Zohar (Bereishis 49a) AND G-d brought her to the MAN. From this we learn that it is incumbent on the father and mother of the bride to transfer her to the domain of the bridegroom; so we read ‘my daughter I have given to this man’ (Devarim 22:16).After she has been transferred to her husband, he needs to come to her because the house is now her domain as we see in Bereishis (24;23)”and he came to her”i.e. and he came to Rachel”This is reinforced by the fact that regarding the parents it says “brought” but in reference to the husband it says “he came”. That shows that the husband now needs his wife’s permission. Similarly the verse says:”And he prayed in the place and stayed there for the night Bereishis 28:11) which means he sought permission first. From this we learn that if he wants intercourse with his wife he must persuade and placate her with words first. Otherwise he can not be with her because the relationship needs to be of mutual consent and desire without force. We also see that the Torah states “He stayed there because the sun had set” That means that intercourse is forbidden during the day.It also says “he took of the stones of the place and put it under his head”. From this we learn that even a king who has a bed of gold with expensive covers,if his wife prepares a bed of stone for him he must leave his own bed and sleep on the stone bed which she prepared. As it says “and he lay down in that place” Also see that it says here “and the man said “this time” that shows he spoke to her to coax and attract her to him in a friendly and affectionate manner. Look how tender his words were,”bone of my bone and flesh of my flesh”, to express that they were truly one entity and inherently inseperable. And then he began to sing her praises, “and this one shall be called woman” meaning she surpasses all others and is so perfect as if other woman were like monkeys compared to human beings. Only she is seen as the perfect woman. Every word is inspired by love this is comparable to the verse in Shir HaShirim(31:29) “Many woman have done great things but you surpass all of them .”therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and cleave to his wife and they shall be one flesh.” All this was to win her affection and attract her to him

https://www.jpost.com/Israel-News/Israel-to-restrict-movement-work-as-coronavirus-crisis-continues-620887
Israel is expected to impose further restrictions and regulations on the public, limiting movement and employment as the coronavirus
crisis worsens, N12 reported Friday evening. On Saturday, a senior
official at the Health Ministry reportedly said discussions with other
officials that Israel should announce a lockdown and not wait, according
to Channel 13.
Health Ministry officials reportedly
said that no more than two people should be in a room together to
prevent the spread of the virus, according to N12. Additionally, Health
Ministry officials allegedly recommended a partial lockdown for at least
five weeks, while others warned that a lockdown could lead to economic
collapse.
Tucker Carlson: Coronavirus was largely ignored by impeachment-obsessed media as epidemic began
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/tucker-carlson-coronavirus-story-was-ignored-by-media-obsessed-with-impeachment
We took a lot of heat for saying that. Some accused us of sucking up
to the liberal media, a group we spent three years despising. But it
wasn't exaggeration in the end. It took just four days to prove that all
of this was totally real. In fact, they were conservative estimates
that coronavirus isn't going away. We're going to cover it honestly. We
promise.
Former Director of White House Pandemic Office Says Disbanding Unit Left U.S. 'Less Prepared' for COVID-19 in Op-Ed
https://www.newsweek.com/former-head-white-house-pandemic-office-says-united-states-less-prepared-after-closure-1492337
Beth Cameron wrote in an op-ed for The Washington Post
that the Trump administration's response to the novel coronavirus had
been "slow and inadequate," and suggested that the closure of the
Directorate for Global Health Security and Biodefense had contributed to
its "sluggish" response.
She added that the closure of the unit
left "an unclear structure and strategy" for coordination of efforts to
combat the damage of a pandemic.
Trump's State of Emergency Is an Admission of Failure by the U.S. Government
https://time.com/5802795/emergency-coronavirus-pandemic/
President Donald Trump’s declaration of a
national emergency is designed to speed federal support to parts of
America that are struggling to prepare for a coming surge of COVID-19
cases, unlocking $50 billion in aid, giving hospitals and doctors more
freedom to handle a potential tsunami of sick patients and scrambling to
make tests available. In a Rose Garden press conference Friday, Trump
presented the emergency measures as proof that, “No nation is more
prepared or more equipped to face down this crisis.”
But for epidemiologists, medical experts and current and former U.S.
public health officials, the need for such extraordinary and hastily
organized steps is a tacit admission of failure, not just by Trump’s
White House but by the U.S. government over multiple administrations.
How Fox News misled viewers about the coronavirus
https://edition.cnn.com/2020/03/12/media/fox-news-coronavirus/index.html
As the coronavirus pandemic gripped the country over the last several weeks, television viewers — especially those supportive of President Donald Trump —- had one place they could go to for some sense of solace: Fox News.
"If
you are over the mass hysteria, if you're over politicizing and
weaponizing of the coronavirus, you are not alone," Sean Hannity, the
highest-rated host on Fox News, assured the network's prime time
audience this week.
Indeed,
over the past several weeks, top hosts and personalities on the
conservative cable news network downplayed concerns about the virus,
baselessly accusing credible news organizations of overhyping the crisis
to hurt Trump politically.
