As Outbreaks grow and spread in Asia, Europe and the Middle East, U.S. officials warn Americans to brace for their own. For the U.S., it’s not if but when, federal officials say. Americans should brace for the likelihood that the coronavirus will spread to communities in the United States, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warned Tuesday. “It’s not so much of a question of if this will happen in this country any more but a question of when this will happen,” said Dr. Nancy Messonnier, director of the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases. She said that public health officials have no idea whether the spread of the disease to the United States would be mild or severe, but that Americans should be ready for a significant disruption to their daily lives.

Bernie Sanders’ Deportation Moratorium Isn’t A Full Moratorium

Image
Sanders’ campaign manager said Thursday that violent criminals would still be deported under the candidate’s plan for a moratorium. LAS VEGAS — On Thursday, Bernie Sanders’ campaign reversed one part of his immigration platform: a blanket moratorium on deportations pending a policy audit. Instead, Sanders’ campaign manager Faiz Shakir argued that the while the moratorium on deportations “would affect 99% of the people living here,” it would not be absolute. The moratorium, he said, would not apply to “violent criminals” and that some people serving time in prison would have a deportation decided “on a case by case basis.” That hews closer to what other Democratic candidates have said: They will not commit to a moratorium on deporting immigrants with criminal records, especially those convicted of a violent crime. Sanders’ promise of a blanket moratorium has won praise from immigration activist groups and was part of the reason several endorsed the senator over other candidates...

NEW YORK (AP) — The name that keeps coming up more than any other at Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial — Annabella Sciorra — was front and center again Friday as jurors began their fourth day of deliberations by listening to a reading of a large chunk of her testimony. Before going home the day before, the Manhattan jury had sent the judge a note saying it wanted to review the cross-examination of the “Sopranos” actress and any follow-up questioning by prosecutors. The jury has already focused on emails that Weinstein sent regarding Sciorra, including ones to the private Israeli spy agency he allegedly enlisted to dig up dirt on would-be accusers as reporters were working on stories about allegations against him in 2017.

Coronavirus live updates: Inspectors in Wuhan go door-to-door searching for every coronavirus case

“Wartime” measures have been implemented in some parts of the Chinese province of Hubei, which is home to Wuhan — the epicenter of the new coronavirus outbreak. Some residents have been barred from leaving their apartments, and officials in protective suits were going door-to-door in Wuhan this week looking for infected people. “This must be taken seriously,” Wang Zhonglin, Wuhan’s newly selected Communist Party secretary, said, according to The Associated Press.
