The news came after a Chinese city drafted a law to forbid the consumption of the pets to improve food safety in the wake of the coronavirus outbreak.

Guo Changgang, an academic from Shanghai, called for Beijing to set up legislation and impose the restriction across the country.

It is not recommended by CDC for healthy people to wear face masks. People that are affected or showing symptoms, those family members caring for them and health care workers should wear them.

I can’t get past the paywall. Is there more there that we should be aware of?

"Mr. Trump said that “Mike is going to be in charge, and Mike will report back to me.”

"Even during his news conference on Wednesday, Mr. Trump rejected the assessment from a top health official that it was inevitable that the coronavirus would spread more broadly inside the United States."

"Dr. Anthony S. Fauci, one of the country’s leading experts on viruses and the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infections Diseases, told associates that the White House had instructed him not to say anything else without clearance."

Gov. Newsom: 28 positive coronavirus cases in California

"Newsom said state officials are in constant contact with the CDC and they are conducting "deep tracking and tracing" of patients.

On Wednesday, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reported a coronavirus case in California, which could be the first in the U.S. that has no known connection to travel abroad or another known case, a possible sign the virus is spreading in a U.S. community, health officials said. On Wednesday, President Trump also addressed the nation about the spread of the disease as well.

Newsom said that in all there are only 28 cases of people who have tested positive for coronavirus in California. There had been 33, but five people had moved out of the state.

Newsom said California is working "very collaboratively" with the Trump administration, pointing out that many repatriation flights of passengers have been taken in and cared for at Travis Air Force Base in Fairfield and other bases in the state."

Yep. We all know what happened to my first supply of “emergency ice cream”. Got into it at night and woke up sick to my tummy. That’s why I haven’t gone back to get more ice cream. Can’t be trusted.

I guess we have a few good pieces of news we can squeeze out of this virus outbreak. Businesses that deal with long lasting foods like MREs are probably seeing their business sky rocket. Same for any store or supplier of Masks and Disposable gloves.
