"content": "\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Updated 12:10 p.m. \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Federal health officials issued a blunt message Tuesday: Americans need to start preparing now for the possibility that more aggressive, disruptive measures might be needed to stop the spread of the new coronavirus in the U.S.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The strongly worded warning came in response to outbreaks of the virus outside China, including in Iran, Japan, South Korea and Italy, which officials say have raised the likelihood of outbreaks occurring stateside.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It’s not so much a question of if this will happen anymore, but more really a question of when it will happen — and how many people in this country will have severe illness,” Dr. Nancy Messonnier of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention told reporters during a briefing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While aggressive measures such as travel restrictions and the first federal quarantine in a half century have probably slowed the arrival of the coronavirus in the U.S., Messonnier said even more intrusive steps likely will be needed.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We are asking the American public to work with us to prepare with the expectation that this could be bad,” Messonnier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I had a conversation with my family over breakfast this morning. And I told my children that while I didn’t think that they were at risk right now, we, as a family, need to be preparing for significant disruption of our lives,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those measures could include school closings, workplace shutdowns and canceling large gatherings and public events, she warned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand this whole situation may seem overwhelming and that disruption to everyday life may be severe, but these are things that people need to start thinking about now,” Messonnier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Americans need to do things like start making plans to care for their children should schools and day care centers close, she said. They should talk to their employers about how they could work from home. And they should find out if there might be a way to get medical care remotely, such as through telemedicine, Messonnier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She stressed that the current risk remains low. Almost all the cases that have occurred in the United States have been among travelers who got infected overseas. In addition, there’s always the chance that the coronavirus could begin to subside as the spring and summer arrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infectious disease experts say that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/02/20/807483553/coronavirus-is-contagious-but-kids-seem-less-vulnerable-so-far\">80% of infections are mild\u003c/a>, no more severe than the common cold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, there have been 14 confirmed cases of the coronavirus illness COVID-19 in the U.S. and 40 other cases among people who were repatriated to the U.S. after being on the Diamond Princess cruise ship. An additional three cases are among people who were repatriated from Hubei province in China, where the respiratory virus emerged months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hand-washing with soap and water continues to be a top recommendation to protect against the virus, since the abrasiveness of soap helps remove infectious particles from the hands. Experts say that commonly worn surgical masks \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/01/29/800531753/face-masks-what-doctors-say-about-their-role-in-containing-coronavirus\">aren’t very effective protection\u003c/a>. A heavy-duty mask called an N95 respirator is considerably better protection, but it is uncomfortable to wear and can make breathing more difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC has \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/index.html\">advised\u003c/a> against nonessential travel to China and South Korea, countries that have seen the highest numbers of cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because there are so many unknowns, state and local officials and average Americans need to be prepared, Messonnier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I continue to hope that in the end we’ll look back and feel like we were overprepared. But that is a better place to be in than being underprepared,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>World Health Organization Sees Progress\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, despite worrisome new outbreaks in Iran, Italy and South Korea, the coronavirus disease called COVID-19 is not currently a pandemic, the World Health Organization said Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, there are some encouraging trends, especially in Hubei province, where most of the cases have been reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The epidemic there appears to have plateaued in late January and is continuing on a good trajectory. Dr. Bruce Aylward led a WHO trip to China with a scientific delegation that just concluded. On Sunday, he told reporters in Beijing that trend is real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aylward said that he’d spoken to a researcher in Wuhan who is testing potential drugs to treat COVID-19, “and when I asked him what challenge they’re finding in trying to implement the trial, he said the single biggest one is recruiting new patients … because of the drop in cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a good kind of problem. The message from China is that it’s not hopeless, he says. It is possible to control this disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now we’re starting to see countries like Italy take extremely aggressive actions,” Aylward said. “What China has demonstrated is you have to do this, and if you do it you can save lives and prevent thousands of cases of what is a very difficult disease.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting the public’s full cooperation to do the simplest tasks is a reason for the success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Believe it or not, the most valuable thing the whole population can do is wash its hands, continually,” he said. Other useful measures include avoiding crowds, as you’d find in schools and large gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But restricting travel is not on Aylward’s list of useful actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have to lock down cities is the big message from China, in fact,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WHO scientific delegation’s task was to learn what worked in China and to spread the word. But even during their brief trip, the disease was making serious inroads in South Korea, Iran and Italy. As of Monday morning, South Korea \u003ca href=\"https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200224-sitrep-35-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=1ac4218d_2\">had reported\u003c/a> 763 cases, Iran had reported 43 cases — including eight deaths — and Italy added 48 cases to bring its national total to 124.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a lot of speculation about whether this increase means that this epidemic has now become a pandemic,” said WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a news conference in Geneva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been 14 cases of the virus diagnosed in the U.S., all in people who traveled recently to China or their close contacts, according to STAT. Another 39 U.S. residents have been infected in other parts of the world before being repatriated and quarantined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assigning that label isn’t simply a matter of whether a disease is on multiple continents, but whether it’s out of control and doing significant damage. Those are decisions that WHO makes before declaring that a disease is a pandemic. The term was last used for the H1N1 flu virus that struck in 2009, sickening more than 60 million in the U.S. alone and killing some half a million worldwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Does this virus [that causes COVID-19] have pandemic potential?” Tedros asked rhetorically. “Absolutely it has. Are we there yet? From our assessment, not yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s still time for countries to get in front of it. The WHO’s top priorities are to protect health care workers, to protect vulnerable people such as those who are sick and elderly, and to protect vulnerable countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even the advanced nations of Europe have work to do, since their hospitals are pretty full these days with flu patients. Those beds might be needed for coronavirus patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the spread of the coronavirus in Europe can be slowed until the end of flu season, that “will free up significant capacity of the health system,” said Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director for the WHO’s Health Emergency Program. “So even slowing down the virus by a month or six weeks has a massive positive benefit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Health officials in the United States know they can’t count indefinitely on their current strategy — identifying every new case immediately and isolating those patients. So they’re considering containment measures akin to what worked in China, such as school closings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

And I told my children that while I didn’t think that they were at risk right now, we, as a family, need to be preparing for significant disruption of our lives,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Those measures could include school closings, workplace shutdowns and canceling large gatherings and public events, she warned.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I understand this whole situation may seem overwhelming and that disruption to everyday life may be severe, but these are things that people need to start thinking about now,” Messonnier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So Americans need to do things like start making plans to care for their children should schools and day care centers close, she said. They should talk to their employers about how they could work from home. And they should find out if there might be a way to get medical care remotely, such as through telemedicine, Messonnier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>She stressed that the current risk remains low. Almost all the cases that have occurred in the United States have been among travelers who got infected overseas. In addition, there’s always the chance that the coronavirus could begin to subside as the spring and summer arrive.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Infectious disease experts say that \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/02/20/807483553/coronavirus-is-contagious-but-kids-seem-less-vulnerable-so-far\">80% of infections are mild\u003c/a>, no more severe than the common cold.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So far, there have been 14 confirmed cases of the coronavirus illness COVID-19 in the U.S. and 40 other cases among people who were repatriated to the U.S. after being on the Diamond Princess cruise ship. An additional three cases are among people who were repatriated from Hubei province in China, where the respiratory virus emerged months ago.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hand-washing with soap and water continues to be a top recommendation to protect against the virus, since the abrasiveness of soap helps remove infectious particles from the hands. Experts say that commonly worn surgical masks \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2020/01/29/800531753/face-masks-what-doctors-say-about-their-role-in-containing-coronavirus\">aren’t very effective protection\u003c/a>. A heavy-duty mask called an N95 respirator is considerably better protection, but it is uncomfortable to wear and can make breathing more difficult.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The CDC has \u003ca href=\"https://www.cdc.gov/coronavirus/2019-ncov/travelers/index.html\">advised\u003c/a> against nonessential travel to China and South Korea, countries that have seen the highest numbers of cases.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But because there are so many unknowns, state and local officials and average Americans need to be prepared, Messonnier said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I continue to hope that in the end we’ll look back and feel like we were overprepared. But that is a better place to be in than being underprepared,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>World Health Organization Sees Progress\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Meanwhile, despite worrisome new outbreaks in Iran, Italy and South Korea, the coronavirus disease called COVID-19 is not currently a pandemic, the World Health Organization said Monday.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In fact, there are some encouraging trends, especially in Hubei province, where most of the cases have been reported.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The epidemic there appears to have plateaued in late January and is continuing on a good trajectory. Dr. Bruce Aylward led a WHO trip to China with a scientific delegation that just concluded. On Sunday, he told reporters in Beijing that trend is real.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Aylward said that he’d spoken to a researcher in Wuhan who is testing potential drugs to treat COVID-19, “and when I asked him what challenge they’re finding in trying to implement the trial, he said the single biggest one is recruiting new patients … because of the drop in cases.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That’s a good kind of problem. The message from China is that it’s not hopeless, he says. It is possible to control this disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Now we’re starting to see countries like Italy take extremely aggressive actions,” Aylward said. “What China has demonstrated is you have to do this, and if you do it you can save lives and prevent thousands of cases of what is a very difficult disease.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Getting the public’s full cooperation to do the simplest tasks is a reason for the success.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Believe it or not, the most valuable thing the whole population can do is wash its hands, continually,” he said. Other useful measures include avoiding crowds, as you’d find in schools and large gatherings.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But restricting travel is not on Aylward’s list of useful actions.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“You don’t have to lock down cities is the big message from China, in fact,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The WHO scientific delegation’s task was to learn what worked in China and to spread the word. But even during their brief trip, the disease was making serious inroads in South Korea, Iran and Italy. As of Monday morning, South Korea \u003ca href=\"https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200224-sitrep-35-covid-19.pdf?sfvrsn=1ac4218d_2\">had reported\u003c/a> 763 cases, Iran had reported 43 cases — including eight deaths — and Italy added 48 cases to bring its national total to 124.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“There is a lot of speculation about whether this increase means that this epidemic has now become a pandemic,” said WHO Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a news conference in Geneva.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There have been 14 cases of the virus diagnosed in the U.S., all in people who traveled recently to China or their close contacts, according to STAT. Another 39 U.S. residents have been infected in other parts of the world before being repatriated and quarantined.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Assigning that label isn’t simply a matter of whether a disease is on multiple continents, but whether it’s out of control and doing significant damage. Those are decisions that WHO makes before declaring that a disease is a pandemic. The term was last used for the H1N1 flu virus that struck in 2009, sickening more than 60 million in the U.S. alone and killing some half a million worldwide.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Does this virus [that causes COVID-19] have pandemic potential?” Tedros asked rhetorically. “Absolutely it has. Are we there yet? From our assessment, not yet.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There’s still time for countries to get in front of it. The WHO’s top priorities are to protect health care workers, to protect vulnerable people such as those who are sick and elderly, and to protect vulnerable countries.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Even the advanced nations of Europe have work to do, since their hospitals are pretty full these days with flu patients. Those beds might be needed for coronavirus patients.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>If the spread of the coronavirus in Europe can be slowed until the end of flu season, that “will free up significant capacity of the health system,” said Dr. Michael Ryan, executive director for the WHO’s Health Emergency Program. “So even slowing down the virus by a month or six weeks has a massive positive benefit.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

Is that true for Wuhan too?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>TG: Yes. Wuhan right now has more than 200 miles of subways, going to 350 miles in the next four years. It actually has been an industrial center in China in the past 150 years — has complete industrial system like heavy machinery, steel, ship making.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Now it has booming high tech. It’s called ‘Optics Valley’ in China, we actually look [to] Silicon Valley as an inspiration model. It has a booming semiconductor, smart car, internet, cell phone industry. It’s one of the top technology centers in China.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DK: So now you’ve been living in San Jose for 14 years. You have a wife and kids here. And there are also thousands of people in Silicon Valley who went to school in Wuhan.

You know, including me, I thought it could be controlled and contained. But obviously, it didn’t. I mean, the most serious thing that happened is on January 23rd, that really changed the whole thing. \u003cb>\u003c/b>The city got locked down.\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cem> \u003c/em>I understand from that day, this thing’s really serious.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11801726\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 404px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" wp-image-11801726\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Wuhan-United-Image-3-800x600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"404\" height=\"303\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Wuhan-United-Image-3-800x600.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Wuhan-United-Image-3-800x600-160x120.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Wuhan-United-Image-3-800x600-632x474.jpg 632w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2020/02/Wuhan-United-Image-3-800x600-536x402.jpg 536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 404px) 100vw, 404px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">\u003cstrong>Volunteers with Wuhan United.\u003c/strong> \u003ccite>(Courtesy of Wuhan United)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>DK: So how did you go from hearing about the coronavirus and talking with family to deciding how you wanted to help? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We have a WeChat group, a chat group within our alumni. So we immediately feel we need to do something because we knew there’s a huge shortage of personal protection gear for medical staff. So we shout it out: we need to get some supplies to Wuhan.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So at least 2,000 people [are] on the WeChat group from one university. They are all Bay Area engineers. The first day it’s like five, six people. I think after one week we have more than 30 people. And then we started daily evening meetings, started 10:00 p.m. to 12:00 [a.m]. We had daily Zoom video conference discussing what we should do.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Then I thought about \u003ca href=\"https://www.directrelief.org/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Direct Relief,\u003c/a> which I work with while I was working at Google for the earthquake relief. I knew they are great organization. So I I called them on Thursday. We established the formal cooperation Friday to deal with this coronavirus.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cb>\u003c/b>\u003cstrong>DK: Does this work help you feel less worried about what’s going on there? \u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Actually, sometimes it makes me worry \u003cem>more,\u003c/em> because people ask for help, a lot of hospital ask for help, but our capability is very limited.\u003cem> \u003c/em>A lot of times we are frustrated.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>I think this is the opportunity, for example, even for my kids, or even like Chinese Americans, like younger generations — I think it’s opportunity for them to connect to China. Also opportunity for broader audience. That’s why we established Wuhan United to go beyond alumni, to reach out to the general public so they can understand more about Wuhan, understand more about China actually, to help and appreciate the situation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

He was also one of more than 1,700 medical workers confirmed to be infected with the highly contagious virus, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202002/18/WS5e4b7c03a31012821727864d.html\">China Daily\u003c/a>.

And while the country has suffered the majority of deaths associated with the outbreak, health experts in China say there are signs that the pace at which the virus is spreading might be slowing down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR’s Emily Feng reports from Beijing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Today’s numbers from China’s national health commission show that the rate at which new cases reported outside Hubei province, where the epidemic has been concentrated, has dropped for two weeks. China’s top state epidemiologist said earlier this week that he expected the outbreak to peak sometime in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, distrust in official state statistics is still high. Hubei in part has the largest share of virus cases in China because it is the only province that discloses so called clinical cases — symptomatic patients who haven’t tested positive for the virus. Other provinces are mandated to collect such data but have not disclosed these types of cases publicly.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>88 more cases on Diamond Princess cruise ship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Diamond Princess cruise ship quarantined at a terminal in Yokohama, Japan, still represents the largest cluster of COVID-19 cases outside China. On Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/newpage_09606.html\">Japan’s health ministry said\u003c/a> tests confirmed 88 more cases — including 65 people who were identified as asymptomatic pathogen carriers. The diagnoses bring the total number of cases from the ship to 542 out of 2,404 people who have been tested, Japanese officials say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Diamond Princess had some 3,700 people aboard when it docked in the port south of Tokyo earlier this month. But hundreds of people have since disembarked, either to receive care at local hospitals or, in the case of more than 300 American passengers, to fly back to the U.S. on chartered evacuation flights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We walked into the airplane hangar, and there were military people clapping and cheering for us,” former Diamond Princess passenger Gay Courter told NPR’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/02/18/806918693/as-china-tries-to-slow-coronavirus-spread-ripple-effects-continue\">Morning Edition\u003c/a>, describing the scene as she and her husband, Philip, arrived at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. “And that’s when I broke down in tears. It was this overwhelming relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sixty-one U.S. citizens remain on the Diamond Princess, which is slated to begin emerging from its blanket quarantine on Wednesday. While many passengers will be allowed to leave the ship if they test negative for the new coronavirus, others will have to undergo a longer quarantine if they’ve been in close contact with anyone who has the COVID-19 disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Infected U.S. evacuees taken to Omaha, Nebraska\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the U.S. passengers were taken off the Diamond Princess, 14 of them were revealed to have tested positive for the new coronavirus. U.S. officials say they got the results after the patients had been taken off the ship — and that all 14 were placed in a special section at the rear of one of the chartered jets because of the possible health risk to other evacuees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evacuees were flown to Lackland in Texas and Travis Air Force Base in California — the two designated quarantine spots for Diamond Princess passengers taken to the U.S. But 13 infected evacuees were then flown to Omaha, Nebraska, to receive care at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. It’s not clear why the other infected evacuee wasn’t among them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those who have tested positive for this novel coronavirus, are only showing mild symptoms of the disease,” Nebraska Medicine said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The facility includes a 20-bed national quarantine unit, where 12 of the evacuees are now being monitored. But another evacuee was deemed to need specialized care and was placed in a biocontainment unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of Nebraska Medical Center runs the national \u003ca href=\"https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/education/capabilities/index.html\">Training, Simulation and Quarantine Center\u003c/a>, which it says has “the nation’s only federal quarantine unit and simulated biocontainment units for advanced experiential training.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The center has been involved in combating other dangerous outbreaks in recent years, including the Ebola virus outbreak that started in 2014.\u003c/p>\n\u003cdiv class=\"fullattribution\">Copyright 2020 NPR.

From there, it gets reheated as needed and delivered to the ship. Bloch, who directs the group’s field operations, says the meals are ready to serve when their containers are loaded onto the ship by forklift.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The crew doesn’t have to cook and do all the work,” Bloch says. “They get to get some rest.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/chefjoseandres/status/1229544848765706242\">Andrés said via Twitter\u003c/a> that the World Central Kitchen team “will be there working side by side with everyone on the ground as long as we are needed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Before arriving in Japan, Bloch was working in Australia, where World Central Kitchen operates a “relief kitchen” to feed firefighters and evacuees. The organization is active in a number of other places, from Puerto Rico and the Bahamas to Venezuela and along the U.S.-Mexico border.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Hospital director in Wuhan dies of COVID-19\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The director of a hospital in Wuhan, China, the center of a deadly coronavirus outbreak, has died from the disease COVID-19, state media reported Tuesday, highlighting the risk that the respiratory virus poses to health professionals.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Liu Zhiming, whose age is variously being reported as 50 or 51, was head of the Wuchang Hospital. He was also one of more than 1,700 medical workers confirmed to be infected with the highly contagious virus, according to \u003ca href=\"https://www.chinadaily.com.cn/a/202002/18/WS5e4b7c03a31012821727864d.html\">China Daily\u003c/a>. The state news outlet adds that the number of workers dates from last Tuesday — meaning even more doctors, nurses and other medical staff might now be infected.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Outbreak’s pace is seen slowing in China\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mainland China currently has seen more than 70,000 confirmed COVID-19 cases, according to the World Health Organization. And while the country has suffered the majority of deaths associated with the outbreak, health experts in China say there are signs that the pace at which the virus is spreading might be slowing down.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As NPR’s Emily Feng reports from Beijing:\u003c/p>\n\u003cblockquote>\u003cp>“Today’s numbers from China’s national health commission show that the rate at which new cases reported outside Hubei province, where the epidemic has been concentrated, has dropped for two weeks. China’s top state epidemiologist said earlier this week that he expected the outbreak to peak sometime in April.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“However, distrust in official state statistics is still high. Hubei in part has the largest share of virus cases in China because it is the only province that discloses so called clinical cases — symptomatic patients who haven’t tested positive for the virus. Other provinces are mandated to collect such data but have not disclosed these types of cases publicly.”\u003c/p>\u003c/blockquote>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>88 more cases on Diamond Princess cruise ship\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Diamond Princess cruise ship quarantined at a terminal in Yokohama, Japan, still represents the largest cluster of COVID-19 cases outside China. On Tuesday, \u003ca href=\"https://www.mhlw.go.jp/stf/newpage_09606.html\">Japan’s health ministry said\u003c/a> tests confirmed 88 more cases — including 65 people who were identified as asymptomatic pathogen carriers. The diagnoses bring the total number of cases from the ship to 542 out of 2,404 people who have been tested, Japanese officials say.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Diamond Princess had some 3,700 people aboard when it docked in the port south of Tokyo earlier this month. But hundreds of people have since disembarked, either to receive care at local hospitals or, in the case of more than 300 American passengers, to fly back to the U.S. on chartered evacuation flights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We walked into the airplane hangar, and there were military people clapping and cheering for us,” former Diamond Princess passenger Gay Courter told NPR’s \u003ca href=\"https://www.npr.org/2020/02/18/806918693/as-china-tries-to-slow-coronavirus-spread-ripple-effects-continue\">Morning Edition\u003c/a>, describing the scene as she and her husband, Philip, arrived at Lackland Air Force Base in Texas. “And that’s when I broke down in tears. It was this overwhelming relief.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Sixty-one U.S. citizens remain on the Diamond Princess, which is slated to begin emerging from its blanket quarantine on Wednesday. While many passengers will be allowed to leave the ship if they test negative for the new coronavirus, others will have to undergo a longer quarantine if they’ve been in close contact with anyone who has the COVID-19 disease.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Infected U.S. evacuees taken to Omaha, Nebraska\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>After the U.S. passengers were taken off the Diamond Princess, 14 of them were revealed to have tested positive for the new coronavirus. U.S. officials say they got the results after the patients had been taken off the ship — and that all 14 were placed in a special section at the rear of one of the chartered jets because of the possible health risk to other evacuees.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The evacuees were flown to Lackland in Texas and Travis Air Force Base in California — the two designated quarantine spots for Diamond Princess passengers taken to the U.S. But 13 infected evacuees were then flown to Omaha, Nebraska, to receive care at the University of Nebraska Medical Center. It’s not clear why the other infected evacuee wasn’t among them.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Those who have tested positive for this novel coronavirus, are only showing mild symptoms of the disease,” Nebraska Medicine said in a statement.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The facility includes a 20-bed national quarantine unit, where 12 of the evacuees are now being monitored. But another evacuee was deemed to need specialized care and was placed in a biocontainment unit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The University of Nebraska Medical Center runs the national \u003ca href=\"https://www.unmc.edu/healthsecurity/education/capabilities/index.html\">Training, Simulation and Quarantine Center\u003c/a>, which it says has “the nation’s only federal quarantine unit and simulated biocontainment units for advanced experiential training.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

And, a stunning 92% of Democrats in that poll said they support Medicare For All.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But things get a little squishier when you ask independents — who \u003ca href=\"https://elections.cdn.sos.ca.gov/ror/60day-presprim-2020/historical-reg-stats.pdf\">make up more than one-quarter of the California electorate\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Change Research poll found independents more conflicted over Medicare for All, supporting it by 57% to 40%. And other polls, like the Public Policy Institute of California survey that asked more detailed questions, show some more nuance among Democrats and significant differences among different demographic groups.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a November survey, 42% of Democrats polled told PPIC that they support single-payer insurance like Medicare for All — but 36% said they prefer a mix of private and government insurance, which is what more centrist candidates like former Vice President Joe Biden and Buttigieg are pushing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In the broader electorate, self-identified liberals are the most likely (47%) to support single-payer insurance, compared to 18% of moderates and 8% of conservatives. Single payer was also much more popular with 18-44 year olds (40% support); while half of people over 45 said they don’t believe it’s the responsibility of the federal government to provide health care at all — even though people over 65 get Medicare.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Latinos, renters and people who make less than $40,000 a year were all more likely to support single payer than other groups as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So what gives?\u003c/p>\n\u003ch3>Political Ideology Isn’t Pure\u003c/h3>\n\u003cp>The first thing to understand, said Stanford University’s Jon Krosnick, who studies political attitudes, is that almost no one is consistently liberal or conservative.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Almost everybody is a mix of liberal and conservative,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Instead, Krosnick said, most voters pick a party based on a single issue, or even a handful of policy areas they are passionate about. So just because two people are Democrats, or consider themselves liberal, they may have come to that position for very different reasons.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>UC Irvine professor Peter Ditto agrees. He studies partisan political bias — how political ideology biases our political judgments and behavior. Ditto said that while most Americans identify with a political philosophy or party, they really “have a hodgepodge of beliefs and attitudes.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“(People) identify with groups or tribes — so when they’re saying ‘I’m a liberal’ or ‘I’m a conservative,’ ‘I’m a Democrat or a Republican,’ they’re saying something about the kind of people that they go along with,” Ditto said. “And sometimes when they buy into that, they have to kind of shape their attitudes to fit those things.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>So while a large percentage of voters identify as liberal, or Democrat, that doesn’t mean they all agree with the idea of “free” programs.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[pullquote size=\"medium\" align=\"right\" citation=\"Ian Haney López, UC Berkeley law professor\"]‘Why did so many Americans in a landslide support Johnson [and his promises to eradicate poverty] in ’64?

It provided him a way to demonize government itself,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“What he ended up saying was, ‘Look, government programs that supposedly help everyone — they’re actually giveaways to undeserving minorities.’ Now, Goldwater would lose big. But over the next 12 years, in part through the campaign of Richard Nixon, this sort of politics would become very, very powerful.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney López said the master of this was President Ronald Reagan, who beat Democrat Pat Brown in the 1966 California governor’s race, then went on to campaign for president a decade later with his “welfare queen” narrative, which relied on the idea that hard-working white people were having their money taken by government and given to lazy minorities.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside postID=news_11788381 hero='https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2019/11/IMG_3798-1020x765.jpg']Of course, Democrats, led by Bill Clinton, would also embrace a similar strategy in the 1990s with the war on crime and illegal immigration, Haney López said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In California, Shenker-Osorio also sees proof of this in the language used to promote the 1978 anti-tax measure Proposition 13, which she said relied on an “us versus them” narrative that demonized Mexican immigrants and started the tax revolt across the nation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Shenker-Osorio, who does empirical research on political messaging, said some of this is probably embedded in our DNA as both Americans and, to a greater extent, Californians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The puritan work ethic, the idea that people should have to endure and suffer, that it’s character building … and that people who don’t pay are getting away with something,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But there’s more at play, she argued, noting that the countries with the most generous social welfare policies tend to also be the most homogeneous racially.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People would accept and vote for increase in whatever public program we are talking about if it did not apply to people outside their race,” she said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But she and Haney López say that these messages have become so embedded in our collective consciousness that it isn’t just white people who hold these views.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Let’s be a little more sophisticated about how we understand race,” Haney López said. “This rhetoric affects people of all different races … The story we’re being offered by the right is, ‘The reason some people are rich is because they work hard … And the reason so many are poor is because there’s something wrong with them. They didn’t work hard or they’re lazy or they’re cheaters or they have an entitlement mentality.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t mean, said Haney López, that Americans can’t have a legitimate debate about what programs we should offer, or even who should qualify for them. But, he said, those having the conversation should take into account what deeply embedded biases might be informing their viewpoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[aside label='Election 2020' tag='election2020']He pointed to anger over the idea of making college free for future generations — the divide was perhaps best exemplified at a recent Elizabeth Warren event in Iowa, where \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/JiveBunnyMuzik/status/1219698105622368257?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1219698105622368257&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxnews.com%2Fpolitics%2Fwarren-confronted-iowa-dad?ftag=YHF4eb9d17\">a man confronted the Massachusetts senator\u003c/a>, asking why she wants to pay for college for people who didn’t save their money while people like him, who did save, “are getting screwed.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Haney López said that conversation is “undergirded by a view of demographic change. It’s a view that rests on a statement like, why should I pay for other people’s children? Well, why are they other people’s children? Why aren’t they our children? Why isn’t there a collective sense that as Americans, we’re all in this together?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, even people who like the idea of a single-payer health care system may be grappling with another hurdle, said Shenker-Osorio — their personal experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are incredibly risk averse, and their lived experience is health care only getting worse,” she said. “We know the current system is bad, but we have absolutely no lived experience that change can make it better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Ditto, the UC Irvine professor, said showing people that something new works is the easiest way to change their minds — he pointed to how relatively quickly gay marriage has become more broadly acceptable over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it’s not easy to convince people of a collective good, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The natural state of people is to break up into groups and dislike each other — that’s human history. You know, the American government is pushing against the grain of a million years of human evolution and try to say, yeah, you should get along with people who disagree with you,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easier to try to drive people apart — a strategy that President Trump has embraced to devastating effect, Ditto said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And countering that, no matter which flavor of candidate voters choose, might be the biggest challenge facing Democrats this election year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

They didn’t work hard or they’re lazy or they’re cheaters or they have an entitlement mentality.’ ”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That doesn’t mean, said Haney López, that Americans can’t have a legitimate debate about what programs we should offer, or even who should qualify for them. But, he said, those having the conversation should take into account what deeply embedded biases might be informing their viewpoint.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

It’s a view that rests on a statement like, why should I pay for other people’s children? Well, why are they other people’s children? Why aren’t they our children? Why isn’t there a collective sense that as Americans, we’re all in this together?”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Of course, even people who like the idea of a single-payer health care system may be grappling with another hurdle, said Shenker-Osorio — their personal experience.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“People are incredibly risk averse, and their lived experience is health care only getting worse,” she said. “We know the current system is bad, but we have absolutely no lived experience that change can make it better.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peter Ditto, the UC Irvine professor, said showing people that something new works is the easiest way to change their minds — he pointed to how relatively quickly gay marriage has become more broadly acceptable over the past decade.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But, it’s not easy to convince people of a collective good, he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“The natural state of people is to break up into groups and dislike each other — that’s human history. You know, the American government is pushing against the grain of a million years of human evolution and try to say, yeah, you should get along with people who disagree with you,” he said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>It’s easier to try to drive people apart — a strategy that President Trump has embraced to devastating effect, Ditto said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>And countering that, no matter which flavor of candidate voters choose, might be the biggest challenge facing Democrats this election year.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

"content": "\u003cp>No major pharmaceutical company has come forward to say it would manufacture a novel coronavirus vaccine, currently being developed by the National Institutes of Health, a top U.S. official acknowledged Tuesday, a reality that he called “very difficult and very frustrating.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The comments by Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, highlight how challenging it could be to translate the NIH’s work, being undertaken in partnership with the biotech company Moderna Therapeutics, into a vaccine that could be marketed. Fauci described the circumstances as challenging. “Companies that have the skill to be able to do it are not going to just sit around and have a warm facility, ready to go for when you need it,” Fauci said, speaking on a panel Tuesday hosted by the Aspen Institute and moderated by STAT’s Helen Branswell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci said it would be at least a year before a coronavirus vaccine would be available. However, that timeline assumes a large pharmaceutical manufacturer does step up to help make the product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine being developed by the NIH and Moderna uses mRNA technology and is being funded by the Oslo, Norway-based Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. CEPI is funding three other efforts to develop a vaccine for the novel coronavirus. None of those partners, however, have the kind of commercial facilities that major pharmaceutical makers have and that would be capable of making the product in bulk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson & Johnson has announced it is interested in developing its own coronavirus vaccine. On Tuesday, the company’s vaccine division, Janssen, said it would partner with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services to develop that vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement, the agency’s director, Rick Bright, said “speed is crucial to saving lives and reducing further spread of the virus. Janssen is a proven partner with a flexible, rapid, vaccine platform.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Major drug makers, including Merck and GlaxoSmithKline, have stepped in to manufacture vaccines for previous public health emergencies. The vaccine against Ebola recently approved by the Food and Drug Administration and European regulators was manufactured by Merck.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>At other times, however, companies have responded in public health crises to develop vaccines, only to have those crises fade and to \u003ca href=\"https://www.statnews.com/2018/01/11/vaccines-drug-makers/\">be left with the enormous sunk costs\u003c/a> of having to develop products for which there was no longer a market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“When we were doing this with Ebola, it was a major vaccine company that got burned who’s now pulling out of that,” Fauci added, without naming the company. “It is going to be a challenge to be able to get a major company to do that.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5faOFdMfti8&feature=youtu.be\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Speaking alongside Fauci at the event was Ron Klain, who served as Ebola czar in the Obama administration and who echoed concerns that drug makers may be wary of getting involved again.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I don’t work for the companies, I’m not like a drug company fan,” Klain said, “but there’s no question that a lot of them lost a lot of money trying to produce an Ebola vaccine.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cem>This story was originally published by STAT, an online publication of Boston Globe Media that covers health, medicine, and scientific discovery.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\n",

Fauci described the circumstances as challenging. “Companies that have the skill to be able to do it are not going to just sit around and have a warm facility, ready to go for when you need it,” Fauci said, speaking on a panel Tuesday hosted by the Aspen Institute and moderated by STAT’s Helen Branswell.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Fauci said it would be at least a year before a coronavirus vaccine would be available. However, that timeline assumes a large pharmaceutical manufacturer does step up to help make the product.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The vaccine being developed by the NIH and Moderna uses mRNA technology and is being funded by the Oslo, Norway-based Coalition for Epidemic Preparedness Innovations. CEPI is funding three other efforts to develop a vaccine for the novel coronavirus. None of those partners, however, have the kind of commercial facilities that major pharmaceutical makers have and that would be capable of making the product in bulk.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Johnson & Johnson has announced it is interested in developing its own coronavirus vaccine. On Tuesday, the company’s vaccine division, Janssen, said it would partner with the Biomedical Advanced Research and Development Authority, an agency of the Department of Health and Human Services to develop that vaccine.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
