THREAD: This is the story of Zhang Chi, a 39-year-old Wuhan resident who first went to the hospital 10 days ago after developing a fever. He now has viral infections in both lungs but no official diagnosis, despite having visited half a dozen hospitals. 1/ sixthtone.com/news/1005149/t…
Jan. 21: Zhang was feeling feverish, so he went out to buy a thermometer. When his temperature read 38.5° C, he went straight to Hubei Xinhua Hospital, one of the province’s top medical institutions. 2/
Zhang’s home is around 1km from the South China Seafood Wholesale Market, to which the first infections were traced. Zhang and his friends had heard rumors of a mysterious pneumonia in Wuhan in late December, but they didn’t worry, and in fact joked about it. 3/

THREAD: The person Shanghai is trusting to keep the city safe from the Wuhan #coronavirus raised a few eyebrows while speaking to media today. So who is he, and what did he say? 1/ sixthtone.com/news/1005144/l…
His name is Zhang Wenhong, a leading infectious disease expert at the Fudan University-affiliated Huashan Hospital. He did his postdoc at Harvard’s Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and focuses on pathogenesis, specifically of viral hepatitis and tuberculosis. 2/
What did he say? 1st: that people shouldn’t freak out over the spike in confirmed infections. This doesn’t necessarily mean the virus is infecting more people, but rather that hospitals’ detection capabilities are improving, with #2019nCoV test kits now more readily available. 3/

THREAD about how the tragic death of a 23-year-old woman in rural Guizhou province has cast a pall over one of China’s most reputable charities. 1/
The Chinese internet is devastated and outraged after poor, severely malnourished #WuHuayan died of heart failure Monday — two months after netizens donated over $145,000 toward her medical treatment and general welfare. 2/
Wu, who lived in a village near the city of Tongren, became a semi-public figure in October because of her extreme poverty and small stature: She stood 135 centimeters tall and weighed just 21 kilograms. 3/

[#Thread] Welcome to night of the long threads part two, this one's on #Algeria. A few of you got in touch (@fatenaggad & @OpenAlgeriaOrg) to ask about the trend #كلنا_زغماتي , which translates as "we are all Zeghmati". Belkacem Zeghmati was appointed Attorney general earlier
2/ this year. However, Zeghmati is at odds with the country's judges after they went on strike after a huge reshuffle. The strike threatens the #December12 elections in Algeria, which are being opposed by the opposition who believe it will just lead to the continuation of an
3/ elite junta. So essentially, the hashtag "we are all Zeghmati" is seen as supporting the status quo, a quasi military government that doesn't represent the democratic demands by many Algerians. Anyway, next up is the analysis, which will add to a great one by @AymeneZermane

It has been suggested that Private Equity firm KKR is responsible for #CafeCoffeDay founder #VGSiddhartha's suicide.

The firm has come under scanner in our research in many aspects of National Security as well.

Here is a thread on the various operations of KKR in India
As per the report MO of foreign PE firms like KKR is to borrow money from Indian Banks at 8-9% and then lend it to Indian businesses at a whopping 20-25% - the high rates of interest makes it difficult for native business to survive or remain profitable to repay the lenders.
KKR is the second largest foreign PE investor in #CCD with 6.07% (1.28 crore shares) after selling approx 4.25% in Feb 2018, making at the time 10.3%. Foreign investors together hold 22.35% stake in #CafeCoffeeDay valued at Rs 724 crore.

Here is a #thread for the May 14th court proceedings in the trial for #NXIVM leader Keith Raniere. These are my notes after reading through the transcripts provided by court.
Court begins with an immediate sidebar which is redacted from the transcripts. After a discussion the jury is brought in and the judge explains an alternate juror was sick and they would adjourn for the day. The attorneys still have some things to discuss, however.
A discussion starts by assistant U.S. Attorney Moira Penza. She says some materials have to do with things recovered during a search warrant at Nancy Salzman’s home at 3 Oregon Trail when Raniere was arrested.

#Thread on #NPAs. Stay with me.

RBI revealed this in an RTI: At the end of March 2018, a record high 7,990 borrowers of above Rs 5 crore had not repaid a whopping Rs 3.71 lakh crore to banks for 1-30 days after due date. That is a four-year high record of early defaulters! 1/n
2/n. These early defaults rose by a record 281.9 per cent over December 2017 when they stood at only Rs 972 billion . On a year-on-year basis, the rise is almost 228 per cent - the highest growth of early stage overdue repayments in 4 years.
3/n. More than 5,000 of these 7,990 were new and unique early defaulters of loans above Rs 5 crore. What does this number tell us? We have been told that all bad loans are of UPA era. This number tells us that Modi govt might be brewing its own banking crisis as well.
