News 2020 04 03 April 3 Friday

I feel it is essential that everyone have good, useful, news so that they can make their choices daily.  Here are the reports and interviews which highlight the state of things, as they were on April 3 and earlier 2020.  My facebook friends will probably appreciate that I'm only going to make this post regarding "news" today :-) -- Aaron

'Protective bubbles': How 2 Army generals stopped the spread of coronavirus among their soldiers

He immediately raised the risk level to “high” for all U.S. forces in the country, limited base access to only those whose presence was “mission-essential,” instituted telework procedures and insisted that all those entering the bases be medically screened, which required filling out a questionnaire and having their temperatures taken. The number of people trying to come onto base dropped 60 percent, “which further reduced the potential spread” of the coronavirus to U.S. Forces Korea troops, Abrams said.
The general also shut down all Defense Department schooling for U.S. children on the peninsula and placed all bars, restaurants and movie theaters off-limits to U.S. Forces Korea personnel and their families. The new rules, which remain in place, mean U.S. Forces Korea personnel and their family members are allowed off base only to visit medical providers, grocery stores and pharmacies, as well as to travel to and from work. For those working on base, there are strict social distancing requirements, while all commonly used items and surfaces are repeatedly wiped down throughout the workday.

There is no Fault, We're in this Together

You are here, now. No matter where you are, no matter what you might sense... hear, see, smell, feel, taste... you are here, now, at this moment. And, more likely than not, you are a part of civilization. Why are you here? You are here because of a series of events, from the beginning of time until now, or at least, so it seems.  You were inevitable.  Now, your history is something different.  It is not the reason you are here, rather, it is the story of how you got here.  For example, at some point, your biological mother became pregnant, and this is often considered the beginning of the story.  But, you are not just any human, you are you, and what made you who you are is really two parts: the contents of that single sperm and single ova, and after they combined, everything that surrounded you, and how you responded and were changed by it. And, now you are here, reading, or maybe listening, to this.  And I, of course, the result of a ...
