Bills and Jets owners give generous donations due to Coronavirus

Coronavirus has hammered the state of New York in the last 10 days. There are now 37, 738 cases in New York alone with 385 deaths.

To put this into perspective, the state of New York now has more cases of Coronavirus than all other nations in the world except five. The United States now leads the world with 83, 097 cases (45 359 cases outside New York state). They are followed by China (81, 285 cases), Italy (80, 589 cases), Spain (57, 786 cases) and Germany (43, 938 cases).

In order to assist and do their part to raise awareness of the Coronavirus, the owners of the Buffalo Bills and New York Jets have made very notable financial contributions. Bills owners Terry and Kim Pegula have donated $1.2 million in community aid to the people of western New York impacted by Coronavirus. Meanwhile, the Jets owners (Woody and Christopher Johnson) have donated $1 million to the United Way.

It has been hard for the American public to take Coronavirus seriously, especially when the President of the United States Donald Trump made the comment earlier this week that he wants the United States “opened up and just raring to go by Easter.” Really? Mr. President, many within the United States might support your political platforms and agendas, but the Cincinnati Bengals have a better chance of winning the Super Bowl and the Detroit Tigers have a better chance of winning the World Series than the United States has of recovering from Coronavirus by April 12. Bottom line is this beast needs to be taken seriously. So far the beast is beating Americans.
