| Doctor says Trump tests negative for coronavirus Posted: 14 Mar 2020 05:19 PM PDT  President Donald Trump has tested negative for the new coronavirus, according to the president's personal physician. The White House released the test results Saturday night after Trump told reporters hours earlier that he had taken the coronavirus test, following days of resisting being screened despite the fact that he had been in recent contact with three people who have tested positive for the virus, including members of the Brazilian president's delegation who visited with him at his Florida resort. Trump told reporters at a White House briefing on Saturday that he had his temperature taken and it was "totally normal," shortly before stepping into the room to discuss the government's efforts to halt the spread of the virus.

| Iran's coronavirus 'diagnosis' app looks more like a surveillance tool Posted: 14 Mar 2020 04:47 PM PDT  Iran is known to have one of the more serious coronavirus infection rates at the moment, but the country's government appears to be exploiting that for the sake of political control. Vice has learned that a government-endorsed app, AC19, poses as a tool to help diagnose the presence of the virus (a bogus claim by itself) but also asks for real-time location data -- clearly not necessary for telling someone whether or not they should go to the hospital. Moreover, the location permission request pop-up is in English -- and about 40 percent of Android users in Iran have phones with an OS old enough that they won't get that pop-up at all.

| What Trump’s new coronavirus travel restrictions mean for Americans abroad Posted: 14 Mar 2020 04:11 PM PDT  Americans returning to the U.S. after visiting certain foreign countries — including most of Europe — will be required to fly into one of 13 designated airports equipped to perform medical screening for coronavirus infection, according to senior Homeland Security officials who briefed reporters on background about the latest travel restrictions meant to control the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic. Starting Saturday, most foreign nationals who've visited China, Iran or one of the 26 countries in Europe's Schengen Area — where citizens can travel freely across national borders — within the past fourteen days are barred from entering the United States.

| Americans brace for new life of no school and growing dread Posted: 14 Mar 2020 03:51 PM PDT  Millions of Americans braced for the week ahead with no school for their children for many days to come, no clue how to effectively do their jobs without child care, and a growing sense of dread about how to stay safe and sane amid the relentless spread of the coronavirus. "Today looks so different from yesterday, and you just don't know what tomorrow is going to look like," said Christie Bauer, a family photographer and mother of three school-age children in West Linn, Oregon. Tens of millions of students nationwide have been sent home from school amid a wave of closings that include all of Ohio, Maryland, Oregon, Washington state, Florida and Illinois along with big-city districts like Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C. Some schools announced they will close for three weeks, others for up to six.

| What's Happening: Spain goes on lockdown to combat virus Posted: 14 Mar 2020 11:50 AM PDT  Governments are responding to the coronavirus pandemic by imposing tight restrictions on businesses and ordering people to stay home. Spain became the latest country to follow Italy's example by imposing nationwide restrictions. President Donald Trump, days after mingling with people who later tested positive for the virus at his private club in Florida, is now screening anyone who is coming into close contact with him and Vice President Mike Pence for fevers.

| Pence Announces New Travel Bans on United Kingdom and Ireland as Coronavirus Pandemic Spreads Posted: 14 Mar 2020 09:48 AM PDT  Vice President Mike Pence said Saturday that new travel bans would be implemented on the United Kingdom and Ireland as the novel coronavirus pandemic spreads.At a White House press conference with President Trump, the vice president said the ban would take effect from midnight Monday, but that U.S. citizens, permanent residents and their families would be allowed to return to the country through 13 airports where the Department of Homeland Security has established enhanced entry screening capabilities. Pence also encouraged individuals returning from those countries to self-quarantine for two weeks.The decision came after the U.S. restricted travel from Europe earlier this week in the wake of growing coronavirus outbreaks in several major European countries. Last week, the World Health Organization declared Europe the new "epicenter" of the coronavirus epidemic. By Saturday, more than 145,000 infections and over 5,400 deaths had been recorded worldwide. The United States has confirmed at least 2,112 cases and 47 deaths, according to the Associated Press.Travel to the U.S. will now be restricted from China, Iran and 28 European countries including the U.K. Ireland, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Italy, Latvia, Liechtenstein, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Malta, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Slovenia, Spain, Sweden, and Switzerland.The United Kingdom had initially been spared when Trump announced in a Wednesday evening address that he would be banning European travel. However, U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson has been criticized at home for his government's slow response to the coronavirus. He initially balked at the kind of mass closures and restrictions that many other European countries have taken, though the government indicated that it would likely ban mass gatherings beginning next week. Other European countries have taken more serious steps to attempt to slow the spread of the virus. Both Spain and Italy have announced national lockdowns of businesses and restricted most travel inside their countries, while at least ten countries have begun enforcing border closures. "We're using the full power of the government to defeat the virus," Trump said on Saturday.House lawmakers approved legislation to counter the escalating coronavirus outbreak early on Saturday morning, capping two days of negotiations between Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) and the Trump administration. The bill provides expanded paid sick leave and unemployment insurance for those dealing with the virus, offers free testing for all, and increases Medicaid funding for local health care systems.While Republicans initially had misgivings with proposals in the bill, GOP leaders claimed credit for forcing changes, and ultimately an overwhelming number in both parties voted in favor of the package.Read more at The Daily Beast.Get our top stories in your inbox every day.

| 3 Americans, 2 Iraqis wounded in in rare daylight airstrike targeting Iraqi base Posted: 14 Mar 2020 08:04 AM PDT  A U.S. spokesperson said at least 25 rockets landed inside Camp Taji, a military base north of Baghdad housing U.S. and other coalition troops in what appears to be a continuation of retaliatory attacks between the U.S. and Iran following the assassination of Iranian Maj. Gen. Qassem Soleimani earlier this year.The strike, which in a rare scenario happened in broad daylight, reportedly wounded three Americans and two Iraqis.The attack occurred not long after a similar strike Wednesday at the base killed three servicemen, including two Americans, in what was the deadliest attack for U.S. troops in Iraq since late December, the event which eventually led to Soleimani's death. The Wednesday attack prompted the U.S. to strike against what U.S. officials said were weapons facilities belonging to the Iran-backed Kataib Hezbollah militia group.Iran-backed groups vowed revenge for Friday's strikes.

The coronavirus outbreak has overturned American life, but it is unclear whether the unfolding crisis changes a race that Biden controls with more than half the delegates already awarded. Sanders has been saying that the pandemic demonstrates the need for his "Medicare for All" universal health insurance plan, along with other expansion of a social safety net.

| Dems, GOP forge virus outbreak into '20 campaign issue Posted: 14 Mar 2020 06:35 AM PDT  Coronavirus is already coloring the 2020 campaign, with Democrats convinced President Donald Trump's response to the outbreak leaves him and down-ballot Republicans vulnerable over the burgeoning health crisis, his competency and — potentially most damaging — the staggering economy. Republicans are fighting back by accusing Democrats of politicizing the fight against the virus and COVID-19, the sometimes deadly disease it causes.

| Syria death toll 384,000 after nine years of war: monitor Posted: 14 Mar 2020 06:13 AM PDT  At least 384,000 people have died in Syria, including more than 116,000 civilians, since the war began in March 2011, the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights said on Saturday. As the war enters its 10th year, the government of President Bashar al-Assad now controls more than 70 percent of Syrian territory, thanks to the military support of its allies Russia, Iran and Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. The conflict is the "worst man-made disaster since World War II," the United Nations human rights chief declared in 2017.

| Trump’s latest travel ban highlights gaps in containment net Posted: 14 Mar 2020 06:05 AM PDT  In the weeks before President Donald Trump spoke from the Oval Office to announce restrictions on travelers from more than two dozen countries in Europe, thousands of people from the region already had stepped off planes at U.S. airports, and an untold number of them carried the coronavirus. The same can be said of flights from China in the weeks before the U.S. clamped down on those. Thousands who visited the country where the illness began had entered the United States without any kind of health review.

"It would be nice if the office was still there," Dr. Anthony Fauci, the director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases at the National Institute of Health, told Congress this week. The NSC directorate for global health and security and bio-defense survived the transition from President Barack Obama to Trump in 2017.

| AP FACT CHECK: Trump, American exceptionalism and the virus Posted: 14 Mar 2020 05:32 AM PDT  Americans normally hear from President Donald Trump when he is opining on Twitter, riffing from a rally stage or otherwise improvising. Most broadly, Trump hailed American exceptionalism in health care and science — "The virus will not have a chance against us" — even as the public health system failed in making diagnostic testing accessible to all who need it. This, as the government's top infection expert, Dr. Anthony Fauci, was telling lawmakers: "It is a failing, let's admit it."

| The Saudi-Russian oil price war explained Posted: 14 Mar 2020 02:55 AM PDT  The smartest insight and analysis, from all perspectives, rounded up from around the web:An oil-price war between Russia and Saudi Arabia sent more shock waves through "a world economy already reeling from the coronavirus," said Verity Ratcliffe at Bloomberg. Oil prices plunged by almost a third, the biggest drop since 1991, after Russia "refused to yield to a Saudi-led gambit to force Moscow to join OPEC in production cuts" last week. The Russian rebuff led Saudi Arabia to respond with fury, "slashing pricing for its crude by the most in more than 30 years" to roughly $31 a barrel. The gush of Saudi oil "if sustained, would savage national budgets from Venezuela to Iran, threaten the heartland of America's shale revolution, and upend politics around the world." The turmoil, on top of the coronavirus crisis, shook financial markets, with U.S. stocks plunging by 7 percent early in the week. The Saudis knew there'd be serious economic consequences, but they were not going to let Vladimir Putin bully them, said Anjli Raval and David Sheppard at the Financial Times. It's a gamble, but the kingdom had "to punish Russia for abandoning" the allegiance it had forged to "prop up the oil market since 2016."The U.S. economy could be a big loser in this, said David Fickling at Bloomberg. American shale producers, which have helped the U.S. become a net energy exporter, still need roughly $44 per barrel to break even. American investors "have been falling out of love with crude production for a while," and they'll be reluctant to put in the capital necessary to withstand "trench warfare with Russia and Saudi Arabia." Expect shrinking and consolidation of the U.S. shale industry. Our Middle Eastern "ally" has decided to "undermine an important part of the U.S. economy at a critical time," said Daniel Larison at The American Conservative. Maybe now the U.S. will realize it "owes Saudi Arabia nothing and should stop supporting it."No, said Bill Farren-Price at the Financial Times, this is not the Saudis' fault. Moscow started this — and "has effectively sent its tanks on to the White House lawn." Putin finally grasped what's "been haunting oil officials in Saudi Arabia" for years: That OPEC's production cuts have benefited the U.S. shale explosion, threatening Russian exports to Europe and Asia. "Moscow has taken aim at President Trump's much-vaunted U.S. energy independence" with what amounts to an "economic smash-and-grab.""There are rare moments when the world economy seems to be reconfiguring itself beneath our feet," said Neil Irwin at The New York Times. "March 2020 is one of those moments." As major industries grapple with the spread of COVID-19, an oil-price war "could cause widespread bankruptcies in the American energy industry" and crush capital investment, since "spending on energy is a major driver of demand for heavy industrial equipment." American businesses have borrowed heavily at low rates. Their debt gives them little room to "withstand the occasional hiccup in demand or a problem with supplies." That in turn makes lenders vulnerable and raises the chance they will pull back just as businesses need money. Combined with coronavirus' decimation of consumer-driven demand, this puts "numerous industries under pressure in ways that could bounce off one another — through financial markets, to the economy, and back again."This article was first published in the latest issue of The Week magazine.

| US sees new pressure point as coronavirus hits Iran Posted: 14 Mar 2020 01:10 AM PDT  After months of piling pressure on Tehran, the United States is seeing an unexpected new variable -- the novel coronavirus, which has taken a substantial toll not just on Iran but inside its government. US policymakers are asking whether deaths within the regime are widespread enough that they could alter decision-making -- although a deadly rocket attack Wednesday in Iraq, which Washington blamed on Iran, showed at least that the cycle of conflict between the countries is not abating. COVID-19, which has infected tens of thousands of people around the world, has hit Iran's government unusually hard, with a number of senior politicians and officials killed or infected by the disease including a vice president, a senior adviser to the foreign minister and a powerful cleric.

The six-month-old movement has faced one setback after another, from the shifting positions of a mercurial Shiite cleric to an apathetic political class and, now, fears over an outbreak of the coronavirus that Iraq's decrepit health system has struggled to contain, with nearly 93 confirmed cases and nine deaths. Where once Baghdad's Tahrir Square had seen thousands every day, now only a few hundred protesters turn up.

| Trump says he's likely to be tested after repeat exposure Posted: 13 Mar 2020 07:12 PM PDT  President Donald Trump said Friday he will "most likely" be tested for the novel coronavirus, as questions swirled about why he, his top aides and his family weren't doing more to protect themselves and others after repeated exposure to COVID-19. Trump has now had multiple direct and indirect contacts with people who have tested positive for the pandemic virus, which on Friday prompted him to declare a state of emergency as schools and workplaces across the country shuttered, flights were canceled and Americans braced for war against the threat. Trump spent time last weekend at his private club in Florida with at least three people who have now tested positive.
