BREAKING: Cleveland Clinic has begun its own testing for coronavirus. Results come back within Matt Wright Fox 8 on Twitter hours, compared with 3-4 days when sent to outside lab. Clinic has capacity to test 500 samples/day now, up to 1,000/day by next week.

What?

What? He knew he tested positive and still got on the plane??? We need to begin charging such people with a crime. He literally may have contributed to someone's death!!!

We’ve seen cases on the past where someone has knowingly spread herpes or HIV & faced criminal charges, so he should, imo.
Personally I think because 80% or more cases will be mild, people do not care. I think people in the 80% group feel the 20% in the higher risk group need to be proactive.

Charleston, SC - cruise - 3,000 people let off the boat today

Precautions I heard about from cruise passengers this AM:
- everyone's temp taken before boarding
- extra hand washing/sanitizer stations
- self-serve not allowed at some food stations
They said they were not screened again before getting off. What's happening with cruises in Charleston as coronavirus concerns escalate

It only shows up for me if I watch it. I quit watching it because I feel like I'm fully informed and only want to check what's going on from time to time. So strange.

Real quick, I wanted to share this with y'all. We just received the following email from our help desk at the military institution I work at:


"A malicious website pretending to be the live map for Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins University is circulating on the internet waiting for unwitting internet users to visit the website. Visiting the website infects the user with the AZORult trojan, an information stealing program which can exfiltrate a variety of sensitive data."

A malicious website pretending to be the live map for Coronavirus COVID-19 Global Cases by Johns Hopkins University is circulating on the internet waiting for unwitting internet users to visit the website. Visiting the website infects the user with the AZORult trojan, an information stealing program which can exfiltrate a variety of sensitive data. It is likely being spread via infected email attachments, malicious online advertisements, and social engineering. Furthermore, anyone searching the internet for a Coronavirus map could unwittingly navigate to this malicious website.

Threat Details: A sample of the malware being deployed by “corona-virus-map[dot]com” was submitted and analyzed by and received an extremely malicious threat score of 100/100 with Anti-virus (AV) detection at 76%. This sample was labelled by Hybrid-Analysis as a Trojan.

Sometimes I wish I could resign from the human race.

#BREAKING Pa Governor Tom Wolf orders major closures in Montgomery County including closing schools for 2 weeks!
Actually as a resident of this county I’m relieved. But obviously this puts a major strain on working parents. What an absolutely strange time we are living in. Of course the health and safety of everyone is of utmost importance and I’m so glad our leadership is making that a priority. #coronavirus

European Union (EU) leaders have blasted US President Trump’s decision to ban travel from Europe as global air traffic takes a steep dive in light of coronavirus.

On Thursday EU Commission President Ursula von der Leyen and EU Council President Charles Michel issued a joint statement taking aim at the “unilateral” decision saying the virus was “not limited to any continent.”

“The European Union disapproves of the fact that the U.S. decision to impose a travel ban was taken unilaterally and without consultation,” they said. “The coronavirus is a global crisis, not limited to any continent and it requires co-operation rather than unilateral action.”
EU fumes: ‘What airlines will exist?’
