BREAKING: The Queen will address the nation on Sunday at 8pm
The Queen has recorded a televised broadcast to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth about the #coronavirus pandemic.
It will be broadcast at 8pm UK time on Sunday on most TV channels including @itv @bbc @sky
The TV address was recorded at Windsor Castle this week and will transmit on Sunday evening.
Buckingham Palace called it a "special broadcast to the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth".
As far as I can tell, this would only be the fourth special address the Queen has made:
1991 Gulf War
1997 death of Princess Diana
2002 Queen Mother's Funeral

The big news on Harry and Meghan’s baby plans is... No News. Statement from @RoyalFamily says that the Duke and Duchess of Sussex want to keep their plans ‘private’
So no Lindo Wing photocall like William and Kate. No announcement which hospital Meghan has chosen or whether she wants a home birth.
Not a huge surprise. When Louis was due, the media was given the plans more than 2 months before his birth. Harry and Meghan have decided, with just days to go before the due date, they do not wish to share their plans with the public 👶

Fighting the #Coronavirus #Pandemic: #China's Influence at the @WHO ~ @FGodement

"The WHO’s Director-General @Tedros has shown an evident #bias to accept Chinese #declarations and #denials at face value - this has created a #delay in international responses. 1/n

This in spite of a very limited #Chinese contribution to @WHO, but it matches the #weakness of other @UN organizations in the face of #China’s #powerful campaigning." 2/n

The #coronavirus #pandemic/#panic has already fundamentally changed our society and #economy. We're already seeing #quarantines along with #unemployment, #bankruptcies, and empty shelves in stores. And we see how entire states are being shut down as government asserts they know
which businesses are 'essential' and thus may operate and which are 'non-essential' and therefore forced closed. Whereas this obviously will cause enormous economic problems, let's take a look at what is actually going on. We are not only in the midst of a virus pandemic, but
also a major economic shift: from industry to information. Such shifts can happen smoothly, but government's actions are forcing the shift and disrupting all industries--uprooting the traditional employment model and creating a gig and work-from-home economy. Part of this is the

Came across this last night and thought it worth sharing. I’ve seen multiple sources for it.

Prayer for a Pandemic

May we who are merely inconvenienced,
Remember those whose lives are at stake.

May we who have no risk factors,
Remember the most vulnerable...
May we who have the luxury of working from home,
Remember those who must choose between preserving their health or making their rent.

May we who have flexibility to care for our children when their schools close,
Remember those who have no options...
May we who have to cancel our trips,
Remember those that have no safe place to go.

May we who are losing our margin money in the tumult of the economic market,
Remember those who have no margin at all...

In today's column, I tried to answer the question: "How much worse can the #coronavirus pandemic get?" So, for data geeks like me, I'm going to post a thread of stories and graphs with projections. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
How Much Worse the #Coronavirus Could Get - features some great interactive charts and examines how long the #pandemic could last nytimes.com/interactive/20… via @nytimes
Unsurprisingly, Our World In Data has some of the best data on #coronavirus, like this chart that shows how long it took for cases numbers to double. (in Canada it's four days) ourworldindata.org/coronavirus

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.
