Brooklyn woman, 86, dies after she’s knocked to the ground by stranger for violating coronavirus social distancing: police sources

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/crim...tancing-police-sources/ar-BB11Scct?li=BBnb7Kz

The NYPD is investigating what might be the city’s first coronavirus-related homicide — after a woman hit an elderly Brooklyn hospital patient in the head for violating social distancing, sources said Sunday.

Victim Janie Marshall, 86, died less than four hours after the tense confrontation with 32-year-old Cassandra Lundy in Bedford-Stuyvesant’s Woodhull Hospital, cops said.

Marshall, who was at the hospital for a bowel obstruction, innocently grabbed a metal stand in a hallway near a bed where Lundy, a seizure patient, was sitting around 2 p.m. Saturday, police sources said.

Lundy lashed out, complaining Marshall wasn’t following coronavirus social distancing guidelines, and allegedly slugged her in the head, knocking her to the ground, according to police sources.

Some of the confrontation was caught on video, though no one witnessed it. Hospital police issued Lundy a disorderly conduct summons after the attack and released her, sources said.

NY Dad Locks Out Son After He Returns From Spring Break

“I love my son, but they were not sleeping here.”
www.thedailybeast.com

Peter Levine of Nanuet, New York, warned his college-age son Matt he should not go to South Padre Island, Texas, for spring break in the middle of the coronavirus outbreak. The 21-year-old ignored the advice and went to party central—then drove with his buddies to dad’s home, hoping to crash.

No doubt..this coronavirus pandemic is causing more of a generational divide between Generation Z and the Baby Boomer generation. I can even see people 37 and older telling younger adults don't come around them if they continue to ignore the practice of social distancing.

The nation is seeing first hand that Tater Tot is without a doubt the worst governor in the US and that his ineptness will end up putting hundreds of thousands of Mississippians at risk who can't afford to even get to a doctor (especially elderly poor people). He's refusing to shut down the state because the rich white business owners who would lose a lot of money from a shut down have him in their pocket

Nissan has shut down all of their plants in Mississippi for two weeks yet Tater Tot won't shut down clubs, churches, etc.
 
Is 6 feet enough for social distancing? An MIT researcher says droplets carrying coronavirus can travel up to 27 feet.

Lydia Bourouiba, an associate professor at MIT, has researched the dynamics of exhalations (coughs and sneezes, for instance) for years at The Fluid Dynamics of Disease Transmission Laboratory and found exhalations cause gaseous clouds that can travel up to 27 feet.

Her research could have implications for the global COVID-19 pandemic, though measures called for by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the World Health Organization call for six and three feet of space, respectively.

Food banks struggle as demand explodes thanks to coronavirus layoffs

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/31/politics/food-banks-supplies-groceries-coronavirus/index.html

More people in need. Less food being donated. And volunteers staying home.

Food banks across the nation are facing a perfect storm as they try to help the growing number of hungry Americans amid the coronavirus pandemic. Millions of people newly unemployed mean food banks, food pantries and soup kitchens are seeing a flood of new clients appearing at their doors, just as supplies are dwindling because of growing demand from consumers stuck at home.

Food banks are reporting a 40% increase in demand, on average, said Katie Fitzgerald, chief operating office at Feeding America, a network of 200 food banks and 60,000 food pantries and meal programs nationwide. Some say they are seeing double to quadruple the number of people asking for help.
 
'That's just not true.' GOP Gov. Hogan contradicts Trump claim that testing problems are fixed
:clap:

Maryland Governor Larry Hogan, a Republican, said Tuesday on NPR's Morning Edition that President Donald Trump was incorrect in saying coronavirus testing problems had been resolved.

"Yeah, that's just not true. I mean I know that they've taken some steps to create new tests, but they're not actually produced and distributed out to the states." Hogan said, when host Rachel Martin asked him about Trump's assertions. "No state has enough testing."

In a coronavirus task force briefing Monday, Trump said America's coronavirus testing was better "than any country in the world."

Pentagon says it still hasn't sent ventilators because it hasn't been told where to send them
:read:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/03/31/politics/pentagon-ventilators/index.html
:popcorn:


Despite having committed to transferring 2,000 ventilators in military stocks to the Federal Emergency Management Agency and the Department of Health and Human Services to fight the coronavirus outbreak, the Pentagon has not shipped any of them because the agencies have not asked for them or provided a shipping location, the Pentagon's top logistics official said Tuesday.

In order to ship the badly needed equipment, the Defense Department has to be given a location to send them by civilian authorities who have to decide where the items are most needed.

"There was discussion with HHS on where to send them. And then they said hey wait, we're trying to take a look at the demand that's required, and so we were asked to just wait while there was just some sorting through on that. And I won't speak on behalf of them, but we were in a position to provide 2,000," said Lt. General Giovanni Tuck.

Tuck said he had no details on the HHS decisions, but added that "we haven't provided any, because as of last night, we were asked to just hold on the ones that we have, and then we will push them when they're ready for them."

Trump's withholding the ventilators to give to red states or states whose governors kiss his ass. He all but said it today.
 
This illness is getting more personal.

Not anybody in my immediate family that I know of. Yet. But, friends and associates. Their family members. Sick. One family friend's niece died two days ago.

It's all very sobering.

Scary even.

To know it's NOT a hoax and very real. That we are not close to having it under control. And that it can take any of our lives away rather quickly without us being able to do anything about it.

Be safe, my friends.

May God bless us all. Protect us all.

Do you think this is a bad thing? Should Americans be concerned?

Why Asia’s New Coronavirus Controls Should Worry the World

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/worl...should-worry-the-world/ar-BB11XSdu?li=BBnb7Kz

In China, international flights have been cut back so severely that Chinese students abroad wonder when they will be able to get home. In Singapore, recently returned citizens must share their phones’ location data with the authorities each day to prove they are sticking to government-ordered quarantines.

In Taiwan, a man who had traveled to Southeast Asia was fined $33,000 for sneaking out to a club when he was supposed to be on lockdown in his home. In Hong Kong, a 13-year-old girl, who was spotted out at a restaurant wearing a tracking bracelet to monitor those in quarantine, was followed, filmed and subsequently shamed online.

Across Asia, countries and cities that seemed to have brought the coronavirus epidemic under control are suddenly tightening their borders and imposing stricter containment measures, fearful about a wave of new infections imported from elsewhere.

More data showing people without symptoms are fueling the spread of coronavirus have top officials rethinking whether the general public should be wearing masks.

New data out of Iceland shows 50% of those who tested positive said they were asymptomatic.
In the US, an estimated 25% of coronavirus carriers have no symptoms, said the director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
"One of the (pieces of) information that we have pretty much confirmed now is that a significant number of individuals that are infected actually remain asymptomatic. That may be as many as 25%," CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield told NPR.

California engineer ran train 'off the end of rail tracks' in attempted attack on USNS Mercy in Los Angeles, DOJ says

California engineer ran train 'off the end of rail tracks' in attempted attack on USNS Mercy in Los Angeles, DOJ says

A California man faces federal charges after officials say he ran a train "at full speed off the end of rail tracks" near the U.S. Naval Ship Mercy.
www.usatoday.com

A California man faces federal charges after officials allege he ran a train "at full speed off the end of rail tracks" near the U.S. Naval Ship Mercy, the 1,000-bed floating hospital that arrived in the Port of Los Angeles last week amid the coronavirus pandemic.

Eduardo Moreno, 44, of San Pedro was charged Wednesday with one count of train wrecking after the Tuesday incident, the U.S. Department of Justice said in a statement. Moreno told police he believed the Mercy had "an alternate purpose related to COVID-19 or a government takeover," according to the DOJ.

Moreno told law enforcement officers he "intentionally derailed and crashed the train near the Mercy." The train Moreno was conducting crashed through several barriers and came to a rest nearly 250 yards away from the Mercy, according to the DOJ statement. Nobody was injured.
