Dr. Kelly Sennholz: It's been at least a week since a doc in Seattle called me to tell me they're having increasing number of young people sick & on ventilators. It's not just people over 70.

Scott Dworkin: This is not a drill, a joke, or a hoax. It's a very real pandemic. There are probably well over 100,000 people who are sick from it in our country right now.

Heather Long: I think there will be a call from the new generation of leaders for changes, for unions. They won't want to live through this again.

Jeff Zucker: Scott Brown & I are the founders of ADVault; we started 13 years ago, knowing people wouldn't be able to tell their drs their wishes.

Sarah Burris: A lot of rural hospitals closed down or were really hurt when Trump decided he wasn't going to fund Obamacare. I don't think people will understand why they have to drive an hour or more to a hosp., & they're mostly Repub voters.

Maggie Buchanan: Sen. Warren sent a letter; there's attn being paid to those who are incarcerated. What best practices exist? Those who are awaiting a trial or hearing need to get in front of a court so they're not trapped.

Tom Ultican: I think this [staying home from school] will prove just how bad the cyber schools & charter schools are. When a bunch of kids are trying to learn online, people will find out how bad it is.The teachers will have to tell parents how to help

Neil Campbell: School leaders are faced with an incredibly difficult decision in closing schools. Kids rely on school lunches, kids w/ special needs rely on the add'l help.

Dr. Kelly Sennholz: Italy got behind in its recommendations; they were always a step behind the virus. When people fled the infected area of Northern Italy, they took the virus with them. We've basically done the same thing here.

Rep Pat Harkins: We're making a lot of strides behind the scenes; most people aren't aware of what we're working on. We're trying to be proactive instead of reactive; we're pairing with NY, NY, & MD, trying to put safeguards in place.

@PaHouseDems

Jared Yates Sexton: I am so angry, hearing that governors have to kiss the ring for Donald Trump, who needs to have everyone suck up to him, even during a pandemic.
