My wife wants me to tell you that after her reunion was canceled because of COVID-19 @Expedia was legit helpful getting her hotel money refunded. So now I’ve told you.
Now I’m supposed to tell you it was a non refundable reservation. Done.
Apparently the guy who helped was “Alexander”. This is my feed now.

For other journos on this. WH/Pence/Taskforce keeps sending out press releases ‘announcing’ migration strategies in hotspot communities. But as far as I can tell in each case they’re simply ‘announcing’ things the local officials have already done.
2/ In the case of one that just went out about New Rochelle it seems like it’s not even that, just some some suggestions mainly abt things like hand washing, telecommuting. For others reporting on this, is this your impressions? I can’t see anything new or actually announced.
3/ Migration/mitigation. Autocorrect.

In general, v impressed with actions, communication from #NYS and #NYC. Things are moving quickly. Hopefully there will be a change today. But I think #NYC is making a big mistake resisting canceling big public events like St Patrick's Day parade. I'm no expert. But the ...
2/ experts are speaking very clearly about this. Big public events, even outdoors, especially near a hotspot are a bad idea. There's peer-reviewed research specifically about parades as major vectors of contagion during epidemics like #COVID19.
3/ I know #NYC is balancing many critical equities. The options are all bad. But this seems like a big mistake with potentially grave consequences.

Article gets at something a TPM Reader flagged to me this weekend. scientists who helped unravel the Wash state spread had the tools to move earlier but were told to stand down, eventually broke major rules that cld have ended careers cuz they ... nytimes.com/2020/03/10/us/…
2/ they thought the situation was so dire and time was of the essence. They were working a regional flu study and had collected numerous samples. They wanted to test them for CV and they had tests to do it. But the consent was to use the samples for flu study not for ...
3/ Coronavirus. There are very good reasons to have these rules. But they had an opportunity to find out whether the disease was already spreading when no one was looking. They thought it was too important to pass up.

Day 8 of aggregating information on what goes on with #COVIDー19 in Iran.

Picking up from yesterday:

As stated before:

Finally authorities are putting Mazandaran province on quarantine: only fuel and food trucks are allowed. This late, its effectiveness will be limited.

The same authorities have had argued for quarantine to be "non-scientific" and "from middle ages".

My uncle just tested positive for the coronavirus. He lives in Venice, CA.

I’ve not been in direct contact with him, so we are not at risk from him, but I want to relay how the health department has managed his case. #COVID
He was skiing in the Italian alps with 6 other guys. 4 of them, including my uncle, now have the coronavirus. One is in a coma. two are sick, and my uncle has not presented any symptoms as of yet. He self-quarantined and called the health department. #COVID
A few days later they tested him and yesterday he found out he’s positive. Meanwhile, they’ve told my aunt to wear a mask, stay 10 feet away from my uncle, and otherwise she is free to move about the community. And, she has — to grocery stores, the hair salon, etc. #COVID

I cannot believe this is happening.

1️⃣ My student (I have her permission to say this) who is Chinese started having a fever last Saturday.

Now 9 days. Also has a cough and now chest pain.

She’s dead scared.

She has not been to China recently but I would be equally scared.
2️⃣ last week she called the NHS 111 & bc she has NOT been to any “infected areas” NHS told her it’s just a cold and could not offering any tests.

Today we had a chat and I suggested her to call 111 again since:

1. She has a fever for 9 days

2. Now UK has 35 cases
3️⃣ she really wanted the test also bc:

1. In China she would have been tested. Her parents are worried.

2. She is an international student. First year in the UK. No family, no close friends. No help!

She really needs the extra psychological support & reassurance from the NHS

Trump Hotels' website still lists Trump SoHo New York among its properties in the Our Hotels menu. Select its name though to access its page and there's a message about it being renamed

Two errors in the 2nd graf of Breitbart's Trump Hotel DC article:
-holdings aren't out of @realDonaldTrump's hands: trust isn't blind & he can profit from it
-Trump Org told Congress it was estimating foreign receipts—not auto donating in full
