• The connection between male unemployment and increased rates of domestic violence
• How abusers are weaponizing he coronavirus to further interfere with the relationship between protective mother and child--a typical #abusertactic

• How Trump is touting the use of a non-CDC tested and approved drug, Hydroxychloroquine, an anti-malaria drug, to treat coronavirus, and how an Arizona man died self-medicating with a form of the drug
