| Is pragmatism a necessary condition to win the ISL title? - Goal India Posted: 24 Mar 2020 01:01 AM PDT In 2009, Pep Guardiola's Barcelona created history by becoming the first Spanish side to win a European treble. The very next year, Jose Mourinho repeated the feat with Inter. However, the style of plays of both the sides were highly contrasting. The Spaniard focused on the aesthetic aspects of the game and wanted to win while playing beautiful football. Mourinho adopted a more pragmatic approach and did what was needed to get over the line. Which approach gets you the title in the Indian Super League (ISL)? We take a look. The pragmatic approach has won the trophy on five of the six occasions so far. The league plus knockout format of the competition could be a factor behind this. A certain degree of pragmatism is also required in a final, as has been evidenced in the ISL apart from one instance. The 2015 Chennaiyin side braved it all to make a spectacular comeback that saw them rise from the last position to finish third and eventually win the title. They played expansive football and despite an impressive defensive record of conceding just 15 goals in 14 games, they have the attacking duo of Stevin Mendoza and Elano to credit for the turnaround. In the final, Chennaiyin were trailing 2-1 but capitalised on two mistakes from Goa custodian Laximant Kattimani to score twice in the dying moments of the game and make it 2-3 in their favour. Three-time champions ATK have the safety-first approach to thank for their first two titles. Antonio Habas's first stint at the club and Jose Francisco Molina saw the Kolkata-based side play to win and garner as many points as possible through a pragmatic approach. They conceded a combined 27 goals in 28 games in the league phase during the two seasons and edged Kerala Blasters on the tiniest of margins on both occasions. There was no flamboyance or display of superior attacking football, it was only a matter of getting the job done.
 The Chennaiyin side that won the title in 2017-18 also assumed the same approach. They relied on a tight defence, goals through set-pieces and their ability to protect a lead to win their second title. Yet again, goals from set-pieces helped them down league leaders and tournament favourites Bengaluru FC in the final. The Blues, hence, failed to win the title in the season, in which they exhibited the best football with very little room for pragmatism. When Carles Cuadrat took over from Albert Roca at the southern club, there were hints that he would adopt an approach that was more similar to the past winners of the ISL than it was to Roca's brand of football. Although Bengaluru maintained a lion's share of possession in most games, it was a tight defence, prolificacy from set-pieces and a cautious approach in the final that helped them win the title. In fact, they maintained to stifle Goa and scored the winner in extra-time through a set-piece, fittingly, given that Cuadrat is an expert in set-pieces.
 Goa were arguably the team to watch that season, given their attacking brand of football. But that alone could not help them cross the line against a pragmatic Bengaluru side that became the first team to top the table and win the trophy. The ATK side that won the title this season was pleasing to the eye, especially with Roy Krishna and David Williams running riot on the counter. However, they needed that element of pragmatism throughout the season, more so in the final. The Marina Machans were at rock bottom when Owen Coyle took over and had had the liberty of playing nothing to lose. They did not give up this approach and the attacking brand of football even in crunch fixtures towards the end and this helped them get the better of favourites FC Goa in the playoffs. However, ATK's safety-first approach and their ability to absorb the pressure helped them claim their third with a 3-1 win in the final. In the six-year history of FC Goa, they are probably the team that has played the most pleasing brand of football. However the fact remains that they are yet to win the ISL. It might help them in topping the league stages but in a knockout stage, you need that bit of pragmatism. Clearly, as much as attacking and aesthetic football is appreciated, the evidence so far suggests that pragmatism is vital for a team to win the ISL.

| The ticking lockdown time bomb: Why injury misery awaits Premier League clubs - Goal.com Posted: 24 Mar 2020 12:31 AM PDT A fitness expert who has worked closely with Premier League players, including Manchester United forward Odion Ighalo, has warned it could take months for players to get back to full fitness and that there will be a higher risk of injury when league play resumes. As it stands the league has been postponed until April 30 at the earliest due to the coronavirus pandemic and players from all teams are currently training from home. United closed their Carrington training base last week due to the virus with a date of April 10 has been pencilled in for the players to head back to the training centre. However, that could well be pushed back further with the situation being constantly reviewed. Players from all age ranges and teams have been given personalised programmes to work on at home - in an attempt to keep fit during this unprecedented break to the season - and have been in constant contact with the club's coaching staff over what they need to be working on. But, Wayne Richardson, who spent 18 years working at Manchester City and has worked on a one-on-one basis with some of the United players after setting up his own fitness company Richardson Sport, believes it's going to be a long journey back. "When they finally return to full training you're talking about a month really to build up to being anywhere near match fit," Richardson explained to Goal. "They're all at home working on programmes but they'll have to be tested when they go back. Then they will start with agility work and then there's going to have to be small games like a mini pre-season. "We've never seen anything like this before, for me it's sad. But there's no other way around it. For the normal footballer who likes routine they don't know what they're going to do when they get back. That's the difficulty for any professional athlete, not knowing what's going to happen." Richardson has worked with players from the top to the bottom of the football pyramid and is concerned about the potential for injury once the leagues do restart.
 "What we're looking at now with the work the players are doing is gym-based and fitness but nothing replicates match sharpness, and players lose that quite quickly. Probably over a period of two to three weeks when it starts to drop off," he explained. "The concern will be when they get back that there's potential for a lot of injuries. If you look at a team like Liverpool, who play with a high press, that requires a lot of change in direction, change of speed, linear and lateral type running. That's something they're not getting in their back garden and fitness levels can drop off very quickly." Instagram has given fans an insight into how players are trying to maintain their fitness levels at home in their private pools and personal gyms and Richardson has been contacted by a number of players across the leagues who have wanted personal training sessions. But, with restrictions how they are at the moment it's a risk the 47-year-old cannot take. "I've had a lot of requests to go to players' homes but I need to be careful of that because I don't know who they've been in contact with. It's a tricky situation, you want to help but everyone needs to be careful." For now the players are doing what they can in their homes but, even if the league does resume it will take a long while before things go back to normal.

| Posted: 23 Mar 2020 11:46 PM PDT  Quarantine, self-isolation and governmental stay-at-home orders are forcing many people to make dramatic changes to their lives, but what's becoming the new normal doesn't faze "NCIS" alum Pauley Perrette. "I am a notorious recluse. And I'm also a notorious germophobe," says Perrette, who stars in upcoming CBS sitcom "Broke" (8:30 p.m., April 2). "I'm always making excuses when I don't want to go anywhere, so now I don't have to. I'm suddenly cool for the first time ever." So California's recent stay-at-home order, one of a number of restrictions affecting millions of Americans across the country, doesn't require much adjustment to her daily routine. Perrette, who became friends with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti years ago as part of her non-profit work, offered him a list of tips titled, "How to survive being a recluse." "I'm a recluse. Eric's not. He's a really social guy," she says of the mayor, who has instituted strict limitations in Los Angeles. "He texted, 'Do you have any advice for people who are having to be you right now?' I did. I told him I could teach a master class." While everyone has their own specific stay-at-home situation, Perrette, 50, sees it as an opportunity to learn things and develop new skills. Here are her seven tips for making the most of enforced domesticity from the "single mother of three rescue dogs and four Venus flytraps." 1. Foster a pet"I have a houseful of dogs, which helps. It helps if you have a pet," says Perrette, an animal-rescue activist whose three dogs are named Rosie, Grace and Bug. "There are are lot of rescue organizations, from national Petfinder to your local rescues. Now is a really fantastic time to foster a dog. You don't have to take on the full commitment of adopting. You just take a critter into your house and get them used to being part of a family (and) being part of a house setting. When the dog – or the cat – eventually finds its forever home, they're already used to that setting." 2. Nurture your green thumb"I love to plant things," Perrette says. "I have an Amaryllis that I was tweeting about. They bloom and it's so beautiful and then they go dormant and come back. This is year two. His name is She and my four Venus flytraps are Audrey 1, Audrey 2, Audrey 3 and Steve," a nod to "Little Shop of Horrors." "I'm working on them right now. It's really interesting and fun to do. I'm starting bonsai trees. We'll see how that goes. And the next adventure is cactus," she says. "I have a yard, but a lot of these things can grow inside." 3. Learn a new skill on YouTube"YouTube is crazy, but it's awesome. And it's super-informative," Perrette says of the site's many how-to videos. "You could come out of quarantine and know how to play the guitar (or) knit a sweater. You could just say, 'I'm going to use this time alone to come out of this knowing a whole new skill.'" 4. Reconnect with an old skill: using the telephoneIn our technologically advanced age, telephone communications often take a back seat to digital conversations. But there's something important about hearing a human voice. So make a phone call! "Actually call people and talk to them," she says. 5. Catch up on readingTake a second look at the selections that may be gathering dust on your bookshelf. "Books! Our old friends! I constantly read books," she says. 6. Exercise in placePerrette says you can turn your home into your own fitness center. "Learn the simple art of using your own body weight to work out. There's no need to go to a gym. Push-ups, sit-ups, squats, wall presses, running up and down stairs. Everything you need to get in shape, you have," she says. There are plenty of videos for that, too. 7. Watch TV"I love television. That's my favorite thing to do. And I watch network TV. I don't want to watch any of the other stuff," she says. "I love sitcoms. I love 'Survivor,' 'The Amazing Race,' 'Big Brother.' I know all these shows are on CBS but that is not a plug. … My very favorite show is 'The People's Court' with Judge Marilyn Milan. She's my spirit animal!"

| The U.S. Needs China’s Masks, as Acrimony Grows - The New York Times Posted: 23 Mar 2020 11:37 PM PDT  SHANGHAI — American front-line medical personnel are running desperately short of masks and protective equipment as they battle the coronavirus outbreak. China, already the world's largest producer of such gear by far, has ramped up factory output and is now signaling that it wants to help. Reaching deals won't be easy. Increasingly acrimonious relations between Washington and Beijing are complicating efforts to get Chinese-made masks to American clinics and hospitals. A breakdown over the last few days in the global business of moving goods by air around the world will make it costly and difficult as well. At heart, the two countries, which only recently reached a truce in President Trump's trade war, have some similar problems. Both face harsh questions over their missteps in responding to the outbreak. Washington and Beijing make handy foils for each other — and essential protective gear could get caught in the middle unless they reach an understanding. The Trump administration is signaling it isn't too proud to buy Chinese masks, gowns, goggles and other equipment. At the same time, said Peter Navarro, a senior Trump administration trade official, it will object to any Chinese effort to turn deliveries into fodder for propaganda that would bolster China's image at home and abroad. "My job at the White House right now is to help find whatever the American people need and buy it from wherever we can, and if we need to send a plane to go get it, we'll get that done using the full force of government and private enterprise," Mr. Navarro said in an interview. "If China or any other country has some masks, gloves or other products we need for the American people, we welcome that with open arms," he said. "What we don't need is some kind of propaganda exercise during a crisis that the actions of the Chinese Communist Party have made far more serious than it otherwise would have been." American officials have estimated that the country would need 3.5 billion masks to cope with a yearlong pandemic. Local health officials in the United States say nurses, doctors and other responders face hazards to their own health as infections mount. China has what they need. Beijing undertook an enormous national mobilization to respond to its outbreak and now produces 116 million masks a day, or about 12 times what it made before. Most are disposable surgical masks, not the N95 respirators that health care professionals need. But a second wave of production of N95 respirators is starting to come onto the market, respirator and mask traders said. "Factories are producing around the clock," said Ida Zhang, the marketing director at Dongguan Witop International Trade, a respirators and masks trading firm in Dongguan, China. Beijing forced personal protection equipment producers, including factories that made gear on behalf of Western companies, to sell every unit they made to the government when the epidemic was at its worst in China from late January through February. But Chinese officials have said they did not formally ban exports, and a growing number of Chinese factories are cautiously starting to ship their products overseas. The Chinese government wants to work with the United States if the United States can provide the airfreight, people close to both sides of the talks said, after insisting on anonymity because of the acrimony that has enveloped bilateral relations. Beijing is quietly encouraging Chinese provinces, cities and companies to negotiate deals directly with state and local governments and companies in the United States. China has already begun engaging in "face mask diplomacy," making sizable shipments to Italy, South Korea and the Philippines while promising or providing humanitarian assistance from Japan to Iraq and from Peru to Spain. A leading entrepreneur in China, Jack Ma, offered to donate one million masks and 500,000 tests to the United States. But while officials on both sides talk about striking deals, the two governments in public are sharpening their attacks. The Trump administration is angry about China's failure to share information about its own epidemic, as well as its role in propagating a conspiracy theory that the virus was started by the American military. The Chinese government is deeply upset about the Trump administration's efforts in recent days to label the newly emerged coronavirus as a "Chinese virus," and leery of being perceived by the Chinese public as too eager to help the United States at a time of bilateral tensions. President Trump has repeatedly used "Chinese virus," ignoring criticisms that the term is racist and has helped fuel hate crimes in the United States. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has accused China of allowing infected citizens to spread the disease around the world. On Friday, he implied that China had still not shared all of its information about the virus. "This is not about retribution," Mr. Pompeo said. "We need to make sure that even today the data sets that are available to every country, including data sets that are available to the Chinese Communist Party, are made available to the whole world. It's an imperative to keep people safe." Hua Chunying, the Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman, hit back at Mr. Pompeo on Twitter on Friday, noting that the World Health Organization had praised China's measures. "Stop lying through your teeth!" she wrote, using a level of invective increasingly prevalent in the bilateral relationship. "As W.H.O. experts said, China's efforts averted hundreds of thousands of infection cases." China's statements have also alluded to its ability to make the masks the United States needs. "If anyone thinks made-in-China products are poisonous, please don't use the face masks made in China, please don't use protection uniforms made in China, please don't use breathing machines made in China, so you won't get infected," said Geng Shuang, a Foreign Ministry spokesman, at a news briefing on Friday. Despite the harsh language, the two sides have reasons to cooperate. The Trump administration could face a severe backlash if its attacks on China hold back needed supplies. China faces a rising number of infections from people returning from overseas as well as a possible second wave of infections as people return to offices and factories. The two countries already are working together behind the scenes. Michael Pillsbury, a senior fellow at the Hudson Institute who advises the Trump administration on China, pointed to efforts underway by the American biotechnology companies Inovio Pharmaceuticals, GeoVax and Gilead Sciences to develop a coronavirus treatment in China, some in partnership with Chinese companies. The problems go beyond the political. Global carriers like United Airlines and Cathay Pacific have slashed international flights to near zero as countries bolster their borders. About half the world's air cargo traveled last year in the bellies of passenger planes, said John Peyton Burnett, the managing director of TAC Index, an air cargo pricing data company in Hong Kong. Now the world's passenger airlines are shutting down much of their networks. Cathay Pacific, the dominant air carrier in Hong Kong and one of the largest airlines across the Pacific, announced late Friday afternoon that it was canceling 96 percent of its passenger services in April and May. Yet so acute is the need for airfreight capacity that the airline said it would continue to operate some of its passenger planes just to use the cargo capacity in their bellies, while leaving the seats empty. The cost per pound across the Pacific has tripled in the last few days as airlines have shut down most of their international passenger flights, according to freight agents. Shipping now costs considerably more than the masks themselves. "It's like nothing we've ever heard of, or seen happen," said Jia Qing, a freight agent at Janco International Freight in Shanghai. "In normal times the price would change once every year, and now it's changing three times a day." Keith Bradsher reported from Shanghai, and Ana Swanson from Washington.

| Blame game escalates between US and China over coronavirus disinformation - CNN Posted: 23 Mar 2020 11:07 PM PDT Trump and senior members of the administration have attempted to brand the outbreak as the result of a "Chinese virus" as they ramp up accusations that Beijing failed to identify, stop or warn about the virus early on. The administration has also implemented a coordinated messaging campaign which includes talking points sent out by the National Security Council pushing US officials to highlight China's alleged "coverup" and subsequent disinformation campaign, CNN has learned. Still, it remains unclear if the administration has a comprehensive strategy in place to counter Beijing's disinformation push as Chinese officials continue to overtly spread false and misleading information about the virus with little recourse beyond strongly worded statements from US officials. Trading jabsTensions have been brewing for weeks between Washington and Beijing over who is to blame for the outbreak. China continues to deny that the virus originated there while top US officials, including Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, have pointed the finger directly at Beijing. US officials have long been skeptical about information coming from China, including the number of cases it has publicly reported, but the diplomatic row between the two countries has escalated in recent days. Despite his initial praise for Chinese President Xi Jinping, Trump has struck a more critical tone of late regarding Beijing's handling of the outbreak and efforts to shift blame onto the US.  "I wish they could have told us earlier about what was going on inside. We didn't know about it until it started coming out publicly, but I wish they could have told us earlier about it because we could have come up with a solution," he said Saturday during a White House briefing. Beijing did not hesitate to fire back. China's Foreign Ministry spokesperson said Monday that the US is attempting to defame the Chinese government, shift responsibility and find a scapegoat, calling claims by American officials that the virus originated in the Wuhan province "immoral and irresponsible." "I think many people, when the pandemic, first started, thought, this is an opportunity for global cooperation," Dr. Matthew Kroenig, a former Defense Department and CIA official who now works as a professor at Georgetown University, told CNN. "What we've seen instead is that it's just become a new arena for this great power rivalry to play out," he said, adding that autocratic regimes, and China in particular, are using disinformation to try to advance other geopolitical goals, namely positioning itself as a responsible global leader. The ongoing war of words has been fueled by allegations from top administration officials that China is actively spreading disinformation about the virus' origins in an effort to cast blame on the US, and other nations, for the current global pandemic.  Earlier this month, China's ambassador in Washington was summoned to the State Department over a tweet from Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Lijian Zhoa amplifying a growing conspiracy theory that the coronavirus did not originate China and may have been brought there by the US Army. "When you have the Chinese ambassador and the foreign minister saying through their propaganda machine that the United States military somehow concocted this virus and spread it in China, it's absolutely false," Texas Rep. Michael McCaul, the top Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, told CNN in an interview Monday. "Everybody knows the truth here, and the truth needs to come out. And they don't want the truth to come out. That's why they're starting this disinformation campaign," he said. Sounding the alarmUS officials have been closely monitoring China's disinformation efforts and attempted to push back on the increasing number of false claims from Chinese officials over the last month. Yet China's disinformation campaign is ongoing, US officials warn, pointing to comments that were made on Sunday by Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Lijian Zhoa in which he suggested the virus started in the US dating back to September 2019 and that those with the flu at that time were misdiagnosed. In response, the Trump administration has implemented a coordinated messaging campaign which includes talking points sent out by the National Security Council pushing US officials to highlight China's alleged "coverup" and subsequent disinformation campaign, CNN has learned.  The NSC document containing coordinated talking points, which an administration official told CNN includes input from several agencies, formally acknowledges that more needs to be done to fight Chinese disinformation, especially claims that the US is the actual source of the virus, according to two State Department officials who have seen the cable. It also echoes concerns that have been repeatedly raised by Pompeo in recent weeks as he and other top administration officials have tried to sound the alarm about Chinese disinformation related to coronavirus. "There's been some discussion about China and what they knew and when they knew it. And I've been very critical. We need to know immediately. The world is entitled to know. The Chinese government was the first to know of this risk to the world," the top US diplomat said during Friday's White House briefing. Pompeo, along with other Trump allies that include incoming chief of staff Mark Meadows and Arkansas Republican Sen. Tom Cotton, have also attempted to reinforce the idea that the virus originated in China by publicly referring to it as the "Wuhan virus" or "China virus." That characterization has also been recently adopted by Trump himself despite push-back from health officials who say the description is misleading and xenophobic. Last week, a photographer spotted Trump changing the word "corona" to "Chinese" in his prepared remarks. Trump's lingering trade concernsFor weeks, several Trump advisers have been urging the President to start taking a harder line on China over its handling of the outbreak, making the case that Trump should cast Beijing as responsible for the spread rather than continue to praise Xi's efforts, according to two sources familiar. Initially, Trump refrained from publicly criticizing China despite the advice of key allies in Congress and inside the administration, including Meadows, though he did move to ban travel from China at the encouragement of some Republicans, including Cotton. "Part of the President's slow response is that he's going into an election year, the economy was doing well, and he wanted have this portrayed sense that he was in control and everything was going fine. At a certain point, it became clear that it wasn't," according to Kroenig. "I understand the initial instinct to not want to admit there is a problem but I think in this case, it backfired," he added, noting that Trump's initial inclination was to praise China and tout his relationship with Xi, as he's done in the past. One source close to the White House told CNN earlier this month that Trump had privately expressed anger toward China but had not yet reached the point of lashing out at Beijing publicly due to concerns that doing so could negatively impact trade talks between the two countries.  But Trump has appeared to change his tone in recent days, most notably by joining Meadows and other top officials in characterizing the outbreak as a "Chinese virus," a shift one Republican aide told CNN was likely prompted by Beijing's disinformation campaign aimed at shifting blame onto the US, and by default, Trump himself. "I think he does enjoy a relationship with President Xi. He wants the trade, you know, the trade deal to work. At the same time, he recognizes where this virus came from," McCaul said about Trump. "You know I don't call it the Chines virus. I call it the coronavirus or Covid-19. But the fact remains, where did this come from? It came out of the wildlife markets in Wuhan, and it spread beyond control outside of China. For nearly two months, there were many things they could've done to contain the virus, and they failed to do that. And I think they need to be held accountable," the Texas Republican added. And while the administration is implementing a coordinated messaging campaign aimed at criticizing China for a coronavirus "coverup," Trump's comments Sunday during a task force briefing indicate that he may still be trying to walk a careful line in his criticism of Beijing. When asked about China, Trump said he was not happy with China but then turned and touted the amount of US agricultural products Beijing continues to purchase amid the outbreak. Asked about the difference between Trump's rhetoric and that of several top advisers, one US official noted that the President has often tried to employ a "good cop, bad cop," strategy in dealing with foreign countries and that appears to be the case with regards to coronavirus. However, Kroenig told CNN that the gap between Trump and his top advisers is "pretty consistent with what we've seen in the administration over the past couple of years with a fairly traditional in some ways, administration and then a very unconventional president at the top." "The administration seems to be on board with the strategy of pushing back against ... Chinese claims whereas the President still seems to have his head in a somewhat different space and is looking for a cooperation with these major autocratic powers," he said.

| British writer Pat Condell slams China on Coronavirus, calls it enemy of humanity - WION Posted: 23 Mar 2020 10:37 PM PDT  A British writer and stand-up comedian Pat Condell has criticised China and reprimanded its government and the ruling Communist Party for the Covid-19 outbreak that has severely affected the life and economy world over. He said that the ruling Communist Party didn't act like a responsible government and was too late to contain it. "When it first emerged in the city of Wuhan, a responsible government would have dealt with it decisively. But, the Chinese Communist Party covered it up to save face, until it was too late to contain it," he said in a video posted on his Youtube channel. Blaming the communist govt for the arrest and death of China's coronavirus whistleblower he said "They arrested (those) who talked about it. They refused all offers of outside help because saving face is more important to them than saving lives. The Chinese Communist Party is directly responsible for every death from the deadly Wuhan virus that they have inflicted on the world." According to reports whistleblowers who tried to warn Chinese officials about the deadly outbreak at the initial stage at Wuhan's live animal market were arrested for "spreading rumours". "So, it seems that President Xi Jinping of China knew about the Wuhan Coronavirus weeks before he did anything about it. Maybe he was busy with important things than human life. Maybe he has crossword to finish, who knows? "Let's not rush to judgement. As most people know by now, the Chinese communist party has infected the world with the deadly virus, the Wuhan coronavirus, which has killed thousands of people and caused unprecedented worldwide panic and lockdown that will likely devastate the global economy," Condell added. The stand-up comedian said, "There have always been enemies of the Chinese people. Now they are enemies of all humanity. They knew the world would be crippled by this virus when they covered it up. But, they lied, they lied and they are still lying now". He also commented on the situation of Uighurs in China and said that "Not that it matters with socialism. Chinese characteristics, Russian characteristics. Whatsoever, sooner or later people end up in concentration camps, like (how) the millions of Muslims in China right now (are) incarcerated in what they call re-education centres, where they are forced to eat pork and drink alcohol as if that's going to sort them out."

| The Viral Reminder - Santa Barbara Independent Posted: 23 Mar 2020 09:33 PM PDT With some regularity, events happen that wake us up to the crude reality of our collective fragility. Now it's a new virus. Seven decades ago, it was the ideological viruses of nationalism, extremism, and racism, which mutated into a fierce strain of intolerance that killed tens of millions of us. That was our most recent wake-up call to our inescapable collective weakness, when the science we adamantly touted as our ticket to a glossy future turned its back against us, producing increasingly sophisticated death machines, when the old trick of invading others excused by our racial or mental superiority backfired in its most tremendous scale yet. The pile of forgotten lessons has been growing ever since. Our collective oblivion of the dangers of nationalism and intolerance, coupled with a renascent belief in progress whose most aggravated victim is the very nature that sustains us, has brought back a conducive scenario for another spree of mindless absurdity: reckless leaders, unrestrained economic speculation, a shrinking pool of natural resources, debilitation of global regulating bodies, nuclear heads in the hands of extremist regimes, and indifference — lots of it. Viruses have their own cycles which, apparently, have little to do with the cycles of human societies. Collective fear of a new virus, the containment without precedent of daily lives at a global scale, will serve as an effective reminder of our shared fragility and, hopefully, will flatten the curve of the cycle of our collective absurdity.

| Trump Considers Reopening Economy, Over Health Experts’ Objections - The New York Times Posted: 23 Mar 2020 08:37 PM PDT  WASHINGTON — As the United States entered Week 2 of trying to contain the spread of the coronavirus by shuttering large swaths of the economy, President Trump, Wall Street executives and many conservative economists began questioning whether the government had gone too far and should instead lift restrictions that are already inflicting deep pain on workers and businesses. Consensus continues to grow among government leaders and health officials that the best way to defeat the virus is to order nonessential businesses to close and residents to confine themselves at home. Britain, after initially resisting such measures, essentially locked down its economy on Monday, as did the governors of Virginia, Michigan and Oregon. More than 100 million Americans will soon be subject to stay-at-home orders. Relaxing those restrictions could significantly increase the death toll from the virus, public health officials warn. Many economists say there is no positive trade-off — resuming normal activity prematurely would only strain hospitals and result in even more deaths, while exacerbating a recession that has most likely already arrived. The economic shutdown is causing damage that is only beginning to appear in official data. Morgan Stanley researchers said on Monday that they now expected the economy to shrink by an annualized rate of 30 percent in the second quarter of this year, and the unemployment rate to jump to nearly 13 percent. Both would be records, in modern economic statistics. Officials have said the federal government's initial 15-day period for social distancing is vital to slowing the spread of the virus, which has already infected more than 40,000 people in the United States. But Mr. Trump and a chorus of conservative voices have begun to suggest that the shock to the economy could hurt the country more than deaths from the virus. On Monday, Mr. Trump said his administration would reassess whether to keep the economy shuttered after the initial 15-day period ends next Monday, saying it could extend another week and that certain parts of the country could reopen sooner than others, depending on the extent of infections. "Our country wasn't built to be shut down," Mr. Trump said during a briefing at the White House. "America will, again, and soon, be open for business. Very soon. A lot sooner than three or four months that somebody was suggesting. Lot sooner. We cannot let the cure be worse than the problem itself." Similar views are emanating from parts of corporate America, where companies are struggling with a shutdown that has emptied hotels, airplanes, malls and restaurants and sent the stock market tumbling so fast that automatic circuit breakers to halt trading have been tripped repeatedly. Stocks have collapsed about 34 percent since the coronavirus spread globally — the steepest plunge in decades — erasing three years of gains under Mr. Trump. Lloyd Blankfein, the former chief executive of Goldman Sachs, wrote on Twitter that "crushing the economy" had downsides and suggested that "within a very few weeks let those with a lower risk to the disease return to work." Even Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo of New York, whose state has emerged as the epicenter of the outbreak in the United States, has begun publicly floating the notion that, at some point, states will need to restart economic activity and debating how that should unfold. "You can't stop the economy forever," Mr. Cuomo said in a news conference on Monday. "So we have to start to think about does everyone stay out of work? Should young people go back to work sooner? Can we test for those who had the virus, resolved, and are now immune and can they start to go back to work?" Any push to loosen the new limits on commerce and movement would contradict the consensus advice of public health officials, risking a surge in infections and deaths from the virus. Many economists warn that abruptly reopening the economy could backfire, overwhelming an already stressed health care system, sowing uncertainty among consumers, and ultimately dealing deeper, longer-lasting damage to growth. The recent rise of cases in Hong Kong, after there had been an easing of the spread of the virus, is something of an object lesson about how ending strict measures too soon can have dangerous consequences. Yet places like China, which took the idea of lockdown to the extreme, have managed to flatten the curve. "You can't call off the best weapon we have, which is social isolation, even out of economic desperation, unless you're willing to be responsible for a mountain of deaths," said Arthur Caplan, a professor of bioethics at NYU Langone Medical Center. "Thirty days makes more sense than 15 days. Can't we try to put people's lives first for at least a month?" For the last four days, some White House officials, including those working for Vice President Mike Pence, who leads the coronavirus task force, have been raising questions about when the government should start easing restrictions. Among the options being discussed are narrowing restrictions on economic activity to target specific age groups or locations, as well as increasing the numbers of people who can be together in groups, said one official, who cautioned that the discussions were preliminary. Health officials inside the administration have mostly opposed that idea, including Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, an infectious diseases expert and a member of the White House coronavirus task force, who has said in interviews that he believes it will be "at least" several more weeks until people can start going about their lives in a more normal fashion. Dr. Deborah L. Birx, the White House coronavirus response coordinator, said the United States had learned from other countries like China and South Korea, which were able to control the spread of the virus through strict measures and widespread testing. "Those were eight- to 10-week curves," she said on Monday, adding that "each state and each hot spot in the United States is going to be its own curve because the seeds came in at different times." Dr. Birx added that the response "has to be very tailored geographically and it may have to be tailored by age group, really understanding who's at the greatest risk and understanding how to protect them." Other advisers, including members of Mr. Trump's economic team, have said repeatedly in recent months that the virus does not itself pose an extraordinary threat to Americans' lives or the economy, likening it to a common flu season. Some advisers believe the White House overreacted to criticism of Mr. Trump's muted actions to deal with the emerging pandemic and gave health experts too large a sway in policymaking. On Monday, Mr. Trump echoed those concerns, saying that things like the flu or car accidents posed as much of a threat to Americans as the coronavirus and that the response to those was far less draconian. "We have a very active flu season, more active than most. It's looking like it's heading to 50,000 or more deaths," he said, adding: "That's a lot. And you look at automobile accidents, which are far greater than any numbers we're talking about. That doesn't mean we're going to tell everybody no more driving of cars. So we have to do things to get our country open." Mr. Trump has watched as a record economic expansion and booming stock market that served as the basis of his re-election campaign evaporated in a matter of weeks. The president became engaged with the discussion on Sunday evening, after watching television reports and hearing from various business officials and outside advisers who were agitating for an end to the shutdown. Casey Mulligan, a University of Chicago professor who served as chief economist for Mr. Trump's Council of Economic Advisers, said on Monday that efforts to shut down economic activity to slow the virus would be more damaging than doing nothing at all. He suggested a middle ground, one that weighs the costs and benefits of saving additional lives. "It's a little bit like, when you discover sex can be dangerous, you don't come out and say, there should be no more sex," Mr. Mulligan said. "You should give people guidance on how to have sex less dangerously." Many other economists say the restrictions in activity now are helping the economy in the long run, by beginning to suppress the infection rate. "The idea that there's a trade-off between health and economics right now is likely badly mistaken," said Jason Furman of Harvard University, a former chairman of the Council of Economic Advisers under President Barack Obama. "The thing damaging our economy is a virus. Everyone who is trying to stop that virus is working to limit the damage it does to our economy and help our eventual rebound. The choice may well be taking pretty extreme steps now or taking very extreme steps later." Mr. Furman and other economists have pushed Mr. Trump and Congress to ease the economic pain by offering trillions of dollars in government assistance to affected workers and businesses. As lawmakers tried to negotiate an agreement on such a bill Monday, an influential business lobbying group, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, said it supported restrictions on the economy to slow the virus. "Our view is, when it comes to how you contain the virus, you do everything the public health professionals say to contain the virus," said Neil Bradley, the chamber's executive vice president and chief policy officer. The president's suggestion that the response may be an overreaction plays into doubts already held by some Americans suffering the economic consequences. Among the self-quarantined, some have questioned the purpose of isolating themselves if the virus is already circulating widely. Students sent home from college have wondered whether they are more likely to infect higher-risk older adults at home. Dan Patrick, Texas' lieutenant governor, said Monday on Fox News that he was in the "high-risk pool" but would be willing to risk his life to preserve the country for his children and grandchildren. "We are going to be in a total collapse, recession, depression, collapse in our society," said Mr. Patrick, who turns 70 next week. "If this goes on another several months, there won't be any jobs to come back to for many people." But public health officials stress that there would be consequences to ending the measures too quickly. In a tweet on Monday morning, Thomas P. Bossert, the former homeland security adviser who for weeks has been vocal about the need for the U.S. government to take stricter measures, said: "Sadly, the numbers now suggest the U.S. is poised to take the lead in #coronavirus cases. It's reasonable to plan for the US to top the list of countries with the most cases in approximately 1 week. This does NOT make social intervention futile. It makes it imperative!" Mr. Trump's interest in potentially easing some of the restrictions met with pushback from one of his close allies, Senator Lindsey Graham, Republican of South Carolina, who himself self-quarantined after a potential exposure. "President Trump's best decision was stopping travel from China early on," Mr. Graham tweeted on Monday. "I hope we will not undercut that decision by suggesting we back off aggressive containment policies within the United States." Health officials remain largely united in defense of sustaining the restrictions. "There is a way to think through how and when to start reopening our economy and society, and it's important to get this right," said Dr. Thomas R. Frieden, a former director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Dr. Tom Inglesby, the director of the Center for Health Security at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, pointed to the experience of countries like Italy, which did not institute aggressive measures to stop the spread of the virus and saw infection rates and deaths soar as a result. The United States will need "a couple weeks" to see positive effects from its measures, Dr. Inglesby said, and abandoning them would mean "patients will get sick in extraordinary numbers all over the country, far beyond what the U.S. health care system will bear."

| Coronavirus pandemic is accelerating as cases eclipse 350,000, WHO says - CNBC Posted: 23 Mar 2020 07:37 PM PDT  World Health Organization (WHO) Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus gestures during a daily press briefing on COVID-19 virus at the WHO headquaters on March 2, 2020 in Geneva. Fabrice Coffrini | AFP | Getty Images The coronavirus pandemic that's spread to nearly every country in the world is picking up pace, the World Health Organization said Monday, as global cases eclipsed 350,000 and deaths soared past 15,000. "The pandemic is accelerating," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said at a press briefing from the organization's Geneva headquarters. "It took 67 days from the first reported case to reach 100,000 cases, 11 days for second 100,000 cases, and just four days for the third 100,000 cases." Tedros said he'll be asking the G20, the international group of government and central bank leaders, to ramp up production of personal protective equipment for doctors and nurses and to avoid placing export bans on the life-saving gear. WHO had already been asking suppliers of protective gear to prioritize sending the equipment to regions most affected by the virus and discouraged stockpiling of protective gear by the general public. "We need unity among the G20 countries who have more than 80% of the global GDP," he said. "If we don't prioritize protecting health workers, many people will die because the health worker who could have saved their lives is sick." World health officials estimate more than 26 million health-care workers may end up treating COVID-19 patients. On Friday, WHO officials warned the outbreak could overwhelm health systems around the world in just a few weeks. "Take one look at what's happening in some health systems around the world. Look at the intensive care units completely overwhelmed. Doctors and nurses utterly exhausted," Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO's emergencies program, said Friday. "This is not normal. This isn't just a bad flu season." The virus is transmitted through droplets, or little bits of liquid, mostly through sneezing or coughing. WHO has said it is are aware of several studies in a number of countries looking at the different environmental conditions that COVID-19 can persist. Scientists are specifically looking at how humidity, temperature and ultraviolet lighting affects the disease as well as how long it lives on different surfaces, including steel, they said. Last week, health officials said parents need to prepare their kids to guard against COVID-19 after a new study showed that babies and very young children can sometimes develop severe symptoms. The new study, which was published online in the journal Pediatrics, looked at 2,143 cases of children with confirmed or suspected COVID-19 that were reported to the Chinese Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between Jan. 16 and Feb. 8. More than 90% of the cases were asymptomatic, mild or moderate cases. However, nearly 6% of the children's cases were severe or critical, compared with 18.5% for adults. "What we need to prepare for is the possibility that children can also experience severe disease," Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said on Wednesday.

| Having Arsenal's Aubameyang at Liverpool 'a great problem' - Paul Cook - Goal.com Posted: 23 Mar 2020 06:31 PM PDT  Wigan Athletic boss Paul Cook believes there will be a serious squad selection dilemma should Arsenal forward Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang join Liverpool. The Gabon international has been heavily linked with a move away from the Emirates Stadium with just over a year left on his contract. If he does not sign a new contract, Arsenal are likely to sell him in the next transfer window or risk losing him for free. Aubameyang has been linked with clubs like Barcelona, Real Madrid and Manchester United. Should the 30-year-old opt for Anfield, he will have to contend with the star trio of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane, who have a combined 49 competitive goals between them this season. "I think Aubameyang has got 16 goals this year in a year that Arsenal, obviously they are in a good vein of form at the minute, but you wouldn't say it's one of Arsenal's best years by any stretch of the imagination," Cook told Sky Sports. "I think Aubameyang would certainly score goals in any football team. The problem you get when you get players like that is that they expect to play. "Who would you leave out? Have you got that squad rotation? I think I'd leave that to Jurgen [Klopp] to sort out. It's a great problem to have." Aubameyang has 20 goals in 32 competitive appearances for Arsenal this season.

| Trump says businesses could reopen — soon — while fighting coronavirus - CNBC Posted: 23 Mar 2020 06:07 PM PDT  President Donald Trump suggested Monday that he wants to urge businesses to reopen — sooner rather than later — while the government works to fight the coronavirus pandemic. "At some point we're going to open up our country, and it will be fairly soon," Trump said during an evening press briefing on the fast-spreading virus. Asked whether "soon" could be a matter of weeks or of months, Trump replied, "I'm not looking at months." The daily briefing at the White House came as U.S. officials at every level of government scrambled to rein in the spread of the coronavirus by implementing draconian emergency measures that threaten to cripple the economy. Some administration officials have painted a harrowing portrait of the spread of COVID-19 in U.S. "hot spots" —especially New York City. Deborah Birx, a member of Trump's coronavirus task force, said at the briefing that data show the New York metro area has an "attack rate" five times higher than other areas of the country. Birx would not directly say if she approved of Trump's suggested plans to "reopen the country" when she was asked by a reporter. "We're pulling all of the data pieces in now ... I will never speculate on data. I will have to see the data to really understand it," Birx said. But Trump maintained that "we can do two things at one time." He suggested that some states, such as Nebraska, with low numbers of confirmed coronavirus cases might be able to ease off their restrictions more quickly. The president also seemed to try to play down the threat of the virus, which on Monday topped 43,000 cases and more than 500 deaths in the U.S. He said his administration has done "really well" in handling the outbreak and noted that other things, such as the flu and car accidents, produce higher death rates every year without derailing society. "You look at automobile accidents, which are far greater than what we're talking about," Trump said. "It doesn't mean we're talking about telling people not to drive cars." Fears about the impact of the virus — and the consequences of the extreme measures being implemented to combat it — have sent stocks drastically lower over the past month. The Dow Jones industrial average, for instance, closed Monday at its lowest level since November 2016, when Trump was elected president. Some state leaders have forced nonessential businesses to shut down, prohibited large gatherings and ordered residents to stay in their homes. The White House issued a list of guidelines earlier this month for Americans to follow for 15 days, which call on people to sharply limit their normal behaviors when it comes to eating out, shopping and socializing. On Sunday night, Trump tweeted, in all caps, that "at the end of the 15 day period, we will make a decision as to which way we want to go!" The prescriptions in the White House guidelines are meant to promote so-called social distancing practices that can slow or prevent transmission of the disease — but are likely to have dire consequences for markets, employers and workers. "We can't have the cure be worse than the problem," Trump said at the presser. The president's own business empire also stands to suffer from the virus, as well: Mar-a-Lago, Trump's oceanside resort in Palm Beach, Fla., temporarily shuttered its doors in the peak of its season out of coronavirus concerns. Meanwhile, lawmakers on Capitol Hill have passed multiple bills providing emergency funds to combat the spread of the disease and soften the blow for the millions of affected Americans. But the largest stimulus package, which is expected to cost well over $1 trillion, has hit roadblocks in Congress as Republicans and Democrats lock horns over what should be included. That massive funding bill again failed a key procedural vote in the Senate on Monday. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said her caucus would unveil a $2.5 trillion-plus legislative package that includes direct payments to individuals of $1,500 and up to $7,500 for a family of five.

| What Is Goal Forward Holdings's (HKG:1854) P/E Ratio After Its Share Price Tanked? - Yahoo Finance Posted: 23 Mar 2020 05:31 PM PDT  Unfortunately for some shareholders, the Goal Forward Holdings (HKG:1854) share price has dived 34% in the last thirty days. Given the 69% drop over the last year, some shareholders might be worried that they have become bagholders. For those wondering, a bagholder is someone who keeps holding a losing stock indefinitely, without taking the time to consider its prospects carefully, going forward. Assuming nothing else has changed, a lower share price makes a stock more attractive to potential buyers. In the long term, share prices tend to follow earnings per share, but in the short term prices bounce around in response to short term factors (which are not always obvious). The implication here is that long term investors have an opportunity when expectations of a company are too low. One way to gauge market expectations of a stock is to look at its Price to Earnings Ratio (PE Ratio). A high P/E ratio means that investors have a high expectation about future growth, while a low P/E ratio means they have low expectations about future growth. Check out our latest analysis for Goal Forward Holdings How Does Goal Forward Holdings's P/E Ratio Compare To Its Peers?Goal Forward Holdings's P/E of 13.32 indicates relatively low sentiment towards the stock. We can see in the image below that the average P/E (18.2) for companies in the consumer retailing industry is higher than Goal Forward Holdings's P/E.  SEHK:1854 Price Estimation Relative to Market, March 23rd 2020 This suggests that market participants think Goal Forward Holdings will underperform other companies in its industry. While current expectations are low, the stock could be undervalued if the situation is better than the market assumes. If you consider the stock interesting, further research is recommended. For example, I often monitor director buying and selling. How Growth Rates Impact P/E RatiosProbably the most important factor in determining what P/E a company trades on is the earnings growth. Earnings growth means that in the future the 'E' will be higher. That means even if the current P/E is high, it will reduce over time if the share price stays flat. And as that P/E ratio drops, the company will look cheap, unless its share price increases. Goal Forward Holdings shrunk earnings per share by 60% over the last year. But it has grown its earnings per share by 34% per year over the last three years. A Limitation: P/E Ratios Ignore Debt and Cash In The BankThe 'Price' in P/E reflects the market capitalization of the company. So it won't reflect the advantage of cash, or disadvantage of debt. The exact same company would hypothetically deserve a higher P/E ratio if it had a strong balance sheet, than if it had a weak one with lots of debt, because a cashed up company can spend on growth. Such spending might be good or bad, overall, but the key point here is that you need to look at debt to understand the P/E ratio in context. How Does Goal Forward Holdings's Debt Impact Its P/E Ratio?Goal Forward Holdings has net debt worth just 1.6% of its market capitalization. The market might award it a higher P/E ratio if it had net cash, but its unlikely this low level of net borrowing is having a big impact on the P/E multiple. The Bottom Line On Goal Forward Holdings's P/E RatioGoal Forward Holdings's P/E is 13.3 which is above average (8.6) in its market. With some debt but no EPS growth last year, the market has high expectations of future profits. What can be absolutely certain is that the market has become significantly less optimistic about Goal Forward Holdings over the last month, with the P/E ratio falling from 20.1 back then to 13.3 today. For those who prefer to invest with the flow of momentum, that might be a bad sign, but for a contrarian, it may signal opportunity. When the market is wrong about a stock, it gives savvy investors an opportunity. If the reality for a company is better than it expects, you can make money by buying and holding for the long term. We don't have analyst forecasts, but shareholders might want to examine this detailed historical graph of earnings, revenue and cash flow. Of course, you might find a fantastic investment by looking at a few good candidates. So take a peek at this free list of companies with modest (or no) debt, trading on a P/E below 20.
