    During the Covid-19 we have been advised to wear protective gear, masks & gloves. That advisory does not apply to black people shopping at the Southside Giant Eagle! On April 14th while buying my daughter a birthday cake at the Southside Giant Eagle myself and my fiancé were accused of shoplifting. My fiancé was detained, searched, and of course NOTHING was found. Below you will find both of our receipts. The Man pictured with the mask on is apart of Giant Eagle’s lost prevention team. After i was humiliated and degraded in front of fellow shoppers I asked the gentleman for his name 3 times. He refused to give it to me, i took my phone out to take the picture you see below and he proceeded to smack my mask off my face. Let’s be clear I was angry, but i knew it was best that i left because i would end up in jail as a black man. I frequent the Citizens Bank in that Giant Eagle as I am a Platinum customer, so i was in complete shock i was being treating like this. I continued to record as I was leaving, because a security guard was following me. I instructed my fiancé to call the store to speak to the manager. Below you will see the video of the security guard who followed Us outside. I was trying to get to my car and the security guard pulled a gun on me. I am a unarmed, black man who was at least 30 feet away. He put my life in danger, my fiancé’s life in danger, my children’s life in danger, and every innocent bystander in that parking lot. What that Security guard did was reckless! I was not a threat in any type of way! Giant Eagle in efforts to cover their wrongdoings filed false reports of simple assault and terroristic threats. I need my community’s help! This is not right and they need to be held accountable! Make this go Viral!

    I'm sorry this happened to you Orison.
    I remember back in the day, 1970 or so, walking into the local G.C. Murphy's Five and Dime store in my hometown outside of Pittsburgh upon returning from college.
    I had long hair down over my shoulders, which was pretty shocking back then.
    The entire store just stopped and everyone in it were staring at me. Then the clerks started following me around, so I left in a hurry.
    I remember thinking, "This must be something like what it is to be black." But I also knew I could cut my hair whereas it's pretty difficult to change the color of your skin.

    It's a shame.

    It's the way it's always been

    Die of a heart attack or stroke, but report to you doctor you've been smoking for 40 years, still gets listed as a smoking related death

    If you get run over by an ambulance, police car or a truck delivering medical supplies, that probably also counted as a Covid death

    "The coronavirus is not going to go away so we must learn to live with it, the World Health Organisation's special envoy for Covid-19, David Nabarro has said.

    He told Hardtalk's Stephen Sackur that it was not known how long it would take to develop a treatment or a vaccine.

    "We have all got to learn to live with this virus, to do our business with this virus in our presence, to have social relations with this virus in our presence and not to be continuously having to be in lockdown because of the widespread infections that can occur," Mr Nabarro added."

    'Nobody told us about the coronavirus pandemic'


    "In 2017, Elena Manighetti and Ryan Osborne decided to take the plunge many dream of - they quit their jobs, bought a boat and decided to travel around the world.

    They asked their families to keep in touch, but with one rule: no bad news.

    The couple, who lived in Manchester, were travelling across the Atlantic ocean from the Canary Islands to the Caribbean last month when, unbeknownst to them, a new and deadly coronavirus was spreading across the world.

    After 25 days at sea, and with little communication with the outside world, the couple planned to dock on a small island in mid-March.

    But upon getting phone signal while still off-shore, they discovered the island's borders were closed and found out the world had been suffering from a global pandemic they'd heard nothing about."
