The new procedure makes it the first airport in the world to require testing for all incoming passengers — whether they are showing symptoms or not.
As the neon-washed metropolis reported zero Covid-19 cases last Monday for the first time since early March, its airport testing procedures are being credited with helping to slow the spread.
Hong Kong has been praised as a potential corona success story, thanks to early steps taken by citizens and government to contain the spread, including wearing masks, avoiding crowded places, closing schools and working from home.

NO PPE FOR CABIN CREW From not selling middle seats to providing medical-grade PPE for cabin crew, airlines around the world are adopting strict new measures to make flying safer during the pandemic. But new advice from airline authorities overseas suggests that some of the measures might be a step too far. A document from the Civil Aviation Administration of China, entitled “Preventing Spread of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19): Guidelines for Airlines”, states: “It’s recommended that cabin crew wear disposable diapers and avoid using the lavatory unless in special circumstances to reduce the risk of infection.” As The Sun reported in January, overworked staff at hospitals in the Chinese city of Wuhan also had to wear adult nappies because they didn’t have time for toilet breaks, but is the same really necessary for airline crew? Especially as planes won’t be so busy and crew will have their own toilet that will be sanitised after every use. Both British Airways and Virgin Atlantic confirmed that the guidance doesn’t relate to the UK, and the airlines are following the advice of Public Health England and the World Health Organisation. After thousands of crew have been furloughed, requiring them to return to work in a nappy would no doubt be the final straw. Maintaining dignity is as important as anything.
But over the last month, Hong Kong has fought a second wave of infections, largely due to residents returning to the city from abroad.

This is pretty big news: CNN’s Cillizza is highlighting a rare CNN story on Reade and an episode of “Larry King Live” in which Reade’s mother calls in and seemingly corroborates her daughter’s run-in with a prominent senator. But how could anyone to get Biden, and not just his campaign’s PR outfit, to directly address it?
Hi Chris, Just wondering if you might happen to know anyone (I mean anyone) in the news media who would be in a position to ask Joe directly? You know, like someone who works at CNN maybe? Long shot but worth checking into, no? https://t.co/ztJZaJG64e — Fusilli Spock (@awstar11) April 25, 2020

Good point:
An important question to ask Biden is whether, according to his own standards, which have been explicitly outlined, this is disqualifying.

Peter Daou called Saturday for former vice president and presumptive 2020 Democratic nominee Joe Biden to drop out of the race.
Citing new evidence of possible sexual misconduct, Daou — who had previously advised both former Secretaries of State Hillary Clinton and John Kerry — argued that the party could not afford for Biden to not take the accusations of former aide Tara Reade seriously.
Daou began by saying that “BIDEN SHOULD WITHDRAW,” noting that, while he respected the will of the American people, “Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards.”
See Daou’s tweets below:
DIFFICULT THREAD — #BIDEN SHOULD WITHDRAW 1. I respect the will of the voters. 2. But new information has emerged supporting #TaraReade's account of being sexually assaulted by #JoeBiden. 3. Credible rape accusations are disqualifying or we have NO moral standards. — Peter Daou (@peterdaou) April 25, 2020
4. Defeating Trump is NOT OPTIONAL. 5. To avoid potential catastrophe in Nov., #Biden should withdraw. 6. #Warren, #Harris, #Klobuchar, #Buttigieg, #Castro, etc. could replace Biden. 7. #Bernie can restart his campaign. 8. We can reboot the primary and give voters a choice. — Peter Daou (@peterdaou) April 25, 2020
9. This is the ethical position AND the smarter strategy to beat Trump. 10. We lose ALL moral authority if we embrace "the lesser of two accused rapists." 11. Polls show other Dem candidates can win. PRINCIPLES MATTER. WE CAN BEAT TRUMP AND PROTECT OUR VALUES.#DropOutBiden — Peter Daou (@peterdaou) April 25, 2020
Daou’s wife is also an influential Democrat and she agrees:
From Day 1, Peter and I argued that a man in a position of power repeatedly invading the physical space of young girls and women (on video, no less) is instantly disqualified. The fact that there is a credible rape accusation by @ReadeAlexandra further cements it.#DropOutBiden https://t.co/nOLsVLfKMV — Leela Daou (@leeladaou) April 25, 2020
This is very bad news for Biden.

thelibertydaily--2020-04-26--Virginia RINO Echoes Blackface Northam, Pushes Democrat-Style Vote by Mail

Former Democrat legislator and gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams in 2014 revealed her plan to change the racial ...

Last Updated on April 25, 2020
Former Virginia Congressman Scott Taylor is echoing Governor Ralph Northam’s political hijacking of COVID-19 to push a Democrat-style vote by mail scheme in an effort to win the 2nd district’s Republican primary. Taylor served one term in Congress, before being bounced from Washington by Democrat Elaine Lauria in 2018.
“With all the unknowns our community is facing, we encourage you to request an absentee ballot and vote by mail to cast your vote for Scott Taylor,” a recent campaign ad reads.
As some have pointed out, Taylor’s ad, which depicts the candidate standing before a backdrop of rolling mountains, looks rather out of place in Virginia’s 2nd District, which encompasses coastal regions of the state, including Virginia Beach and the Eastern Shore – hundreds of miles away from Virginia’s Blue Ridge Mountains.
Most likely, the picture was recycled from Taylor’s aborted run for Senate critics of the ad say, when Taylor launched a short-lived campaign against Senator Mark Warner before deciding to pivot back to the 2nd District, leading to accusations of Taylor shopping around for an office to run for.
Taylor’s push for supporters to vote by mail has certainly raised eyebrows, as he is fresh off a highly publicized election fraud scheme, which saw one of his 2018 campaign staffers, Lauren Creekmore Peabody, plead guilty to charges of “willful neglect of election duty” last month. In doing so, Peabody received a $1,000 fine and a suspended jail sentence of 1-year, contingent on a year of good behavior.
Peabody’s charges stem from efforts by the Taylor campaign to get a two-time Democrat candidate for Congress, Shaun Brown – who Taylor defeated in 2016 – on the 2018 ballot as an independent, for the purpose of splitting the Democrat vote, propelling Taylor to victory. Court documents state that Peabody and fellow Taylor campaign staffers were instructed by senior members of the campaign and Taylor himself to collect ballot access signatures on Brown’s behalf. The effort failed, and Taylor was defeated by a 3-point margin.
According to an investigation by 13News Now, petitions gathered by Taylor campaign staffers included the names and “signatures” of not only voters who moved out of state years prior, but the deceased.
Contrary to claims by Taylor that he himself has been exonerated, Prosecutor John Beamer has told the media, “Those are his words. We did not say that.”
In an unrelated matter, Shaun Brown is currently serving a 3-year federal prison sentence for falsifying financial records related to a summertime meals program for needy children.

Hmm . . . Dozens of Farm Workers at Central Washington Orchard Test Positive for Chi-Com Virus Despite Not Having Any Symptoms

Dozens of farm workers at a Central Washington orchard have tested positive for COVID-19 , though they weren ’ t experiencing symptoms , according to a newspaper reported published Saturday .
Stemilt Ag Services , which operates the orchard , and local health officials tested the farm workers in East Wenatchee after some fruit packaging warehouse workers tested positive , The Spokesman-Review reported .
The company said it decided to expand testing to orchard workers as a precaution .
Of the 71 agricultural workers who were tested , 36 were positive for COVID-19 , Stemilt reported this week .
Despite @ @ @ @ @ @ @ orchards , there were a high number of positive cases , said Barry Kling , administrator at Chelan-Douglas Health District .
Some people who have COVID-19 show no symptoms .
“ We ’ ve been relying on symptom checks for deciding who needs to be tested , and who needs to be isolated , ” Kling said .
“ And maybe we need to think differently about the whole thing.
” Stemilt was one of the first companies in the region to test a group of workers that was asymptomatic , but the @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , said Roger Pepperl , Stemilt marketing director , in an email .
Stemilt has been following Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention recommendations for social distancing .
Workers who tested negative will be retested and are in isolation , according to a Stemilt press release .

Dozens of farm workers at a Central Washington orchard have tested positive for COVID-19, though they weren’t experiencing symptoms, according to a newspaper reported published Saturday.
Stemilt Ag Services, which operates the orchard, and local health officials tested the farm workers in East Wenatchee after some fruit packaging warehouse workers tested positive, The Spokesman-Review reported. The company said it decided to expand testing to orchard workers as a precaution.
Of the 71 agricultural workers who were tested, 36 were positive for COVID-19, Stemilt reported this week.
Despite social distancing measures in place at the orchards, there were a high number of positive cases, said Barry Kling, administrator at Chelan-Douglas Health District. Some people who have COVID-19 show no symptoms.
“We’ve been relying on symptom checks for deciding who needs to be tested, and who needs to be isolated,” Kling said. “And maybe we need to think differently about the whole thing.”
Stemilt was one of the first companies in the region to test a group of workers that was asymptomatic, but the company is still evaluating its next steps, said Roger Pepperl, Stemilt marketing director, in an email. Stemilt has been following Centers for Disease Controls and Prevention recommendations for social distancing.
Workers who tested negative will be retested and are in isolation, according to a Stemilt press release. All workers who were tested are work visa holders and arrived around February.

thelibertydaily--2020-04-27--White House Officials Say President Trump Works So Hard He Often Misses Lunch

President Trump ripped into the media Sunday in response to ...

President Trump’s schedule is so packed amid the coronavirus crisis that he sometimes skips lunch, his aides told The Post — refuting a report that the commander-in-chief spends his days obsessing over TV coverage and eating fries.
White House staffers said the president works around the clock and can make five dozen work-related calls a day during the pandemic.
“I can tell you that the biggest concern I have as a new chief of staff is making sure he gets some time to get a quick bite to eat,” White House chief of staff Mark Meadows told The Post.
He said Trump recently called him at 3:19 a.m. He wasn’t expecting the call and was asleep when the phone rang.
“I can tell you that he will go back in and have a lunch just off the Oval Office and more times than not it is interrupted by several phone calls,” Meadows said. “If he gets more than 10 minutes of time in a given day, I haven’t seen in the five weeks I’ve been here.”
A different White House official said Trump some days doesn’t eat lunch.
“There are times when lunch isn’t even a thought,” the official said. “A lot of time there’s either no time for lunch or there is 10 minutes for lunch.”
An account in the New York Times that claimed Trump lingers in his bedroom as late as noon infuriated the president, who tweeted Sunday, “I will often be in the Oval Office late into the night & read & see that I am angrily eating a hamburger & Diet Coke in my bedroom.”
“I work from early in the morning until late at night,” the president tweeted.
Another White House official provided The Post with data on recent presidential phone calls, which they said attest to his packed schedule.
On Wednesday, Trump made about two dozen morning calls starting with a conversation around 6:30 a.m. with Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin, according to the official.
On Thursday morning, Trump made 18 work-related calls from his private quarters, including four to foreign leaders, which can be lengthy due to translation and a broad range of topics. On Friday, he began the day with another four calls with foreign leaders.
Trump returned to the White House residence at 9 p.m. Wednesday and Thursday, according to the official. On Thursday night, he made 11 work calls. On Wednesday night, he was calling until 11:30 p.m. and spoke with a governor, a senator and a congressman.
Trump has meetings and calls during his time in the Oval Office. On Thursday, he took nearly three dozen calls.
“He’ll call up until late evening or midnight on a fairly regular basis,” Meadows said.
At night, “normally he will get six or seven calls from members [of Congress] or business leaders or community leaders, so oftentimes what he will do is go up to the residence and have the White House operator literally do back-to-back calls,” Meadows said.
If Trump has something on his mind, he prefers to call right away. “When he calls in the evening or the early morning, it’s really with a pressing issue that demands immediate action,” Meadows said.
Morning phone calls from the residence are routine for Trump.
“I get phone calls from him early in the morning and at the end of the day,” said Peter Navarro, director of the White House Office of Trade and Manufacturing Policy.
“I think I work hard. I put in probably 12-hour days seven days a week and he runs circles around all of us,” Navarro said. “He never seems to tire. So this idea that he’s not working hard is just so absurd. Note to the New York Times: Spending time in the morning reading all of the material that’s given to him by his staff secretary, as well as virtually all of the newspapers, that’s work. That’s not kicking back with a croissant.”
Trump largely has been confined to the White House since COVID-19 triggered widespread business closures and halted his extensive travel. Now, public engagements are limited to press briefings and less frequent televised pool sprays with reporters in the West Wing and on the White House grounds.
Officials don’t dispute that Trump often has a TV screen on during the day, but said that’s a reasonable thing to do. They also do not deny that the president powers through the day on Diet Coke.
Trump monitoring TV news coverage “is like a linebacker watching tape,” the first official said. “How else are we going to know what’s being said and what’s being reported out there?”
Trump’s schedule generally is grueling for reporters and officials whose personal lives are tied to his activities. On Easter, for example, Trump was working in the Oval Office to broker an oil production agreement between Saudi Arabia and Russia.
“We watch him work and work and work, and we get frustrated by the inaccurate coverage, which does not reflect the hard work and leadership we witness every day,” the second official said.

Murphy also said he is still deciding whether the state will reopen as a whole or whether it could be a regional approach.
New Jersey has “suffered an extraordinary toll and loss of life," the governor said while appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press” Sunday, after the show’s host noted the state’s death toll from COVID-19 has surpassed the combined total number of people in the state who died fighting in Vietnam, the Korea War and World War I.
“The fatalities continue to be significant each and every day," Murphy said.
Murphy — who said he plans to unveil a “broad blueprint” to reopen the state on Monday — noted that more time is needed for people to stay at home and adhere to his strict orders to mitigate the spread of the virus. He has kept those predictions vague, and recently said it would be several more weeks before restrictions would be rolled back.

Suffocating FDA Regulations Block Usage of Apple Watch Feature That Would Help Millions Monitor Blood-Oxygen Levels

Early administrative failings of the FDA and the CDC greatly exacerbated the Covid-19 crisis in the United States .

Millions of Americans own an Apple Watch, which commands roughly a 50 percent share of the smartwatch market. Among its many features, the Apple Watch can take your pulse. It also contains hardware to measure your blood-oxygen levels, and it has been doing so since the watch was released—but the hardware is not operable by the watch’s wearer, who thus cannot obtain the results. Under current FDA regulation, the function is disabled. It’s another example of how federal regulation of the production and distribution of pharmaceuticals and medical devices in the United States is less focused on stopping viruses and other diseases than on blocking private-sector innovators from developing solutions that may not work or might have harmful side effects.
This matters in the Covid pandemic. On April 20, emergency-room doctor Richard Levitan described in the New York Times what he’d observed treating patients in Bellevue Hospital in New York. Levitan had seen many cases of “silent hypoxia,” unknown oxygen deprivation in which “patients without respiratory complaints had Covid pneumonia”—even those admitted to the hospital for non-Covid-related health concerns. By the time most patients made it to the hospital, they had “remarkably low oxygen saturations.” Levitan’s recommendation: “Widespread pulse oximetry screening [as] an early warning system.”
Pulse oximetry refers to the measuring of blood oxygenation noninvasively, by firing wavelengths of light—red and infrared—through the skin. Variations in absorption between the different wavelengths by arterial blood allow us to read oxygen saturation. That sounds high-tech, but it’s an old technology, first developed for earlobes in the 1930s; fingertip pulse oximeters were developed in Japan in the 1970s. The plethysmograph in the Apple Watch that measures pulse works essentially the same way.
Yet the Apple Watch currently on the market cannot make this feature available to the consumer. Relatively inexpensive pulse oximeters remain widely available—usually. Like other items, from toilet paper to surgical masks, they’re unlikely to be widely available in a pandemic, when everyone wants a device and public demand outpaces manufacturing and distribution capability. Delivery dates on Amazon are already backed up for weeks.
The reason why Apple Watches are not available to fill some of this gap traces to 1976—about one month after Steve Jobs, Steve Wozniak, and Ronald Wayne founded Apple—when Congress passed the Medical Device Regulation Act. The previous year, the Centers for Disease Control had released a study, subsequently published in the New England Journal of Medicine, linking pregnant women’s deaths to the Dalkon Shield intrauterine device (IUD). Senator Edward Kennedy pushed through the new law, which expanded FDA authority to regulate medical devices.
As is the norm in the modern administrative state, Congress left the details of regulation up to the agency, in this case the FDA, which classified “pulse oximeters” as Class II medical devices, deemed to pose “moderate” risk to people. The FDA decided not to exempt pulse oximeters from “premarket notification,” the requirement that a manufacturer submit a device for 90-day pre-review by the agency before introducing it to the market. The definition for pulse oximeter in the FDA’s regulation seems broad enough to encompass the Apple Watch device, were it operative: “An oximeter is a device used to transmit radiation at a known wavelength(s) through blood and to measure the blood oxygen saturation based on the amount of reflected or scattered radiation.”
Like other agencies, the FDA does not rely solely on its formal regulations but also issues “guidance documents” that aren’t subject to legal challenge but essentially tell private-sector companies what they can and cannot do. These documents are not technically binding, but most corporate general counsels would dissuade their firms from introducing a product that clashes with agency guidance. In 2013, the FDA released guidance “recommending” extensive testing protocols for pulse oximeters. When Apple released its new watch two years later, it decided not to risk a notice of noncompliance—nor to hold up a product certain to bring in a flood of new revenues—by running afoul of the FDA’s proposed process and premarket approval.
Some of Apple’s competitors have begun rolling out blood-oxygen monitor devices—such as Fitbit, which received FDA approval earlier this year. Samsung’s Galaxy phones possessed the capacity to read blood oxygen as well as pulse through its built-in Samsung Health app—until the most recent version, the S20, which suspended the function, likely due to regulatory and legal concerns. (I have an older version and have been using it to monitor my oxygen.) Apple itself has finally started to get FDA clearance for other heart-monitoring features, so approval for the blood-oxygen feature may be on the way, eventually.
Cheaper finger-readers normally available on drugstore shelves are generally deemed for “wellness” rather than “health,” and the companies making them typically are exempt from FDA rules because the devices use essentially the same technology developed in the early 1970s, before the Medical Device Regulation Act was passed. That’s a good thing, because they’re much cheaper than the FDA-approved products, and clinical studies have shown that they perform about as well.
The FDA’s reluctance to cede control is understandable. The agency always faces harsh public and congressional scrutiny over drugs and devices that fail or cause harm. No one wants to see the next Theranos. But delay in introducing devices tied to human health also costs lives—even in ordinary circumstances, and especially in a pandemic. The FDA’s misplaced focus on perfection over speed tragically bottlenecked U.S. testing for Covid-19. Even the availability of something as basic as ethyl-alcohol hand sanitizer has been stalled by FDA oversight.
Pulse oximetry isn’t as simple as ethyl alcohol production, but it’s a decades-old technology. A company like Apple, with enormous brand equity, is unlikely to release a product that it doesn’t believe will work. The benefits of letting wearers of Apple Watches utilize a function that already lies hidden inside the product would almost certainly exceed the costs. For now, Americans can’t—and they could suffer as a result.

But who is Kim Yo Jong ?

The year before the infamous death stare, Yo Jong was designated by the Treasury Department pursuant to Executive Order 13687 for egregious human rights abuses.
“The North Korean regime not only engages in severe human rights abuses, but it also implements rigid censorship policies and conceals its inhumane and oppressive behavior,” said John E. Smith, Acting OFAC Director. “Today’s action exposes individuals supporting the North Korean regime and underscores the U.S. Government’s commitment to promoting accountability for serious human rights abuses and censorship in North Korea.”
Yo Jong is the Vice Director of the Workers’ Party of Korea Propaganda and Agitation Department (PAD), and the PAD had been designated pursuant to EO 13722 as a component of the Government of North Korea.

According to a Holocaust survivor, North Korean prisons are actually worse than Nazi concentration camps were during the Holocaust. In a 124-page report, the International Bar Association, documents in grisly detail the horrifying abuses the North Korean regime continues to commit against political prisoners.
There are four known political prison camps – Prison Camps 14, 15, 16 and 25 – that incarcerate political prisoners.

[…] Persons who are found by the SSD to have engaged in political crimes are sent without any meaningful trial or formal proceedings to these political prison camps. …Prisoners also include those who have been exposed to allegedly subversive, outside influences. […] With respect to the DPRK political prison camps specifically, the UN Commission of Inquiry found that prisoners had been subjected to “deliberate starvation, forced lab[or], executions, torture, rape and the denial of reproductive rights enforced through punishment, forced abortion, and infanticide.
Isn’t that charming?
This is the kind of regime in which Yo Jong thrives. This is the kind of regime that she protects by overseeing its censorship and propaganda programs. And even while the people of North Korea starve and turn to cannibalism, searching out homeless children begging for food on the streets and eating them to survive, and Yo Jong’s brother feasts on caviar and “disappears” any pretty young girl who dares to defy the order to become a sex slave, Yo Jong continues her propaganda campaign to promote Jong Un as a heroic leader.

Although we do not know whether Yo Jong will become the Dictator-in-Chief, given the Hermit Kingdom’s generally patriarchal society, if you imagine that having a woman at the helm will somehow improve the situation for the North Korean people, I would urge you to think again.
