On the Tuesday May 19 PBS NewsHour, the Senate is divided over when to provide additional coronavirus aid -- and to whom. Plus: Sens. Pat Toomey and Sherrod Brown on federal pandemic relief, California Gov. Gavin Newsom on COVID-19 trends in his state, coronavirus infections surge in Russia, grappling with COVID-19 in the most vulnerable facilities, and a NewsHour Bookshelf choice that seems to echo reality.

Dr. Charlene Harrington provided information and commentary on staffing in Nursing Home both pre- and post-pandemic at 45:03.   https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/may-19-2020-pbs-newshour-full-episode 

On May 15, Dr. Harrington's expertise was called upon by NPR in their article, "As Nursing Homes Report More COVID-19 Deaths, More Governors Order Universal Testing" found at https://www.npr.org/sections/coronavirus-live-updates/2020/05/15/8572792...
