Prince Charles has tested positive for the Covid-19. The heir to the British throne had, in recent weeks, taken precautions in an attempt to limit his contact with the contagion, including adopting a steepled-finger greeting, but it appears to not be enough. Now officials and staff connected to the Royal Family are rushing to establish a timeline concerning his contraction of the virus, and the extent of his exposure to other high ranking officials, namely his mother, the 93 year old Queen Elizabeth II and his 98 year old father, Prince Philip. The Prince last saw her on March 12th, shortly before the Queen ensconced herself in Windsor Castle to self-isolate. Charles, 71, is already in the age group that is at most fatal risk from the virus, but is said to only be suffering from "mild" symptoms. His wife, the Duchess of Cornwall, tested negative. All of this comes on the heels of Britain in a state of upheaval, with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson imposing strict restrictions on movement in order to control the spread of the virus.

Rihanna and her nonprofit organization, the Clara Lionel Foundation, have donated much needed personal protective equipment to New York City hospitals, which are overwhelmed with sick patients amid the coronavirus pandemic. Governor Andrew Cuomo on Thursday praised the pop star, tweeting in part, "We're so appreciative of your help and that of so many others who have stepped up." As of Friday, there are more than 39,000 coronavirus cases in New York state. Cuomo also cited Rihanna's nonprofit as one of the several organizations and companies that have donated money and supplies to the state. Some of the donated supplies include hand sanitizer, equipment for field hospitals, free flights for medical volunteers and medical supplies and support items. "New York is fighting a war against this virus and we need all the help we can get. The generosity of these companies, organizations and individuals — and many others coming forward every day to offer support — will play a critical role in our mission to bolster our hospital surge capacity, support frontline workers and get people the help they need," Cuomo said in a statement. https://www.cbsnews.com/news/rihanna-donates-safety-gear-to-new-york-city-hospitals-coronavirus-2020-03-27/

According to a document obtained by Politico, William Barr, Attorney General of the United States, has quietly asked Congress for the power to detain (alleged) criminals and hold them without trial during the duration of the Corvid-19 crisis. According to the Bill of Rights of the United States Constitution every citizen of the United States is entitled to a trial, a trial by jury, a fast and speedy trial and due process under the law. The only body with any legal basis to allow such a thing is the United States Congress. The suspension of Habeas Corpus is not unheard of in American History, Presidents Lincoln, Grant and Roosevelt (FDR) all pushed for and achieved the feat during the Civil War, Reconstruction and World War II. However, the prospect of the Department of Justice being given this power is unlikely to pass. It would need to get past both houses of Congress, and with it being dead on arrival in the Democratic House, with Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez reacting like this: It will likely meet the same fate in the United States Senate with Utah's Mike Lee (Republican) and Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer commenting with this: Every American who gives a shit is encouraged to call their representation in Congress and tell them how they feel about the prospect of their civil rights being taken away.

“For those of you who may be concerned for me personally… yes, I am aware that I am very much in the most vulnerable population, given my age and physical condition,” the 71-year-old author wrote on his blog Tuesday. “But I feel fine at the moment, and we are taking all sensible precautions. I am off by myself in a remote isolated location, attended by one of my staff, and I’m not going in to town or seeing anyone. Truth be told, I am spending more time in Westeros than in the real world, writing every day. Things are pretty grim in the Seven Kingdoms… but maybe not as grim as they may become here.” “Some days, watching the news, I cannot help feeling as if we are all now living in a science fiction novel,” Martin continued. “But not, alas, the sort of science fiction novel that I dreamed of living in when I was a kid, the one with the cities on the Moon, colonies on Mars, household robots programmed with the Three Laws, and flying cars. I never liked the pandemic stories half so well… Let us hope we all come through this safe and sound. Stay well, my friends. Better to be safe than sorry.” https://www.thewrap.com/george-rr-martin-writing-winds-of-winter-coronavirus-self-quarantine-game-of-thrones/

Italy has overtaken China as the country with most coronavirus-related deaths, registering 3,405 dead, a rise of 427 on the day before. Thursday’s figure represented a slight improvement on the day before, when Italy recorded 475 deaths - the most reported by any country in a single day since the start of the outbreak. However, the total number of cases in Italy rose to 41,035 from a previous 35,713, up 14.9%, a faster rate of growth than seen over the last three days, the Civil Protection Agency said. Some 3,245 people have died in China since the virus first emerged there late last year. Italy’s outbreak came to light in the north of the country on 21 February. In recent weeks, as the situation in Italy has darkened, the Italian Government has taken drastic steps to attempt to curb the economic devastation. Rapidly becoming known as the "Italian Cure", the county's borders are closed, all forms of business are shut down, save for grocery stores and pharmacies. A plethora of taxes and social service payments have been suspended. Rents and mortgages have been halted or lowered until further notice. Companies and firms within Italy are not legally allowed to layoff employees without "justifiable, objective reasons" until May. With leaders around the world faced with the prospect of economic ruin, or the deaths of millions, Italy's example offers a way forward. Source

In a letter to President Donald Trump, requesting the aid of Naval Hospital Ships, California Governor Gavin Newsom has revealed that the Golden State expects 56% of their population, or "25.5 million people" to contract the Coronavirus over the next two months. “In the last 24 hours, we had 126 new COVID-19 cases, a 21 percent increase. In some parts of our state, our case rate is doubling every four days,” Newsom wrote in a letter dated Wednesday. Newsom asked Trump to dispatch the USNS Mercy Hospital Ship to the Port of Los Angeles through Sept. 1 to help with the influx of expected cases. The state reported nearly 699 confirmed cases as of 9 p.m. ET Wednesday night, according to the California health department. Newsom said the virus is spreading in the community in 23 counties across the state. It is the third hardest hit state in the U.S., behind Washington state which has 1,376 cases as of 6 p.m. EDT Thursday and New York which has at least 5,000 cases. Earlier this week, Newsom ordered all non-essential businesses to close, including bars, beer pubs and wineries. Source

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin reportedly told a group of Republican Senators that without “massive government intervention” — the unemployment rate of the United States could see 20%, as the impact of the Coronavirus becomes fully known. For reference to scale of that number, US unemployment at the height of the Great Depression hit 25%. The issue has served to unite a bitterly divided Washington — with both parties agreeing to direct cash payments to the public to provide a cushion during this economic contraction. One notable exception is Rand Paul who has attached an Amendment (giving the President power to end the War in Afghanistan) to a law requiring private companies provide 14 paid sick days. The move is designed to slow down the pace of the bill — which has provoked fury on the left. The Restaurant, Warehouse, Airlines and Hospitality industries are already seeing massive, crippling labor losses (Massachusetts saw 20,000 jobless claims in a single day — Colorado saw a 1600% increase in unemployment applications). The situation globally isn’t much better with Norway seeing a 128% jump in unemployment. As a result, most leaders around the world are in agreement that Governments will have to step in to hold some semblance of order — the only question left is how long they can hold it until order is restored.
