Can you still tell the weekend from the rest of the week? But it's Saturday, and in case you missed it, some readings you shouldn't miss, a thread.

1. The New York Times animated report on how #COVID19 traveled around the world from Wuhan. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
2. The Johns Hopkins University dashboard of official data on #COVID19 that practically all the broadcast media has relied on from the start: gisanddata.maps.arcgis.com/apps/opsdashbo…
3. Always behind, but still, official, .@DOHgovph;s own dashboard of official #COVID19PH data (usually a day behind): ncovtracker.doh.gov.ph
4. .@inquirerdotnet's timeline of the first two weeks of #COVID19PH: newsinfo.inquirer.net/1249464/timeli…
5. Henry Grabar's op-ed on #COVID19 and how all our societies are like that of a virus-infested cruise ship: spread by the wealthy, but in absolute numbers, affecting the poor the most: slate.com/business/2020/…
6. Alders Ledge's powerful essay on #COVID19PH, #LuzonLockdown, and the growing hunger of the poor: covid19.osinthk.org/2020/04/02/the…
7. On a related note, .@PCIJdotOrg's report on #COVID19PH and the poor in Metro Manila: pcij.org/article/3890/s…
8. #LuzonLockdown, until people pushed back, was one restriction on individual freedom one after the other, all in the name of the common welfare. Yuval Noah Harari however dared to ask for all the world's citizens, are #COVID19 restrictions worth it? ft.com/content/19d903…
9. The .@FT has been maintaining a series of comprehensive tracking charts of #COVID19 around the world: ft.com/coronavirus-la…
10. A reason for governments clamping down is that besides health, they fear (and big chunks of the public fears) cvil unrest. An interesting thread argues that in times of crisis, solidarity and not selfishness or desperation, can become prevalent: threadreaderapp.com/thread/1243144…
11. Johns Hopkins University Center for Health Security maintains an updated page on #COVID19 and what the research is telling us as the pandemic spreads and is being fought. centerforhealthsecurity.org/resources/COVI…

More #quarantinemusic, following through on my #QuarantineLife music and culture thread during #LuzonLockdown yesterday.
1. "Bring Him Home," sung by former cast members of Les Mis, to support Britain's .@NHSuk frontliners:

THREAD: The New York Times claims that Greece is operating a black site on the border with Turkey to detain illegal immigrants.

I'll translate tweets made by @e_amyna that counters the claims made by @PatrickKingsley and @MatinaStevis.
1) On February 28, 2020, an article published in the NYT titled "Turkey Pressing OP for Assistance to Syria Threatens to Open Borders to Refugees" by Matina Stevis-Gridneff and Patrick Kingsley, was solely sourced by 23-year-old refugee Somar al-Hussein.

2) Somar al-Hussein is said to be located on the east bank of Evros in eastern Thrace (European Turkey), opposite Greek town of Alexandroupolis & is facing a serious health problem. It is reported that he has only one hand and severe vision problem.

#Thread: The Saudi-UAE war on #Yemen began 5 years ago with full support from Obama/Biden. Together, they manufactured the world's worst humanitarian crisis.

Obama never apologized & Biden only came out against the war in 2019.

This is what they did to Yemenis from 2015-2016:
First, let's establish that this is, and always had been, a US war on #Yemen.

On day 1, the Obama White House issued this statement declaring "logistical & intelligence support" to Saudi: obamawhitehouse.archives.gov/the-press-offi…

Their authorization of military intervention was unconstitutional
Every day, US bombs were dropped from US jets refueled mid-air by the US Air Force on targets chosen with the help of US military officials.
