Rep. Ilhan Omar announces death of father from COVID-19 complications

 

Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., announced the death of her 67-year-old father on Monday due to complications from COVID-19. “It is with tremendous sadness and pain to say goodbye to my father, Nur Omar Mohamed. No words can describe what he meant to me and all who knew and loved him,” she posted on Twitter. The Washington Post reported that when Omar and her family arrived in the U.S., they lived for about a year in the Washington, D.C., suburbs. She recalled being bullied in middle school there. She remembered her father telling her, “They are doing this to you because they feel threatened in some way by your existence.”

 

The coronavirus has claimed 116,125 lives in the U.S. as of Tuesday morning, according to Johns Hopkins University. The virus is considered to be especially dangerous to the elderly community and those with compromised immune systems. On June 14, Omar took to Twitter to warn about the virus risk. '“'The pandemic is not over,” she wrote. “Stay vigilant. When protesting or volunteering, keep at least six-foot distance from others when possible, wear a mask, wash or sanitize your hands, and consider getting tested for #COVID19. And do not go if you have symptoms!”

Haven't dug that deep on her, to know, could be anyone as far as I am concerned. Who knows it could have been her husband at one time considering how young the brides they take are.

Poll: More Than 7 in 10 Americans Refuse to Use Contact Tracing Apps

 

According to a recent report, more than seven in ten Americans refuse to use coronavirus contact tracing apps developed by tech giants like Apple and Google. Ars Technica reports that according to data gathered from an online survey of over 2,000 people in the United States conducted by polling firm Opinion Matters on behalf of the security firm Avira, 71 percent of Americans state that they will not be downloading a coronavirus contact tracing app, including those based on joint tech developed by Apple and Google.

 

According to the data, fewer than 3 in 10 Americans intend to use contact tracing apps developed to track the spread of the Wuhan coronavirus. In April, It was reported that one in two Americans would probably or definitely not use a contact tracing app, showing a growing distrust for the tracking tools. Most of those that refused to use a contact tracing app were over the age of 55. Those who responded that they would not be using an app were asked to explain the decision with a multiple-choice poll. The most common reason people were hesitant to use a contact tracing app was privacy. 44 percent of those who said “no” to a contact-tracing app said that they would not trust the tech to protect their digital privacy. 39 percent believe that the apps created a false sense of security, while 37 percent believe the apps would not work to slow the spread of the virus. 35 percent also indicated a distrust of app makers. Just two months ago, 57 percent of people surveyed said that they’d trust public health agencies, 47 percent said they would trust insurance companies, and 43 percent said they’d trust Silicon Valley tech firms. Now, only 32 percent say they’d trust Google or Apple, and only 14 percent stated that they’d trust the government to keep their data private.

Ethics Scandal Drags John Hickenlooper Down as Primary Opponent Calls for Him to Drop Out

 

Colorado Senate Democrat candidate Andrew Romanoff has called for former Colorado Gov. John Hickenlooper to drop out of the Senate race in the wake of his ethics controversy. The Colorado Independent Ethics Commission slapped Hickenlooper last week with the highest ethics penalty for his use of a corporate jet and Maserati limo. Romanoff charged during a debate last week that Hickenlooper’s ethics scandal will lead to endless attack ads, which could jeopardize his candidacy in favor of incumbent Sen. Cory Garnder (R-CO). During a debate with Hickenlooper last Tuesday, Romanoff said, “Look, John Hickenlooper just wrote the Republicans’ ad against him twice now. The truth is that John Hickenlooper represents a threat that we cannot afford”.

 

Romanoff, who supports Medicare for All, beat Hickenlooper in the Colorado Democrat caucuses last March. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) also won Colorado during the March Democrat presidential primary. Romanoff has called for Hickenlooper to drop out of the Senate race. The Colorado Senate primary is on June 30. The National Republican Senatorial Committee (NRSC) has already launched an attack ad against Hickenlooper, detailing his ethics violations, which includes being the first person to be ever held in contempt by the Colorado ethics commission.

 

Jesse Hunt, the communications director for the NRSC, said that the ethics violations present a “serious problem with him for Colorado voters.” One Republican pollster said that Hickenlooper’s ethics scandal could give Gardner an advantage during the Senate general election against the former Colorado governor. “There are folks that — not everything is ideological,” one GOP official told the Hill. The Republican official added, “They might be voting against Republicans and Trump this time around. But I do think there are nonideological voters out there that will go for Cory Gardner.”
