| Watch: Actress screams about how great her life is because she had an abortion - TheBlaze Posted: 05 Mar 2020 11:58 PM PST  Actress Busy Philipps was able to land her name in the news this week, thanks to her screaming tirade about how great her life is now because she had an abortion at the age of 15. What are the details?Philipps, who made headlines a few months ago over her shock at losing her short-lived talk show, spoke at a pro-abortion rally in front of the Supreme Court on Wednesday to protest against a Louisiana law requiring abortion providers to have admitting privileges at hospitals. The high court heard oral arguments on the case that day. According to Fox News, "Philipps described her reaction to hearing that a 14-year-old girl was 'being denied abortion services' in Ohio," when she said: Here I was sitting in Los Angeles in my beautiful office of my own late-night talk show. Soon, I would be driving my hybrid car to my beautiful f***ing home, to kiss my two beautiful and healthy children and my husband who had taken the year off to parent so I could focus on my career. And I have ALL OF THIS. ALL OF IT because — because — I was allowed bodily autonomy at 15. She added later: I will not be shamed into being quiet. We will not be shamed into being quiet. Never again. I will NEVER stop talking about my abortion, or my periods, or my experiences in childbirth, my episiotomies, my yeast infections, or my ovulation that lines up with the moon!" Anything else?What may come as a surprise, is that Philipps' remarks weren't even the most shocking of the rally. At the same demonstration, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-Mich.) told fellow demonstrators that her go-to line against pro-life politicians was, "Maybe you shouldn't even want to have sex with me!" The event was also where Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) threatened Supreme Court Justices Brett Kavanaugh and Neil Gorsuch over how they might rule on the case, June Medical Services v. Russo. "I want to tell you, Gorshuch, I want to tell you, Kavanaugh," Schumer yelled, calling the justices by name. "You have released the whirlwind, and you will pay the price. You won't know what hit you if you go forward with these awful decisions."

| Mobile banking app Empower Finance just closed a $20 million Series A round - TechCrunch Posted: 05 Mar 2020 11:32 PM PST  Another afternoon, another round of funding for a mobile banking app. This time, it's Empower Finance, a San Francisco-based company that's headed up by former Sequoia Capital partner Warren Hogarth and which just closed on $20 million in Series A funding from Icon Ventures and Defy Ventures. David Velez, who is the founder and CEO of Nubank, the largest fintech in Latin America, also joined the round. We'd first written about the company in 2017, when Hogarth was just getting the business off the ground. Fast-forward a bit and Empower now employs 35 people and has attracted more than 600,000 active users to its platform, says Hogarth. What has drawn them in: the company's promise of combining AI and actual human financial planners to help millennials in particular accrue some wealth, including, more newly, through its own checking account product and through a savings account that's currently promising 1.60% in annual percentage yield with no minimums, no overdraft fees and unlimited withdrawals. It's all part of an overall offering that crunches through account holders' bank and credit card accounts, and recommends how much they save into which account, how much they should spend given their overall picture, various ways they can cut costs and where and when they've surpassed their pre-configured budgets. Of course, the company has so much competition it's dizzying, but like the various upstarts against which it's battling for mindshare, the opportunity that Empower is chasing is enormous, too. Though companies like Chime can seem overpriced given how fast investors have marked up their rounds — Chime's newest financing, announced in December, was done at a $5.8 billion post-money valuation, which was four times more than the company was worth at the outset of 2019 — digital banks are still tiny fish in an ocean of institutional financial services, representing something like 3% of the market. They're gaining more market share by the day, too, including by charging far lower fees for much more. In Empower's case, users pay $6 a month, but Hogarth says they also save $300 a year in additional fees they would pay a brick-and-mortar bank. He insists that on average, it also helps them save $1,300 more annually, too. As for all those other companies — Mint, Acorns, the list goes on — Hogarth sounds surprisingly sanguine. "If you look at it from the outside, it looks crowded. But the consumer financial services in the U.S. is a $2 trillion business, and we haven't had a fundamental shift since maybe Schwab came along 30 years ago." Indeed, says Hogarth, because Empower and its rivals are mobile and branchless and don't have legacy software to contend with, they're able to take 60 to 70% of the cost structure out of the business. What that means on an individual company level is that even if each upstart can attract 2 to 3 million customers, they can get to a multibillion-dollar market cap. At least, that kind of math is "why there's so much interest in this space," says Hogarth. It's also why people like Nubank's Velez, who have seen this story play out in Europe and Latin America and who are seeing the early phases of it in the U.S., are apparently keeping the money spigot open for now. Empower had earlier raised an undisclosed amount of seed funding from Sequoia, followed by a $4.5 million round led by Initialized Capital.

| Posted: 05 Mar 2020 10:54 PM PST  The internet is enthralled with the melodious voice of a cab driver from Kolkata after a video of his classical song made its way to social media. The nearly three-minute clip was posted on Facebook by Brinda Dasgupta after her brief encounter with the cab driver as she described in the caption of her post. A couple of months ago, Brinda booked an Uber cab from her residence to the Altamira Art Gallery and found herself humming a song on the way. Intrigued, Aryan Soni, the cab driver, asked her whether she is interested in music. Yes, Brinda said, and Aryan in turn, explained his passion for music to her by singing a Hindustani classical bandish. Brinda, instantly, recorded Aryan's impromptu performance and shared the video two days ago on Facebook. It shouldn't be surprising that Aryan's song has gone crazy viral with over 73,000 views so far. "A few months ago, I took an Uber from home to Altamira Art Gallery for some work. As I arbitrarily hummed bits of some song I do not remember now, Aryan Soni, this man who happens to be the cab driver asked me if I take interest in music. I smiled and nodded, then asked him if he does as well... This is what came out of the few sentences exchanged. Here's hoping you lend your ears," Brinda said in the caption of her post. Apart from garnering thousands of likes, Brinda's post has been frequently shared across Facebook as well. In the comments section, netizens applauded Aryan Soni for his voice and also thanked Brinda for sharing the video. "A rare talent. Hope he shines on the world stage and we get to hear him more. Wish him all the luck and blessings," a comment read. Another user added, "Mind blowing!! What a prodigy. Very few are blessed with such gift of God. You are indeed fortunate to have met him. Thanks so much for sharing this talent with the world." Incredible! ALSO READ: UNICEF shares viral TikTok video of Vietnamese boy doing handwashing dance. Seen yet?

| WHO calls on all nations to 'pull out all the stops' to fight coronavirus - CNBC Posted: 05 Mar 2020 10:26 PM PST  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 World Health Organization on Thursday called on all nations to "pull out all the stops" to fight the COVID-19 coronavirus as it continues to spread outside of China. "This epidemic can be pushed back but only with a coordinated and comprehensive approach that engages the entire machinery of government," WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said during a press briefing at the agency's headquarters in Geneva. "We're calling on every country to act with speed, scale and clear-minded determination." Tedros said world health officials are "deeply concerned" about the increasing number of countries reporting cases, especially those with weaker health-care systems. He's also worried that some countries aren't taking this seriously enough or have decided that there's nothing they can do to curb local outbreaks. "This epidemic is a threat for every country, rich and poor. And as we've said before, even the high-income countries should expect surprises," he said. "We're concerned that in some countries, the level of political commitment and the actions that demonstrate that commitment do not match the level of the threat we all face." "This is not a drill. This is not the time to give up. This is not a time for excuses. This is a time to pull out all the stops," he said. WHO officials last week increased the risk assessment of the coronavirus to "high" to "very high" at a global level. The world can still avoid "the worst of it," but the increased risk assessment means the WHO's "level of concern is at its highest," Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of WHO's health emergencies program, said at the time. Tedros said Thursday that the number of newly reported cases in South Korea appears to be declining, adding the new cases identified are primarily from known clusters. This virus "is not a one-way street," he said. "This virus can be pushed back." World health officials said Tuesday the mortality rate for COVID-19 is 3.4% globally, higher than previous estimates of about 2%. During a press briefing Monday, WHO officials said they don't know how COVID-19 behaves, saying it's not like influenza. They added that while much is known about the seasonal flu, such as how it's transmitted and what treatments work to suppress the disease, that same information is still in question when it comes to the coronavirus. Health officials have said the respiratory disease is capable of spreading through human-to-human contact, droplets carried through sneezing and coughing and germs left on inanimate objects. Dr. Maria Van Kerkhove, head of WHO's emerging diseases and zoonosis unit, said Thursday scientists currently do not believe that asymptomatic transmission is a "major driver" of the disease, adding, "that could change." "It's still early days, it's still a few weeks into this outbreak," she said. "We're learning something new every day about this virus."

| Rangers' Mika Zibanejad nets five goals, including OT winner vs. Capitals - ESPN Posted: 05 Mar 2020 09:10 PM PST  NEW YORK -- Mika Zibanejad scored five goals to match the New York Rangers' record, capping the scoring spree 33 seconds into overtime in a wild 6-5 victory over the Washington Capitals on Thursday night. Zibanejad is the second player in NHL history to score his fifth goal in OT, joining Detroit's Sergei Fedorov, who accomplished the feat on Dec. 26, 1996 -- also against Washington. The Rangers center is also the first player with five goals in a game since Winnipeg's Patrik Laine did it in an 8-4 win over St. Louis on Nov. 24, 2018. Zibanejad joined Don Murdoch (Oct. 12, 1976) and Mark Pavelich (Feb. 23, 1983) as Rangers with five goals in a game. Zibanejad's 38th of the season helped New York end a three-game skid. He took a pass from Artemi Panarin. Zibanejad is the first Rangers center with at least 35 goals in a season since Hall of Famer Eric Lindros in 2001-02. Tony DeAngelo had a goal and two assists, Panarin had three assists and Alexandar Georgiev made 29 saves for New York. Alex Ovechkin had two goals, including the tying score with 43 second remaining to force overtime. That came after Zibanejad scored on a rebound with 1:42 remaining to give New York a brief 5-4 lead. Ilya Kovalchuk had a goal and an assist, and Carl Hagelin and Garnet Hathaway also scored for Washington. Ilya Samsonov had 33 saves for the Capitals. Defense has been an issue for the Capitals, who have allowed at least three goals for the 10th consecutive game. It's the first time they've done that since the 2006-07 season. The Rangers broke a 3-3 tie early in the third period. Pavel Buchnevich had the puck behind the net and connected with Zibanejad, who was cutting across the net just 12 seconds in. Ovechkin wristed in his 46th of the season from the left faceoff circle at 9:22 to make it 4-4. With the score tied at 2-2 in the second, the teams traded goals 16 seconds apart. First, DeAngelo scored off a nice pass from Panarin at 14:42. Panarin connected with the defenseman, who was cutting toward the net and scored his 14th of the season. The Capitals answered right back when Hathaway scored his ninth of the season. Tied 1-1 after the first, the Rangers grabbed the lead in the second. On a delayed penalty call against the Capitals, the Rangers were able to keep control of the puck in the attacking zone. Adam Fox fed a one-timer to Zibanejad at the left faceoff circle and he beat Samsonov at 5:29. A little more than six minutes later, the Capitals tied it at 2-2. From behind the net, Lars Eller sent a pass to Kovalchuk, who beat Georgiev with his 10th of the season and his first since being acquired by Washington last month. Georgiev was sharp early on in the game, including stopping Richard Panik on a breakaway a little more than five minutes into the first period. The Capitals kept up the pressure and opened the scoring a couple of minutes later. Nick Jensen sent a pass to Hagelin, who beat Georgiev with a wrister short-side for his eighth of the season at 7:05. The Rangers tied it on the power play two minutes after that. DeAngelo sent a pass from the right point to Panarin. Panarin's one-timer was deflected into the net by Zibanejad at 9:01. The Associated Press contributed to this report.

| Alexander-Arnold explains his Mbappe celebration after rare Liverpool goal - Goal.com Posted: 05 Mar 2020 08:10 PM PST Trent Alexander-Arnold has revealed the motivation behind his Kylian Mbappe crossed-arms celebration - while admitting he had to bide his time to show it to the world. The Liverpool star found the net on Boxing Day against Leicester City and marked the goal by imitating the Paris Saint-Germain wizard's trademark pose. But when quizzed on the celebration, he played down its significance and pointed out that, given he has found the net just twice in 2019-20, he will not get to repeat it too often. "Mbappe's celebration! It's something I do with my mates...we joke around," he told BBC Sport . "Obviously I don't score too much, and I was saying for ages that I'd do it when I next scored, and I think it was about three or four months between my two goals, so I'd been planning it for a while!" That goal, which came in a 4-0 win for the table-topping Reds, was indeed his last in competitive play to date. But Liverpool fans are in no doubt over Alexander-Arnold's importance to the team as at just 21 he now commands an undisputed role in the club's starting XI. It could all have been so different for the right-back though had he not moved back down the field from the midfield as a teenager.
 "Who decided the position change? It was me, Neil Critchley and Alex Inglethorpe. Critch was my under-18 manager and Alex was head of the academy. I wanted to get into the first team as soon as possible, and we decided that was the most straightforward route," he added. "It was difficult [to adjust] because when you play higher up you are very rarely isolated in a defensive situation. That was the strangest thing - being one-on-one with someone out wide, with no-one to help. "I've always enjoyed right-back as there is a lot more freedom going forward. It's a lot more chaotic in the middle. "I probably get more of the ball now than I did when I was in midfield. It's just about trying to influence the game as much as possible from out there. "Going into a game I don't play to make the full-back position 'sexy'. I just think a lot of people underestimate how important the full-back position is. It's vital in the sense you've got to be up and down the pitch, creating things but also defending. "I just go out there and try to make the team win - whether that means I'm playing 'sexy' football or not." Alexander-Arnold and Liverpool are back in action on Saturday, where they will hope to get back to form at home to Bournemouth after suffering rare back-to-back defeats in the Premier League against Watford and to Chelsea in the FA Cup fifth round. Jurgen Klopp's men nevertheless remain 22 points clear at the league summit and look destined to claim the top-flight title for the first time since 1990.

All times below are in Beijing time. 10:50 am: Microsoft will pay hourly workers regularly even if they spend less time on the clock because of coronavirusMicrosoft on Thursday committed to paying normal hourly wages to non-employees providing services to Microsoft workers, like bus drivers and cafeteria workers, who might otherwise receive less pay while many of the company's employees spend the next few weeks working from home to avoid exposure to the coronavirus. "We recognize the hardship that lost work can mean for hourly employees," Brad Smith, Microsoft's president and chief legal officer, wrote in a blog post on Thursday. "As a result, we've decided that Microsoft will continue to pay all our vendor hourly service providers their regular pay during this period of reduced service needs. This is independent of whether their full services are needed. This will ensure that, in Puget Sound for example, the 4,500 hourly employees who work in our facilities will continue to receive their regular wages even if their work hours are reduced." — Novet 10:30 am: NYC educators, health-care workers and first responders required to undergo testingNew York City has made it mandatory for all educators, health-care workers and first responders to get tested for the new coronavirus if they are ordered to, according to a directive from its health commissioner. They would be required to undergo testing if they are determined to "present a danger of infection to others." These workers would also not be allowed to return to work until they test negative for the virus or when they no longer pose a danger of infection to others, according to the order. The city may also order any of those workers to quarantine themselves at home or other locations if they refuse to submit for such testing. If they do not comply with this order, they may be subject to penalties such as a fine or imprisonment. 9:55 am: Gap shuts down New York City office after an employee tests positiveGap has closed its New York City headquarters after an employee tested positive for the new coronavirus, the apparel maker told CNBC. The company said it was asking its employees to work from home until further notice. "We learned today (March 5) that one of our employees in our Gap headquarters building in New York is confirmed to have Coronavirus. The individual was not in the office today and is currently recovering at home. As a result of this information, we have decided to close our New York office and are asking employees to work from home until further notice," Gap said in a statement. — Ruggiero, Tan 9:37 am: China reports 143 new cases, 30 more deathsChina's National Health Commission reported 143 new confirmed cases as of March 5, and 30 more deaths.

Hospitals in Daegu were scrambling to accommodate the surge in patients, with 2,300 people waiting to be admitted, according to a Reuters report on Thursday. —Tan 9:00 am: South Korea slams Japan's decision to quarantine visitors from its countrySouth Korea called Japan's decision to impose a two-week quarantine for visitors from its country "unreasonable, excessive and extremely regrettable," according to a Reuters report. Seoul's foreign ministry will summon the Japanese ambassador on Friday to lodge a complaint, it said, according to Reuters. — Tan 8:15 am: Crisis could wipe out $211 billion from Asia Pacific economies, S&P saysThe coronavirus crisis could knock $211 billion from economies throughout Asia Pacific, S&P Global Ratings said in a report. It will particularly affect Australia, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Thailand which will "enter or flirt with recession," the report said. S&P Global Ratings also trimmed its growth forecast for China from 5.7% for 2020, to 4.8%. — Tan 7:45 am: First school closure in AustraliaAustralia ordered its first school closure, after a 16-year-old student in Sydney tested positive for the new coronavirus, according to Reuters.

Australia has 60 cases so far, and two deaths. — Tan All times below are in Eastern time. 5:56 pm: Santa Clara County confirms 7 community transmission casesSanta Clara County public health officials have confirmed six new cases there, bringing the total number of infections in the northern California county to 20. Seven of the 20 cases have "no known travel or direct contact with other known cases," James Williams, director of emergency management, told reporters at a press conference. Santa Clara County Public Health Department Director Dr. Sara Cody said the county is recommending the cancellation of mass gatherings and other big events to help slow the spread of the outbreak. There were 53 cases in California as of Wednesday, according to the state health department, with dozens of new cases announced by public health officials Thursday. "Our cases to date indicate to us that the risk of exposure to the virus in our community is increasing," she said, adding that the number of cases are expected to rise. Employers are being asked to suspend all non-essential employee travel, keep employees from working more than arms-length from each other, allow more flexible sick leave policies and increase tele-commuting. —Kopecki 4:46 pm: San Francisco health officials say COVID-19 is 'spreading in the community'San Francisco health officials announced the first two cases of COVID-19 in the city, and said they were unable to determine the source of the infections. The first patient is a man in his 90s who has underlying health conditions and is in "serious condition," San Francisco public health director Dr. Grant Colfax told reporters Thursday. The second person is a woman in her 40s who is in "fair" condition. "We do not know at this point how they were exposed to the virus, which suggests it is spreading in the community," he said in a statement.

| Actress, costume designer talks shop for 'Three Musketeers' opening weekend - El Dorado News-Times Posted: 05 Mar 2020 06:58 PM PST  "One for all and all for one!" It's opening weekend for the South Arkansas Arts Center's spring production of Ken Ludwig's "The Three Musketeers," sponsored by Murphy-Pitard Jewelers. The play will run from March 6-8 and 12-15, with the curtains rising at 7:30 p.m. or 2:30 p.m. on Sundays. One aspect of the show that has generated some of the most interest from those involved has been costuming. Actors in the show have roles ranging from swordsmen to royalty and from townspeople to tables, among others. Many of the actors appear in multiple roles, and Kaila Emery, costume designer, has worked hard to meet that challenge. Emery also appears as Sabine, the tomboy, sword-fighting younger sister of D'Artagnan. "Death-defying stunts, a bearded lady and brightly colored hair: no, it's not a circus — it's 'The Three Musketeers,'" Emery said. "In rehearsal, when I wasn't on stage, I was sitting on the side stitching. Collaborating with (director) Gary Hall, being involved as an actor, and seeing opportunities for comedic bits in the costuming — it has been a blast! "Color is a big deal to me," she continued. "The audience will see blues and reds that represent loyalties; greens that highlight envy; black capes that represent inner feelings — details that are unique and intentional so that people will talk about the production as a whole, not just the funny voices or slapstick scenes." In a traditional version of the production, the costumes would reflect the Baroque period setting of the show, but Emery is taking an artistic, stylized approach that still pays homage to the period. "We knew we wanted to go in a direction that would run somewhat contrary to audience expectation with the basic idea and silhouette, and then allow for some fun and creative freedom. Costumes not only tell the story, they define the characters," Hall said. "Many of the actors play multiple roles, with only a split second to define who they are and how they relate to the story. We know the audience will recognize actors who have appeared as someone else in a previous scene. The burden falls on the actor to create the character through voice and movement. Kaila has given them a great springboard from which to jump, and they just follow through with beautiful dives." Marsha Antoon, veteran SAAC stage actor and director, plays four characters — the Queen, D'Artagnan's mother, the Mother Superior and Parisian citizen Elise. The quick changes of costumes, hair and makeup make for some fast moves behind the curtain. She transforms herself from a townsperson to royalty in a matter of minutes, which means, wigs, makeup and clothing changes. "I play a guard, a barmaid, a lady at the ball and a table," Cheri Bright, a sword fighter in the production, said. "One of the most fun aspects of this show has been the collaborative aspect," said Hall. "We have fed off each other in ways that have dictated our styles and choices. We knew we wanted to eschew expectations as far as the costuming goes, so we let our imaginations run wild. Did the clothes make the man (or woman)? Or was it the other way around? I think everyone would say it was equal parts of both scenarios."

| Can China's COVID-19 strategy work elsewhere? - Science Magazine Posted: 05 Mar 2020 06:26 PM PST  Bruce Aylward of the World Health Organization holds up a graphic showing China's plummeting coronavirus cases at a 24 February press conference in Beijing. PHOTO: XINHUA/XING GUANGLI/GETTY IMAGES Chinese hospitals overflowing with COVID-19 patients a few weeks ago now have empty beds. Trials of experimental drugs can't find enough eligible patients. And the number of new cases reported each day in China is dropping precipitously. These are some of the startling observations in a report released on 28 February by a team of 12 Chinese and 13 foreign scientists who toured five cities in China to study the state of the COVID-19 epidemic and the effectiveness of the country's response. Even some on the team, organized jointly by the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Chinese government, say they were surprised. "I thought there was no way those numbers could be real," says epidemiologist Tim Eckmanns of the Robert Koch Institute in Berlin. But the report is unequivocal. "China's bold approach to contain the rapid spread of this new respiratory pathogen has changed the course of a rapidly escalating and deadly epidemic," it says. To Bruce Aylward, a Canadian WHO epidemiologist who led the mission and briefed journalists in Beijing and Geneva last week, the effort was a huge success. "Hundreds of thousands of people in China did not get COVID-19 because of this aggressive response," he says. Aylward and other members of the task force say the rest of the world should learn from China. But critics say the report failed to acknowledge the human rights costs of the most severe measures imposed by China's authoritarian government: massive lockdowns and electronic surveillance of millions of people. "I think there are very good reasons for countries to hesitate using these kinds of extreme measures," says Lawrence Gostin, a global health law scholar at Georgetown University. Many also worry that a resurgence of the disease will occur after the country lifts some of its strictest control measures and restarts its economy, which has taken a huge hit. The report comes at a critical time in what many epidemiologists now consider a nascent pandemic. The number of affected countries is rising rapidly—it stood at 72 as Science went to press, according to WHO. Alarmingly, in many of these countries, the virus has quickly gained a foothold and started to spread in communities. But cases have plummeted in China. On 10 February, the first day of the mission, the country reported 2478 new cases. Two weeks later, when the foreign experts packed their bags, the daily number of new cases had dropped to 409. (On 3 March it had dropped further to 129 new cases, compared with 1848 in the rest of the world.) China's epidemic appears to have peaked in late January, according to the report. Members of the team traveled to Beijing, Shenzhen, Guangzhou, Chengdu, and the hardest hit city, Wuhan. They visited hospitals, laboratories, companies, live animal markets, train stations, and local government offices. "Everywhere you went, anyone you spoke to, there was a sense of responsibility and collective action—and there's a war footing to get things done," Aylward says. As part of the effort, Chinese scientists have compiled a massive data set that gives the best available picture of the disease. The mission report says about 80% of infected people had mild to moderate disease, marked by fever and a dry cough; 13.8% had severe symptoms; and 6.1% had life-threatening episodes of respiratory failure, septic shock, or organ failure. The case fatality rate was highest for people over age 80 (21.9%), and people who had heart disease, diabetes, or hypertension, but 3.8% overall. Children made up a mere 2.4% of the cases, and almost none was severely ill. People with mild and moderate illness took 2 weeks on average to recover. The report highlights how China achieved what many public health experts thought was impossible: containing the spread of a widely circulating respiratory virus. "China has rolled out perhaps the most ambitious, agile, and aggressive disease containment effort in history," the report notes. The most dramatic—and controversial—measure was the lockdown of Wuhan and nearby cities in Hubei province, putting at least 50 million people under a mandatory quarantine since 23 January. That has "effectively prevented further exportation of infected individuals to the rest of the country," the report concludes. Most of China did not face such severe measures: People were asked, but not required, to quarantine themselves if they felt ill, and neighborhood leaders monitored their movements. Chinese authorities also built two dedicated hospitals in Wuhan in about 1 week, sent health care workers from all over China to Hubei, and launched an unprecedented effort to trace contacts of confirmed cases. In Wuhan alone, more than 1800 teams traced tens of thousands of contacts. Aggressive "social distancing" measures implemented in the entire country included canceling sporting events and shuttering theaters, schools, and businesses. Anyone who went outdoors had to wear a mask. Two widely used mobile phone apps, AliPay and WeChat—which in recent years have replaced cash in China—have helped enforce the restrictions, because they allow the government to keep track of people's movements and even stop people with confirmed infections from traveling. "Every person has sort of a traffic light system," says mission member Gabriel Leung, dean of the Li Ka Shing Faculty of Medicine at the University of Hong Kong. Color codes on mobile phone screens—in which green, yellow, or red designate a person's health status—let guards at train stations and other checkpoints know who to let through. "As a consequence of all of these measures, public life is very reduced," the report notes. But the measures did work. In the end, infected people rarely spread the virus to anyone except members of their own household, Leung says. Once all the people living together were exposed, the virus had nowhere else to go and chains of transmission ended. "That's how the epidemic truly came under control," Leung says. It's debatable how much of this could be done elsewhere. "China is unique in that it has a political system that can gain public compliance with extreme measures," Gostin says. The country also has an extraordinary ability to do labor-intensive, large-scale projects quickly, says Jeremy Konyndyk, a senior policy fellow at the Center for Global Development: "No one else in the world really can do what China just did." Nor should they, says lawyer Alexandra Phelan, a China specialist at Georgetown's Center for Global Health Science and Security. "There are plenty of things that would work to stop an outbreak that we would consider abhorrent in a just and free society," Phelan says. The report urges China "to more clearly communicate key data and developments internationally." But it is mum on the coercive nature of China's control measures and the toll they have exacted. "The one thing that's completely glossed over is the whole human rights dimension," says Devi Sridhar, a global public health specialist at the University of Edinburgh. Instead, the report praises the "deep commitment of the Chinese people to collective action in the face of this common threat." "To me, as somebody who has spent a lot of time in China, it comes across as incredibly naïve—and if not naïve, then willfully blind to some of the approaches being taken," Phelan says. Singapore and Hong Kong may be better examples to follow, Konyndyk says: "There has been a similar degree of rigor and discipline but applied in a much less draconian manner." Jennifer Nuzzo of the Johns Hopkins University Bloomberg School of Public Health also wonders what effects China's strategy had on, for instance, the treatment of cancer or HIV patients, whose care may have been interrupted. "I think it's important when evaluating the impact of these approaches to consider secondary, tertiary consequences," she says. And the benefit may be short-lived. "There's no question they suppressed the outbreak," says Mike Osterholm, head of the Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy at the University of Minnesota, Twin Cities. Reducing the peak number of cases buys a health system time to deal with later ones, public health experts say. But once the restrictions are lifted, "It'll come roaring right back," Osterholm predicts. Aylward and the other visiting scientists on the team were well aware of the "reality of different political systems," he says, but they spoke with hundreds of people around the country and "everyone agreed with the approach." He hopes China's successes so far will encourage other countries to act quickly. "We're getting new reports daily of new outbreaks in new areas, and people have a sense of, 'Oh, we can't do anything,'" Aylward says. "Well, sorry. There are really practical things you can do to be ready to be able to respond to this, and that's where the focus will need to be."

| Texas man filmed licking ice cream in viral video gets 30 days in jail - New York Post Posted: 05 Mar 2020 06:24 PM PST  A Texas man filmed in a viral video licking a pint of ice cream and returning it to the shelf in a Walmart was sentenced to 30 days behind bars, according to a report. D'Adrien Anderson, 24, was handed the sentence Wednesday over the August 2019 stunt in Port Arthur — even though surveillance footage from the store shows he did eventually grab the same tub of Blue Bell ice cream out of the freezer and purchased it, the Port Arthur News reported. The clip — which didn't show the part where he ultimately purchased the pint — racked up more than 157,000 views on Facebook before it was taken down. Cops issued an arrest warrant for Anderson after Blue Bell Creameries replaced all of the ice cream in that display case at a cost of $1,565. Anderson must also pay a fine of $1,000, on top of restitution totaling $1,565 to Blue Bell, as well as serving 180 days probation and 100 hours of community service. The local Jefferson County District Attorney's Office defended the charges as "appropriate." "Anderson's actions caused public concerns about the safety and quality of consumer products offered for public consumption, impacted Blue Bell consumer confidence and caused the company financial loss," the office said. "This type of activity will not be tolerated."

| Man Utd news: Jesse Lingard robs Luke Shaw of goal against Derby DURING celebrations - Metro.co.uk Posted: 05 Mar 2020 05:10 PM PST  Manchester United defender Luke Shaw celebrated wildly after putting his side ahead with just his second goal for the club in a 3-0 FA Cup win against Derby County. Well, he thought it was his goal anyway. That's because replays showed that the defender's effort took a slight deflection off Jesse Lingard's back before ending up in the Derby net. Nobody but Lingard suspected a thing, least of all Shaw. The defender's recaptured his form in recent weeks and the goal seemed the perfect reward for Shaw, who's had his fair share of problems at Old Trafford. But, as Shaw celebrated with a broad smile, Lingard can clearly be seen informing him that the shot had taken a flick off his back. Advertisement Advertisement Unfortunately for Shaw, the replays prove Lingard's point and the goal is likely to go to the midfielder. If there's a silver lining for Shaw it's that Lingard probably needed the goal even more than he did.  The England midfielder has struggled for form in the last 18 months and his only other goal this season came in a Europa League group stage match against Astana in 2019. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer will be hoping the confidence of getting the goal will be the boost that Lingard needs as he warned the midfielder earlier this week that he must improve. 'I am not going to feel sorry for you (the player), you have to make yourself available for the next game and competitive in situations. That is what I like. I like to see players who say, 'okay, he has left me out for two or three games without explanation,' said Solskjær. 'I don't have to explain every time. Sometimes I do, yeah, but it is a way for me to say I need more. You can't just speak to them 100 times and say, 'now we need a change in you'. You have had opportunities. 'I've got to make decisions and one day… well, you give them one warning and that's it probably, and then the next thing maybe they are not here anymore. You don't have to explain every time then. You might have to think about it after.' MORE: Deontay Wilder advised to axe Tyson Fury bout and fight Andy Ruiz instead Advertisement Advertisement

| Posted: 05 Mar 2020 04:54 PM PST Cape Breton Regional Police have confirmed that they are investigating an alleged assault at a Nova Scotia school after a video of the incident was widely shared online. The force says the incident occurred at Riverview High School in Coxheath, N.S., and was reported on Wednesday. The video shows a fight between students. Global News is choosing not to share the full video due to its disturbing and violent content. Police would not comment on any details of the investigation and will provide an update when investigators have completed their work. They are also asking that people stop sharing the video out of an abundance of caution for the "mental wellness" of those involved.  The Cape Breton-Victoria Regional Centre for Education (CB-VRCE) described the incident as "unacceptable" in a statement provided to Global News on Thursday. "We do not condone this type of behaviour in our schools. It has shaken our entire school community," said Michelle MacLeod, a spokesperson for the CB-VRCE. MacLeod said the centre of education is unable to speak to specifics about the incident as a result of privacy requirements but said school administration is conducting its own investigation under the school code of conduct policy. "We will be co-operating fully with the Cape Breton Regional Police," said MacLeod. © 2020 Global News, a division of Corus Entertainment Inc.

| How Worried Should You Be About the Coronavirus? - The New York Times Posted: 05 Mar 2020 04:26 PM PST  One of the most common questions asked of health experts about the new coronavirus is some variation of the same thing: How worried should I be? It's a complicated question for two reasons. Why it's so complicatedFirst, while global knowledge of Covid-19, the disease caused by the new coronavirus, is growing every day, much remains unknown. Many cases are thought to be mild or asymptomatic, for example, making it hard to gauge how wide the virus has spread or how deadly it is. Second, much of the risk comes not from the virus itself but from how it affects the societies it hits. For most people, the disease is probably not particularly deadly; health officials tend to put it somewhere within range of an unusually severe seasonal flu. Even in a global pandemic, it's expected to kill fewer people than the flu virus. Data so far suggests that if you catch the coronavirus, you may be likelier to have no symptoms at all than to require hospitalization. The coronavirus is thought to be much more dangerous for people over age 70 or with existing health conditions such as diabetes. This is also true of the flu. But because the coronavirus spreads widely and quickly, it can overwhelm local health systems in a way that the flu does not. This is thought to have driven the unusually high mortality rate in Hubei, the region of China where the coronavirus first spread. Officials, unprepared for the outbreak, were caught without sufficient hospital beds or health care workers, meaning that many people who might have survived with better care did not. In South Korea, where officials were better prepared, the mortality rate has been a fraction of that in Hubei — so far, about that of the flu. But the disease's spread, along with measures to contain it, is also bringing disruptions that even the worst flu does not. Economic slowdowns, supply chain disruptions, school closures, public transit restrictions and mandatory work-from-home policies all exact tolls, whether you get sick or not. Individual risk versus systemic riskSo how worried should you be? Let me answer with a personal anecdote. In early December, I fell ill with symptoms that just happened to mirror those of a serious Covid-19 infection. I was bedridden for weeks with pneumonia and, for some stretches, had trouble breathing. It was unpleasant and disruptive. But I was basically fine. A couple of doctor visits and timely prescriptions ensured that the symptoms posed no serious risk. Family and friends helped pick up the slack on my personal obligations. My colleagues did the same at work. All told, the net societal, economic and public health impact of my illness was negligible. But my symptoms were bearable because I'm relatively young and don't have existing health conditions. Otherwise, they could have required hospitalization or posed a risk of death. And my illness's societal toll was negligible because I am just one person. As we've seen from the coronavirus's spread, when a community is hit by thousands or tens of thousands of cases at once, this brings systemic risks that a one-off illness like mine does not. Consider a scenario in which my relatively mild illness had affected not just me but much of my community. My local health office might not have been able to see me as quickly or as often. I would have still been fine, if more uncomfortable and more worried. But my neighbors who are older or who have existing health conditions might have required hospitalization. They would have been at greater risk of dying — particularly if overrun hospitals had to turn some away. China's experience also suggests that, in an outbreak, you could have a harder time getting care for health ailments of any sort. Then there is the social burden. Friends and family who helped pick up the slack for me would have been less able to do so if they were dealing with lots of sick friends at once, or were sick themselves. Imagine if much of your family and social circle became ill simultaneously. Who would assume your child care or elder care responsibilities? How much would you have to pick up for others? In countries with major outbreaks, the burdens have fallen on nearly everyone, sick or not. Government measures to limit the coronaviruses's spread can increase those burdens. In Italy and Japan, school closures have required parents to stay home from work for weeks at a time. That brings a financial cost for families that need to miss work or hire help, as well as an educational cost for children out of class. Transit restrictions and other measures bring more hardship, particularly for part-time workers who can't rely on paid time off. It all adds up. Economic disruptions can be severe as well. One of my neighbors works for a company that manufactures consumer technology. Another works for a global marketing firm. A couple are doctors. If our employers were all hit with big staffing shortfalls at the same time, even if that lasted only a month or so, the economic consequences could quickly grow. If supply chain breakdowns worsen, it could become harder to find products that rely on parts or materials from affected countries — which, in today's globalized world, could be almost anything. Maybe the manufacturer has trouble buying parts from its suppliers in Asia. Maybe the marketing firm loses a couple of corporate clients in Italy, as companies there tighten their belts. That can take on a domino effect all its own as global economic supply and demand feed each other's decline. A global slowdown, even a brief one, means layoffs at a time when governments will also have less tax revenue to fund social safety nets. At the same time, a pandemic means that virtually everyone could face unusually high health care, child care and elder care burdens. The inequality problemMuch as the virus's direct impact on your health depends on your personal details, such as your age, any systemic risk from an outbreak also varies based on your personal context. If you live someplace with good governance, along with plentiful health care and economic resources, the risk to you is likely to be lower. The state will be better able to absorb any societal and economic burden and, if you fall ill, to ensure you the appropriate care. As in Italy or Japan, people in wealthier countries may also be able to rely on government-funded assistance. But if you live someplace where state and society function less effectively, the consequences are likely to be greater — and the burden pushed onto individual families. An economic slowdown might also be more painful and longer lasting. Part-time workers like restaurant servers or Uber drivers will feel more consequences. Any time off is likely to be unpaid and the financial toll harder to absorb. Many may feel greater pressure to keep working, even if they have an existing condition that makes Covid-19 more dangerous. People in poorer countries may also be more vulnerable, as Iran's example shows, if health services are more easily overwhelmed and families are less able to absorb any financial hit. As is so often the case, people who live in wealthy countries, who are wealthy themselves or who have good protections at work will be much better positioned to ride things out. For many of them, the systemic risk of a coronavirus outbreak is probably about on par with the health risk I faced with my own illness: unpleasant and disruptive, but probably far from catastrophic. Maybe it's easiest, then, to think of this as less of a seismic shift in global circumstances than a deepening of one of our era's most consequential trends, in which the well-off are cushioned and protected, while the burdens are pushed onto the poorer and the working class. In other words, a story of inequality older than the novel coronavirus.

| Viral post about someone's uncle's coronavirus advice is not all it's cracked up to be - Full Fact Posted: 05 Mar 2020 04:24 PM PST  We've been asked to check a Facebook post that has been shared hundreds of thousands of times, which makes a number of claims about the symptoms of Covid-19 and ways to prevent the disease. The claims are a mixture of accurate and inaccurate. While the post does include some basic advice that is worth following, it also contains some claims which could falsely lead people to believe they don't have Covid-19 when they do, or which suggest ways of preventing infection that will not work. During the writing of this fact check, the post was edited by the author to alter some of the more inaccurate claims. However, as the post had already been shared over 300,000 before these edits occurred, we're going to focus on the original version of the text as it will have been so widely seen.
Having a runny nose and sputum (phlegm coughed up from the lungs) doesn't rule out having Covid-19. It's true that early studies on the new coronavirus have found that a runny nose (rhinorrhoea in medical terminology) is a relatively uncommon symptom, but some patients did have it. At least one other study has found it to be a more common symptom. So if you have a runny nose you may still have Covid-19. Covid-19's main symptoms are a cough, high temperature and shortness of breath, but the US Center for Disease Control (CDC) says "sputum production" is a less common, but still reported, symptom. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found that a third of coronavirus patients were producing sputum. (In the newly edited version of the Facebook post, this claim has been changed to "you may have a common cold/flu", which is more accurate.)
The term pneumonia describes the swelling of lung tissue. It's usually caused by a bacterial infection, and has been seen in Covid-19 patients. One of the most common symptoms of Covid-19 is a dry cough. But as we've already said, having a runny nose doesn't rule out Covid-19. (The edited version of the post now says "no runny nose to start off with". It is not clear from the available evidence when the patients who did develop runny noses first had that symptom. Again, you shouldn't assume that if you have a runny nose it can't be Covid-19.)
Because the virus is relatively new to us, there's a lot we don't know about it, like the temperatures it can withstand. You should be wary of sources that claim to have details this specific so early after the discovery of the virus. What we can do is look at related viruses. Coronavirus is a family of viruses including the common cold, SARS, and SARS-CoV-2 (the virus that causes Covid-19). Studies have found that another coronavirus, MERS, was more stable at lower temperatures, and a warmer, humid environment slowed its transmission. The World Health Organisation (WHO) says coronaviruses in general can be destroyed at cooking-levels of heat, at around 70°C. Despite this, it's worth noting that going in the sun is unlikely to protect you from the virus, and you're better off concentrating on washing your hands thoroughly. Some of the countries with confirmed coronavirus cases have warmer climates where the temperature is often above 27°C. (The edited version of the post merely removes the words "It hates the Sun", so remains inaccurate.)
There is no evidence that the SARS-CoV-2 virus (which causes Covid-19) spreads differently to other coronaviruses, which can be transmitted by droplets produced by coughs and sneezes. It's difficult to say exactly how far droplets spread when you sneeze, as it depends on a factors like humidity and temperature. Research from MIT in recent years has shown that droplets from sneezes have the potential to spread several metres from the sneezing person. The NHS says you should cover your mouth and nose with a tissue or sleeve, but not your hands, when you sneeze, and put used tissues in the bin and wash your hands afterwards.
The WHO says "Studies suggest that coronaviruses (including preliminary information on the COVID-19 virus) may persist on surfaces for a few hours or up to several days. "This may vary under different conditions (e.g. type of surface, temperature or humidity of the environment)." We don't know how long the virus that causes Covid-19 can survive on surfaces yet, but washing your hands well with soap is good advice to prevent you picking up germs from surfaces. The edited version of the post now says "wash your hands as soon as you can with soap (an alcohol-based one is good)", which confuses two things: the WHO recommends "washing your hands with soap and water or using alcohol-based hand rub", not that the soap needs to be alcohol-based.
The CDC recommends that people who are in the same household as those with Covid-19 or someone suspected of having it, or those who are intimate partners or caregivers of them, should remove and wash soiled clothing, and wear disposable gloves when handling it. It says "In general, [use] a normal laundry detergent according to washing machine instructions and dry thoroughly using the warmest temperatures recommended on the clothing label." We haven't found any reliable source saying exactly how long the virus can survive on fabric. In a blogpost, Harvard Medical School's instructor in medicine Todd Ellerin writes: "Currently, there's no evidence that COVID-19, the new coronavirus, can be transmitted from soft surfaces like fabric or carpet to humans."
We can't find any scientific evidence that warm water can cure or prevent diseases caused by viruses, although hot drinks can be a comfort to those suffering with coughs and colds. The edited version of the post just claims that you should avoid drinking liquids with ice.
Washing your hands thoroughly, and often, is good advice. It's not clear exactly how long the virus can 'survive' on your hands, especially not down to the minute. But the post is right to mention that rubbing your eyes, mouth or nose is problematic if you haven't washed your hands, because these areas are a prime entry point for viruses and bacteria.
Other fact checkers have also written about this claim, which was attributed to respiratory expert Zhong Nanshan, a key figure during the SARS outbreak. The hospital where he worked debunked the rumour via a post on social media site Weibo. Gargling with salt water is recommended by the NHS for adults who have a sore throat, but only to relieve symptoms once you have caught it, not as a preventative measure. The WHO has said that there's no evidence saline can prevent Covid-19.
In general, this is a roughly accurate description of the common symptoms of Covid-19, although some patients may experience other symptoms and the timing of those symptoms may differ. The CDC says that sore throat has been reported "in some patients". More commonly, symptoms include fever, a cough, muscle pain and shortness of breath, as the post claims. Not everyone who has Covid-19 will get pneumonia though. The NHS does not mention nasal congestion that 'feels like drowning' as a specific symptom for Covid-19. It does advise that you use its 111 online coronavirus service, if you have recently returned from somewhere with a higher risk of the new coronavirus, a list of which can be found here. The post is right to advise you to call 111 if you think you have the virus, and not visit your GP or a hospital in person. This article is part of our work fact checking potentially false pictures, videos and stories on Facebook. You can read more about this—and find out how to report Facebook content—here. For the purposes of that scheme, we've rated this claim as partly false because not all of the claims are backed up by evidence and some are wrong.
