1. COVID-19 Put Her Husband in the ICU. She Had to Be Hospitalized Next.…
  
  from ProPublica
  
  When Laura Whalen went to a hospital with COVID-19, she brought her kids. Her husband was already in an ICU, and she couldn’t risk them exposing their grandma. But the state told her to find someone to take them or it would.

As of 2020-04-17 18:00 EDT (US-Eastern), #USA #coronavirus stats:
* 699,850 #COVID-19 confirmed cases
* 37,242 confirmed deaths (in 47 days)
* Case Fatality Rate (CFR) rises to 5.3%
* Of the 96,384 cases with an outcome:
- 59,142 (61%) discharged / recovered
- 37,242 (39%) deaths

See https://nitter.net/BryanDawsonUSA/status/1251272919176687616

(Note: Real numbers are higher. Because of the testing shortage, many people still cannot get tested, and are sent home. I can't find the link right now, but I saw that Boston and Detroit are seeing double the usual number of "died at home" cases. It is not known if they are testing the bodies for the #SARS-COV-2 virus.)

Kim Jong Un a no-show at traditional celebration. People speculate about health issue. #NK #North_Korea

He's basically an absolute dictator. Maybe he just got tired of honoring his grandfather's memory. Or maybe his nation's claim of zero #COVID-19 infections is false. There's really no way to tell, because despite the celebration being a tradition that he embraced, no one is going to force him to continue it, or require "a good reason" for him missing it.

Heck, maybe his #Depends leaked ten minutes before the celebration started and he did not have time to find another pair of pants large enough to fit.

#idle_speculation (Pretty useless, eh? That's the point.)

@adcock WHO may need to be taught a lesson, but not when the pandemic is just getting started in the poorer parts of the world. Besides, even when China's numbers appeared to be unrealistically optimistic (as they still do), and WHO seemed to believe what they were told, it was clear that #COVID-19 could escape and run rampant in other countries.

US President #Trump suspends support payments to #WHO pending investigation.

I strongly disagree with this. Wait until the world gets a handle on the #COVID-19 outbreak. Besides, even though no one may have known just how big this would become (not even WHO), it was predictable fairly early on that cases could come here and start spreading locally. No one is saying to suspend funding the US government because there weren't enough test kits available and deployed to localities where outbreaks were most likely.

My nephew's $EMPLOYER had a few #COVID-19 infected employees at that location. He says they did not clean the place and one of the sick employees came to work after suspecting the disease. He's decided to stay off-work for two weeks.

I'm tempted to call his cousin ( my nephew #PizzaMan ) who also works there and ask about the conditions, but I don't know how I could do that without making it sound like I'm checking up on the first nephew. I'm not wanting to start any kind of family trouble.
