I won't have to daily worry about how it is closing in on us:

ritain's Department of Health added that it will no longer be tweeting information on the location of each new case from today, due to the number of new cases.

"Instead, this information will be released centrally in a consolidated format online, once a week. We are working on this now and plan to share on Friday."

[Sheilbh]

29 of these new cases from overseas or linked to an existing cluster, 3 are unclear as there's no obvious link.

Also Department of Health no longer giving location of each new case given volume. It'll now be released in a central consolidated format on a weekly basis (Fridays).

Yes. It'll be nice to have the panic in a central consolidated format every Friday.

Russia has been targeted from abroad by foes spreading fake news about the coronavirus to sow panic, according to President Vladimir Putin.

His remarks came as Russia's communications regulator said it had shut down access to some social media posts containing falsehoods about the virus outbreak.

"The Federal Security Service reports that they (the fakes) are mainly being organised from abroad. But unfortunately this always happens to us," Putin said on Wednesday, in televised remarks at a government meeting.

"The purpose of such fakes is clear: to sow panic among the population."

Reuters reports that a Russian cyber security company, Group-IB, on Monday identified what it said were thousands of fake news posts on messaging services and social networks such as Russia's VK alleging that thousands of Muscovites have caught the virus.

This could just as easily have come from the White House.

Fuck, we're screwed.

Lawyers?  Probably a side affect from engaging in Satanic rituals.

Pence is saying any American can be tested. Labs and other experts are flat out saying it's simply not possible to test and process more than 100 tests a day.

I'm sorry, world. The US is going to ruin it for everyone.

The Trump administration is out of touch and only live in their spin echo chamber.

I mean Rush Limbaugh said it was some kind of anti-Trump conspiracy and he was just awarded the Medal of Freedom.

I am baffled by the the test limit.

I think we've set up a lab specifically for this (I think the only other country that did that was China), but the difference between tests done yesterday and today is about 3,000 and it can't just be because of that

100 tests a day? We did that here yesterday. CDC needs to sort this out quick.
