Trump delivers Oval Office address on coronavirus pandemic pscp.tv/w/cTgvRzFvTmps…
Trump announced a suspension of all travel from Europe to the U.S. for the next 30 days in an effort to curb the spread of the coronavirus

politico.com/news/2020/03/1…
In a rare address from the Oval Office, Trump said the EU had “failed to take the same precautions” as the U.S. had implemented to contain the coronavirus outbreak. The UK will not be included in the travel ban with the continent. politico.com/news/2020/03/1…
In addition to announcing a 30-day suspension of travel from Europe, President Trump also said he would “soon be taking an emergency action” to provide a financial cushion to small businesses and individuals hit by the coronavirus politico.com/news/2020/03/1…
Trump's Oval Office address marked a dramatic shift in messaging for a president who, as recently as Monday, compared the rapidly-spreading virus to the common flu and tweeted that "nothing is shut down, life and the economy go on"

The Miami Beach Police Department responded to an emergency call from the hotel room early Friday morning. Police impounded several clear plastic bags of what appeared to be crystal meth

Aldo Mejias, who rented the room, told police he arrived at the hotel last night to find Gillum and Travis Dyson “under the influence of an unknown substance,” according to the report.

Dyson was later hospitalized. He is conscious and in stable condition

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.

🚨BREAKING🚨

@WHO Chief @DrTedros declares the deadly new #CoronavirusOutbreak an EMERGENCY: “I am declaring a public health emergency of international concern over the global outbreak of #2019nCoV."

@thespybrief #coronavirus #2019_nCov
pscp.tv/w/cQMrSzFkdktP…
"Our greatest concern is the potential for the virus to spread to countries with weaker health systems, and which are ill-prepared to deal with it."~WHO chief

A case of #2019nCoV was confirmed in #India, among numerous other countries.🤨

In less than a week, 98 #2019nCoV cases have been confirmed in 18 countries outside #China, including 8 cases of *human-to-human* transmission in 4 countries, including in the US (Illinois).

This is just the beginning of the #CoronavirusOutbreak, unfortunately.
