There are lots of videos showing how to make your own face mask, but the one I posted below will brighten your day. It's from Yokoya and her kid brother Shindo. Yokoyo is a child prodigy drummer who has won over the Youtube music community with her awesome talent and sweet personality.

Maximum expense, without entering codes, was just boosted from $100 to $250.

I didn't know that. Cool!

For herd immunity, large proportion of the population had to have been infected and recovered. I don't think that happened in OH.
As for vulnerable people having to figure out what kind of risk they are willing to take, who is going to pay these vulnerable people if their job place opens and they are not at work?
Is "sorry, I am vulnerable and thus not coming to work" going to get you a paycheck?
I am very curious about this because I am one of those vulnerable people.

If there is no herd immunity, maybe they will issue masks and recommend vulnerable people wear them, like they plan to do for those in Spain going back to work in construction and having to use mass transit. Isn't that what they are going to do in NYC?

Ms. Trump and her husband, Jared Kushner, who is also a senior White House adviser, traveled with their three children to the Trump National Golf Club Bedminster in New Jersey to celebrate the first night of Passover this month, according to two people with knowledge of their travel plans, even as seders across the country were canceled and families gathered remotely over apps like Zoom.

I saw this. Tut tut. I wonder if they'll resign like the Australian MP and Scotland's Chief Medical Officer did?

The Chinese Communist Party needs to work on 'transparency': Peter Dutton

Sky News Australia

...

Home Affairs Minister Peter Dutton says reports relating to Chinese flights out of Wuhan during the coronavirus outbreak demonstrate the need for “a level of transparency” on the part of the Chinese Communist party “that we haven’t seen before”.

The US state department have allegedly uncovered evidence indicating when the coronavirus first broke out, flights from Wuhan to other parts of China were stopped while international flights were allowed to continue.
...
Mr Dutton said told Sky News host Paul Murray questions raised about the Chinese Communist Party's response to the virus were “legitimate and reasonable”.

“This is not about Chinese people or Australian Chinese people.”

“It’s about the Communist Party of China and their behaviour and conduct,” he said.

Mr Murray said it was clear the Chinese Government “were concerned enough about what happened in their own country to lock things down, but not for planes that would end up in places like Australia”.

That is exactly what I was saying the other day, but I put some of the responsibility on the WHO. They told the world to keep international borders open even though they knew that China closed cities and national travel. There was one set of rules for China, and another set of rules for sharing the virus with the rest of the world.
