Continuing to be the bearer of rational news ...... From NPR: H1N1 Was The Last Pandemic. Here's Why COVID-19 Isn't Yet In That Category
Despite worrisome new outbreaks in Iran, Italy and South Korea, the coronavirus disease called COVID-19 is not currently a pandemic, the World Health Organization said today.
In fact, there are some encouraging trends, especially in Hubei Province, where most of the cases have been reported.
The epidemic there appears to have plateaued in late January and is continuing on a good trajectory. Dr. Bruce Aylward led a WHO trip to China with a scientific delegation that just concluded. On Sunday, he told reporters in Beijing that trend is real.
Aylward said that he'd spoken to a researcher in Wuhan who is testing potential drugs to treat COVID-19 "and when I asked him what challenge they're finding in trying to implement the trial, he said the single biggest one is recruiting new patients ... because of the drop in cases."
The global economy and civilization survived what was a much more serious virus in H1N1, 2009. Perspective. Dow should recover some of the value of what was lost today if Futures, up about 1%, turn into actual trades tomorrow.

"We're very opposed to the authoritarian nature of Cuba but you know, it's unfair to simply say everything is bad. You know?" Sanders said on CBS' "60 Minutes" in an interview that aired Sunday. "When Fidel Castro came into office, you know what he did? He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?"Originally posted by lineygoblue View Post
Bad people can do good things. President Trump is awful but he deserves some credit for the first step in criminal justice reform that happened during his administration.

Maybe its because Israel is the most reliable US ally in the area, and has a proven track record for peaceful coexistence with neighbors that sign treaties with them.why is it in this country that we have to support everything israel does without question?
The others in the area? Not so much."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

Depends on what is allowed to be read.He had a massive literacy program. Is that a bad thing? Even though Fidel Castro did it?"
Castro was all in favor of the people reading the works of Karl Marx and Vladimir Lenin all they wanted.
But, let them openly read a Bible ... and off to prison you go ...
I guess 'bad' is in the eye of the beholder."The stockings were hung by the chimney with care, .. I'd worn them for weeks, and they needed the air"Comment

My daughter goes to NYU and is studying in Florence this year. They closed the campus today. The expect it to open in a month. We are scrambling to get her a flight home.I feel like I am watching the destruction of our democracy while my neighbors and friends cheer it onComment

That sucks, hopefully she gets out of there before the virus spreads.Comment

She'll probably fly Thursday or Friday. Shouldn't be much of a problem other than the cost of a short notice ticket. She's bummed about it. She just got back after winter break and was looking forward to the finishing the year. The are planning on reopening the Florence campus right after spring break. We'll see how it goes.

Iran announces their Deputy Health Minister has the virus. There's video going round of him at a press conference yesterday, clearly uncomfortable, using a towel to wipe his face of sweat multiple times.
He was standing right next to another politician in a room full of people with no masks.
New possible outbreak in the Canary Islands has a hotel of 1,000 people locked in their rooms. In that case an Italian tourist (also happened to be a doctor) tested positive.
That article notes that overnight Austria and Croatia both announced their first cases. Seems like Italy might be becoming a new epicenter of the disease. Heard it noted on a couple shows that northern Italy is typically flooded with rich Chinese tourists this time of year for the Milan fashion week. Perhaps the ones that did show up brought the virus along.Comment
