"A big question on the minds of investors this week was if — or when — the new Wuhan coronavirus..."

The President of the Asian American Journalist Association is The Washington Post's Michelle Lee.

It's a hexidecimal colour. The fuck is happening? This is as dumb as the tattoo.
Naomi LaChance blocked me for pointing out that hexidecimal colours are a thing.

Beijing, after initially blocking requests from the United States, has agreed to permit authorities from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention to take part in an international investigation of the global health crisis caused by the rapidly spreading Wuhan coronavirus.
The World Health Organization officially declared an international health emergency Thursday. WHO officials said the designation was not meant to be a “vote of no confidence” in the Chinese government’s handling of the crisis.
