The US has become the first country to exceed 100,000 confirmed coronavirus cases as Donald Trump signed into law the largest economic stimulus package in US history, a $2.2tn bill designed to rush federal assistance to workers and businesses.

The number of confirmed US cases rose by 15,000 on Friday, fewer than the 16,000 reported on Thursday. By Friday night there were more than 6,000 hospitalised Covid-19 patients in New York with almost 1,600 in intensive care while the state had logged 519 deaths, the most in the US, and more than 44,000 infections.

Hospitals in New York City, New Orleans, Detroit and other virus hotspots have sounded the alarm about scarcities of drugs, medical supplies and trained staff.

"We are not prepared,” one doctor said. New York City’s hospitals may be moving too slowly as the outbreak spreads, experts say.

Two of the biggest hospital systems in the Northeast — New York City’s Health and Hospitals Corporation and NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital — plan to cancel nonemergency surgeries. NYU Langone Medical Center’s Tisch Hospital turned a pediatric emergency room into a respiratory ward for adults. Northwell Health, which has a sprawling network of hospitals, is asking retired nurses to return to work.

But New York City’s hospitals, widely considered among the best in the world, may still be moving too slowly to get ready for a coronavirus outbreak that has already overwhelmed other countries and is now taking root in the New York region, according to many health care experts.
“We are not prepared to deal with a rapid and severe surge of patients — we’re just not,” said Dr. Christopher M. Tedeschi, a longtime emergency physician and assistant professor at the Columbia University Medical Center. “We’re sort of planning for what’s going on right now, and we’re trying to make up for lost time, but I’m not sure we’re planning for a month from now, or even two weeks from now.”

New York State is a center of the outbreak in the United States, and the number of cases has been spiking in recent days, both because the virus is spreading and because more testing is being done.

As of Saturday, New York State had 524 confirmed coronavirus cases, up 100 in a day. New York City had 213 cases, with a rise of 59 in a day.

Really a great way to create new unnecessary friction between friendly countries, Trump should concentrate on helping his own by deploying troops to help population where its needed. I don't see why Canadian would cross in a country where there is a way higher risk of contagion now. I have nothing against U.S. citizen, your government is mess up tho.
A waste of resource IMO

>No Charges Against Democrat Andrew Gillum After The Politician & CNN Contributor Was Linked To Suspected Meth Overdose
https://deadline.com/2020/03/andrew-gillum-linked-to-alleged-meth-overdose-1202883564/

Andrew Gillum, a rising star in the Democratic party and a CNN contributor, has apologized after he was found in a Miami Beach hotel room early Friday with a man who overdosed on what police believe was crystal meth.

Gillum, 40, rose to national prominence when he became Florida’s first African-American nominee for governor. He narrowly lost the November 2018 general election to Republican Ron DeSantis.

The progressive politician’s career now looks to be in jeopardy after he was found “inebriated” at the Mondrian South Beach hotel, where police and paramedics responded to a “medical incident.”

Miami Beach police were notified after a 56-year-old man named Aldo Mejias called for help around 1 a.m., according to the police report obtained by the Miami Herald.

Officers found Gillum there with Mejias and a 30-year-old man named Travis Dyson, who was being treated by paramedics for a suspected meth overdose.

Mejias told officers he arrived at the hotel room around 11 p.m. and found Dyson and Gillum under the influence of an unknown substance. Dyson opened the door and collapsed on the bed. Mejias said he performed CPR on Dyson before paramedics arrived.

Residents of Kamonyi district have been cautioned against encroaching on buffer zones of River Nyabarongo, after a crocodile killed a man who had gone fishing in a prohibited area on Wednesday.

The victim, John Hakizimana, 35, is a resident of Rugalika Sector, Kamonyi District.

In an interview with The New Times, on Thursday, March 26, Alice Kayitesi, the Mayor of Kamonyi said that citizens of her district are well aware they are not allowed to go to buffer zones, yet some few still go ahead and defy the regulations in place.

"It was a very unfortunate incident, however, there are things that a few citizens do, yet they know that they are prohibited," she said.

"When we get a lot of rains, River Nyabarongo overflows to its banks, and some people take advantage of the situation to go fishing in the water, which exposes them to animals like crocodiles or hippos that are found in the buffer zone."

Kayitesi cautioned citizens to avoid such dangerous practices, but also to respect the government's regulations of not leaving their homes, as part of the preventive measures against the spread of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19).

"We request the citizens to stay at their homes in this time when we are trying to work to prevent and fight COVID-19," she said.

The only people allowed to go out during this ongoing lockdown are those offering essential services while farmers are also free to work in their farms during the lockdown.

"Are some 'stones' buried deeply, parasites spreading virus like to all levels and all continents. Is their purpose control and a new order? Supranational evil intent by the enemies of humanity and thieves of life? Which Rock plays both sides against 'their' middle?

Should you follow their goal and see the end game of the beastly?

Who plans eugenics, power, control, finance and monopoly? Which Rock controlled the leaders of men as marionettes?

President Trump is as popular as he's ever been right now

(CNN)Here's an indisputable fact: President Donald Trump is as popular today as he has been since his first day in office.

In a new Gallup poll, 49% approve of the job Trump is doing as president while 45% disapprove, matching the highest his approval rating has ever been in Gallup surveys. A Monmouth University poll released on Monday showed Trump at 46% approval, again the best he has done in that poll in more than three years.

What accounts for Trump's rise? Simple: His response to the coronavirus crisis.

In the Gallup poll, 60% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing in handling the crisis while 38% disapprove of how he has done. Six in 10 independents approve of how Trump has done on the coronavirus as do more than 1 in 4 (27%) of Democrats. In the Monmouth poll, 50% say Trump has done a good job with coronavirus while 45% said he has done a bad job.

The heightened approval for how Trump has managed this crisis -- particularly among independents and even Democrats -- is what is pushing up his overall approval numbers, which have been largely stagnant for years.

Experts report recent increase in Chinese group's cyberattacks
https://thehill.com/policy/cybersecurity/489531-experts-discover-recent-increase-in-chinese-cyberattacks
A prolific Chinese government-backed cyber group has recently stepped up its attacks on health care, pharmaceutical and other sectors, according to research released Wednesday by cybersecurity group FireEye.

FireEye experts discovered that the Chinese cyber threat group known as APT41 had launched what they described as “one of the broadest campaigns by a Chinese cyber espionage actor we have observed in recent years.”

The group, which FireEye previously assessed with “high confidence” is state-sponsored, was found to have widely targeted companies in almost two dozen countries in a variety of sectors between January and March.

Beyond health-related industries, APT41 also went after firms involved in the banking, construction, defense, manufacturing, telecommunications, media and utility sectors, among others.

FireEye experts noted in a blog post about the widespread attacks that while they were not certain why these industries were chosen, the “victims appear to be more targeted in nature.”

FireEye has tracked APT41 since 2012, when it launched cyberattacks on the video game industry before moving on to state-sponsored cyber activity a few years later.

“In 2020, APT41 continues to be one of the most prolific threats that FireEye currently tracks,” the experts wrote. “This new activity from this group shows how resourceful and how quickly they can leverage newly disclosed vulnerabilities to their advantage.”

WHAT IS 'BOOMER REMOVER' AND WHY IS IT MAKING PEOPLE SO ANGRY?

"Boomer Remover," a mean nickname for the novel coronavirus COVID-19, began trending on Twitter early Friday.

The term has appeared in more than 65,000 tweets and references the higher mortality rate among older people infected with COVID-19—particularly among people over 60, including the Boomer Baby age cohort approximately between the ages of 56 and 74.

The nickname is most often touted by teenagers, with adults then sharing the term on social media, as in this early viral example of the trend:

A Mere 8 Days Ago Joe Biden Was Still Attacking Trump’s Travel Bans
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2020/03/20/nolte-mere-8-days-ago-joe-biden-still-attacking-trumps-travel-bans/
A mere eight days ago, Joe Biden was still vocally opposing President Donald Trump’s travel bans from Europe, and even China, as racist. In other words, if Biden was the president, we can’t begin to imagine how much worse things would look in American today thanks to President Biden’s refusal to keep people out from the very same places where the Chinese coronavirus rages.

Below is the timeline in China Joe’s own words. Afterwards, we will do some math and hear from Dr. Fauci.

All the way back on January 31, in reaction to the coronavirus outbreak in China, President Trump announced a travel ban of “all foreign nationals who have traveled in China within the last 14 days.” That included, obviously, Chinese citizens and anyone from any country who visited China.

Americans returning from China were put under a 14-day quarantine.

That was 50 days ago.

President Trump took that action 50 whole days ago.

That same day, Joe Biden published this tweet:
