Health / Farmers Kill Piglets As Coronavirus Slams Meat Industry by NationGist: 9:06pm On Apr 28, 2020
Pig farmers are reportedly killing piglets and giving sows abortions as the coronavirus crisis upends the American meat industry.

Some farmers have resorted to such measures as they run low on space to house their livestock now that the pandemic has shut down about 20 processing plants and slaughterhouses in North America, according to Reuters.

Roughly nine producers in Iowa including farmer Dean Meyer have started euthanizing some 125 newborn piglets each week until they get a break from the recent disruptions, the news agency reported Monday. The tiny pig corpses are reportedly composted so they can be used as fertilizer.

Health / US Coronavirus News: Now Trump Says It’s Wrong To Compare Coronavirus To Regular by NationGist: 8:21pm On Apr 01, 2020
WASHINGTON: US President Donald Trump said Tuesday that the risk from coronavirus is emphatically worse than regular flu, reversing his previous statements.
Trump told a White House press conference that “a lot of people” had previously suggested the country should simply let the coronavirus take its course, just like the seasonal flu.
“Ride it out, don’t do anything, just ride it out and think of it as the flu,” they said, according to Trump, who said: “But it’s not the flu. It is vicious.” Trump’s clear statement contrasted with numerous recent times when he made the argument himself that the pandemic was comparable to the annual spread of flu.
He appeared to favor this thinking while questioning the need to shut down the US economy through social distancing measures and travel bans. On March 9, for example, Trump noted that tens of thousands of Americans die from the flu annually.
“Nothing is shut down, life & the economy go on,” he had tweeted on March 9. “At this moment there are 546 confirmed cases of CoronaVirus, with 22 deaths. Think about that!” Just a week ago, Trump told Fox News in an interview that despite deaths of about 36,000 people a year on average from flu, “we’ve never closed down the country for the flu.” “So you say to yourself, ‘What is this all about?'”

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson said on Friday he had tested positive for coronavirus and was self-isolating at Downing Street but would still lead the government’s response to the accelerating outbreak.
Johnson, 55, experienced mild symptoms on Thursday – a day after he answered at the prime minister’s weekly question-and-answer session in parliament’s House of Commons chamber.
“I’ve taken a test. That has come out positive,” Johnson said in a video statement broadcast on Twitter. “I’ve developed mild symptoms of the coronavirus. That’s to say – a temperature and a persistent cough.
“So I am working from home. I’m self-isolating,” Johnson said. “Be in no doubt that I can continue, thanks to the wizardry of modern technology, to communicate with all my top team to lead the national fightback against coronavirus.”

Celebrities / ‘walking Dead’ Actor Daniel Newman ‘disgusted’ At $9K Coronavirus Test Bill by NationGist: 7:21am On Mar 25, 2020
Even celebrities can’t get their coronavirus test results in the United States — just the bill.

After having a colleague test positive for COVID-19 and developing minor symptoms himself, “The Walking Dead” actor Daniel Newman sought to be tested in Georgia. He called around and discovered his own doctor and many urgent-care clinics didn’t even have the tests available. When he finally found a large hospital in Atlanta that did have them, it was only after Newman was recognized for his role on the AMC horror TV series that he was given one.

“Preferential treatment is disgusting,” Newman, 38, tells CNN of being among the few to receive a test for the novel coronavirus. But apparently, even fame isn’t enough to get the results of the test — only an invoice to the tune of $9,116.

Health / Social Distancing Is Key To Flatten Coronavirus Curve, Says ICMR Model by NationGist: 10:53pm On Mar 24, 2020
NEW DELHI: Strictly implemented social distancing measures such as home quarantine can reduce the overall expected number of cases by 62% and peak number of cases by 89%, thus “flattening” the curve and providing more opportunities for interventions, a mathematical modelling done by the Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) shows.
The findings of the study also suggest that screening of travellers at entry points can delay introduction of the virus into the community by three days to three weeks.

WASHINGTON: Taking dramatic action, President Donald Trump sharply restricted passenger travel from 26 European nations to the U.S. and moved to ease the economic cost of a viral pandemic that is roiling global financial markets and disrupting the daily lives of Americans.
Trump, in a rare Oval Office address to the nation Wednesday night, said the month-long restriction on travel would begin late Friday, at midnight. After days of playing down the coronavirus threat, he blamed Europe for not acting quickly enough to address the “foreign virus” and claimed that U.S. clusters were “seeded” by European travelers.

Celebrities / ‘little Fires Everywhere’ Is ‘big Little Lies’ With A Blowtorch by NationGist: 2:00am On Mar 12, 2020
The arrival of a stranger in town turns the genteel suburb of Shaker Heights, Ohio, upside down in “Little Fires Everywhere,” an adaptation of the best selling novel by Celeste Ng.

The eight-episode limited series, set in 1997, opens, fittingly enough, with a scene of devastation. Elena Richardson (Reese Witherspoon) stands in front of a burning house — the one where she lives with her husband and four children. Elena is one of the town’s self-appointed gatekeepers, a micromanager whose need to control has turned at least one of her children — Izzie (Megan Stott), the youngest — against her. Her phone call to the local police about the presence of an “older model” blue hatchback with an “African-American” woman behind the wheel in a local parking lot sets in motion the chain of events that ultimately sparks the fire that burns her house to the ground.
