Today in COVID-19
Latest I’ve got, but it’s coming hard and fast:
Tom Hanks and his wife test positive for COVID-19
NBA has suspended the NBA season.
Trump bans travel to the US from Europe, except the UK.
Trump’s effort to play down the pandemic has worked…on Republicans.
Brazilian official (accused of corruption, of course) has tested positive for COVID-19 after spending the weekend at Mara Lago.
Trump loyalists test positive for COVID-19, including Matt Gaetz, who stupidly wore a gas mask in Congress last week to mock the threat. He wins Dumbass of the Week award.

Stocks fall into bear territory for the first time in 11 years in the face of Trump’s incoherent response to COVID-19 and Saudi-Russian oil price war.
Other than that, not a goddam thing happening right now.
