The United States' caseload of coronavirus infections surged to the most in the world and its capital reports more infections as Italy shut most of its industry and masses of Indian day laborers received food rations after a lockdown put them out of work.

A police officer chases a man who violated the lockdown downtown Johannesburg, South Africa, Friday, March 27, 2020. Police and army started patrolling moments after South Africa went into a nationwide lockdown for 21 days in an effort to mitigate the spread to the coronavirus. The new coronavirus causes mild or moderate symptoms for most people, but for some, especially older adults and people with existing health problems, it can cause more severe illness or death.

Washington, D.C., confirmed 36 new cases Thursday, raising its total to 267. The district is under a state of emergency, its major attractions like the Smithsonian museums and National Zoo closed and White House and Capitol tours cancelled. Police have blocked off streets, bridges and traffic circles to prevent crowds coming to see Washington’s blooming cherry blossom trees.

In China, where the virus was first believed to have jumped from wild animals to humans, the National Health Commission on Friday reported 55 new cases, including 54 it said were imported infections in recent arrivals from overseas. Once again, there were no new cases reported in Wuhan, the provincial capital where the coronavirus emerged in December. China is barring most foreigners from entering as it tries to curb imported cases.

“Everything is so surreal,” he said. “I can’t even get an interview for another job, and we now have to worry more about being careful and taking care of ourselves.” The outbreak has put huge pressure on foreign students, especially those at universities in North America and Europe. Wang flew from Toronto to Taipei, Taiwan, then from Taipei to Chengdu. The Chengdu leg was packed; everyone wore masks, most people donned goggles and gloves, and a few were garbed in full-body protective suits.

Herbert_L_Reed The AP wants the number of CV cases to cause fear and panic. Not the uncontrollable death rate of Italy that shut it down and force food rations. The seek to misguide you they're irresponsible in times of crisis.

I don't need China

Trumpty Dumpty is bluffing about a Easter return to work.

It will be a thing of the pass soon.

Getting touch

Why is the AP (also) accepting Chinese stats uncritically? This widely heralded ‘milestone’ is probably complete nonsense.
