committed to doing everything I can to protect black maternal health. — PolitiTweet.org

Right now, the US is only testing 150,000 people a day. Experts say we need to be testing at least 500,000 people a day to control this outbreak - it is the only way we will ever be able to end our nationwide shelter-in-place. — PolitiTweet.org

The United States & South Korea confirmed their first #COVID19 cases on the same day. 12 weeks later, U.S. cases have spiked & South Korean cases have not. Why? Because the Trump Administration STILL does not have a national testing strategy in place like South Korea. https://t.co/CxxgcMDlYL — PolitiTweet.org
