On this day, 18 March 1871, the Paris commune, the first ever attempt at a working class uprising to create socialism, was established. The workers of Paris, joined by mutinous national guardsmen, seized the city and set about re-organising a society based on workers’ councils. The communards were able to hold the city until late May when, upon retaking the city, troops massacred 30,000 workers in bloody revenge.

Pence Warns Coronavirus Disruptions Could Last 'Well Into July' -

npr:

With the Trump administration hoping to inject as much as $1 trillion into the economy to deal with the mounting coronavirus crisis, Vice President Pence warned on Tuesday that disruptions from the outbreak could continue until at least midsummer.
Speaking one day after President Trump unveiled sweeping new guidelines advising Americans to avoid bars, restaurants and gatherings of more than 10 people for 15 days, the vice president said the administration is bracing for a severe economic disruption.
“The 15 days is about measures we believe can impact the growth and expansion of the virus in the United States,” Pence told NPR’s Steve Inskeep in an interview at the White House. “But we fully expect that we will be dealing with the coronavirus in the United States for months … according to some of our modeling, we could well be dealing with coronavirus cases in the United States well into July.”
