Former German Chancellor Gerhard Schroder is earning his keep for his Russian paymasters by calling for Western sanctions against Russia to be dropped. How disgusting for a former head of state to degrade himself in such a humiliating way

I'm on Twitter because I want to contribute in some fashion to getting rid of Trump and the Republicans. At 74, I'm also dealing with my own feelings about being old and considered irrelevant outside the context of my family.

Stop. They don't care how many die. They don't care how many are suffering. They only care about winning re-election in Nov. Their goal: Fashion a narrative that lets that happen-distractions, deflections, lies, disinformation that in any combo gets them to 270 electoral votes.

BREAKING: The organization Trump used to project only 60,000 US deaths from COVID-19, today doubles their estimate to 135,000 by August. The modeler blames lax social distancing. Which stemmed from some using a model that said this wasn’t a big deal.

IMPORTANT THREAD: It's been 16 weeks since our schools and offices closed here in #HongKong. We have four #COVID19 deaths and 1040 cases total for our population of 7.5 million. Because we have been doing so well, this week we begin the slow process of opening back up. So how will things change?
Not much. We will still wear masks everywhere. We will still socially distance at restaurants, which have been open here throughout the pandemic but at half capacity. We will still get our temperatures taken at every store in the mall, at the grocery store, even at the park. /2— Gina Smith (@ginasmith888) May 5, 2020
IMMUNITY MAY NOT MEAN MUCH That science denial thing is thankfully not a thing here. The HK populace realizes scientists don't yet know whether exposure leads to lasting immunity. Yes, we have antibody testing, but we know not to put too much stock in those results yet. /4— Gina Smith (@ginasmith888) May 5, 2020
QUARANTINE HOTELS ARE FINE WITH US Here in Hong Kong, it's cheap and easy to get tested for the coronavirus. But if you test positive, you don't go home. You go to a converted hotel for 2 weeks so you don't infect family and friends. This setup will be around for a while. /6— Gina Smith (@ginasmith888) May 5, 2020
SMART BUSINESSES As I've mentioned, restaurants and stores never closed here. But almost all take your temperature at the door and require masks inside the premises. We don't have mask laws. There's no need for them. We wear masks to protect each other, not ourselves. /8— Gina Smith (@ginasmith888) May 5, 2020
We expect schools to partially open later this month, which does make me a little nervous. But given the Hong Kong response so far, we feel pretty secure here in the long run. But what I've been seeing in the US news makes me worried for you guys. /9#queenofcorona— Gina Smith (@ginasmith888) May 5, 2020
