The White House will conduct coronavirus tests on all journalists slated to attend Thursday’s coronavirus task force briefing as a precautionary measure, the White House Correspondents’ Association announced.

“This is happening today in light of the news yesterday that a member of the White House press corps who was at the White House on Tuesday is experiencing symptoms consistent with coronavirus,” said the organization’s President Jonathan Karl, adding that the journalist’s coronavirus test results were expected later in the day.

The new measures Thursday come after Deborah Birx, the White House’s coronavirus response coordinator, warned Wednesday that the nation’s capital could be among the next hot spots for the disease.

It's been clear for a while that they'd not been keeping track of the outbreak as well as the othe places that looked successful based on the metrics. Still sad to see it confirmed though.


Egads, the White House actually being involved in a sensible precaution! Of course it will turn out to be a pretext to exclude journalists they don't like won't it. :smith:

I hope they test the non-press attendees as well...

i thought it was that it isn't sterile in the medical sense (ie it isn't a 100% intact seal) but it's still effective for the stuff it is covering just not as well as if it was a perfect fit

this virus seems to spread really well from breathing and is really bad at living in any other situation so we need to get ppl in burly reusable masks that get sterilized after their shifts imo instead of nurses weeping behind tattered surgical masks jfc

C-SPAM Times best-selling author

It was about the 10th of September that my curiosity led, or rather drove, me to go and see this pit again, when there had been near 400 people buried in it; and I was not content to see it in the day-time, as I had done before, for then there would have been nothing to have been seen but the loose earth; for all the bodies that were thrown in were immediately covered with earth by those they called the buriers, which at other times were called bearers; but I resolved to go in the night and see some of them thrown in.

There was a strict order to prevent people coming to those pits, and that was only to prevent infection. But after some time that order was more necessary, for people that were infected and near their end, and delirious also, would run to those pits, wrapt in blankets or rugs, and throw themselves in, and, as they said, bury themselves. I cannot say that the officers suffered any willingly to lie there; but I have heard that in a great pit in Finsbury, in the parish of Cripplegate, it lying open then to the fields, for it was not then walled about, [many] came and threw themselves in, and expired there, before they threw any earth upon them; and that when they came to bury others and found them there, they were quite dead, though not cold.

This may serve a little to describe the dreadful condition of that day, though it is impossible to say anything that is able to give a true idea of it to those who did not see it, other than this, that it was indeed very, very, very dreadful, and such as no tongue can express.

you should be able to wear a mask around a rotating machine, think about a guy who is turning a toxic metal on a lathe or really anyone grinding anything, its more grabbable than bare skin but in a lot of cases not wearing one is clearly a greater hazard and theres no dangly bits from a real mask especially an industrial one

Yep, if you've got the right mask, absolutely no problem. Now bear in mind that the policy says no one is allowed in without a mask, they're not providing known safe masks, not giving any guidance on what is a safe mask, stores around here have been sold out of masks for a while, and the policy is effective immediately. Definitely not gonna end up with unsafe masks because people are afraid to lose their job, no sir.

I came to the conclusion yesterday that soaking beans is for chumps. Yeah that's right, I'm a Non-Soaker.

1. Fill pot with 3:1 ratio water:beans
3. Add bay leaves and salt
4. Bring to a boil
5. Cover and simmer for a few hours until beans soft
