•Insider asked Republicans what they like about Sanders, and their answers show that he has broad and varied appeal to them.

Sure, the vast majority of Republicans decline to answer the question, or said "nothing." But many respondents expressed some interest in Sanders's policy platform, or thought he had a good heart, or admired his passion and consistency. Here's what 82 respondents from the other party said they liked about Bernie....

...more recently, the Chinese Government revealed to the South China Morning Post that a further 43,000 people tested positive but were not included as confirmed cases because they showed no symptoms.
That puts the asymptomatic rate in China at around 30 per cent, although there is likely a lot more asymptomatic cases who were not tested.
Iceland has been testing anyone in the population who volunteers, along with people who are showing symptoms. Early results suggest roughly half of the cases in the general population are asymptomatic, but the sample size was still small when Iceland's chief epidemiologist reported these findings.
South Korea's CDC director Jeong Eun-kyeong told reporters in mid-March that "Korea currently has a significantly higher rate of asymptomatic cases than other countries, perhaps due to our extensive testing".
In the US, the director of the CDC told NPR [ https://tinyurl.com/tlex8sq ]the proportion of silent carriers "could be as high as 25 per cent"....

Covid-19 has its work cutout if it's going to catch up with flu. The party of death Democrats and their media lackeys are hoping for the new virus to continue for months, through election, and start foaming at the mouth at any suggestion to the contrary that might happen.

For the purposes of containing the outbreak right now, however, Jeffrey Shaman, a professor of environmental health sciences at Columbia University’s Mailman School of Public Health, says the focus on asymptomatics is a bit of a red herring.

“In some sense, symptomatic versus asymptomatic isn’t really the appropriate dividing line” for us to be focusing on, he said. “The appropriate dividing line is documented versus undocumented infection.”

What Shaman means by “documented” is people who are identified as being infected, either because they were sick enough to go seek care or were tested through contact tracing, which is when public health officials track down all the contacts of someone who tested positive. The “undocumented” could be people who have symptoms but didn’t get tested, because of lack of access to testing, dislike of doctors or sheer stoicism — or more concerningly, people who had no symptoms or such mild symptoms that they decided to just carry on with their daily lives....

A number of civil cases are set to be launched against Cardinal Pell, either by people who allege they were abused by him or who allege he did nothing to prevent their abuse at the hands of other priests.
Civil cases can proceed in the absence of a conviction, with the claims focusing on compensation.
There is a lower standard of proof required in such cases.
A criminal case needs to meet the threshold of guilt "beyond reasonable doubt", whereas the threshold for a civil case is "on the balance of probabilities".

In a sign that the hospitals could not imagine the magnitude of what they are facing now, 86 percent of hospital administrators told the HHS inspector general in October 2018 that they felt "prepared" for an infectious disease outbreak. More than 90 percent had purchased additional supplies, including personal protective gear.

But hospital chiefs at the time said they were not focused as much on dealing with an emerging infectious disease because they were focused on the possibility of an active shooter or a natural disaster. One official noted the difficulty of "budgeting funds for the 'what ifs' when there is only so much money available and there are other priorities you know will happen."

"This is the first time the United States has ever designated white supremacists as terrorists, and this illustrates how seriously this administration takes the white supremacist terrorist threat. We are doing things no previous administration has done to counter this threat," said Nathan A. Sales, the State Department's counterterrorism coordinator, according to the Times.

The terrorist designation of the Russian Imperial Movement, the white supremacist organization in question, would allow the Treasury Department's Office of Foreign Assets Control to block any American property or assets belonging to the group. The designation would also bar Americans from financial dealings with the organization and make it easier to ban members from entering the US....

Fauci says the prospect of a resurgence is the reason the U.S. is working so hard to get its preparedness "better than it was." He says that includes working to develop a vaccine and conducting clinical trials on therapeutic interventions.

Fauci also says states that don't have stay-at-home orders are not putting the rest of the country at risk as much as they are putting themselves at risk.
