As the weekend approaches I ask that everyone take social distancing & wearing a mask/face covering seriously. #COVID19 is a virus that can spread to anyone - we can stop this together.

Oakland County judge tosses people in jail for showing up late, even amid pandemic
Both times, Oakland County Circuit Judge Leo Bowman ignored the risks that the defendants could contaminate the county jail with disease or become contaminated themselves, their lawyers said in written objections.
In one case, Bowman read aloud his order requiring immediate jail for a tardy real-estate developer, even as the sickly 61-year-old man — who’d just come from an urgent care clinic — vomited into a courtroom wastebasket, his lawyers have said in legal documents.
In a second case, the judge immediately jailed a young mother who was 20 minutes late because her bus had been delayed, then refused to release her in mid-March, just as state officials were saying that virtually all non-violent inmates should be released to avoid spreading COVID-19 inside county jails.
...
In the earlier case, the Free Press published a story on March 10 about a real-estate developer who was six hours late for a court hearing in a civil case because he was being treated that day for contagious pneumonia. Although developer Howard Baum was told by a doctor to avoid contact with others, Bowman insisted that Baum appear in court, sentencing him to five days in jail for being late — even as the 61-year-old man vomited into a wastebasket under the defense table, his lawyer Arthur Weiss said.

Mark Meadows considers new White House press secretary
Source: Axios
White House Chief of Staff Mark Meadows has privately discussed bringing on Pentagon spokesperson Alyssa Farah or Trump campaign spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany as a new White House press secretary, two sources familiar with the talks tell Axios.
Why it matters: Meadows' start on Tuesday as Trump's new chief presents a chance to overhaul a press shop that's kept a low profile since President Trump ended the tradition of daily press secretary briefings.
Stephanie Grisham, who's held the post of White House press secretary and communications director since last July, has never held a formal daily briefing — a regular practice that ended under her predecessor Sarah Sanders.
It's not clear whether Meadows intends to replace Grisham or to bring in a press secretary to supplement her communications director role — and whether he intends to resume regular briefings on topics beyond the coronavirus.
