• From Delta Airlines: Watch Dr. Michael Saag, Professor of Medicine and Infectious Diseases at the University of Alabama at Birmingham, explain why airplane cabin air is clean, safe and healthy to breathe.
• Editor’s note: I grew-up in Louisville, KY. and attended Sunday School with Dr. Saag. His parents and mine were very close friends. This man’s kindness and sincerity you see on this video is authentic. I am very proud of Michael and the information he shared to allay the concerns of the flying public!
• I have recently taken several flights on Delta, Alaska and Horizon Air and am very comfortable with their protocols for combating COVID-19 in protecting their passengers and staffs.

Data released by the Small Business Administration Monday show that private equity-backed chains and companies owned by members of Congress received money from the Paycheck Protection Program along with almost 90,000 employers that either said they would not retain any jobs or did not say how many they’d retain.
