This would assist dramatically in reducing the spread.~ ~ ~For the benefit of anyone who worries about their computer being ambushed by a Trojan Horse, virus or bug, the... less

It imposes racial and gender pay equity provisions, diversity on corporate boards, increased use of minority-owned banks by federal offices, and a grab-bag of other diversity-themed requirements.
It increases the collective bargaining power for unions and cancels all the debt owed by the U.S. Postal Service to the U.S. Treasury.
For the global warming crowd there are increased fuel emission standards and required carbon offsets for airlines, plus tax credits for alternative energy programs.
For the kids there is a provision for student loan payment deferment, and for the education bureaucrats who overcharge them a $9.5 billion giveaway to colleges and universities.
It gives $100 million to juvenile justice programs, and suspends various aspects of enforcement of immigration laws

There are built-in “nocturnal activity” requirements that go along with the job, actually, that makes up more than 51% of it, so the shy or prudish need not apply. Fear of acquiring a criminal record disqualifies you, so you must have a willingness to circumvent laws. ~

Inapt because not every virus is a disease and/or it’s either a virus or a disease, but not both. Redundant because if a virus is a disease, then it makes as much sense as saying PIN number, or ATM machine.

Why would ANYONE want to be the leader of any country right now? The heavy burden of responsibility necessary to address the Corona Virus and its widespread ramifications seem overwhelming, in my opinion. No matter who one is, this crisis stands in the face of the best minds and the best intentions to contain it. Leading, guiding, reassuring, protecting, and informing one’s people are only some of the tasks a head of state must perform. As such, not all of the right answers come easily for any person, which is why learned advisors are needed also. The full and final responsibilities still fall in the hands of that one person, the head of state. Regardless of how intelligent, charismatic, compassionate, kindhearted, forward-thinking, respectful, and/or benevolent a head of state is, this crisis makes the job more difficult than any mortal can deliver.
To reiterate, why would ANYONE want to be the leader of any country right now?~ less
