Recently, the NSW Public Health came up with new restrictions. They made it illegal for residents to leave their homes, except “to obtain food or other goods and services”. Other acceptable reasons are work and education that cannot be done from home, exercise, medical or caring reasons, and a limited number of other reasons.
Moreover, gatherings of more than two people are seized, unless those people are members of the same household. The restrictions are reportedly designed to limit the spread of coronavirus in the country.
In case people don’t follow the strict limitations, they can be fined up to $11,000, or sent to prison for a period of six months. In some cases, the disobedient individuals may face both. Furthermore, they can be fined extra $5,500 for each day the offense continues.

A number of couples, including Crocodile Hunter Steve Irwin’s daughter Bindi and her partner Chandler Powell, rescheduled their weddings to later dates in order to celebrate with their families.
Authorities hesitated to explain why the wedding was allowed to proceed.
‘Victoria Police will not provide a running commentary on individual spot checks, reports of people breaching self-isolation or breaches of mass gatherings,’ a police spokesperson said. ‘However we have seen the vast majority of the community treat this issue with the seriousness it deserves up until this point.’
Daily Mail Australia has inquired for information regarding the wedding from Victoria Police Minister Lisa Neille, the groom, and a few guests.
The wedding was reportedly booked before the coronavirus epidemic guidelines.
Victorian authorities have confirmed the guidelines are so strict that couples cannot meet each other unless they live under the same roof.
Ms. Neville tweeted:
‘You cannot visit your partner for social reasons’.
When asked whether a social visit was allowed, Premier Daniel Andrews said in a press conference:
‘That’s not work, that’s not care-giving, that’s not medical care, that’s not shopping for the things you need when you need them, and it does not comply with the rules. People should not do that.’
Victoria’s rules are different from those of New South Wales, the place most affected by the crisis, where couples are permitted to visit each other at home.
NSW Police Commissioner Mick Fuller said that partners visiting each other counts as ‘care’ because it is important to mental wellbeing.
‘I would put that under care, absolutely, mental health, that’s under care… we need to look after each other,’ he said.
The Victorian government website states:
‘Every interaction with another person carries the risk of transmission and should be avoided.’

And he wasn’t the only one to do so. Many youngsters have been going on spring breaks and other public events, even though they know the risks. Peter told the New York Post that he tried to persuade his son not to go for weeks but nothing seemed to work.
“I was aggravated,” he said. “The news here was getting worse and worse. Matt sent me pictures of him and his friends congregating outdoors and listening to live music. It’s the scene you would not want to be in.”
Matt and his group of friends were meant to come back to stay at his house after the trip, but Peter would not allow it.
“His grandparents live here and there is no need to expose them to god knows what he had been exposed to!” Peter told the New York Post.
And according to Matt, the trip was not what he hoped it would be.
“We were only allowed to go to the beach in small groups and couldn’t have speakers; by then, there was basically no one on the island. The police seemed like they were trying to ruin our good time,” Matt said.
After a disappointing adventure which included canceled flights, Matt and his gang finally arrived back in New York. However, his father did not pick them up from the airport as planned. So they had to figure out how to reach the house on their own.

He understood the dangers of the coronavirus and refused to risk him or his elderly parents being infected.

However, Matt still had a place to go. He attends Springfield College in Massachusetts and has a place that he shares with other roommates. Matt has to stay there for as long as it takes to make sure he does not expose anyone to the danger of being infected.
“Their lease ends in June and none of the parents want them home,” Peter said. “It’s too risky.”

The first full moon of spring will be a ‘pink’ supermoon – the biggest and the brightest full moon of the year.
The pink supermoon, called the Paschal full moon, will appear on April 7th. It will fill the whole sky with luminous brightness. What an incredible way to welcome the spring season!
This unique supermoon is named after the Greek word for ‘Passover’. The Paschal full moon takes place on the 14th day of the lunar month starting after the Spring Equinox, which occurred on March 20. Moreover, this particular supermoon is used to determine when Easter falls in any given year.
Although the supermoon is labeled ‘pink’, the moonlight on the night of April 7th won’t actually be pink.
The pink color is a reference to a certain type of wildflower, native to North America, called ‘Phlox subulata’. According to a Newsweek report, the beautiful wildflower has a vivid pink hue and blooms in springtime.
Usually, a supermoon occurs once a year, when a full moon coincides with the moon being at the closest orbital point to Earth, called a perigee. It can appear between 7 and 14 percent larger than a full moon, and nearly 30 percent brighter.
A supermoon’s appearance is relatively rare, due to the elliptical moon’s orbital path around the Earth. What’s more, full moons rarely occur while the moon is also at its perigee, so the pink supermoon will be a mesmerizing view you absolutely shouldn’t miss.

Chicago: Penguins at the Shedd Aquarium have been let to roam around and explore their surroundings after it shut its doors to the outside world due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
A 32-year-old penguin named Wellington and his friends were allowed to experience life on the outside of their confines, as they went on an exciting trip, which included a visit to Shedd’s underwater viewing area, home to a number of beluga whales.
The aquarium posted videos of the happy penguin and his pals visiting the three belugas named Kayavak, Mauyak and little Annik during the weekend.
“They may have met some animals at the aquarium that are just as curious as they are,” the museum wrote.
The belugas suddenly stopped their swim to take a look at the happy penguins.
“The whales, including Annik the calf born last year, collectively gathered at the window to take in Wellington and the other birds, who stared back as they waddled back and forth,” the aquarium said.
Belugas live in the northern hemisphere, so the nature of the penguin is foreign to them as all species of penguins live in the southern hemisphere.
The adventure continues! 🐧🐧
This morning, Edward and Annie explored Shedd’s rotunda. They are a bonded pair of rockhopper penguins, which means they are together for nesting season.

“That being said, the latest penguin field trip seemed just as enriching for the belugas as it was for the birds,” the aquarium said.
Penguins like Edward and Annie will begin to build their nests next week. Join us digitally for nesting coverage!

While this may be a strange time for us, these days feel normal for animals at Shedd.

10. The Black Death
Europe, Asia, and Africa fell victim to a horrific plague between 1346 and 1353, with an estimate of 75 and 200 million deaths. Even though, it originated in Asia, this Plague likely ran through continents carried by fleas living in rats that lived on board of merchant ships. Bein great urban centers at the time, ports were the perfect environment for rats, fleas, and eventually the devastating Black Death.

iheartintelligence--2020-04-02--Sea turtles have hatched on a beach deserted due to COVID-19 quarantine

Dozens of endangered sea turtles have hatched on a beach in Brazil being deserted due to the coronavirus quarantine .
Usually , the beaches in Paulista , Brazil , are filled with people witnessing the magical scene where baby turtles are being born .
Sadly , this year the access to the coastline was forbidden by state governor Paulo Câmara .

Residents are being urged to stay home in an attempt to block the spread of the virus .
Nearly a hundred baby hawksbill sea turtles broke free from their shells @ @ @ @ @ @ @ March 22 .
Unfortunately , there was almost no one around to witness this incredible moment .
Only a few government workers were lucky enough to be at the beach and capture the baby turtles making their way to the sea .
In a statement , the City Hall of Paulista says that the hatching of the eggs and the first contact of the animals with the ocean was only possible thanks to monitoring work carried out by technicians of the Urban Sustainability Center .

Additionally , the project contributes to the restorations of the olive ridley sea turtle , the loggerhead sea turtle , and the leatherback sea turtle .

Residents are being urged to stay home in an attempt to block the spread of the virus.
Nearly a hundred baby hawksbill sea turtles broke free from their shells and took their very first steps on March 22.
Unfortunately, there was almost no one around to witness this incredible moment. Only a few government workers were lucky enough to be at the beach and capture the baby turtles making their way to the sea.
In a statement, the City Hall of Paulista says that the hatching of the eggs and the first contact of the animals with the ocean was only possible thanks to monitoring work carried out by technicians of the Urban Sustainability Center.
The WWF considers hawksbill sea turtles as a critically endangered species.
Thankfully, Brazil’s Tamar conservation project works for the restoration of the species. Additionally, the project contributes to the restorations of the olive ridley sea turtle, the loggerhead sea turtle, and the leatherback sea turtle. All four species of turtle protected by the Tamar conservation project can be found along Brazil’s coastline.
Today's #OneSmileEachDay comes in the form of 97 tiny hawksbill sea turtles, which hatched last Sunday in Paulista, Brasil. These critically endangered turtles help to protect coral reefs, which are crucial for the survival of many other creatures. pic.twitter.com/hmLItBdKCc — WWF Cymru 🌏 (@WWFCymru) April 1, 2020
What’s unique about the hawksbills is that they can grow up to 110cm (about 43in) and can weigh 85kg (187lbs). They are strongly connected with coral reef areas. Sadly, these sea turtles often become victims of human actions, as they can be caught accidentally in ghost nets or gillnets left for hours to catch fish. They are also in great danger of being snatched by birds or crushed by beachgoers after hatching. However, due to the recent lockdown regime, those threats are minimized.
Herbert Andrade, Environmental Manager at Paulista, shares:
“In all, 291 sea turtles were born on the coast of Paulista in 2020, with 87 green turtles and 204 hawksbill turtles. This time, due to preventive measures against the new coronavirus, the population was unable to closely monitor the birth.”
According to The Guardian, Paulista’s environmental secretary, Roberto Couto, said the turtles usually lay their eggs from January each year, before the hatchlings emerge in April or May. He added:
“It’s really beautiful because you can see the exact instant they come out of the eggs and… watch their little march across the beach. It’s marvellous. It’s a wonderful, extraordinary feeling. This time, because of coronavirus, we couldn’t even tell people it was happening.”
WWF believes that sea turtles are the ‘living representatives’ of reptiles that have existed on Earth and traveled our seas for the last 100 million years.
This proves these creatures are a fundamental link in marine ecosystems. They are also amazing for maintaining the health of coral reefs and seagrass beds.

Boy, 13, from Kenya, was killed on his balcony after police opened fire while enforcing coronavirus curfew.
Yasin Hussein Moyo, the 13-year-old victim, was standing on the balcony of his own home. Only 20 minutes after curfew fell, the young boy was reportedly fatally hit in the stomach by an officer’s bullet.
Witnesses claim they saw cops aiming at the house. Kenya’s police inspector general promised an investigation into the “stray bullet”. Yasin’s siblings reported they saw a targeting light on the balcony right before the boy was killed.
When Yasin’s mother heard the gunfire right after the 7 pm curfew, she told her children to go upstairs because she thought it would be safer. The moment the kids noticed the targeting light and heard another gunshot, they quickly scattered. Only Yasin “just stood there, stunned” according to his 19-year-old sister.
A neighbor of theirs, Hadijah Mamo, who says she heard the gunfire and saw tear gas, said:
“I could see police aiming at the building. I heard people screaming that the boy had been shot.”
Yasin’s mother rushed to see if her children are okay. What she found was her son bleeding from the abdomen.
The boy said to his mother: “Look, mum, it hit me.” A few hours after midnight, Yasin passed away.

“I’m a physician at a hospital in NYC, and THIS IS THE ‘PPE’ I WAS JUST HANDED for my shift,” one person shared, showing a picture of a rain poncho they’re using instead of a medical gown. “Our federal government has completely failed its health care workers.”

However, as per a recent Bloomberg report, some hospital staff are being threatened with losing their jobs for posting such things.
Emergency room physician Ming Lin of Washington State was dismissed by his workplace after he told a local paper about a similar kind of thing he posted on social media.
Meanwhile, in Chicago, a nurse named Lauri Mazurkiewicz was let go because she messaged colleagues regarding low quantities of protective clothing.
Over in New York, the NYU Langone Health system sent a mass email letting workers know they will be fired if they talk to the media without their approval.
Nurse Mazurkiewicz was let go. She revealed that she was encouraging co-workers to wear extra gear due to her asthma and to protect her old father.
“A lot of hospitals are lying to their workers and saying that simple masks are sufficient and nurses are getting sick and they are dying,” the nurse said. “I didn’t want to get infected because I’m not wearing the proper mask and then spread it to my patients and my family.”
The hospital did not wish to comment on the story because Mazurkiewicz has filed a lawsuit.
NYU Langone Health spokesperson Jim Mandler said that the hospital’s policy was to keep patient and staff information confidential.
“Because information is constantly evolving, it is in the best interest of our staff and the institution that only those with the most updated information are permitted to address these issues with the media,” he said.
It’s hard to come to grips with the fact that #WhenCoronaVirusIsOver some of us in healthcare will not be standing. And to think that is partially due to a lack of #PPE is infuriating. #GetMePPE pic.twitter.com/id5rrHoQFH — Joseph Sakran (@JosephSakran) March 29, 2020
Ruth Schubert, a spokesperson for the Washington State Nurses Association, said:
“Hospitals are muzzling nurses and other health-care workers in an attempt to preserve their image. It is outrageous.”
She added that healthcare workers
“must have the ability to tell the public what is really going on inside the facilities where they are caring for CCOVID19 patients.”

Faculty director Glenn Cohen of Harvard Law School’s bioethics center told Bloomberg:
“It is good and appropriate for health-care workers to be able to express their own fears and concerns, especially when expressing that might get them better protection. When health-care workers say they are not being protected, the public gets very upset at the hospital system.”
