The sketch parodied proceedings that happened in the Senate over the last two weeks, reimagining a trial in which witnesses like former National Security Adviser John Bolton, former Vice President Joe Biden’s son, Hunter, and Trump appear for testimony.
After appearances by “Lindsey Graham,” and “Mitch McConnell,” Alec Baldwin’s Trump enters the chamber, where he insists he didn’t withhold aide to Ukraine because he’s a “sick old man.”
“How could I withhold aid from Ukraine? I can barely get around the house,” he said.
“Ladies and gentlemen of this government place, what I’ve learned from this trial is that clearly nothing I do or say has any consequence, so I’d like to come clean about everything,” Baldwin’s Trump adds later. “The call with the Ukraine wasn’t perfect; it was illegal.

Kenan Thompson, playing reality TV host Judge Greg Mathis, finds Trump guilty of all charges, fining the president $10,000 and ordering him to say something nice about House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.).

China has gone from constructing ghost cities to now erecting hospitals to treat coronavirus patients. As we’ve reported, China could be hiding the true number of confirmed cases and deaths, and in some cases, not reporting the deaths at all, and “immediately” hauling the bodies down the street to a local crematorium, effectively burning the evidence.
The government’s official death toll on Saturday night topped 300, with more than 14,550 cases reported globally.
China is attempting to show the world, it has been proactive and responsible during the outbreak, and in one way that it can optically please everyone that it has everything under control, is to build a hospital in Wuhan, the epicenter of where the deadly virus supposedly began.
UK researchers have warned upwards of 75,000 could be infected in Wuhan, as more than 137,600 have been placed under observation across China.
While China and the World Health Organization (WHO) attempt to calm fears of a deadly virus outbreak, the actions by Beijing in locking down dozens of cities and quarantining 50 million people or more, suggest the situation remains severe.

Though as we’ve noted before, China stalled for weeks if not a month, with minimal action in attempting to contain the virus and notify world health officials about the developing incident, hence why confirmed cases are now seen across the world.
State-owned China Global Television Network (CGTN) published satellite images of the facility’s construction, declaring the hospital was completed on Saturday and can start receiving patients next week.

newswars--2020-02-02--Philippines Reports First Death Due To Coronavirus Outside China; 137,600 Under Observation In China

• First death outside China reported in Philippines • Suspected case being tested in New York City • Hong Kong health-care workers threaten to strike unless border to mainland closed Scientific report from Kusuma school of biological sciences in New Delhi proves the Coronavirus is man-made The Philippines office of the World Health Organization has reported the first death of a coronavirus victim outside of China .
A 44-year-old male was confirmed as the second person with the 2019 novel coronavirus in the Philippines .
He passed away on February 1 2020 .
There are currently 114 cases worldwide ( @ @ @ @ @ @ @ : There were 45 new deaths reported in Hubei China , sending the global death toll to 304 as China ’ s CDC reports 2,589 new infections , bringing China ’ s total to 14,380 of which Hubei Province has reported 9,074 cases ( including 4109 cases in Wuhan ) .
With another 173 outside the mainland , the new global total is 14,550 as of Sunday morning in China .
Additionally , there were a total of 19,544 suspected case in China ( up from 17,988 yesterday ) , and the total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a whopping 137,594 , an increase of over 19,000 from 118,478 .
And as the number of cases and deaths continues to grow almost geometrically , there was one silver lining : the number of discharged patients jumped to 328 , for the first time surpassing the number of deaths by 24 .
Update ( 1645ET ) : The New York Times reports that NYC has yet another suspected case of the coronavirus .
This is at least the third report of a suspected coronavirus patient in NYC or New Jersey .
The @ @ @ @ @ @ @ wearing masks more common throughout the Five Boroughs .
The suspected patient is in their 40s and recently returned from China suffering from telltale symptoms including fever , cough and shortness of breath .
The suspected virus carrier is undergoing testing at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan .
City health officials have been bracing for a case given NYC ’ s large population of Chinese immigrants .
NYC has already struggled with outbreaks recently , including an outbreak of measles in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community .
Testing at the CDC will take a minimum @ @ @ @ @ @ @ on testing capacity .
That ’ s all we know for now .
Update ( 1400ET ) : The Global Times , a popular mouthpiece for the Chinese government , has acknowledged that the outbreak has reached a “ critical ” situation , and that many places in China would “ extend ” the ‘ Spring Festival ’ holiday .
Just another piece of faux-sympathy as the government pushes the “ full transparency ” angle .
Update ( 1255ET ) : According to officials with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health , the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ confirmed in the state on Saturday afternoon .
Boston health officials said the man is in his 20s , contracted the deadly virus after he returned from a trip in Wuhan , China .
The Boston Public Health Commission said the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control Prevention was notified about the lab results on Friday evening .
“ He has been isolated since that time and will continue to remain isolated until cleared by public health officials , ” the department said , adding that his few close contacts have been identified @ @ @ @ @ @ @ of symptoms .
“ We are grateful that this young man is recovering and sought medical attention immediately , ” said the state ’ s public health commissioner , Monica Bharel .
“ Again , the risk to the public from the 2019 novel coronavirus remains low in Massachusetts.
” This is the eighth case of confirmed coronavirus in the US after the 7th was confirmed in the Bay Area on Friday afternoon .
Meanwhile , Australia ’ s flag carrier Qantas is the latest airline to cancel flights between China after that @ @ @ @ @ @ @ been to Hubei traveling in the country .
Though US has taken steps to stop foreigners who might be an infection risk from entering the country , airline employees are pushing for all American carriers to temporarily suspend all flights to and from China .
The Association of Flight Attendants , representing 50,000 flight attendants at 20 airlines has called for “ clear direction from our government to U.S. airlines to pull down all travel to China until the spread of coronavirus is contained , ” in a statement shared by ABC News @ @ @ @ @ @ @ is dialing up the propaganda as public anger ( which has been manipulated to focus on local officials who have been scapegoated by Beijing ) crests .
There ’ s more where that came from .
Update ( 1230ET ) : Vietnam has become the latest country to strictly limit travel with China .
SCMP reports that the country has banned all passenger plane traffic to and from mainland China , Taiwan , Hong Kong and Macau .
Apparently , Vietnam , which has confirmed several cases , including at least one instances @ @ @ @ @ @ @ think much of the WHO ’ s assurances .
Can ’ t say we blame them .
Meanwhile , back in China , a citizen journalist took a video of a sea of unopened boxes allegedly containing medical supplies .
We ’ ve reported in the past that the government is largely relying on ‘ volunteers ’ to open boxes and sort supplies , leading to massive backlogs .
But of course Beijing has everything under control…just so long as you don ’ t leave your house/apartment/whatever .
Since our last update Friday @ @ @ @ @ @ @ in China has reportedly gone from bad to worse .
The true extent of Beijing ’ s ‘ quarantine ’ has been exposed – and not just the ridiculously oppressive tactics exercised on sick people simply out trying to buy food so they don ’ t starve , but the even more bizarre notion that the WHO has decided to try and validate Beijing ’ s response when all evidence suggests that public relations is and always will be Beijing ’ s No .
1 concern .
By most recent count , total @ @ @ @ @ @ @ deaths inside China have hit 259 .
More than 100,000 people are still under observation , as we reported last night .
The 46 new deaths announced last night ( Saturday morning in China ) was the largest daily death toll ( that was the total from Friday ) since the start of the crisis .
To that end , a report reportedly signed by hundreds of doctors blaming the Communist Party ’ s leadership for waiting a month to inform the Chinese public and the international community that the virus could spread @ @ @ @ @ @ @ apparently aware of this fact as early as mid-December , yet they actively concealed it until the situation started getting out of hand and cases were being confirmed in neighboring countries .
China ’ s finance ministry has finally announced that it ’ s going to lift import taxes on American-made medical products needed to help combat the outbreak ( it ’ s interesting how it took them nearly – checks notes – two months since the start of the outbreak to lift the trade-war tariffs ) .
ABC News is the latest @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Wuhan via drone .
The haunting footage clearly shows the scope of the lockdown .
An entire city as big as New York , with almost nobody outside or in the streets .
This is becoming an increasingly common sight across China .
We got some interesting corporate news overnight : Apple announced early Saturday that it would close all of its stores and offices in China at least through Feb. 9 .
Already , the factories of many of its suppliers ( like Foxconn ) have been impacted by holiday “ extensions @ @ @ @ @ @ @ at least early Feb. As of midday on Saturday , at least 19 provinces , municipalities and regions have told businesses not to resume work before Feb. 10 at the earliest , according to CNBC , which also noted that Disney , Tesla several US airlines and myriad other American business have suspended operations in China .
Hubei , the center of the outbreak , has reportedly extended its Lunar New Year holiday until Feb. 13 .
On Saturday , Huanggang , a city of 6 million people near Wuhan , has banned @ @ @ @ @ @ @ effort to stop the coronavirus .
The ban states that 1 person per family can leave every other day to buy basic needs .
It ’ s the first city to declare a lockdown on par with Wuhan ’ s total ban of people leaving their homes .
Meanwhile Huanggang ’ s mayor warned on Saturday that a “ significant ” increase in the number of confirmed cases on Saturday or Sunday .
Here ’ s a video of a doctor from Huanggang saying the media won ’ t dare report the true @ @ @ @ @ @ @ it ’ s almost as bad as Wuhan .
The scapegoating of local officials by Beijing continued on Saturday , when more than 300 party officials from Huanggang were punished for failing in their duty .
Though we ’ re hearing labels like these used far less often than we were just last week , it appears the “ fearmongers ” and “ alarmists ” were once again correct to be skeptical of the information coming out of Beijing .
A few days ago , Zero Hedge was declared alarmists for discussing the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ particularly deadly seasonal illness , like the flu .
The mainstream press has now apparently decided to take the warnings of epidemiologists seriously .
When the WHO first declared that travel restrictions on China simply weren ’ t necessary , even as Beijing quarantined more than 50 million of its own people , we wondered how the organization could possibly expect the world to listen , considering that Russia had already closed its border with China , and dozens of countries had already imposed some kind of restriction , while more than 40 @ @ @ @ @ @ @ On Saturday morning , Australia joined the US in temporarily blocking all foreigners who have recently visited China .
Japan said it would bar visitors who had been to Hubei in the last 2 weeks , or had passports issued in Hubei , according to the New York Times .
Then we heard Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam tell the people that complete shutdown of travel to China wouldn ’ t be necessary .
Once again , Lam was doing the leadership ’ s bidding to the detriment of her local popularity @ @ @ @ @ @ @ handed the workers all the ammunition they need to successfully challenge , and defeat , the city government .
Thousands of Hong Kong doctors , nurses and hospital employees have voted for a strike which could begin as early as Monday .
The reason ?
To pressure the city government to close all borders with mainland China .
This isn ’ t the first bout of virus-related unrest to rock Hong Kong .
Last week , a group of locals set fires and rioted in response to rumors that the government planned to @ @ @ @ @ @ @ into a quarantine , according to SCMP .
Reports that the Hong Kong government has found 49 people from Hubei after searching about 500 hotels has only ratcheted up public anxiety .
The individuals are reportedly being moved to quarantine centers .
The pledge of action by thousands of nurses and hospital workers is picking up steam as more local unions are joining the movement .
Pretty soon , Lam will have no choice but to close the border with China , which would be a major blow to global confidence in Beijing @ @ @ @ @ @ @ have a few other demands : that the government make clear policies to ensure a supply of surgical masks , a halt on non-emergency services and an increase in the number of isolation wards at hospitals , as well as better support for medical practitioners and an open promise not to punish those who participate in the strike .
Back on the mainland , local authorities have taken to using drones to ‘ name and shame ’ anybody who disobeys the isolation orders .
Here are a few examples : Across China , @ @ @ @ @ @ @ spray public streets ( another shock-and-awe measure with little real-world advantage ) .
Before we go , here ’ s a complete list of countries that have confirmed cases of the virus : Thailand , Japan , Hong Kong , Singapore , Taiwan , Australia , Malaysia , Macau , Russia , France , the United States , South Korea , Germany , the United Arab Emirates , Canada , Britain , Vietnam , Italy , India , the Philippines , Nepal , Cambodia , Sri Lanka , Finland and Sweden .
Meanwhile @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Vietnam , Japan , France and the US has confirmed human-to-human transmission involving at least one person who hadn ’ t been to China .

Scientific report from Kusuma school of biological sciences in New Delhi proves the Coronavirus is man-made
Update (2200ET): The Philippines office of the World Health Organization has reported the first death of a coronavirus victim outside of China.
A 44-year-old male was confirmed as the second person with the 2019 novel coronavirus in the Philippines.
He passed away on February 1 2020.

There are currently 114 cases worldwide (ex-China)…
* * *
Update (1900ET): There were 45 new deaths reported in Hubei China, sending the global death toll to 304 as China’s CDC reports 2,589 new infections, bringing China’s total to 14,380 of which Hubei Province has reported 9,074 cases (including 4109 cases in Wuhan).
With another 173 outside the mainland, the new global total is 14,550 as of Sunday morning in China. Additionally, there were a total of 19,544 suspected case in China (up from 17,988 yesterday), and the total number of cases under observation is now a whopping 137,594, an increase of over 19,000 from 118,478.
And as the number of cases and deaths continues to grow almost geometrically, there was one silver lining: the number of discharged patients jumped to 328, for the first time surpassing the number of deaths by 24.

Update (1645ET): The New York Times reports that NYC has yet another suspected case of the coronavirus. This is at least the third report of a suspected coronavirus patient in NYC or New Jersey.
The scares have made the sight of people wearing masks more common throughout the Five Boroughs.
The suspected patient is in their 40s and recently returned from China suffering from telltale symptoms including fever, cough and shortness of breath.
The suspected virus carrier is undergoing testing at Bellevue Hospital in Manhattan.
NEW YORK CITY HEALTH DEPARTMENT TESTING PATIENT FOR CORONAVIRUS
NYC HEALTH OFFICIALS SUSPECT A PATIENT HAS CORONAVIRUS: NYT
NYC OFFICIALS AWAITING CONFIRMATION FROM FEDERAL AGENCY: NYT
SUSPECTED NYC CORONAVIRUS PATIENT IS AT BELLEVUE HOSPITAL: NYT
City health officials have been bracing for a case given NYC’s large population of Chinese immigrants.
“An individual with a travel history to China felt unwell and sought help from a medical provider who promptly contacted the Health Department,” said the health commissioner, Dr. Oxiris Barbot.
NYC has already struggled with outbreaks recently, including an outbreak of measles in the ultra-orthodox Jewish community.
The first person in NYC has been identified for testing for the novel #coronavirus. This means they had recently traveled from China & presented with fever and cough or shortness of breath without another common cause, like influenza and other cold viruses, identified on testing. — nycHealthy (@nycHealthy) February 1, 2020
The individual, who is under-40-years-old, has been hospitalized at NYC Health + Hospital/Bellevue and is in stable condition. Testing to determine whether this is a confirmed case of the novel #coronavirus will take a minimum of 36-48 hours and depends on CDC testing capacity. — nycHealthy (@nycHealthy) February 1, 2020
There are now eight confirmed cases in the United States and over 12,000 worldwide. At least 259 people have died. The novel (new) #coronavirus is a strain of coronavirus that has not been previously detected in humans. — nycHealthy (@nycHealthy) February 1, 2020
Testing at the CDC will take a minimum of 36 – 48 hours, depending on testing capacity.
That’s all we know for now.

Update (1400ET): The Global Times, a popular mouthpiece for the Chinese government, has acknowledged that the outbreak has reached a “critical” situation, and that many places in China would “extend” the ‘Spring Festival’ holiday.
Coronavirus outbreak is in a critical situation. People hope an inflection point will emerge in a week. By then direct impact of people who left Wuhan will be fully sapped. The next few days are very crucial. Many places in China extend Spring Festival holiday further. — Hu Xijin 胡锡进 (@HuXijin_GT) February 1, 2020
Just another piece of faux-sympathy as the government pushes the “full transparency” angle.

Update (1255ET): According to officials with the Massachusetts Department of Public Health, the first case of novel coronavirus has been confirmed in the state on Saturday afternoon.
#BREAKING: Health officials announce the first case of the #coronavirus in Massachusetts. They say a #Boston man in his 20s tested positive. He recently traveled to Wuhan, China. He sought medical care soon after his return to MA & has been isolated since that time. #WBZ — Anna Meiler (@AnnaMeiler) February 1, 2020
Boston health officials said the man is in his 20s, contracted the deadly virus after he returned from a trip in Wuhan, China.
The Boston Public Health Commission said the U.S. Centers for Disease and Control Prevention was notified about the lab results on Friday evening.
“He has been isolated since that time and will continue to remain isolated until cleared by public health officials,” the department said, adding that his few close contacts have been identified and are being monitored for any signs of symptoms.
“We are grateful that this young man is recovering and sought medical attention immediately,” said the state’s public health commissioner, Monica Bharel. “Again, the risk to the public from the 2019 novel coronavirus remains low in Massachusetts.”
Fortunately he is ‘recovering’.

This is the eighth case of confirmed coronavirus in the US after the 7th was confirmed in the Bay Area on Friday afternoon.
Meanwhile, Australia’s flag carrier Qantas is the latest airline to cancel flights between China after that country cracked down on foreigners who have been to Hubei traveling in the country.
Though US has taken steps to stop foreigners who might be an infection risk from entering the country, airline employees are pushing for all American carriers to temporarily suspend all flights to and from China. The Association of Flight Attendants, representing 50,000 flight attendants at 20 airlines has called for “clear direction from our government to U.S. airlines to pull down all travel to China until the spread of coronavirus is contained,” in a statement shared by ABC News.
“It is critical that any crew potentially infected through travel to and from China not be assigned to any additional flights until safely through the fourteen-day incubation period,” the statement added.
Back in Wuhan, the government is dialing up the propaganda as public anger (which has been manipulated to focus on local officials who have been scapegoated by Beijing) crests.

There’s more where that came from.

Update (1230ET): Vietnam has become the latest country to strictly limit travel with China. SCMP reports that the country has banned all passenger plane traffic to and from mainland China, Taiwan, Hong Kong and Macau.
Apparently, Vietnam, which has confirmed several cases, including at least one instances of human-to-human transmission, doesn’t think much of the WHO’s assurances. Can’t say we blame them. Meanwhile, back in China, a citizen journalist took a video of a sea of unopened boxes allegedly containing medical supplies. We’ve reported in the past that the government is largely relying on ‘volunteers’ to open boxes and sort supplies, leading to massive backlogs.
But of course Beijing has everything under control…just so long as you don’t leave your house/apartment/whatever.
* * *
Since our last update Friday evening, the situation on the ground in China has reportedly gone from bad to worse. The true extent of Beijing’s ‘quarantine’ has been exposed – and not just the ridiculously oppressive tactics exercised on sick people simply out trying to buy food so they don’t starve, but the even more bizarre notion that the WHO has decided to try and validate Beijing’s response when all evidence suggests that public relations is and always will be Beijing’s No. 1 concern.
By most recent count, total cases have eclipsed 12,000, while confirmed deaths inside China have hit 259. More than 100,000 people are still under observation, as we reported last night. The 46 new deaths announced last night (Saturday morning in China) was the largest daily death toll (that was the total from Friday) since the start of the crisis.
To that end, a report reportedly signed by hundreds of doctors blaming the Communist Party’s leadership for waiting a month to inform the Chinese public and the international community that the virus could spread from human-to-human contact. The leadership was apparently aware of this fact as early as mid-December, yet they actively concealed it until the situation started getting out of hand and cases were being confirmed in neighboring countries.
China’s finance ministry has finally announced that it’s going to lift import taxes on American-made medical products needed to help combat the outbreak (it’s interesting how it took them nearly – checks notes – two months since the start of the outbreak to lift the trade-war tariffs).
ABC News is the latest American media outlet to collect footage from Wuhan via drone. The haunting footage clearly shows the scope of the lockdown. An entire city as big as New York, with almost nobody outside or in the streets.
This is becoming an increasingly common sight across China.
We got some interesting corporate news overnight: Apple announced early Saturday that it would close all of its stores and offices in China at least through Feb. 9. Already, the factories of many of its suppliers (like Foxconn) have been impacted by holiday “extensions” that will keep them closed through at least early Feb.
As of midday on Saturday, at least 19 provinces, municipalities and regions have told businesses not to resume work before Feb. 10 at the earliest, according to CNBC, which also noted that Disney, Tesla several US airlines and myriad other American business have suspended operations in China. Hubei, the center of the outbreak, has reportedly extended its Lunar New Year holiday until Feb. 13.

On Saturday, Huanggang, a city of 6 million people near Wuhan, has banned residents from leaving their homes in an effort to stop the coronavirus. The ban states that 1 person per family can leave every other day to buy basic needs.
It’s the first city to declare a lockdown on par with Wuhan’s total ban of people leaving their homes. Meanwhile Huanggang’s mayor warned on Saturday that a “significant” increase in the number of confirmed cases on Saturday or Sunday.
Here’s a video of a doctor from Huanggang saying the media won’t dare report the true infection totals from Huanggang, adding that it’s almost as bad as Wuhan.

The scapegoating of local officials by Beijing continued on Saturday, when more than 300 party officials from Huanggang were punished for failing in their duty.
#Huanggang, a city neighboring #Wuhan, which records the second-largest number of #novelcoronavirus infections, punished 337 officials for slacking off from their duty in combating the #coronavirus.

Though we’re hearing labels like these used far less often than we were just last week, it appears the “fearmongers” and “alarmists” were once again correct to be skeptical of the information coming out of Beijing. A few days ago, Zero Hedge was declared alarmists for discussing the possibility that nCoV could metastasize into a particularly deadly seasonal illness, like the flu. The mainstream press has now apparently decided to take the warnings of epidemiologists seriously.
Latest #coronavirus stats: 11,949 cases, 259 deaths. Still too early to gauge death rate, but this @businessinsider chart puts #CoronavirusOutbreak into perspective. The 2009 H1N1 flu eventually became one of the seasonal flu strains. It could happen to this one as well. pic.twitter.com/J0aw9hnh75 — Selina Wang (@selinawangtv) February 1, 2020
When the WHO first declared that travel restrictions on China simply weren’t necessary, even as Beijing quarantined more than 50 million of its own people, we wondered how the organization could possibly expect the world to listen, considering that Russia had already closed its border with China, and dozens of countries had already imposed some kind of restriction, while more than 40 airlines had suspended routes to China.
On Saturday morning, Australia joined the US in temporarily blocking all foreigners who have recently visited China. Japan said it would bar visitors who had been to Hubei in the last 2 weeks, or had passports issued in Hubei, according to the New York Times.
Then we heard Hong Kong Chief Executive Carrie Lam tell the people that complete shutdown of travel to China wouldn’t be necessary. Once again, Lam was doing the leadership’s bidding to the detriment of her local popularity. By doing so, Lam has handed the workers all the ammunition they need to successfully challenge, and defeat, the city government.
Thousands of Hong Kong doctors, nurses and hospital employees have voted for a strike which could begin as early as Monday. The reason? To pressure the city government to close all borders with mainland China. This isn’t the first bout of virus-related unrest to rock Hong Kong. Last week, a group of locals set fires and rioted in response to rumors that the government planned to transform a newly built housing project nearby into a quarantine, according to SCMP.
Reports that the Hong Kong government has found 49 people from Hubei after searching about 500 hotels has only ratcheted up public anxiety. The individuals are reportedly being moved to quarantine centers.
The pledge of action by thousands of nurses and hospital workers is picking up steam as more local unions are joining the movement. Pretty soon, Lam will have no choice but to close the border with China, which would be a major blow to global confidence in Beijing.
The alliance of health care workers have a few other demands: that the government make clear policies to ensure a supply of surgical masks, a halt on non-emergency services and an increase in the number of isolation wards at hospitals, as well as better support for medical practitioners and an open promise not to punish those who participate in the strike.
Back on the mainland, local authorities have taken to using drones to ‘name and shame’ anybody who disobeys the isolation orders. Here are a few examples:
Walking around without a protective face mask? Well, you can’t avoid these sharp-tongued drones! Many village and cities in China are using drones equipped with speakers to patrol during the #coronavirus outbreak. pic.twitter.com/ILbLmlkL9R — Global Times (@globaltimesnews) January 31, 2020
Across China, drones are being loaded with disinfectant to spray public streets (another shock-and-awe measure with little real-world advantage).
Before we go, here’s a complete list of countries that have confirmed cases of the virus: Thailand, Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Australia, Malaysia, Macau, Russia, France, the United States, South Korea, Germany, the United Arab Emirates, Canada, Britain, Vietnam, Italy, India, the Philippines, Nepal, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Finland and Sweden.
Meanwhile, Thailand, Taiwan, Germany, Vietnam, Japan, France and the US has confirmed human-to-human transmission involving at least one person who hadn’t been to China.
The timing of this outbreak could not be worse: China confirms a case of H5N1 bird flu in Hunan, prompting authorities to cull 17,828 chickens as a precaution. Though we doubt mainlanders will be seeing many stories about that.

51% of Republicans overrule 75% of Americans who wanted witnesses to appear at the trial. This is not how democracy should work. I hope the senate pays a price for this sham. — Barbra Streisand (@BarbraStreisand) February 1, 2020
Dems feel about the senate trial the way Remainers in the UK feel about Brexit: We knew how it would end, we knew how bad the outcome would be, yet we felt powerless to stop it and are resigned to the worst people still getting to decide the direction of our country. — George Takei (@GeorgeTakei) January 31, 2020

Now that Republicans have shown that they will defend trump no matter what he does, it’s time to get real about 2020. They have shown that they lie, cheat, and cover up. They will cheat in 2020. We must vote them out and vote in the super majority. Activate. Get people voting. — Chelsea Handler (@chelseahandler) February 1, 2020

CNN’s John Harwood said the GOP is now the “old Confederacy.”

Will I ever rejoin the GOP? No. Trump will leave office some day (I hope!), but he will leave behind a quasi-authoritarian party that is as corrupt as he is.
