As the spread of COVID-19 continues, UNL is taking steps to protect our campus & broader communities: 
-Classes are canceled March 16-20
-Starting March 30 (after spring break) classes will be taught remotely for the duration of the spring semester
covid19.unl.edu THREAD
The university will remain open. Students residing on campus are encouraged to return to their permanent residence because there are advantages of social distancing. Students who are unable to return home may remain in residence halls and access dining facilities.
All non-essential university-sponsored student and employee travel through the end of spring semester, including all summer study abroad programs scheduled for departure on or before June 30, are canceled.
We strongly encourage students, faculty and staff to consider whether personal travel is essential, including over spring break. Upon completion of travel, you must follow recommendations from the CDC and the appropriate local public health authority.
The University Libraries will remain open; however, some services and hours may be limited.
Based on guidance from the NCAA and the Big Ten Conference, Husker Athletics has announced that home sports competitions will be closed to the public effective immediately. ›› ow.ly/s9ez50yK94s
The university is coordinating closely with local public health officials regarding other events. Any cancellations will be noted on the events calendar, and, where applicable, ticket holders will be notified. ›› events.unl.edu
All faculty and instructors are asked to use the week of March 16-20 and the following week (March 23-27) to take the necessary steps to teach their courses remotely.
The university has existing sick, crisis and vacation leave as well as flexible policies to allow employees to work at alternative sites, including at home with supervisor approval. This policy is open to all university employees. ›› covid19.unl.edu/faculty-staff

So those running our governments can be held accountable in the future for their reckless prioritising of profit over public interest re: #COVIDー19 I want to start a discussion about what action should have been taken to prevent the spread of this virus.
Bringing in people who have commented on this. @GreenRupertRead @GeorgeMonbiot @GretaThunberg @ExtinctionR @RogerHallamCS21

Below I will list some of the obvious action I think should have happened to stop the spread of #COVIDー19.
1) To me the most obvious immediate action should have been an international moratorium on international travel and flying until the situation had been brought under control in China. At least a structure for this should have been put in place.

Six new #COVIDー19 in bc
2 related to Iran travel
2 in 60s from princess cruise 11-21 feb trip - Fraser health region - stable but in hosp for observation
More may test positive who were on that cruise
2 most concerning - residents of Lynn valley care centre
#bcpoli
Dr Bonnie Henry says the two positive tests in the care home leading to large investigation into residents and workers and what contact they’ve had.
And there are restrictions on that facility now for who is in and out.
#bcpoli #COVIDー19
Four recovered
The icu patient stable
2 I
All others in isolation
Also those with contact in isolation
“We are in an extraordinary situation” - Henry says - if you are sick stay home, keep your kids home.
But know that not everyone who is sick has #COVIDー19

THREAD: #COVID-19 lays bare the ways in which mass incarceration endangers public health for all of us.
A jail or prison is a closed-circuit environment like a cruise ship, but where many people arrived with communicable illness that makes them vulnerable, buildings are crumbling, rats and roaches, people crowded on top of one another with little sanitation.
This is not to mention the people who work in jails and prisons, who are in danger of becoming ill and spreading infection among incarcerated people and within their home communities.

A back-of-the-enveloppe thread on the spread of #COVIDー19:

1) HUBEI province (ca 60 million people) has had close to 3000 deaths. It still has an active caseload of ca 20 K patients & some 130 new cases a day, & ca 30 daily deaths. So I expect up to 3500 deaths, assuming...1/9
...a winding down of the epidemic there by end March. If,stress IF, the rest of the world became like Hubei (0.8%of world population), the death toll could be of ca 400 K with a cumulative number of cases of ca 8 million.This possibly sets the outer bounds of a Covid pandemic 2/n
Of course, active measures in the world may prevent Hubei-scale outbreaks so this is unlikely to happen (conversely, late but tough measures in Hubei have also limited Covid's spread in that province).

2) GOOD NEWS though in rest of mainland China ( minus Hubei, HK,Macau): 3/n

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".

I gathered some alarming information on the rise of #COVID in Iran in this thread. I can see that it has been read by many hence increases my responsibility on what I share now.
As I stated before:

- I am not a trained reporter or journalist
- I am not based in Iran
- Not affiliated with any poilitical group, for or against the government
- Most of my information comes from the internet with occasional conversations with people in Iran
Today I shall try to gather information which I will share in the thread below.
