I read something on how they tested out in Seattle. They had to do it without the testing kits initially because the CDC wouldn't let them. So they figured out a backdoor way to test by testing for the flu and eliminating the flu.

So AIPAC (the pro-Israel lobbying group) just held its annual conference and after it wrapped up they sent all attendees a notice. A group of attendees from New York had all been in contact with a confirmed COVID-19 case back in NYC. They don't say but it'd make sense that this would be the orthodox jewish man from New Rochelle whose infection has already gotten a synagogue and 4 schools shut down by the state. So far no one who was actually at AIPAC is confirmed to be sick but...

Far right Israeli politician says he supports a law that could be, maybe, the end of Netanyahu (if it passes). It would disallow anyone currently under indictment from serving as PM AND also impose term limits on PM (Netanyahu has served four terms already). If this party is supporting the bill then combined with Gantz' party they have the votes to pass it.

If anyone starts feeling like they have the flu, don't do what this moron did
Dartmouth employee returned home from Italy and was showing flu-like symptoms. A doctor told him to self-quarantine. He ignored the advice and went to a Meet-and-greet with Dartmouth Business School students instead. Now he's tested positive and another person he had close contact with has too.
