Today’s Coronavirus Novel
A sampling of Beachwood’s coronavirus social media; get the full picture @BeachwoodReport.

Journalist Jon Cohen to Fauci: What Trump said about China, transparency and the virus timeline just doesn’t comport with the facts.

THE MEDIA IS STUPID: The vote was 47-47; it was a procedural move that needed 60 to pass. There was no need for him to return to Washington to vote. Where was he instead? Raising millions for coronavirus relief. https://t.co/yewpLh13mL
