New York Hospitals Treating Coronavirus Patients with Vitamin C
Seriously sick coronavirus patients in New York state’s largest hospital system are being given massive doses of vitamin C — based on promising reports that it’s helped people in hard-hit China, The Post has learned.

How the Marines Hope to Use the F-35 in Electronic Warfare
*David Axe* *Technology, Americas* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2015%3Anewsml_TM3EB5J0Z6S01&share=true] A vast improvement? *Key point: *The electronic domain is one where foreign competitors are trying to get the upper-hand. Here's how the Marines want to stop that from happening. The U.S. Marine Corps is trying to figure out how to wage electronic warfare now that the service has retired the last of its EA-6B Prowler radar-jamming planes.

This was done on purpose long ago to prevent such future Latin American misadventures. A failed coup attempt targeting Venezuelan president Nicolas Maduro on April 30 ended in confusion and failure. Russian and Cuban advisors and a strong core of the Venezuelan military continues to support Maduro ami... more »

*Arif Rafiq* *Security, Middle East* [image: An Afghan Sikh cries inside a Sikh religious complex after an attack in Kabul, Afghanistan March 25, 2020.REUTERS/Mohammad Ismail] Sadly, the tragedy of Afghanistan is likely to continue for the foreseeable future. And its problems are bound to be compounded by the Coronavirus pandemic.

So many, in fact, that it could overwhelm defenses at different U.S. bases. A sudden Chinese attack quickly could wipe out U.S. forces in the Asia-Pacific region and block the United States from intervening in a regional war. That’s the startling conclusion of an August 2019 report from the United States Studies Center at the University of Syd... more »
The Case for Economic Optimism during the Coronavirus Pandemic
*Arturo Bris* *Health, * The situation isn't as bad as it may seem. Stock markets are rebounding on the back of the newly agreed US$2 trillion American fiscal stimulus plan. It comes after a week that was the worst in history for the Dow and many others around the world. My impression is that the unfolding global recession has now been fully priced into stocks by investors. That recession looks all but guaranteed, of course: Chinese GDP is estimated to have dropped 12% in the first two months of the year – a harbinger of what is coming everywhere. One useful guide is the market ... more »
Tip from an Expert: Choose Home Birth During a Coronavirus Hospital Surge
*Manavi Handa* *Health, Americas* [image: Reuters] As a midwife working in Toronto for over twenty years, I can also speak about another important lesson learned during SARS that is often forgotten or overlooked: the importance of home birth and the role of midwives during an epidemic. For many health-care providers who worked through the 2003 SARS epidemic, especially in epicentres, like Toronto, the COVID-19 pandemic is a reminder of the many lessons health-care providers learned at that time. Social distancing measures are the most effective way to “flatten the curve” and min... more »
How the Science Advisory Group for Emergencies Is Advising the UK Government on Coronavirus
*Ian Boyd* *Security, Europe* [image: Reuters] SAGE has the job of integrating the information from these disparate sources and of augmenting advice where necessary if it recognises any gaps.

How do they operate and how can single individuals work across the wide range of technical knowledge needed in the complex circumstances associated with COVID-19? The answer is that they are at ... more »
Congress Is Infected: Coronavirus Could Lead To Remote Voting For America's Representatives
*Stanley M. Brand* *Politics, Americas* For all of U.S. history so far, the House and Senate have had to take votes in person, in their respective chambers. Now, public health measures may prevent that. The spread of the coronavirus has created unprecedented problems for Congress as it confronts how to conduct legislative business after the infection of several members. Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., told Politico, “We probably cannot keep operating all in one location.” For all of U.S. history so far, the House and Senate have had to take votes in person, in their respective chamber... more »

Insignia, as Best Buy’s TV brand, is sort of like the Frankenstein of the TV world.

Why Doesn’t Everyone Follow Coronavirus Lockdown Rules?
*Patricia Riddell* *Coronavirus, * It's a matter of individual perspective and personality. You may have noticed that some people have responded very differently to new rules on lockdown and social distancing. Some seem appalled. Other reassured. What might account for these differences? It is easy to think that we are all reacting to the same events in the world and so should have similar responses to them. But that’s not quite what happens in our brains. We do not have the capacity to capture all the information that is coming through our senses – what we see, hear and feel. I... more »
Not Good: Why Russia and America Are Racing to Build Intermediate-Range Nuclear Missiles
*David Axe* *Security, World* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2017%3Anewsml_RC17CC87E5B0&share=true] The old INF treaty has been killed. *Key point: *Washington and Moscow are building new missiles once banned under the INF Treaty. How much might this destabilize the world? The U.S. military on Aug. 18, 2019 successfully tested a ground-launched, intermediate-range, nuclear-capable cruise missile. It’s exactly the kind of kind of missile that the 1987 Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces treaty, or INF, had banned before the administration of U.S. ... more »

That means doubling down on existing warships and not building new expensive and large ones. The Russian navy on Aug. 14, 2019 completed a key test of an upgraded missile corvette. The trial underscores the evolution of the Russian fleet from a force dominated by a few large vessels to one with a larger number of smaller ships. The up... more »
Could Japan's F-3 Fighter Scare China More Than the F-35?
*Charlie Gao* *Security, Asia* [image: https://www.reutersconnect.com/all?id=tag%3Areuters.com%2C2018%3Anewsml_RC1663188DB0&share=true] Only time will tell... *Key Point:* Tokyo wants a new fighter that could do things the F-35 can't. Depending on how that works out, it could prove to be a deadly foe. In February 2019, Japan turned heads with its decision to proceed with the development of an indigenous stealth fighter jet. This came in the wake of the decision to purchase more than one hundred American F-35 jets, and the supposed cancellation of the Japanese X-2 stealth fighter... more »

First Statewide Suit Against Corrections Dept. Over Response To COVID-19 Outbreak
Being one of the first areas to have encountered Covid-19, the West Coast is ahead of the rest of the country in its response and preventative efforts. Like many states the entry of nonessential personnel into state facilities have been suspended, this includes visitation, extended family visits, social outings and work release as well as volunteer services. Prisoners, being in an already socially isolating environment, depend on regular communication with friends and family on the outside for their emotional health and psychological well-being.

Boston School Bus Drivers Win Emergency Full Pay During School Closure

In Pursuit Of Chinese Scapegoats, Media Reject Life-Saving Lessons
We are barely a few months into the year, but it is already clear that the coronavirus will be 2020’s defining event in media and politics. For weeks, conservative media echoed the explicit Trump line that the reaction to COVID-19 was a liberal “hoax” weaponized against the White House. Recent Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient Rush Limbaugh has been pouring scorn on the media “hysteria”: Extolling how the market was “roaring” (Rush Limbaugh Show, 3/2/20), he claimed it was nothing to worry about. “This virus is the common cold,” he confidently predicted (3/11/20).

Urgent crowdsourcing: DIY respirator projects… and one costing $100
These are fast-moving, “interesting times.” In ten days, parts of the U.S. and Canada may experience a dire medical emergency, akin to what we see today in Italy. Hundreds of thousands may need respiratory support while their immune systems fight off the COVID-19 virus. Without that support, thousands could die. I spent last week working with Peter Diamandis’s XPRIZE group to outline a “DIY Ventilator Challenge” – but events surged past as teams around the world are already leaping ahead, conjuring ways to amplify the number of ventilators available, or hacking emergency alternative... more »
