Every day, every hour, every minute, heroic frontline healthcare workers—and the legion of support staff that enable them—are risking their health&lives while responding to the deadly #COVID19 pandemic. Congress *must* prioritize delivering support to these brave heroes ASAP. 1/5
I implore Senate GOP Leadership to join us&work together to provide urgently-needed emergency $ to our nation’s hospitals, healthcare providers&state+local gov'ts in the next deal. They must abandon “take it or leave” tactics&embrace bipartisan solutions for the public good. 5/5
It should not take something as dangerous as #COVID19 to remind us that we must work to ensure healthcare is equitable for every single American. I’ll continue to advocate for the health & safety of communities of color as we weather this storm and in the days after it passes.

Black residents make up 70% of #COVID19 deaths in Chicago. That’s disturbing—and unacceptable. As the stats come in, they highlight what many vulnerable people already know: in a nation as great as this one, there's still a large & deadly health disparity for black Americans. QT @WBEZ: Health experts say the finding is “upsetting, but not surprising.” https://t.co/Jd1pFAT4fr)
Our Community Health Centers are on the front lines of the fight against #COVID19, so I’m proud to join @SenatorDurbin in announcing more than $52m in federal funding so these health centers can keep serving Illinois throughout this crisis. https://t.co/JtojytZXAg

I’m grateful for leaders like @chicagosmayor during times like these. I’ll keep working with @SenatorDurbin and her to help make sure Chicago has access to the supplies, federal funding and testing it need a to deal with this public health crisis.

Remember to disinfect everything before you bring it into the house. If possible, leave non-perishables outside for 2-3 days before bringing them indoors.

This pandemic is a test of our faith in our founding doctrine of “We the People.” If we focus on the we—and think about the many not just the one—then we can save lives & beat this virus. it’s up to each one of us to act in a way that protects all of us. https://t.co/P301HWmbrd

This man did not need to die. Americans are rightfully scared right now&while nobody should be self-medicating or trying to concoct their own pharmacy drugs at home, Trump must stop spreading misinformation as well. We desperately needs honest&competent leaders during this crisis
Anti-malaria drugs ARE CURRENTLY NOT PROVEN TO TREAT OR PREVENT #COVID19. We have to give doctors, public health experts & researchers the resources & time to do their jobs. I cannot stress this enough: PLEASE listen to doctors and public health experts!
Telling people they don’t need to social distance to soon would be a mistake that *will* cost Americans their lives. Trump should listen to public health experts, not his corporate billionaire buddies.

They deserve our thanks and our support, and I’ll keep working to make sure we do everything we can to keep them safe from #COVID19 as they continue working during this crisis.
I’m proud to help introduce this relief proposal—which includes key components of my bill to increase access to capital for small businesses—to provide them with the support they need to survive this crisis and build for the future.
I refuse to leave smal businesses behind while Congress addresses the economic impacts of this public health emergency. https://t.co/C9RKXyoMyC
The up to 5 million respirator masks @DeptofDefense has made available to @HHS is a great interagency effort to address the growing COVID-19 pandemic, but I urge @EsperDoD & @SecAzar to provide guidance for civilian healthcare workers using this equipment: https://t.co/si16M43VvZ
