In 2020, power sector CO2 emissions declined by 3.3% - the largest relative & absolute fall on record. While #Covid19 reduced electricity demand, expansion of renewable power generation was the biggest contributor to the drop in sector emissions → iea.li/3eYeM8N

People have died in the ER while waiting for a bed. There aren't enough ventilators. This entire hospital will soon be dedicated to the coronavirus. New York City hospitals are at the center of the pandemic in the U.S. “It’s apocalyptic," one doctor said. nyti.ms/2Je6fgJ

I did the math: a full battery of coronavirus testing costs at minimum $1,331. I also did the legal research: the Administration has the authority to make testing free for every American TODAY. I secured a commitment from a high-level Trump official that they’d actually do it.
