NEW: The chief judge of SDNY signs an order with protective measures regarding Covid-19.

Visitors denied entry if they visited within the last 14 days:

* China
* South Korea
* Japan
* Italy
* Iran

Anyone asked to self-quarantine also cannot enter. More here, @CourthouseNews
Context: One of the early cases in New York was an attorney. abc7ny.com/amp/5995537
Read the 2-page standing order on COVID-19 protective measures for SDNY here. documentcloud.org/documents/6801…
Just to underline what the tweet, and the posted document, states:

* SDNY protective measures will deny entry to Southern District courthouses on those grounds. These protective measures are only for Southern District of New York premises.

Big: The 2nd Circ revives a case filed by the Federal Defenders over the BOP's suspension of attorney visits at MDC in 2019.

They urge the judge "in the strong possible terms" to quickly appoint a master to adopt procedures for emergencies, like #Covid19. ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isys…
Some background here:

MDC, a federal prison in Brooklyn, suffered an institutional breakdown after a fire caused a blackout in January 2019, leading to a lockdown resulting in harrowing court hearings.

This is my coverage of it from last year. courthousenews.com/inmates-offer-…
A year and a new emergency later, another federal prison across the river, MCC, recently had a lockdown over intel that a gun was smuggled inside. Authorities did find a loaded gun, as worried families and counsel could not reach inmates during the Covid-19 outbreak. (cont'd)

From left to right:

David Correia & Igor Fruman—Lev’s co-defendants, involved in Global Energy Producers

Paul Okoloko and Harry Sergeant III—energy tycoons

Tommy Hicks Jr. and Roy Bailey—GOP/Trump political operatives

Lev Parnas

Research confirmed by source familiar. 🔽
One of the reasons this photo seems significant:

Parnas, Fruman and Correia tried to lure investors in Global Energy Producers by touting a partnership with oil billionaire Harry Sergeant III, who denied doing business with the men.

In November, the Tampa Bay Times reported that SDNY prosecutors subpoenaed the other energy tycoon in the photo: Paul Okoloko. tampabay.com/florida-politi…

For now, Southern District courts remain open, but several federal judges have been issuing orders today in various cases switching proceedings to telephone and video conferences.

There's are just a sampling of several similar orders like these issued TODAY in SDNY.
"On March 13, 2020, the Southern District of New York issued a Standing Order continuing all civil and criminal jury trials set to begin before April 27, 2020."

Order continuing a federal trial in an employment civil rights case against New York City.
In addition to SDNY's standing order continuing all civil and criminal jury trials slated before April 27, there are a flood of orders today adjourning cases or switching to teleconferences.

Halfway through a spreadsheet of them, it's clear:

SDNY seems to be grinding to a halt.

Another damn thread: I have been tweeting a lot about how #COVIDー19 is evolving. Today, I have been thinking about our response after 9/11 (we came together for a short time as a community) and how it compares how we are handling what's asked of us today. 1/
We can't control the virus, but we can control our response as a community. I get it, when we are asked to do things that change our behavior significantly, it can induce anxiety and fear. Taking action to mitigate the risk of the spread is a good thing. 2/
Depending on our response to measures that are asked of us, we can either make this less stressful/anxiety inducing or not. Taking action to mitigate the spread isn't the part that should be anxiety inducing, doing nothing and ignoring a problem is much worse. 3/

@christianbaye13 & me have been thinking about the big differences in mortality rates so far during the corona outbreak in Europe. The differences in case-fatality rates are humongous. Italy has one of 6% while countries like Norway, Denmark & Germany have rates still close to 0.
Of course the rates will likely converge somewhat over time as the virus spreads and there are many effects in this. Division bias may play a role, as does the time since the outbreak.
However, we thought maybe there is something to learn in this in order to help to organize our lives in a way to minimize the risks for us and we pose to others. We picked up a striking data difference that @AndreasShrugged pointed out.

People don’t understand the single greatest risk of #COVIDー19.

It is The Pinch.

Come along with me while I explain.

#COVID19US #CoronavirusUSA #coronavirus #SARSCoV2 #COVID19seattle #Coviditalia #covid4MDs #thepinch
This will potentially affect you, your kids, you parents. They don’t even have to get sick. It all has to do with TOO MANY PATIENTS TOO SICK AT ONE TIME.
Here’s what we know. One person in a community gets sick and they infect others. Most people don’t get too sick and they get better.

They are not “safe” though. Read to the end.

#Iran's Mahan Air flights continue between China & Iran despite #coronavirus outbreaks in both countries.

Now reports indicate Mahan Air flights from to Iraq.

Reminder:
Mahan Air is sanctioned by the U.S. for its association to Iran's terrorist IRGC.
#Iran sent 3 million masks to China & continued Mahan Air flights to & from that country.

Now Iran is the world's second largest #coronavirus epicenter.

And yet regime officials & apologists/lobbyists abroad blame the U.S.
China & #Iran are the world's top #coronavirus epicenters.

Both countries are taking measures to address this crisis.

This 60-second video shows 30 seconds of China & 30 seconds of Iran.

You be the judge.
