    Right now, I think a lot of progressive energy in USA could usefully be spent on pressuring de Blasio to shut the schools and pressuring Cuomo (and Pelosi/Schumer) to get together an aide package to make shutting the schools easier for big cities.

        What emoji do we use to harass de Blasio?

        Why not just pressure *Cuomo* to shut down the schools?

        If those things are done, it won't be as a result of "progressive energy." Either way, "progressive energy" has been a total electoral failure so why would we rely on them for anything right now.

        Schools should remain open unless and until airports are closed. They are less dangerous than airports and also provide more important services for kids.

        Suspend rent and mortgage payments (utilities as well), shut down all businesses, close the markets, and tell everyone to stay home for two weeks, effective as of Wednesday. Only essential services still working, with modified shifts to encourage separation
