Pop superstar Rihanna donates $5 million to coronavirus relief efforts

[WBAL] Rihanna’s Clara Lionel Foundation is giving $5 million to the response efforts against the coronavirus.

The money will support "on-the-ground partners working on the frontlines of disaster response especially those focused on protecting and serving marginalized communities ‐ helping the most vulnerable in the United States, the Caribbean and in Africa prepare for what is to come," the foundation said in a statement.

The funding will be channeled through Direct Relief, Partners In Health, Feeding America, the International Rescue Committee, the World Health Organization’s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund and others.

"Never has it been more important or urgent to protect and prepare marginalized and underserved communities ‐those who will be hit hardest by this pandemic," CLF’s executive director, Justine Lucas, said in the statement.

The money will go to food banks, testing, health care worker training, virus prevention and distribution of critical respiratory supplies.

#1 Good for her.

Bloomberg, where are you?

You just torched a cool billion for your idiotic, incompetent political vanity project.

Surely you can spare 2x or 3x that to offset the economic effects of shutting down the economy and killing off millions of American small business owners' cash flow.

Same message needs to go out to all the other shitty virtue-signaling billionaires, beginning with Jobs's left-wing SJW widow.
