Kim Jong Un a no-show at traditional celebration. People speculate about health issue. #NK #North_Korea
He's basically an absolute dictator. Maybe he just got tired of honoring his grandfather's memory. Or maybe his nation's claim of zero #COVID-19 infections is false. There's really no way to tell, because despite the celebration being a tradition that he embraced, no one is going to force him to continue it, or require "a good reason" for him missing it.
Heck, maybe his #Depends leaked ten minutes before the celebration started and he did not have time to find another pair of pants large enough to fit.
#idle_speculation (Pretty useless, eh? That's the point.)

@adcock WHO may need to be taught a lesson, but not when the pandemic is just getting started in the poorer parts of the world. Besides, even when China's numbers appeared to be unrealistically optimistic (as they still do), and WHO seemed to believe what they were told, it was clear that #COVID-19 could escape and run rampant in other countries.

US President #Trump suspends support payments to #WHO pending investigation.
I strongly disagree with this. Wait until the world gets a handle on the #COVID-19 outbreak. Besides, even though no one may have known just how big this would become (not even WHO), it was predictable fairly early on that cases could come here and start spreading locally. No one is saying to suspend funding the US government because there weren't enough test kits available and deployed to localities where outbreaks were most likely.

Some sites say this vaccine shows promise in reducing #COVID-19 ... normally used against tuberculosis and leprosy ... costs $0.16 to $1.11 per dose in the developing world, $100 to $200 per dose in the US.

Note for self-medicating folks: This is just one study. It could be refuted by another study tomorrow.

"We don’t know how horrible the economic damage will be but we know it will be huge.
And we are still nowhere near the total flu deaths we see each year."
Dude, US deaths from #COVID-19 (26,033) versus US deaths from #influenza (24K-62K). With far fewer infections, #coronavirus has already caught up.

Three #Amazon employees who were publicly critical of the company’s treatment of employees during the #COVID-19 outbreak have been fired.
Also, the #SBA expects the full !smallbiz support fund to be committed by Thursday (2020-04-16). Hopefully President #Trump and #Congress can get their acts together to add more to the pot.

My nephew's $EMPLOYER had a few #COVID-19 infected employees at that location. He says they did not clean the place and one of the sick employees came to work after suspecting the disease. He's decided to stay off-work for two weeks.
I'm tempted to call his cousin ( my nephew #PizzaMan ) who also works there and ask about the conditions, but I don't know how I could do that without making it sound like I'm checking up on the first nephew. I'm not wanting to start any kind of family trouble.

Co-worker Kenny called. He's been talking to TechTeam members throughout $EMPLOYER and has the gotten the impression that it will be months before many of us are called back to work because the agency fears that our crowded offices could be an ideal #COVID-19 breeding ground.
Kenny has been off on medical leave for over a year, but says he's finally starting to feel a little better ... just in time to stay inside his home to avoid the #SARS-CoV-2 #coronavirus.

"the use of hydroxychloroquine and azithromycin for patients with COVID19"
TL;DR: This drug combo has a possible side effect: death due to cardiac arrest. The study that investigated it failed to meet the basics of scientific medical studies.
