     I'm delighted to have very positive news to report to you.  I also hope that

you will exercise enlightened self-interest to donate to those who are hungry.


(1) A very strong press release by V.P. Biden on "Incidents of Racism Against 
      Asian Americans and Pacific Islanders"
      
      "...it's clear that we need a president who demonstrates the leadership to 
        address every aspect of this pandemic - including the spate of racist incidents             targeting AsAms and Pacific Islanders - with urgency and seriousness."


(2) A 1':21" Video of NY Mayor Bill de Blasio's Speechvowing to punish hate 
     crime. 

      He also thanked AsAms working in the front line fighting against COVID-19 &/or 
      helping to distribute food to the needy, including the 16 million newly 
      unemployed.  

(3) The doubling of COVID-19 related deaths rate in the U.S. has increased from 
     3 days to 5 days.  Click here to see it for yourself.  It is very positive news.  That 
      is, the cumulative deaths in the US may still increase but the number of daily 
      deaths is not likely to increase much any more. 


(4) The NY Times reported: 

      Most New York Coronavirus Cases Came From Europe, Genomes Show.  The
above tells us that virus knows no borders. The whole world is being infeicted by COVID-19 and we must fight it together as one people. It is humanity against the virus.

(5) DONATE! Helping Others Is Often the BEST Way To Help Ourselves.

      A NY Times article reports'Never Seen Anything Like It': Cars Line Up for 
      Miles at Food Banks'.

 "... Millions are flooding a charitable system that was never intended to handle a nationwide crisis...."     
     
     Should we help? YES! Put ourselves in the position of the 16 million newly unemployed persons. Will we feel "food insecure" and also line up at the food banks, food pantries, soup kitchens, .., etc. Indeed, there could be real hunger in many families. Feeding America is one of the largest of such operations.

        To DONATE to Feeding America, Click here.  I just donated $1080.20 through Woo's Foundation.  Please work in 80-20 in your donation.  Other examples are $180.20, $80.20 and $8.02.   Will the Treasurer of Feeding America, who may receive hundreds to thousands of such donations, be curious?  Perhaps.  Will he/she make a newsworthy inquiry?  I don't know.  I do know that we should donate to help our fellow Americans out.  :-)


Each item above, whether informational or action-related, is a proactive
measure. Each is selected to help decrease street violence against AsAms,
AFTER the "stay at home" order is lifted.  So spread this e-mail far & wide, BEFORE the crisis explods.

Post your views here.      Donate.
