“Plasma from donors who have recently recovered from a COVID-19 infection may contain antibodies capable of neutralizing the virus. Studies suggest that the early transfusion of convalescent plasma in seriously ill patients has had a significant affect in decreasing ventilator dependency and length of hospitalization.”

CDC: Mardi Gras quickened spread of coronavirus in Louisiana; canceling was never recommended
A report issued by the nation’s top health agency this week says Mardi Gras likely accelerated the spread of the new coronavirus in Louisiana, but the agency conceded it did not advise anyone in the U.S. to consider canceling large events until more than two weeks after the famed New Orleans street party.

At least 16 people were killed after tornadoes began ripping through the South on Easter, destroying homes and storefronts and leaving over 1 million people without power from an intense storm system now headed towards the Mid-Atlantic.
Tornadoes and severe weather hit Central Texas early Sunday, bringing “gigantic” hail and damage, and then travelled east through Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Alabama, Georgia, and the Carolinas.
In Mississippi, the state's emergency management agency said 11 people died in at least three different counties near the Louisiana border — Walthall, Lawrence and Jefferson Davis — from the weather.
Five more lost their lives in Murray County, Georgia, the fire chief Dewayne Bain told NBC News on Monday morning. The rural county, an hour outside Chattanooga, Tennessee, was hit hard, and four of the five who died were found in a local trailer park. The other fatality was brought to the emergency room before succumbing to injuries, and five more people were injured, Bain said. In Chattanooga, police deployed at least 26 teams of four to six officers to check on residents who requested emergency assistance after the storm.
The governors of Mississippi, Louisiana and Alabama each declared states of emergency to help recover from the damage caused by the storms.

Coronavirus-hit Mississippi, Louisiana, pounded by tornadoes, with at least 18 dead in the region
Mississippi and Louisiana – two states dealing with an increase of coronavirus cases – were hit Sunday with a deadly storm system that produced dozens of tornadoes that ripped through hundreds of homes and buildings, resulting in at least 18 deaths reported in the region.
The National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) said severe thunderstorms will barrel now toward the East Coast, with the threat stretching from southeast Georgia through the Carolinas into Virginia through Monday afternoon.
"We've had over 50 reports of tornadoes over parts of the South and the Gulf Coast," Fox News senior meteorologist Janice Dean said on "Fox & Friends."
"The Storm Prediction Center said this is the area that's going to potentially see the damage, including tornadoes, long-lasting, catastrophic tornadoes and now we are getting reports of many deaths."
TORNADOES STRIKE MULTIPLE STATES AS SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK UNFOLDS ON EASTER IN SOUTH
Besides tornadoes, there were numerous reports of large hail, damaging winds and flash-flooding throughout the region.

I have to look on both sides of the issue. COVID-19 was in this country and it was starting to spread but a lot of people including me thought it was going to blow over in a couple of weeks. On the other side of the coin I am sure businesses getting mad at him because of lost revenue was the first thing on his mind.
