Mobile World Congress to be held in Barcelona until 2024 - organiser - Yahoo Finance Posted: 16 Apr 2020 12:10 AM PDT A visitor films with his mobile phone at the Samsung booth at the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona BARCELONA (Reuters) - The Mobile World Congress (MWC), the telecoms industry's biggest annual gathering, will be held in Barcelona until 2024, extending its current contract by one year, the GSMA association that hosts the congress said on Wednesday. "By extending through 2024, we are demonstrating our commitment to our ecosystem as well as the host city parties," GSMA's CEO John Hoffman said in a statement. "We are pleased to report that we have had tremendous support and early commitment with many exhibitors for future editions." The MWC, which draws more than 100,000 people to Barcelona, became one of the first business casualties of the coronavirus pandemic when this year's event was cancelled in February despite assurances from local and national health officials that it would have been safe to hold it. The one-year extension is related to the 2020 gathering's cancellation and is unrelated to potential negotiations on a new contract for the MWC to be held in the Spanish city beyond 2024, a Catalan regional government source told Reuters. After the cancellation, the Catalan regional government's top economic official, Pere Aragones, called for a stronger alliance between the GSMA and the region, adding that a way to do it would be for the organisers to extend the MWC presence in Barcelona beyond 2023, when the contract ended.

Fernandes demands Man Utd signings are 'hungry for titles' - Goal Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:29 PM PDT ![]() Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes has demanded the club's future signings have the same winning mentality that he has. The 25-year-old has made a stunning impact since moving to Old Trafford from Sporting in January - helping the Red Devils to an 11-match unbeaten streak and winning the Premier League's player of the month award for February. With Manchester United's future under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer looking bright, Fernandes has urged the club's hierarchy to ensure any squad additions have a single-minded focus to win championships. "We already have a big team, but whoever comes needs to come to win," Fernandes said in a Q&A on Man Utd's official website. "Just to focus to win, I want people hungry for titles and everything. "I feel this now in the group, everyone wants to win." Fernandes has slotted into the No.10 role at the Theatre of Dreams - scoring three goals and adding four assists in nine matches across all competitions. The Portugal international explained his desire to collect trophies in his career and was adamant the Red Devils had a talented mix of players with plenty of quality. "I want to win everything. I'm hungry to win everything. I came to Manchester to win, to win titles, league, Champions League, everything," Fernandes declared. "We know the potential Manchester have, because we are a young team, young players, but we've got a lot of quality. "It doesn't matter if we're young and the others have more experience than us, because we have also experienced players who can help the youngest. "The mix we have now and in the future, I don't know what will happen in the next season, of course Manchester is a big club and normally they buy someone because you are a big club and everyone wants to come here." With the Reds' other midfield star Paul Pogba suffering from a chronic ankle injury, Fernandes is yet to play alongside the French World Cup winner. He revealed he was excited to link up with Pogba once the football season resumes from its coronavirus-forced hiatus. "I think we have a lot of good players in the midfield," Fernandes said. "Obviously Paul is injured from a long time [ago], and all we know is he has a lot of qualities. "Paul is a top player and Manchester United pay a lot for him, and expectations are a lot for him. "It's normal when you are in that situation you don't play like a superstar, because everyone expects from Paul like they expect from [Cristiano] Ronaldo at Juventus or [Lionel] Messi at Barcelona. "Everyone expects this from Paul in Manchester, because they know he has the qualities for this. Also this is confidence in Paul. The team, we have a lot of confidence in Paul."

Trump's big show of opening the economy will hide the real story - CNN Posted: 15 Apr 2020 11:12 PM PDT Even with epicenters of the virus still suffering hundreds of deaths daily, Trump says it's time to show that America is the "comeback kid" ready to unleash a miracle economic rebirth. The President plans to release new guidelines that tell states they can lift stay-at-home orders and ease social distancing at the discretion of their governors even before a May 1 deadline. This ought to be a major and unifying marker in the fight against the disease that has now killed more than 30,000 Americans and has clamped economic blight on the nation. But with many states only just at or past their peaks in the fight against the pathogen, and others still short of theirs, Trump's move risks coming across as a major distraction. Multiple governors said Wednesday that their states are nowhere near opening, with some warning their coronavirus cases had yet to peak. Trump cited good news of a slowing curve in Washington, DC. But Mayor Muriel Bowser on Wednesday extended the district's state of emergency until May 15. Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti told CNN he might ban sports events until 2021. And doctors and nurses on the frontlines endured another day of agony and fear of infection. The fact that it is constitutionally superfluous for Trump to authorize states to open up suggests his real intent is an election-year political device that positions him as leading the resurgence and those who oppose him as laggards holding America back. "We're going to be announcing guidelines, and we'll be talking about various states, and it's very exciting," Trump said in another rambunctious Rose Garden news conference Wednesday. "We will be the comeback kids, all of us, all of us. It's incredible, what's going on," Trump said. "Tomorrow is going to be a very big day ... We will have some openings that will ... exceed our expectations, and they will be safe." The political context of Trump's remarks is important because it backs up reporting, including by CNN, that nothing will deflect the President from his desire to open up the country on May 1 and that he is working from personal motivations rather than solid data. Wednesday's news conference, like at least its two predecessors, was an exercise in airing grievances and creating soundbites for conservative media. On Monday, Trump blasted accurate news coverage of his botched initial handling of the pandemic. The next day, he blamed the World Health Organization for being slow to react and cosseting China -- transgressions of which he is also guilty. And on Wednesday he launched an assault on US-funded international broadcaster Voice of America and threatened a constitutional attempt to shut down Congress if the Senate did not approve his appointees. None of these actions will save American lives or even get the economy powering ahead again. But they do distract from rising criticism and factual evidence that he has mishandled the pandemic all along. Reasons for optimismThe President seized on encouraging statistics on Wednesday showing the curve of infection plateauing in some hard-hit hotspots across the country, such as New York and California. Feared hospital overcrowding and shortages of equipment that could force doctors into decisions about who lives and dies appear to have been mitigated by overwhelming observances of stay-at-home orders that have flattened the curve. There is no doubt that after grim weeks of escalation, there are some grounds for optimism. Presidents have an important job in raising national morale. And the economic impact of shutdowns is cataclysmic, throwing many millions out of work. But a pandemic does not just disappear. Details of state planning suggests that life will not get back to anywhere near normal until there is a vaccine -- probably not until next year. That means social distancing measures will remain in place. Many people will work from home and bars and restaurants will be only at reduced capacity if they can open at all. Americans are still dying in droves. The President is correct to say large numbers of rural states and counties are not badly hit by the disease, that does not mean that it will not prolong its march across the country. Each state and region may face a different timeline. And while Trump's plan allows for such variance, his constant pushing to get the country back to work could make it far harder for local authorities to convince their people to stay hunkered down. Trump's eagerness to seize upon the most favorable data that supports his desired course of action is also reminiscent of the early months of this year, when the President insisted that the coronavirus would not be a big problem for the US and that it was under control. That prediction proved disastrously wrong and raised questions about his leadership that Trump now spends each day trying to discredit. State and local leaders and experts have warned that an easing of social distancing regulations could spark a resurgence in the virus. The governors, mayors and doctors have to live in the real world. Trump can exist in the more favorable political one that he creates. By giving states guidelines on opening up, he effectively absolves himself of responsibility for the final decision. It's a political position that allows him to blame others for the halted economy. It delights his conservative base, media and big business that is craving for a return to work. And his new guidelines will give him leeway to pass the buck to someone else if a state does decide to open prematurely and gets a spike in infections. From a purely political perspective -- which is the one that the President normally operates from -- there's not much to lose. Why it's still too early to be openingSeveral academic and expert studies have concluded that the only safe way to open the nation's economy will be a mass testing system that can track, isolate and trace coronavirus infections that will occur as society gets going again. Trump boasted on Wednesday that by volume America had the most and best tests in the world -- more than 3.3 million conducted so far. But experts believe millions per day or a week will be required. Business executives told the President in a call on Wednesday that they would need guarantees of enhanced testing before sending their employees back to work. Yet Trump refused to explain how the government will expand the misfiring testing program. And says it is all up to the states to get it right anyway, again absolving himself of responsibility. "We want them to do it. We're not going to be running a parking lot in Arkansas, we're not going to be running a parking lot where you have a Walmart ... but you have a testing center and running that from Washington, DC," Trump said. Robert Redfield, director of the US Centers of Disease Control and Prevention, offered little confidence in an interview with CBS' "This Morning" that the medical infrastructure is up to a widespread reopening. "It's going to be really important to get a few things in place: more obviously testing for early diagnostics, expand the public health capacity for early diagnosis, isolation and contact tracing," Redfield said. "This is going to be fundamental to maintain and contain cases as they occur. And then make sure we have the health capacity to deal with this, as we work to regain the confidence of the American public that it's safe to go back to work," he added. CNN reported Wednesday that governors and state health officials feel misled by the White House about a rapid, toaster-size testing device made by Abbott Laboratories and unveiled as a "whole new ballgame" by the President. The federal government distributed the machines nationwide last week -- but accompanied them with only enough test kits to test around 115 people in each state. Medical experts are warning that hospitals still lack sufficient tests to diagnose the sick, let alone to cover the rest of the population. "We have made quite a bit of progress in the last few weeks. We are still not anywhere close to testing everyone who needs to be tested," said Dr. Jennifer Lee, an emergency room physician, on CNN's "The Situation Room." "Let's stop pretending that three million tests is enough. We need the capacity to do millions of tests if not per day, per week," Lee said, adding that sometimes a hospital might have sufficient tests kits but lack swabs, or labs might lack supplies to process the tests so that doctors can make a diagnosis. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, a Democrat, warned on Wednesday that there would only be a phased reopening of his state until a vaccine became available. "The more testing, the more opening of the economy," Cuomo said.

夫感染の赤江珠緒「家族を優先」番組出演当面控える - 日刊スポーツ Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:55 PM PDT 夫感染の赤江珠緒「家族を優先」番組出演当面控える - 日刊スポーツ フリーアナウンサー赤江珠緒(45)が16日、パーソナリティーを務めるTBSラジオ「赤江珠緒たまむすび」(月~金曜午後1時)にメッセージを寄せ、夫が新型コロナウイルスに感染したと報告した。 赤江の夫はテレビ朝日系報道番組「報道ステーション」で総合演出を担当しており、前日15日に同番組のチーフプロデューサー(CP)とともに新型コロナウイルスへの感染が明らかになっていた。赤江は「お休みして、家族のことを優先させていただきます」と番組への出演を当面、控える考えを明らかにした。 赤江のメッセージは15日深夜に書かれたもので、A4の用紙5枚に及ぶ長文となり、同局の外山恵理アナ(44)が代読した。その中で、赤江は「今週、月曜日から出社できず、ご心配をおかけしております。PCR検査の結果が出ましたのでご報告させていただきます。わが家の状況は、夫が陽性で感染していました。11日土曜日から発症し、現在、熱が上がったり下がったりという状態です」と夫の状況を説明した。 その上で「夫の検査結果が出てからも、しばらく自宅で過ごしておりましたので私と娘も検査してもらえるよう、現在も自宅で待機しております。夫と私の発症のペースがずれることを祈るばかり」とも語った。 そして、赤江は「未知の病ということで、周囲の目が他の病よりも気になりますよね。私の場合は実名で報じられますので、選択の余地はないのですが、いまだにかかったことを周囲に知られたくないと言う方も少なくないと聞きます」と指摘。その上で「実際に私のように現実に迫ってくると、その心理も分からなくもないです。例えば、防護服姿も日常生活では見慣れていなくて、保健所から家の前に迎えが来るという状況になったら、誰かの迷惑にならないかとか余計なことを考えてしまいました」と、社会が新型コロナウイルスに対し、過敏になっているとつづった。 その上で「そういう思いが強まりすぎて、状況をひた隠しにすればするほど、この病の実態は世の中に見えてこない気もしています。できるだけ他人にうつさないように細心の注意を払うべきですが、それでもかかってしまうのが世界の状況です」と指摘。「感染ルートをたどる意義もあるでしょう。でも、誰が誰にうつした、この人の前の、その前は誰? という過剰な犯人捜しは今、この時点において必要でしょうか? もちろん、かからないことがベストですが、その1番の目標の元に、かかった場合、なるべく体力的にも精神的も軽めに直すという、2番目の目標を掲げる時期にきていると思います」と、感染者の回復に力を入れるフェイズ(段階)に入ったのではないか、との見方を示した。 赤江は13日の放送に電話出演した際「うちの夫の職場で陽性反応の方が出まして。この週末に夫も体調を崩しまして、朝に熱が出て夜になると高熱が続いて。で、味も…と言い始めたんです。これはまずいな。状況をみているとかかっているんだろうなという感じ」と報告。夫は軽い肺炎と診断され、PCR検査を受けることができたが、結果が出るのは4日後になると説明していた。 この日、外山と共演した土屋礼央は、テレワーク出演の実験のために、別のスタジオから出演した。 2020-04-16 04:50:00Z https://news.google.com/__i/rss/rd/articles/CBMiRGh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm5pa2thbnNwb3J0cy5jb20vZW50ZXJ0YWlubWVudC9uZXdzLzIwMjAwNDE2MDAwMDI4My5odG1s0gFKaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubmlra2Fuc3BvcnRzLmNvbS9tL2VudGVydGFpbm1lbnQvbmV3cy9hbXAvMjAyMDA0MTYwMDAwMjgzLmh0bWw?oc=5 |

Alex Brandon/AP; Fabrice Coffrini/AFP via Getty Images hide caption On Tuesday, President Trump said he's suspending U.S. funding for the World Health Organization. He said the agency has "mismanaged" the pandemic, has been slow to respond to the crisis and is "China-centric." We looked at the public record to see what Trump and the WHO had to say over the past 15 weeks about the coronavirus pandemic. Here's a timeline highlighting key quotes. Jan. 5 The WHO reported a "pneumonia of unknown cause" in Wuhan, China. The health organization advised against restrictions to China: "WHO advises against the application of any travel or trade restrictions on China based on the current information available on this event." Jan. 9 The WHO released a statement announcing the source of the disease: "Chinese authorities have made a preliminary determination of a novel (or new) coronavirus, identified in a hospitalized person with pneumonia in Wuhan." It added: "In the coming weeks, more comprehensive information is required to understand the current status and epidemiology of the outbreak, and the clinical picture." ![]() A security guard stands outside the Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market, where the novel coronavirus was detected in Wuhan, China.

It's one person coming in from China, and we have it under control. It's going to be just fine." Jan. 23 WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said in a statement that it was too early to declare the coronavirus outbreak a public health emergency of international concern. "Make no mistake. This is an emergency in China, but it has not yet become a global health emergency. It may yet become one." ![]() The Hankou Railway Station in Wuhan on Jan. 22. Stringer/Getty Images hide caption Jan. 24 In a tweet, Trump praised China for its efforts to prevent the spread of the virus. "China has been working very hard to contain the Coronavirus. The United States greatly appreciates their efforts and transparency. It will all work out well. In particular, on behalf of the American People, I want to thank President Xi!" Jan. 29 Dr. Mike Ryan, head of the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme, said, "The whole world needs to be on alert now. The whole world needs to take action and be ready for any cases that come from the epicenter or other epicenter that becomes established." Jan. 30 At a campaign rally in Iowa, Trump talked about the U.S. partnership with China to control the disease. "We only have five people. Hopefully, everything's going to be great. They have somewhat of a problem, but hopefully, it's all going to be great. But we're working with China, just so you know, and other countries very, very closely. So it doesn't get out of hand." Tedros announced that the outbreak had become a "public health emergency of international concern over the global outbreak of novel coronavirus." Feb. 2 In an interview with Sean Hannity, Trump said, "We pretty much shut it down coming in from China." His executive order banning anyone who has been in China in the previous 14 days — with exceptions, including for U.S. citizens, lawful permanent residents and their close family members — went into effect. Feb. 4 At a WHO briefing, Tedros urged that there be no travel bans. "We reiterate our call to all countries not to impose restrictions that unnecessarily interfere with international travel and trade. Such restrictions can have the effect of increasing fear and stigma, with little public health benefit. ... Where such measures have been implemented, we urge that they are short in duration, proportionate to the public health risks and are reconsidered regularly as the situation evolves." Feb. 10 At a campaign rally in Manchester, N.H., Trump said: "Looks like by April, you know, in theory, when it gets a little warmer, it miraculously goes away. I hope that's true. But we're doing great in our country. China, I spoke with President Xi, and they're working very, very hard. And I think it's going to all work out fine." Feb. 11 At a WHO briefing, Tedros urged world leaders to give priority to containing the virus: "To be honest, a virus is more powerful in creating political, economic and social upheaval than any terrorist attack. A virus can have more powerful consequences than any terrorist action, and that's true. If the world doesn't want to wake up and consider this enemy virus as Public Enemy Number 1, I don't think we will learn our lessons." Feb. 13 In an interview with Geraldo Rivera, Trump characterized the threat of the virus in the U.S. by saying: "In our country, we only have, basically, 12 cases, and most of those people are recovering and some cases fully recovered. So it's actually less." Feb. 24 In a tweet, Trump wrote, "The Coronavirus is very much under control in the USA. We are in contact with everyone and all relevant countries. CDC & World Health have been working hard and very smart. Stock Market starting to look very good to me!" Feb. 26 In a news conference, Trump said: "When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done." Feb. 28 The WHO raises the global risk of the coronavirus from "high" to "very high." March 5 In a WHO briefing, Tedros praised China and the U.S. for taking "the right approach." He said: "After our visit to Beijing and seeing China's approach, and President Xi leading that, and also in the U.S., President Trump himself, and also for regular coordination, designating the vice president. These are the approaches we're saying are the right ones, and these are the approaches we're saying are going to mobilize the whole government." In a Fox News town hall, Trump said, "It's going to all work out. Everybody has to be calm. It's all going to work out." ![]() Customers line up to buy water and other supplies in Burbank, Calif., on March 6 in reaction to fears that the novel coronavirus would spread and force people to stay indoors.

And we're prepared, and we're doing a great job with it. And it will go away. Just stay calm. It will go away." March 11 Trump said in an Oval Office address: "The vast majority of Americans, the risk is very, very low." Tedros said the WHO had "made the assessment that COVID-19 can be characterized as a pandemic." ![]() A digital sign on March 28 directs patients to the drive-through coronavirus test site at Stony Brook University in New York.

And we cannot stop this pandemic if we don't know who is infected," Tedros said at a briefing in Geneva. He added, "We have a simple message for all countries: test, test, test. Test every suspected case." At a press briefing, Trump issued orders to control the spread of the virus in the U.S.: "My administration is recommending that all Americans, including the young and healthy, work to engage in schooling from home when possible. Avoid gathering in groups of more than 10 people. Avoid discretionary travel. And avoid eating and drinking at bars, restaurants and public food courts. If everyone makes this change or these critical changes and sacrifices now, we will rally together as one nation and we will defeat the virus. And we're going to have a big celebration all together. With several weeks of focused action, we can turn the corner and turn it quickly." March 17 Trump told reporters: "This is a pandemic. ... I felt it was a pandemic long before it was called a pandemic." ![]() Pat Herrick holds a photo of her mom, Elaine Herrick, 89, a resident of Life Care Center who died of complications from COVID-19.

The FDA has moved mountains - Thank You! Hopefully they will BOTH (H works better with A, International Journal of Antimicrobial Agents)....." March 23 In a WHO briefing, Tedros said, "Using untested medicines without the right evidence could raise false hope and even do more harm than good." He also said that the "pandemic is accelerating. ... It took 67 days from the first reported case to reach the first 100,000 cases, 11 days for the second 100,000 cases and just four days for the third 100,000 cases." March 24 Trump said: "Easter is a very special day for me. And I see it sort of in that timeline that I'm thinking about. And I say, wouldn't it be great to have all of the churches full?" March 26 "We are at war with a virus that threatens to tear us apart," said Tedros to world leaders in a special virtual summit on the COVID-19 pandemic. April 6 Dr. Mike Ryan, head of the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme, said you can't lift a lockdown all at once. "You need to say, 'We will stop doing this element of the shutdown, and then we will wait, and we will look at the data. If that works, we go to the next stage and the next stage.' So a careful, calibrated stepwise exit from lockdown." April 7 Trump criticized the WHO for mishandling the pandemic. "The WHO really blew it. For some reason, funded largely by the United States, yet very China-centric. We will be giving that a good look. Fortunately, I rejected their advice on keeping our borders open to China early on. Why did they give us such a faulty recommendation?" April 8 "Please don't politicize this virus," Tedros said in a briefing in Geneva after he was asked about Trump's remarks the day before. He later urged political leaders to "please quarantine politicizing COVID." April 14 "Today I am instructing my administration to halt funding of the World Health Organization while a review is conducted to assess the World Health Organization's role in severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus," Trump said in a briefing at the White House. April 15 "We regret the decision of the president of the United States to order a halt in funding to the World Health Organization," said Tedros at a news conference. Responding to the U.S. accusations, Ryan of the WHO said, "In the first weeks of January, the WHO was very, very clear." "We alerted the world on January the 5th," Ryan said. "Systems around the world, including the U.S., began to activate their incident management systems on January the 6th. And through the next number of weeks, we've produced multiple updates to countries, including briefing multiple governments, multiple scientists around the world, on the developing situation — and that is what it was, a developing situation." In an interview with NPR that will air on April 16, the U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Craft, stated: "[The World Health Organization] was not accurate.

Taxfix raises $65 million for its mobile tax filing app - TechCrunch Posted: 15 Apr 2020 10:10 PM PDT Berlin-based startup Taxfix has raised a $65 million Series C funding round. Index Ventures is leading the round with Neil Rimer joining the board. The company started its fundraising process before the coronavirus process and managed to sign all contracts a few days ago. As the name suggests, Taxfix thinks filing taxes remains broken in many countries. The company has built a mobile app that helps you through the process. There's also a web version if you prefer. The app asks you simple questions to maximize your tax refunds. As you start answering questions, Taxfix selects the next relevant questions and hides questions that don't apply to your current situation. Taxfix accepts photos of your payslip so that you don't have to file forms. It then submits your filing to the tax office. Taxfix costs €34.99 when the app calculates at least €50 in tax returns. It's a pretty low threshold, so most users probably pay €35 at the end of the process. Taxfix is currently live in Germany, France and Italy. Overall, the startup has helped collect €270 million for hundreds of thousands of users. The company isn't competing with people who have already been filing tax returns every year. Many people are just too lazy to file tax returns altogether — they represent the core audience of Taxfix. Many software companies have built tax return apps for U.S. taxpayers. But Europe is a fragmented market when it comes to taxes. That's why there are fewer tax return apps in Europe than in the U.S. Taxfix now plans to expand to more European countries, adapting its product to local regulation in different markets. The company plans to expand its team by adding 100 employees on top of its team of 200 employees. Existing investors Valar Ventures, Creandum and Redalpine are also participating in today's funding round.

Britney Spears dances to 'genius' Justin Timberlake's 'Filthy' on IG - Page Six Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:56 PM PDT Britney Spears dances to 'genius' Justin Timberlake's 'Filthy' on IG - Page Six ![]() Better late than never. Britney Spears has, at long last, offered her support to Justin Timberlake's "Man of the Woods" and its lead single "Filthy," two years after the song's release date. Spears broke her historic silence on Instagram Wednesday evening, posting a clip of herself … grooving to the song on her back porch. "This is my version of Snapchat or TikTok or whatever the cool thing you're supposed to do these days [is]," Spears, 38, wrote. "As you can see I'm not really dancing folks … I'm just very bored." "PS I know we had one of the world's biggest breakups 20 years ago," the missive continues, "but hey the man is a genius !!!! Great song JT" "Pssss if you KNOW WHAT'S GOOD," Spears finishes her note, cryptically. "Blogs are already plotting their outrageous stories," Spears' sister, Jamie Lynn, commented. "You keep having fun and looking cute tho!!" (Editor's note: We were not.) Spears then posted a follow-up video, indicating she performed 13 turns while continuing her listen of the song. Spears and Timberlake dated for approximately three years, breaking up in 2002. "Filthy" debuted at number 9 on the "Billboard" Hot 100 in January 2018 and reached the top 5 in Canada. Timberlake eventually responded to Spears' crucial 11th-hour approbation with a cry-laughing emoji and several praise-hands emoji. 2020-04-15 23:24:12Z https://news.google.com/__i/rss/rd/articles/CBMiVWh0dHBzOi8vcGFnZXNpeC5jb20vMjAyMC8wNC8xNS9icml0bmV5LXNwZWFycy1qdXN0aW4tdGltYmVybGFrZXMtZmlsdGh5LWEtZ3JlYXQtc29uZy_SAVlodHRwczovL3BhZ2VzaXguY29tLzIwMjAvMDQvMTUvYnJpdG5leS1zcGVhcnMtanVzdGluLXRpbWJlcmxha2VzLWZpbHRoeS1hLWdyZWF0LXNvbmcvYW1wLw?oc=5 |
Postponing the Cannes Film Festival to this summer is ‘no longer an option’ - The Washington Post Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:56 PM PDT Postponing the Cannes Film Festival to this summer is 'no longer an option' - The Washington Post ![]() Organizers seemed to hint at this virtual market in the Tuesday release, stating that they have been speaking with industry professionals and plan to "explore all contingencies allowing to support the year of Cinema by making Cannes 2020 real, in a way or another." Cannes is the latest industry event to be impacted by a wave of postponements and cancellations that began in earnest with the early March axing of South by Southwest. Widely regarded as one of the most distinguished festivals in global cinema, Cannes operates alongside parallel programs including the Directors' Fortnight and Critics' Week — both of which have been canceled. "It's impossible to project ourselves in the short term: the fall festivals could all get canceled, or we could start seeing a clearer sky with the arrival of summer," Fremaux said, adding: "What each and everyone must understand is that if we fight, it's not [for] the festival itself, but to support the economic relaunch of the whole sector, on a global scale — the films, the artists, the professionals, the theaters and their audiences." 2020-04-15 20:47:07Z https://news.google.com/__i/rss/rd/articles/CBMiZWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lndhc2hpbmd0b25wb3N0LmNvbS9hcnRzLWVudGVydGFpbm1lbnQvMjAyMC8wNC8xNS9jYW5uZXMtZmlsbS1mZXN0aXZhbC1wb3N0cG9uZWQtY2FuY2VsZWQv0gF0aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cud2FzaGluZ3RvbnBvc3QuY29tL2FydHMtZW50ZXJ0YWlubWVudC8yMDIwLzA0LzE1L2Nhbm5lcy1maWxtLWZlc3RpdmFsLXBvc3Rwb25lZC1jYW5jZWxlZC8_b3V0cHV0VHlwZT1hbXA?oc=5 |

I have chills from that ending, youze guyz. It has been a long time since I was this excited by the premiere episode of a Real Housewives franchise. After several seasons of Rich Women Doing Things delivering us nothing but rich women doing things, it seems like, this season, the rich women are going to do not just things, but everything. Rich Women Doing Everything You Ever Wanted. It all goes down in the very last seconds of the episode, after the end of Kyle Richards's very amateur mall-courtyard fashion show at New York Fashion Week. All of the women walked in the show modeling Kyle's Kreations, which was a hodgepodge of ruffles, bright colors, nautical-themed prints, leotards, bustiers, muumuus, silk robes in eye-watering prints, and one dress whose bodice seemed to be made entirely of the seashell-shaped decorative soaps in your Aunt Nancy's guest bathroom. |

Best centers in San Antonio Spurs history, ranked - ClutchPoints Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:54 PM PDT Best centers in San Antonio Spurs history, ranked - ClutchPoints The San Antonio Spurs aren't a big-market franchise, but they they have five NBA championships, which ranks fifth among all teams in league history. Of course, all five of the titles came from 1999 through 2014, so prior to Tim Duncan's arrival in 1997, the Spurs didn't really have a very extensive history. However, a lot of terrific players have walked through their doors, especially in the frontcourt. Here are the five greatest centers in Spurs history: 5. Tiago Splitter You can say whatever you want about Tiago Splitter. Yes, he was the butt of some jokes from Stephen A. Smith in the very early stages of his career, but he went on to become a very good player and was a critical piece on that 2014 Spurs team that steamrolled its way to a title. Splitter entered the league with San Antonio in 2010 and did not have a very long run with the club, lasting just five seasons before being traded to the Atlanta Hawks. However, during his time with the tea, he was a versatile threat. No, he wasn't much of a shooter, but Splitter was a terrific passer and a very intelligent player on both ends of the floor. He could defend multiple positions, guarded the pick-and-roll very well and always seemed to be in the right place. He also tremendously improved his free-throw shooting, going from a 57.4 percent shooter during his rookie campaign to a 75 percent shooter in his final year with San Antonio in 2014-15. Splitter only averaged double figures once in his career, but there was no doubting his impact. As a matter of fact, he averaged a robust .178 win shares per 48 minutes over the course of his seven-year NBA tenure. 4. Artis Gilmore His best years may have come with the Kentucky Colonels (an ABA team) and the Chicago Bulls, but Artis Gilmore still had a solid five-year run with the Spurs between 1982 and 1987. Gilmore led the NBA in field-goal percentage twice with San Antonio and averaged double-doubles in each of his first three seasons there. He also made a pair of All-Star appearances. A Hall of Famer, Gilmore was incredibly durable to boot. He played three full 82-game campaigns with the Spurs, and in one of the only two seasons he didn't manage to do that, he appeared in 81 contests. Unlike most of the other players on this list, Gilmore never won a title in San Antonio, but he did lead the Spurs to the playoffs four times and was a very consistent member of the team. Typically, people know LaMarcus Aldridge as a power forward. After all, that was the position he played during his days with the Portland Trail Blazers and he has played the 4 quite a bit in San Antonio. However, in the modern NBA where space and pace reigns king, Aldridge has gone on to play a good deal of center since joining the Spurs in 2015. One of the smoothest frontcourt scorers of his time, Aldridge has actually probably been a bit underappreciated throughout his career. No, he has never been a superstar and he probably isn't the No. 1 guy on a title-contending team, but he has regularly averaged around 20 points per game (if not more) while shooting in the neighborhood of 50 percent from the floor for the last decade. Not only that, but Aldridge has improved dramatically on the defensive end since linking up with San Antonio, allowing him to stay on the court against small-ball lineups. Aldridge's prime may have been in Portland, but his game definitely evolved a bit with the Spurs, as he has extended his range beyond the 3-point line in addition to getting better on D. 2. David Robinson Ah, The Admiral. It's hard not to like David Robinson, who is genuinely one of the classiest and nicest guys to ever set foot on the hardwood. But make no mistake: he was bad man on the court. Robinson spent his entire 14-year NBA career with the Spurs, making 10 All-Star teams and winning a couple of championships in 1999 and 2003. He was never able to get over the hump without Duncan, but that doesn't change the fact that Robinson was a walking double-double, an MVP award winner and a dominant defensive force. Over the first seven years of his career, Robinson averaged no less than 23 points per game, even leading the NBA with 29.8 points per contest during the 1993-94 campaign. The Hall-of-Famer boasts career averages of 21.1 points, 10.6 rebounds and a hefty three blocks per game. Oh, and he also lived at the charity stripe, averaging 8.3 free-throw attempts a night — making 73.6 percent of them. 1. Tim Duncan Yes, Duncan is mainly known as the best power forward of all-time, but many people seem to neglect the fact that he played a whole lot of center throughout his 19-year NBA career with the Spurs. Now that you know the reason for his inclusion, not much more needs to be said. Duncan is not only the greatest player in franchise history, but he is one of the best players in NBA history, period. He has a legitimate argument for top-five all-time and also has a real case when debating the best player of the post-Michael Jordan era. The Big Fundamental, who was just recently inducted into the Hall of Fame, led San Antonio to all five of its titles and won a pair of MVP awards during his tenure. ![]() ![]() 2020-04-15 23:32:48Z https://clutchpoints.com/best-centers-in-san-antonio-spurs-history-ranked/ |
Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:42 PM PDT ![]() Apple has updated the little iPhone SE for 2020, and even an Android fan has to see that it's a great phone at an even greater price of $399 for the base model. It's essentially an iPhone 8 with one big difference: it has Apple's A13 Bionic chip buried inside. And that's a big deal for a number of reasons. I expect that some people are going to tell me about single thread versus multi-threaded performance and how the A13 GPU isn't that great or how iPhones have much lower resolution screens so the chips don't have to work as hard. All this is true, but another thing is true: the A13 is a stronger chip than the Snapdragon 865 for daily use in every category — we've seen this applied in real life in the iPhone 11 already. The only area it misses out is 5G, and that's because Apple just doesn't care about 5G yet. (The rumored iPhone 12 will almost certainly have a Qualcomm 5G chipset inside, for what it's worth.)
Nerdy things like CPU threads aside, you'll notice how well the new iPhone SE performs when you use it. Everything in a modern smartphone from web browsing to camera performance to less-used things like AR depends on the processor. You need to crunch numbers really fast if you want your phone to respond really fast. The $399 iPhone SE will be able to do these things faster than the new OnePlus 8 Pro or the Samsung Galaxy S20+. It sounds crazy to say that Apple including its expensive new chip in its budget phone makes sense, but it does. Apple has but a single processor to design, manufacture, support, store, and deliver. The cost over an older chip like the A11 is surely significant, but isn't going to be as high as supporting and shipping that A11 in what will likely be a very popular smartphone.
What sounds less crazy, and great to consumers, is that by using the A13 Apple can support the iPhone SE for years — and this phone will outlive the iPhone 8 it is slated to replace for a handful of extra years because of the new chip. Basically, if the iPhone 11 can get updated, so can the iPhone SE. This is cool to hear today, but it will be really important in three years when another version of iOS is released and your $399 iPhone gets it on day one. All of these reasons are also why it's so important that Google finds a way to build its own chips for its smartphones. It's been recently rumored (again) that Google is doing just that and has designed a new 5nm chip that will soon begin production for 2021 phones. This would allow Google to provide as many software updates as it pleases as well as build an in-house version of Android tailored for specific hardware that it controls.
Building your own mobile chipset brings many advantages, and Apple is leveraging them today. Google really needs to do the same, and soon. It isn't guaranteed to be a win, as we've watched Samsung historically struggle with its in-house developed Exynos processors, but the potential upside is clearly there. The iPhone SE may not be a better phone than something like the latest Pixel, Galaxy or OnePlus. It has a lesser screen, weaker single camera, doesn't have the wealth of OS features we've come to expect from an Android flagship, and you're still stuck with a lightning connector instead of a universal solution in USB-C. But when it comes to processor performance and future-proofing for software updates, the iPhone SE beats that Android flagship you're holding right now.

'We Alerted The World' To Coronavirus On Jan. 5, WHO Says In Response To U.S. - NPR Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:12 PM PDT ![]() Experts from the World Health Organization say they gave explicit warnings about the risks of the COVID-19 outbreak in early January. They said this after President Trump this week accused the agency of obscuring the truth. Above: the WHO's headquarters in Geneva. Fabrice Coffrini/AFP via Getty Images hide caption "We regret the decision of the president of the United States to order a halt in funding to the World Health Organization," WHO Direct0r-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said Wednesday in response to President Trump's plan to stop U.S. money from going to the agency. The U.S. is the top contributor to the WHO, which is leading the fight against the COVID-19 global pandemic. On Tuesday, Trump accused the WHO of "severely mismanaging and covering up the spread of the coronavirus." He also said the organization is overly influenced by China and was too trusting of that country, particularly in the early phase of the outbreak. Through the middle of January, the president said, the WHO "parroted and publicly endorsed the idea that there was not human-to-human transmission happening despite reports and clear evidence to the contrary." The president also said the health agency had delayed raising the alarm on the threat posed by the new coronavirus, which is now confirmed to have infected more than 2 million people. Responding on Wednesday to a question about the U.S. accusations, Dr. Mike Ryan, executive director of the WHO's Health Emergencies Programme, said, "In the first weeks of January, the WHO was very, very clear." "We alerted the world on January the 5th," Ryan said. "Systems around the world, including the U.S., began to activate their incident management systems on January the 6th. And through the next number of weeks, we've produced multiple updates to countries, including briefing multiple governments, multiple scientists around the world, on the developing situation — and that is what it was, a developing situation." YouTube Trump said the WHO had "deprived the scientific community of essential data," accusing it of failing to obtain virus samples. To that charge, Ryan replied, "The virus was identified on January the 7th. The [genetic] sequence was shared on the 12th with the world." As for the guidance about human-to-human spread of the new virus, Ryan noted that in initial reports, there was no mention of human-to-human transmission. But he also said, "There is always a risk with respiratory pathogen that it can move from person to person." "When WHO issued its first guidance to countries, it was extremely clear that respiratory precautions should be taken in dealing with patients with this disease," Ryan said, "that labs needed to be careful in terms of their precautions and taking samples, because there was a risk that the disease could spread from person to person in those environments." At that point in the looming outbreak, Ryan said, the main question was still whether the virus would be able to efficiently spread in community environments — an ability it has since proved to have, to tragic effect. In early January, the disease was known only through a cluster of atypical pneumonia cases — pneumonia with an unknown origin. "There are literally millions and millions of cases of atypical pneumonia around the world every year," Ryan said, adding that in the middle of an influenza season, it was "quite remarkable" that a cluster of 41 confirmed cases was singled out in Wuhan, China. Questions about advice from the WHO during the early days of the outbreak recently prompted Maria Van Kerkhove, an emerging-disease expert who is the agency's technical lead on COVID-19, to review her first news conference about it, on Jan. 14. In that session, she discussed the questions that researchers were trying to answer about the virus, from the modes of transmission to the extent of infection in patients. "All of our guidance that was out before we did that press conference was about limiting exposure to people and to prevent transmission, particularly in health care settings," Van Kerkhove said. "We wanted to ensure that front-line workers were protected," she added, "so our guidance that was put out was about respiratory droplets and contact protection." "All of that was out on the 10th and the 11th of January," she said. Tedros did not dwell on Trump's accusations. Instead, he referred to the WHO's origins in the first years of the United Nations' existence and its mission of protecting public health. And while he called the U.S. "a long-standing and generous friend," Tedros also said the WHO is committed to working with all nations, "without fear or favor." "COVID-19 does not discriminate between rich nations and poor, large nations and small. It does not discriminate between nationalities, ethnicities or ideologies," Tedros said. "Neither do we. This is a time for all of us to be united in our common struggle against a common threat — a dangerous enemy." After the pandemic has finally been corralled, Tedros said, there will be time to review the WHO's performance — a process he said is routine after any disease outbreak. "No doubt, areas for improvement will be identified, and there will be lessons for all of us to learn," he said. "But for now, our focus — my focus — is on stopping this virus and saving lives." Critics are saying that by attacking the WHO, Trump is seeking to deflect blame away from his own administration's problems in containing COVID-19. The U.S. has more than 610,000 confirmed coronavirus cases — far more than any other country, according to Johns Hopkins University's COVID-19 dashboard. As the U.S death toll from COVID-19 soared past 26,000 on Wednesday, the White House issued a statement reiterating Trump's complaints about the WHO. When Tedros was asked what kind of financial impact the U.S. stance could have, he declined to give specifics, saying the WHO is now reviewing how its work might be affected by a withdrawal of U.S. funding. He added, "We'll work with our partners to fill any financial gaps we face and to ensure our work continues uninterrupted." A look at the WHO's most recent financial update suggests that lack of U.S. money would have a profound impact. In that report, the WHO lists some $5.6 billion in total contributions from members and foundations. The U.S. is responsible for nearly 15% of the WHO's funding in "specified voluntary contributions," which is by far the largest funding category, supporting specific disease programs and regional initiatives. The U.S. also accounts for 22% of the $1 billion that the WHO brings in through "assessed contributions" from member nations.

US explores possibility that coronavirus started in Chinese lab, not a market - CNN Posted: 15 Apr 2020 09:12 PM PDT ![]() The theory is one of multiple being pursued by investigators as they attempt to determine the origin of the coronavirus that has resulted in a pandemic and killed hundreds of thousands. The US does not believe the virus was associated with bioweapons research, and officials noted that the intelligence community is also exploring a range of other theories regarding the origination of the virus, as would typically be the case for high-profile incidents, according to an intelligence source. The theory has been pushed by supporters of the President, including some congressional Republicans, who are eager to deflect criticisms of Trump's handling of the pandemic. An intelligence official familiar with the government analysis said a theory US intelligence officials are investigating is that the virus originated in a laboratory in Wuhan, China, and was accidentally released to the public. Other sources told CNN that US intelligence hasn't been able to corroborate the theory but is trying to discern whether someone was infected in the lab through an accident or poor handling of materials and may have then infected others. US intelligence is reviewing sensitive intelligence collection aimed at the Chinese government, according to the intelligence source, as they pursue the theory. But some intelligence officials say it is possible the actual cause may never be known. Joint Chief of Staff Chairman Mark Milley acknowledged this week that US intelligence is taking "a hard look" at the question of whether the novel coronavirus originated in a lab. "I would just say, at this point, it's inconclusive although the weight of evidence seems to indicate natural (origin). But we don't know for certain," Milley told reporters on Tuesday. Asked about the intelligence, which was first reported by Yahoo and Fox News, President Donald Trump said on Wednesday that the US is "doing a very thorough examination of this horrible situation that happened" but refused to discuss what he had been told about the findings. The lab theory has been denied by the Chinese government and many outside experts have also cast doubt on the idea, CNN has previously reported. A source close to the White House coronavirus task force also cautioned that "every time there is an outbreak someone proposes that the virus or other pathogen came out of a lab." One official called the way China has handled dealing with the virus "completely reprehensible" -- and intelligence investigators are determined to build a fuller picture of how it originated. The Washington Post has reported on State Department cables from 2018 demonstrating concerns about the safety and the management of the Wuhan Institute of Virology biolab. When asked about those cables, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo -- who has continued to call the coronavirus the "Wuhan virus" -- did not dismiss them, but neither did he say that they show any legitimate linkage to Covid-19. "The Chinese Communist Party didn't give Americans access when we needed it in that most timely point at the very beginning," Pompeo said earlier this week. "Then we know they have this lab. We know about the wet (fresh food) markets. We know that the virus itself did originate in Wuhan. So all those things come together. There's still a lot we don't know, and this is what the President was talking about today. We need to know answers to these things."

Indonesia to bring 34 million people under partial lockdown - Laredo Morning Times Posted: 15 Apr 2020 07:42 PM PDT

A man loads a sack of rice on a motorcycle in front of a store in Jakarta, Indonesia, on April 7, 2020. Photo: Bloomberg Photo By Dimas Ardian.Indonesia expanded a partial lockdown to more areas near Jakarta, the epicenter of the country's coronavirus cases, as authorities stepped up efforts to restrict movement of people ahead of the nation's biggest festive season next month. More than 15 million people living in Bekasi, Bogor and Depok -- cities adjoining the national capital -- were brought under large scale social distancing rules on Wednesday. The stringent measures include a ban on public gatherings of more than five people, religious and social events and mandatory use of masks. Residents of other satellite towns near Jakarta will implement the partial lockdown on Friday and Pekanbaru, the first city outside the main island of Java, will roll out the measures on Saturday, according to the National Disaster Mitigation Agency. That would take the total number of people under tighter social distancing rules to 34 million, official data show. President Joko Widodo's administration also ordered airlines to limit the number of passengers to 50% of aircraft capacity to make travel difficult and more expensive. The government is also open to banning an annual ritual of millions of people traveling to their hometowns this year amid risk of fanning infections, Coordinating Minister of Maritime Affairs and Investment Luhut Pandjaitan said. "It is not impossible, say by next week or later on, the government may decide against the exodus," Pandjaitan told reporters on Tuesday. "If the flow of people doesn't subside, we can put a halt to it." While Jokowi, as the president is known, has rejected calls for the kinds of travel restrictions and regional quarantines imposed in other parts of the world, he's banned government employees, military and police personnel and those employed by state-owned companies from traveling during Ramadan, while appealing to the general public to avoid trips in view of the pandemic. Late spring is typically a peak travel time, as roughly one out of every eight Indonesians head home ahead of Eid al-Fitr, the Muslim festival marking the end of Ramadan. Healthcare experts have called for a ban on the exodus, known as mudik, as it could spread the virus to more areas. An estimated 19.5 million people traveled to their hometowns from big cities like Jakarta during last year's Eid. In areas under stringer social distancing rules, trains, cars and buses are now only allowed to carry half the seating capacity and public transport is operating for fewer hours. But the measures are not enough to stop the exodus and only an outright ban with stiff penalties can dissuade people from travel, said Darmaningtyas, chairman of the Institute of Transportation Studies. "People want to go home because there are no jobs in Jakarta and other cities," Darmaningtyas said. "Meanwhile, government aid has yet to be delivered and that's prompting people to return to their villages." Jokowi has rolled out a slew of social safety net and income support measures for daily wage earners, informal sector workers and street hawkers to prevent them from fleeing the cities. An estimated 2.8 million people have become jobless after the outbreak of the virus in Indonesia. The pandemic has killed 469 people in the world's fourth-most populous nation, the most in Asia after China with more than 5,000 confirmed cases. The Greater Jakarta area is the epicenter of the outbreak, accounting for more than two-thirds of infections and fatalities, official data show. Officials also agreed to postpone a vote for election of leaders to 270 regions, including provinces, regencies and cities, to Dec. 9 from Sept. 23 announced earlier, the Home Ministry said in a statement. The election may be further delayed to next year if the pandemic lasted longer, it said.

Viewpoint: This Is How It Looks When You're Not Afraid - GovExec.com Posted: 15 Apr 2020 07:12 PM PDT ![]() This reality does not make it possible to predict what Trump will do with Fauci—fire him, ignore him, give him buddylike Hey, we see things differently respect, or something else. Nothing about Trump is predictable, except his reduction of all discourse to the two themes of his own greatness and the unfairness of his critics. But it may explain why the familiar dynamics of Trump's unhappiness with underlings—first the retweets of criticism, then the "Behind you 1,000 percent!" show of public support, then the dismissal, then the anger and insults from Trump—could take a different course this time. In the nearly five years since Donald Trump came down the escalator to declare his candidacy, a set of iron laws has applied to those who enter his orbit. Rick Wilson, the former GOP strategist who is now a Trump nemesis, summed up the pattern in the title of his best-selling book from last year: Everything Trump Touches Dies. The details vary, but being tempted by Trump has turned into the modern version of the Faust saga. In exchange for benefits that seem glittery and attractive, people around Trump give away much more than they could have reckoned.
Romney was, of course, the GOP's presidential nominee before Trump—and before him was John McCain. Neither man now represents the party. Even the Republicans who are "concerned" by Trump—those running for another term in office, like Susan Collins or Cory Gardner or Ben Sasse; those who have decided to step down, like Lamar Alexander; those who have already stepped down, like Bob Corker or Jeff Flake—are guarded in their criticism. Lindsey Graham, a loyal sidekick to McCain during his years in office but now an even more loyal mascot for Trump, is the Mr. Republican of this age. The common theme that connects these people is that, one way or another, they have seemed afraid of Donald Trump. I am sure they would deny that if asked directly. But their actions are consistent with their being fearful of what would happen if they don't do what Trump wants, or tell him what he so desperately wants to hear. They may be afraid that he will attack them in a tweetstorm. Afraid that he will support a primary opponent. Afraid that they will be cut off from the social connectedness and the economic benefits of being a long-term part of the Republican team. Afraid … of something. Donald Trump is very obviously not a well-informed person ("A lot of people don't know this, but Abraham Lincoln was a Republican"). And he would fail most tests of evidence-based logical reasoning. But he has a natural talent for sizing up people, in a Who is the alpha dog? sense. Just as he clearly feels that Russian President Vladimir Putin is the alpha dog, to Trump's own beta, Trump can sense the submission from everyone around him in GOP politics. They may "privately" have contempt for his judgment and principles. They may call him a "moron" behind his back. But he knows that, if he's in a snarling match with one of them, the other will be the one to back down. Anyone behaves differently in the presence of any president. People who say that is not true have not had the experience. But Anthony Fauci has dealt with a lot of presidents before Trump. And as Michael Specter pointed out in a New Yorker profile of him this week:
When writing about the senators, representatives, and others in the Vichy Republican caucus—those who are already rich, who are from safe electoral districts, who are old enough that they don't need to worry about their next career step—I have often wondered, What are they saving up for? What's keeping them from taking a stand? Anthony Fauci is a test case of answering that question in what I consider the "logical" way. Although he looks fit and vital, he is 79 years old. He has held his current job for nearly four decades; he is not looking for another. He has already received the nation's highest civilian honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom—from George W. Bush. The only reputational risk he faces at this stage is doing something out of character with the reputation he has built. Fauci is a sophisticated bureaucratic operator, and he knows how to "tell them exactly what's the truth" as tactfully as he can. In his repeated press-briefing "corrections" of Trump's fantasies and misstatements, Fauci has made it sound as if he is saying, "Yes, and …" rather than "No, that's nuts." His occasional face-palm moments while Trump is riffing are little glimpses of indiscipline while not at the microphone. Onstage he is honest and polite. But politeness was not enough to shield his predecessors. And Fauci has clearly crossed a number of lines, any one of which was grounds for retaliation by Trump in other cases:
In all previous cases, even part of this list would be enough for Trump to act: First the tweets, then the comments, then he'd lower the boom. Can it happen with Fauci? As a technical matter, Fauci holds different bureaucratic status than a mere White House staffer or a regular political appointee. As Trump likes to put it, a president has an "absolute right" to dismiss one of his own Cabinet appointees or White House staffers. For a career director of an NIH institute, it's a more complicated matter. Even if Trump would have trouble removing Fauci from his day job, he could still deny him his daily airtime, or his place on the advisory panels. Obviously, doing so would be a huge disservice to the public. It would also seem pointless in practical terms—Fauci would be even freer to go on TV or radio whenever he wanted—and politically ruinous for Trump, given Fauci's high standing with viewers of all parties and even with interviewers on Fox (where over the years he has often been a guest). Any president starts to resent assistants who are seen as "indispensable"—thus Richard Nixon's love/hate relationship with Henry Kissinger during the Watergate decline—but most are canny enough to swallow that irritation, know that acting on it would only hurt them. And so we have an unusually clear test of which dominates for Trump: impulse or self-interest. His self-interest lies in working with Fauci. His impulses may lead him to dismiss Fauci. Brain versus gut? Reason versus resentment? We'll see which prevails. But in the interim, Fauci is offering an unusually clear lesson to all others who have submitted to Trump: This is how it looks when you're not afraid. Update: An hour-plus after I finished writing this on Monday, Fauci gave an introduction at the daily press briefing at which he seemed to walk back his "speaking truth to power" comments this weekend, about lives lost because mitigation efforts were delayed. Is this the moment when he, too, has decided to "preserve his influence" by curbing his tongue? A decision to do what it takes to remain one of the "adults in the room," similar to choices James Mattis made during his time? Was it the price he had to pay, to keep the president's ear? I'll watch it again closely, and the aftermath, to see. As I mentioned, Fauci is at a point in his career when the only personal risk he faces is to his reputation—and the difference he may believe he can make within Trump's circle rather than outside. This "preserving influence" / "adults in the room" calculation has turned out very badly for most who have worked with Trump, as explained above. Will this go from a counter-example to another instance? As I wrote when this piece went up, Fauci has been unique within Trump's circle in never seeming afraid. We'll see what the future portends.
