Virulent racism, literally:

Republicans Pompeo and Gosar are aggressively trying to rebrand "Coronavirus" as a Chinese contagion "Wuhan Virus."

Next up: Calling it "Yellow Fever."

2/ The answer is yes.

This racist rebranding is deliberate and on-message:

3/ This is the GOP propaganda campaign:
Rebrand the virus with racism.

I worried on Thursday about "a wave of infected American returning" through airports, but I admit I did not foresee this problem:
INFECTIOUS BOTTLENECK AT AIRPORTS

But it's a foreseeable disaster. THIS IS WHY WE ARE SUPPOSED TO HAVE EXPERTS AND NOT SOCIOPATHS RUNNING THINGS.

Yes, it's absurd that a flowchart about a screening website doesn't have the *web address*

But they had me at "flowchart."

They just took the most basic default flowchart template and pasted 3 steps after "yes."

And don't get me started on "Consumer..."
The sneaky creepiest thing about this photo is the Pence face:
Because of course it was Kushner and @VP Pence who put together the joke "flowchart."

And @WendySiegelman has solid speculation that it was designed by and designed to benefit the Kushner family financially. (Verily and Josh Kushner).

"Social Distancing: This is Not a Snow Day"

Must-read from my good friend @Asaf_Bitton, Exec Director @AriadneLabs, Asst Prof @harvardmed:

Advice for parents:
"No kid playdates, sleepovers or visits.
This sounds extreme because it is."

Re-posted here:

2/ Five points:

"1. Push our local, state, and national leaders to close ALL schools and public spaces and cancel all events and public gatherings now.

As of Friday, [only] 6 states had already done so. Your state should be one of them."
Ariadne site:
ariadnelabs.org/resources/arti…
"Also urge leaders to increase funds for emergency preparedness, make coronavirus testing an immediate & top priority.

We also need legislators to enact better paid ***sick leave & unemployment benefits*** to help people make the right call to stay at home right now."

CORONAVIRUS (COVID-19)
This is a roundup of what I found to be the most interesting & helpful sources on my journey into the void. #Coronavirus #Pandemic #Misinformation #CDC #CPP #WHO
This is for friends & family, but also to raise concern over media censorship & begin a discussion of what are best practices for both traditional & decentralized media outlets. This is a collection of sources to tell a larger story and spark interest.
Very few sources peer reviewed. Some behind paywalls. Some mainstream news. Some International News. Some in other languages (Use chrome). Some Harvard medical Journals. Some unverified. Some factually incorrect. Have some salt with your rice & beans.

#China backtracked on nearly all aspects of #US trade deal - All of us that follow & know China knew that this was never going to fly. You can't negotiate with a rogue, predatory state like China. This is for the better. mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/id…
The diplomatic cable from Beijing arrived in Washington late on Friday night, with systematic edits to a nearly 150-page draft trade agreement that would blow up months of negotiations. The document was riddled with reversals by China that undermined core US demands, sources said
In each of the 7 chapters of the draft trade deal, China deleted its commitments to change laws to resolve core complaints that caused the US to launch a trade war: theft of US IP & trade secrets; forced tech transfers; competition policy; access to financial services, etc, etc.
