Mining companies say they are well placed to support the COVID-19 response thanks to decades of experience combatting tuberculosis and HIV-AIDS among workers, including the creation of on-site treatment facilities.

I went from being broke, homeless, and suicidal, to making $15k per week. My message to you is DON'T GIVE UP! Even when all seems impossible. I STILL work a regular job on top of my business because I’m scared to death to be homeless again. All thanks to DennisWillam77

For their employees only and for selfish reasons.
