- Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell said states struggling financially should declare bankruptcy. According to Business Insider, McConnell said it was better to do that than get a federal bailout. McConnell doesn’t like the idea of borrowing “money from future generations.” He said the huge amount of national debt was a reason for waiting until May to push for more coronavirus relief in Congress. States declaring bankruptcy has been criticized in the past because it hurts the bond market and leads to higher interest rates.

- According to a story in Politico, senior leaders in Joe Biden's campaign are fighting over how to battle Pres. Tump's online fundraising machine.
Politico says a rift that comes as campaigning has moved largely online.
Biden is up against a massive deficit against Trump’s unprecedented digital operation.
What's the disagreement about?
Whether to hire most of its digital team internally or to rely on Michael Bloomberg's digital firm Hawkfish.
The battle over Hawkfish is a generational fight.
Older Biden staffers are more receptive to Hawkfish’s pitches than younger, digitally native staffers.
Some argue the an in-house digital team would make the campaign more nimble, save money, and generate more authentic content.
Since the coronavirus shutdown began last month, the campaign has not added any digital staffers.
Trumps team consists of hundreds of digital staffers and growing.

He explained "According to the most likely scenario, we will not have a vaccination before the end of next year."
Instead, Severin Schwan, chief executive of Roche, says that the public could have access to antibody tests sooner.
An antibody test, which could be available as early as May, would determine whether someone has had the COVID-19 infection.
If so, they would have assumed ongoing immunity to the virus.
Schwan said that an antibody test is key to allowing businesses to reopen and for people to gradually return to normal life.

The US Navy hospital ship was sent to Manhattan, New York in late March to help the city's hospitals, which were overwhelmed with coronavirus cases.
But the Javits convention center was also converted into a temporary hospital, and Comfort didn't receive a lot of patients.

Cuomo said, "It did give us comfort but we don't need it anymore, so if they need to deploy that somewhere else, they should take it."
During Tuesday's White House coronavirus briefing, President Donald Trump said that USNS Comfort will be sent back to its Virginia base, "so that we could have it for other locations."

- Ezra Acayan/Getty Images A new report estimates that, for every child in intensive care with COVID-19, there are 2,318 other children infected. While the CDC said there were around 2,500 US kids infected on April 6, the researchers say it was likely closer to 176,190 children. Based on the projections, if at least 25% of the US population is infected by the end of 2020, as many as 44,000 children would need to be hospitalized and 5,400 in intensive care.

- Description
- Acute respiratory distress syndrome, or ARDS, is a leading cause of death among COVID-19 patients.
Research shows that exercise may protect against the complication by activating a certain antioxidant in the body.
According to Business Insider, researchers are cautioning that the studies have not included COVID-19 patients.
Studies have shown that exercise boosts the production of the antioxidant EcSOD.
EcSOD, in turn, protects people against acute lung disease and other diseases.
The antioxidant can protect against ARDS, which is fatal in 45% of cases.
ARDS affects up to 85% of ICU patients affected by COVID-19.

- Description
- With the shelter in place order affecting Californians, cannabis sales and delivery have seen a boom in business.
Consumers are buying more cannabis products during the lockdown and utilizing delivery services to get them.
Last month, as stay at home orders, went into effect, sales of recreational cannabis across the U.S. were up 50%.
Key markets, including California, Colorado, Oregon, and Alaska, saw a huge increase in sales from the same period last year.
Industry experts say sales of cannabis flower have remained steady, while sales of edibles have become popular.
Experts speculate the increase in popularity is because edibles are easier to store and tend to last longer.
