Coronavirus News (41)

MORE RECOVERED CORONAVIRUS PATIENTS ARE TESTING POSITIVE AGAIN THIS IS BAD NEWS. IS IT REALLY TIME YET TO START EASING RESTRICTIONS? ...... “We need a very cautious approach because any premature easing of social distancing could bring irreversible consequences, and have to ponder deeply about when and how we switch to the new system”
EXPERT: CORONAVIRUS FORCING RATS TO CANNIBALISM, INFANTICIDE “A restaurant all of a sudden closes now, which has happened by the thousands in not just New York City but coast to coast and around the world,” urban rodentologist Bobby Corrigan told NBC News, “and those rats that were living by that restaurant, some place nearby, and perhaps for decades having generations of rats that depended on that restaurant food, well, life is no longer working for them, and they only have a couple of choices.” ..... “They’re mammals just like you and I, and so when you’re really, really hungry, you’re not going to act the same — you’re going to act very bad, usually,” Corrigan told NBC News. “So these rats are fighting with one another, now the adults are killing the young in the nest and cannibalizing the pups.” ...... In the age of coronavirus, rats are getting unprecedented access to city streets
The Pope Just Endorsed Universal Basic Income Andrew Yang's response: "Wow." ...... many workers, including “street vendors, recyclers, carnies, small farmers, construction workers, dressmakers, the different kinds of caregivers” were being “excluded from the benefits of globalization,” while “the lockdowns are becoming unbearable.” ....... A Canadian basic income pilot involving 4,000 people saw early successes, finding that people kept working, and even got healthier over time. ....... Canada, for instance, unveiled a $2,000 per month Emergency Response Benefit in response to the coronavirus.
THIS SMART RING USES AI TO SPOT COVID-19 — BEFORE SYMPTOMS BEGIN IMAGINE IF HOSPITAL WORKERS COULD BE RELIEVED DAYS BEFORE THEY BECAME CONTAGIOUS. ...... One of the trickiest parts of tracking the COVID-19 pandemic is how good the coronavirus is as hiding out undetected in the human body. ........ In some cases, it can take as many as five days for people infected by the coronavirus to start showing symptoms. During that time, they could be further spreading the disease to new people, without realizing that they themselves are sick. ....... One team of scientists and doctors is trying to detect the disease earlier than ever before, by examining data recorded by a wearable smart ring that they say they can spot a budding COVID-19 case before noticeable symptoms begin. ....... a smart ring that constantly records temperature, sleep patterns, activity levels, and heart rate variability. ........ clear correlations between changes in temperature and the onset of COVID-19. ........ the privacy implications of constant biometric monitoring ....... because there are no known pharmaceuticals to treat COVID-19, public health experts are left exploring non-pharmaceutical interventions like surveillance and quarantines. .......

Until we have a vaccine, Rezai told Futurism, COVID-19 isn’t going to go away for good.

Michelle Obama For VP

I think she is the logical choice. A VP, by definition, must be able to take the top job in a heartbeat. Nothing prepares you for the top job like spending eight years in the White House. She is well prepared.

Joe Biden became Joe Biden in South Carolina. The African American voters across the South put him back in the race and gave him the nomination.

President: Joe Biden
Vice President: Michelle Obama
Attorney General: Kamala Devi Harris
Secretary Of Urban Affairs: Pete Buttigieg
Secretary Of Labor: Andrew Yang
UN Ambassador: Tulsi Gabbard



Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Has Never Spoken to Joe Biden. Here’s What She Would Say. I want to respect his win, he won because of his coalition building, he won because of his service, he won for a lot of different reasons — but I don’t think he won because Americans don’t want “Medicare for all.” And in this moment, I wouldn’t be surprised if what we’re seeing with coronavirus didn’t further change people’s views in further support of a progressive agenda......... And I just don’t know if this message of “We’re going to go back to the way things were” is going to work for the people for who the way things were was really bad......... Beating Donald Trump is a matter of life or death for our communities. I think it’s a difference between making an argument for harm reduction, and making the argument for, there’s actually going to be progress made for us........ Because, for some people, this argument of returning to normalcy sounds like an argument of respectability politics and civility. And for other people, it sounds like, will my child be put in a cage? ....... I do not feel a choice in adhering to my principles and my integrity, and being accountable to the movement that brought me here. But also, I don’t want another term of Trump....... I don’t want this president throwing paper towels at my family again.

Ocasio-Cortez says Biden campaign has not reached out to her
