Adviser to Iran's Supreme leader dies from coronavirus, as other top officials infected

Iran has the second most deaths outside China. Adviser dead, VP and Health Minister infected. Mortality rate is in Iran (5%) is more than double what it is in China. Sounds like a recipe for disaster.

An adviser to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has died from the new coronavirus, as other top officials in the country are confirmed to be infected, according to multiple reports on Monday.

The Iranian Health Ministry recorded 523 new cases in the past 24 hours, bringing the country's known total to 1,501. They mark a 53 percent increase since the day before.

Mohammad Mirmohammadi, 71, was an Expediency Council member who advised Khamenei and settled disputes between him and parliament. COVID-19 has already infected Iran's vice president and deputy health minister.

His death comes after the government on Monday rejected help from Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, who announced last week the U.S. was concerned Iran may have covered up details on the spread of the virus.

France’s Louvre Museum shut down amid spreading coronavirus crisis
By Jackie SaloMarch 1, 2020 | 2:52pm

The Louvre Museum in France was closed Sunday amid fears that tourists visiting the famed site could infect its employees with the coronavirus.

The world’s most popular museum shut its doors to visitors while a staff meeting about the deadly virus was conducted. The virus has now spread to more than 60 countries on every continent except Antarctica.

“We are very worried because we have visitors from everywhere,” Andre Sacristin, a Louvre employee and union representative, told The Associated Press.

He added that employees also were concerned because museum workers from northern Italy — where the virus has raged — had come to the museum to collect works by Leonardo da Vinci that were loaned out.

Sacristin said concerns were expressed at the meeting that “it’s only a question of time” before the virus infects the Louvre’s 2,300 workers.

“The risk is very, very, very great,” he said.

The museum — which houses the Mona Lisa — had planned to open after the meeting between management, personnel and the staff doctor. But the Louvre later announced that it would not open at all Sunday, disgruntling a line of hopeful visitors.

“We waited for about 3 hours before giving up,” said Singapore visitor Charles Lim. “It was incredibly disappointing.”
It’s unclear when the museum will reopen; there will be another meeting about virus prevention Monday between union representatives and management.

The major tourist destination — which saw 9.6 million visitors last year — was not impacted by an order Saturday banning all public gatherings in the country of more than 5,000 people.

France has reported 100 cases and two deaths since December’s coronavirus outbreak in Wuhan, China.

NON BISE!

France urges people to stop double-cheek kisses to prevent coronavirus
By Jackie SaloMarch 1, 2020 | 1:11pm | Updated

Sacre bleu!

France is urging people to cut back on the customary double-cheek kiss in order to prevent the spread of the deadly coronavirus.

Health Minister Olivier Véran advised the country Saturday to refrain the traditional greeting known as “la bise,” in which people give kisses, or air kisses, on both cheeks.

“The reduction in social contacts of a physical nature is advised. That includes the practice of the bise,” Veran said at a press conference.

France, which has 100 confirmed coronavirus cases and two deaths from the virus, made similar recommendations during the swine flu outbreak.

The latest guidance comes after even French President Emmanuel Macron greeted Italian Premier with a kiss on not just one, but two separate occasions, during a summit last week in Naples.

The Italian government’s special commissioner for coronavirus, Angelo Borrelli, also warned against such displays of physical contact in the country, which has seen more than 1,100 people test positive for coronavirus and at least 29 deaths.

“We have a collective social life that is very florid, very expansive. We have lots of contact, we shake hands, we kiss each other, we hug each other,” Borelli told reporters. “Maybe it is better in this period not to shake hands, and do not have too much contact, and try to be a bit less expansive, which is different from how I am.”

Across the world, more than 87,000 people have been infected with the virus and nearly 3,000 have died since it emerged in Wuhan, China.

Pandemic

Before a Pandemic

Store a two week supply of water and food.
Periodically check your regular prescription drugs to ensure a continuous supply in your home.
Have any nonprescription drugs and other health supplies on hand, including pain relievers, stomach remedies, cough and cold medicines, fluids with electrolytes, and vitamins.
Get copies and maintain electronic versions of health records from doctors, hospitals, pharmacies and other sources and store them, for personal reference. Get help accessing electronic health records.
Talk with family members and loved ones about how they would be cared for if they got sick, or what will be needed to care for them in your home.

During a Pandemic

Limit the Spread of Germs and Prevent Infection

Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
When you are sick, keep your distance from others to protect them from getting sick too.
Cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. It may prevent those around you from getting sick.
Washing your hands often will help protect you from germs.
Avoid touching your eyes, nose or mouth.
Practice other good health habits. Get plenty of sleep, be physically active, manage your stress, drink plenty of fluids, and eat nutritious food.

Coronavirus bill overloaded with Pelosi's 'Christmas-tree ornaments,' says Republican who voted against it
https://www.foxnews.com/media/coron...rnaments-says-republican-who-voted-against-it

So among the ornaments... 15% of the $8.3B is for international aid, 6% for what sounds like it is totally unrelated to the Coronavirus, and more tagged to stockpiles of stuff not tagged for use now. So guessing at least a quarter of this bill wasn't necessary for Americans and the fight against of this virus.

But if you call BS on any of the unneeded spending, you're attacked for not caring...
Did any of these Dem shills criticize the shitty and slow response by Obama and Biden to H1N1?

Fuckall the dems addon spending, and fuckall Pelosi.

The Seattle Times has some good coverage of their coronavirus public health emergency.

 

[Irish#1]

If the NBA banned fans from attending games, they would be following the lead of other sports leagues, like the UEFA Champions League and Europa League, which have suspended games in front of crowds to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.

LeBron James is saying he won't play any games if the NBA decides not to allow fans if concerns about the virus are raised.

 

[IrishLax]

The Swine Flu had infected 20 million Americans with thousands dead before an emergency was declared. Only difference I see with level of panic is that social media is a thing in 2020 like it wasn't in 2009.

Family of Missouri's first coronavirus patient broke self-quarantine, attended school dance
By David Aaro | Fox News

The father of Missouri's first coronavirus patient disobeyed quarantine and went to a school dance with his other daughter on Saturday evening, officials said.

Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill School will close on Monday after administrators learned of the relationship between the patient and her younger sister — who goes to Villa and attended the social gathering. The father and daughter also went to a pre-dance party which consisted of other students in the St. Louis County area.

“If you attended the dance, please be attentive to any symptoms you are experiencing.” a message by Villa Duchesne said.

Villa is an all-girls school that serves grades seven through 12, while Oak Hill is a coed school that teaches preschool through grade six.

Whoops! We couldn't access this Tweet.

"We will work with officials to ensure we are doing everything possible to mitigate risk and to maintain our safe environment," said Villa Duchesne and Oak Hill (VDOH) communications director Alice Dickherber, according to the St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

The family was originally told to stay at home after their older daughter – who returned from Italy – contacted public health officials to report having symptoms of the fast-spreading virus on Thursday. She had been self quarantining herself at home with her parents who were not showing symptoms. She went to a hospital on Friday and tested "presumptively positive" on Saturday.

The family was told to stay at home, but the father brushed aside instructions by the state's health department, according to County Executive Sam Page.

They reportedly didn't learn of the diagnosis until after they were at the dance and left immediately, VDOH officials told parents in a letter, according to KMOV.

After going to the dance, Page said officials told the man on Sunday that "he must remain in his home or they will issue a formal quarantine that will require him and the rest of his family to stay in their home by the force of law."

“The likelihood of any of the Burroughs students contracting the virus is extraordinarily low,” said Burroughs head Andy Abbott in an email on Sunday night, according to the Post-Dispatch.

The first person to test positive in Missouri was a woman in her 20s who had returned from Italy and landed at Chicago O'Hare International Airport on Monday. The woman stayed with a friend in the area before taking an Amtrak to St Louis on Wednesday, according to a spokesman for Page. She had been studying abroad.

"Amtrak is notifying passengers and employees who may have been on the same train, and as a precaution, we have taken the train out of service for comprehensive cleaning and disinfection, and are also working to do a thorough disinfection of the Chicago and St. Louis stations," a statement said.

Investigators are trying to determine who the woman may have had prolonged contact with during her trip back to the U.S.

“We are looking at her travel schedule, being on trains and planes and staying in hotels, and local contacts.” said state department director, Dr. Randall Williams, according to the paper. “When we say contact, we mean 15 to 30 minutes within 6 feet of the person.”

Over 500 cases and 21 deaths from COVID-19 been reported in the U.S. so far.

The Swine Flu had infected 20 million Americans with thousands dead before an emergency was declared. Only difference I see with level of panic is that social media is a thing in 2020 like it wasn't in 2009.

Since 2010, CDC estimates that approximately 5 to 20 percent of the U.S. population (between 16.45 million and 65.8 million people) is infected with influenza each year. Given the death rate of coronavirus, if it has a similar rate of infection (it's likely to be higher since there is no vaccine), the 3.4% worldwide death rate would mean that between 16,400 and 65,000 people could die from this virus in the U.S. The government's contradictory messaging and failure to distribute testing kits in a timely manner are likely to make things worse. I fear we are only scratching the surface of how many are infected. As testing kits are distributed and folks are tested, we are likely to see a huge jump in the number of cases. My FB feed is already full of people arguing that the coronavirus is nothing to worry about, and they are tired of hearing about it. Gulp.

Twitter and FB are full of posts from two kinds of people

1. People who are concerned that people aren't freaking out enough
2. People who are concerned that too many people are freaking out.

Fuckall the dems addon spending, and fuckall Pelosi.

More like half the bill wasn't necessary. For example, $3B was targeted for developing a vaccine. Yet there are at least 9 US companies already working on a vaccine, as well as Sanofi (a large French pharm company) and an Israeli company that claims it will have a vaccine ready for testing in 30 days. So one has to wonder exactly who is going to get the $3B dedicated to vaccine research included in the bill?

Further they included $300M to ensure that vaccines, whenever they are made available, will be available to everyone, including those who cannot afford it. This is a complete waste for two reasons:

1. Vaccines are already covered by health insurance policies at no charge to the insured; and
2. If taxpayers are being asked to cover $3B to develop the vaccine, everyone should be getting it for free even if health insurance would not cover it.

And then there is the $1.25 billion (which you noted in your post) for "global health programs, economic support funds and diplomatic programs"; whatever that means other then apparently it does not need to be spent specifically for the treatment or controlling the spread of the corona virus.

So that's about $4.6B that does not need to be spent or has nothing to do with combating the virus in the US. I can understand why Rand Paul voted against the bill.

The constant add=on behavior is just par for the course. It's why folks like Legacy think we need more revenue (tax) than simply to curb spending and stop this kind of stupid shit.

 

[Legacy]

In another frustrating example of how Congress spends our money above the Defense Dept extravagant appropriations, that I previously posted, is the Secure Act (previously posted under Taxes), which was recently passed and has gone into effect.

One other key change in the new bill is paying for all this: the removal of a provision known as the stretch IRA. Stretch IRA has allowed non-spouses inheriting retirement accounts to stretch out disbursements over their lifetimes. The new rules will require a full payout from the inherited IRA within 10 years of the death of the original account holder, raising an estimated $15.7 billion in additional tax revenue.

So, if you want to pass along your savings, if you have one heir on a million bucks, they'll have to mandatorily withdraw $100,000 a year which will be taxed as personal income. That may be at the age when they have their maximum incomes.

Breakdown of coronavirus funding of $8.3 Billion:

— $826 million for developing coronavirus vaccines, treatments and tests. FDA is set to receive $61 million to speed review of those new therapies and handle potential drug and device shortages.

— $300 million to purchase vaccines and treatments once they’re approved. The language is a win for Republicans and the drug industry, which had balked at Democrats’ initial demand for penalizing drug makers if their medication prices are deemed too high.

— $950 million in grants to states and localities. The legislation mandates that half that sum be paid out within 30 days — a bid to alleviate the stress on front-line health departments.

— $3.1 billion in part to buy medical supplies. Congress wants to beef up the Strategic National Stockpile, which represents the nation’s largest repository of emergency treatments, and other resources for vaccine development and hospital preparedness.

- Community health centers on the front lines of the social safety net would get $100 million just as their funding is set to expire at the end of May.

- Another $10 million would go to the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences to put together trainings for health care workers on the front lines of the outbreak to avoid becoming infected.

- $500 million in Medicare telehealth funding.

These items may be related to funding for public health responses for outbreaks outside our borders.

- The legislation includes $300 million to continue the CDC’s programs to detect and respond to international disease outbreaks, and $435 million for global health programs at the State Department

- State’s international disaster assistance fund would get $300 million to provide humanitarian aid and address health needs in countries where the coronavirus is spreading.

CDC activates its Emergency Operations Center (EOC) which is agency’s command center for monitoring and coordinating emergency response to public health threats. Those are deactivated when the threats like Ebola, Zika, 2009 Flu pandemic resolve. Excess funding is shifted elsewhere. That's probably where the $300 mill above labeled "programs to detect and respond to international disease outbreaks" is going.

Twenty seven and a half million citizens do not have health insurance of any kind. Should others lose their insurance due to layoffs or elimination or limitations imposed on federal programs that provide funding for them in the near future some of this funding will provide vaccinations at little or no charge, helping to contain the spread.

The bill passed the House in a 415-2 vote. The Senate passed its version in a 96-1 vote,

IRA stands for Individual Retirement Account. They were never meant to be a method in which to accumulate wealth and then to be passed on to future generations. Rather, they were established to help individuals, who worked for companies that did not offer a company sponsored pension, save for retirement. Basically IRA's were suppose to be a self funded pension plan. Of course what they have became in some instances is a pseudo tax shelter for higher income employees. Further, the average IRA balance for individuals between the ages of 45-65 is roughly $150,000. I don't think that many individuals will actually be affected by the elimination of the "stretch" provision of the law. Given that only the wealthy individuals will really be impacted I am a little surprised that you seem against this.

Thank you for the detail and my original estimate was a little off. Based on the numbers it looks like $5.7 billion of the amount appropriated has no direct impact on combating the virus. So Trump's original request of a little over $2 billion was actually pretty accurate.
