U.S. Reps Urge Relief Measures for Students Impacted by Coronavirus Closures

Jessica Ruf at Diverse - 21 hours ago
More and more colleges are closing their classroom doors — and in some cases, their residence halls — as epidemiologists urge people to refrain from public gatherings amid the coronavirus pandemic. However, while beneficial to public health and safety, such precautions may place the heaviest burden on those who are most vulnerable: low-income students with housing and food insecurity.

If You Feel Like You Have The Flu, It May Not Be Coronavirus, It May Be That Keto Diet

News Staff at Science 2.0 blogs - 21 hours ago
If you are experiencing symptoms such as fatigue, nausea, dizziness, decreased energy, feeling faint and heartbeat alterations after starting the fad keto diet, you may not have coronavirus or influenza, it may just be the diet. These are low-carbohydrate, high-fat diets which result in elevated levels of ketones in the blood. A *Frontiers in Nutrition* study reports that symptoms peak in the first 7 days but dwindle after four weeks. Severity is a wide range because the data are anecdotal, much like the claims of health benefits. read more

U.S. Ground Troops Overwhelmingly Prefer The A-10 Over The F-35

War News Updates Editor at War News Updates - 21 hours ago
*National Interest:* *Ground Troops Overwhelmingly Prefer the A-10 Over the F-35 or Anything Else* When American troops lay their lives on the line in combat, they expect that their country will give them the best available support and protection. We can do no less than give them the close air support platform they know they need. Many Air Force senior officers contend that close air support (CAS) can be done by any platform that can launch a guided weapon at a set of target coordinates. Combat teaches otherwise. Troops who've needed and received close support in combat know h... more »

Greg Hunter, "Long Term Target For the DOW Jones Is 5,000"

CoyotePrime at Running 'Cause I Can't Fly - 21 hours ago
*"Long Term Target For the DOW Jones Is 5,000"* By Greg Hunter’s USAWatchdog.com "Renowned geopolitical and financial cycle expert Charles Nenner told his clients back in January 2020, “It was time to sell. I am afraid they can lose 40% to the downside.” Well, we are more than halfway there, and Nenner warns it’s going to go lower - much lower. Nenner says, “You know it was all over the media, and they were always laughing at me that my long term target is 5,000 for the DOW Jones. They ask me how are we going to get there, and I say I don’t know. Now, this thing with the virus, ther... more »

America's Essex Class Aircraft Carrier Was a Killer on the High Seas

Sebastien Roblin at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Sebastien Roblin* *Security, * The Essex carriers were thrust into the cauldron of the Pacific War which had already consumed five of the eight fleet carriers the Navy began the conflict with. *Key point: *The *Essex*’s best defense and offense came from the new generation of aircraft she carried, all with ranges of a thousand miles or longer. Perhaps no vessel embodies the U.S. Navy’s embrace of the aircraft carrier as the centerpiece of its strategy as the *Essex*-class carrier. Between 1943 and 1950, twenty-four of the thirty-thousand-ton carriers were built at shipyards in... more »

What If Nazi Germany and Japan's Biggest Battleships Did Battle? Who Wins?

Robert Farley at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Robert Farley* *Security, Asia* Could it have happened? *Key point:* Although large and capable of absorbing enormous battle damage, Bismarck and Tirpitz simply did not compare favorably with any other navy’s fast battleships. Can we imagine a scenario in which two titans of World War II, the German battleship Bismarck and the Japanese battleship Yamato, would come into conflict? Difficult, but not impossible. Had the Battle of the Marne gone the other way, Germany might have forced France from the World War I in the early fall of 1914, just as it did in the spring of 1940. Ger... more »

Experts Answer 10 Likely Questions You Have About Self-Isolation During the Coronavirus Outbreak

Julii Brainard, Paul Hunter at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Julii Brainard, Paul Hunter* *Health, Europe* Here are the answers to your questions. One of the strategies the British government will use to control the spread of COVID-19 is self-isolation.

China Thinks India Is Too Incompetent To Operate A Modern Aircraft Carrier

Michael Peck at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael Peck* *Security, Asia* A fire on an Indian carrier left one officer dead. *Key point:* During the Cold War, it was China that relied on huge armies of infantry armed with old Soviet-designed weapons. India’s only aircraft carrier suffered a fire that left one sailor dead. And China, which is India’s rival, says this is because Indians aren’t competent enough to operate advanced military equipment. The fire broke out in the engine room of the carrier *Vikramaditya* as it entered the Indian naval base at Karwar on April 26. The blaze was extinguished, but not before an In... more »

South Africa Can't Afford to Bungle the Coronavirus the Way It Did the Spanish Flu

Howard Phillips at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Howard Phillips* *Health, Africa* [image: Reuters] About 300,000 South Africans died within six weeks. As the issue of repatriation of foreign nationals from China grabs the headlines in South Africa and elsewhere on the continent in the wake of the spread of COVID-19, there are some important lessons that can still be drawn from events 102 years ago in 1918 when an earlier epidemic, of so-called Spanish flu, arrived in the country. This was the most devastating pandemic of modern times, killing more than 50 million people around the world (or 3%-4% of the globe’s population) i... more »

Small, But Deadly: Singapore's Navy Is A South Asian Powerhouse

Bahauddin Foizee at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Bahauddin Foizee* *Security, Asia* Singapore's navy leadership knows what they need to extend their reach and flexibility against threats. *Key point:* Singapore has been the Southeast-Asia's largest military spender for several years now. A tiny yet wealthy city-state, Singapore is a major financial hub of Asia. While this moneyed image has become the mainstream depiction of Singapore, many are unaware of the fact that Singaporean armed forces are active contributors to the security of the region, and in particular its navy has been actively patrolling the regional waters alon... more »

Fireside Chat Fail: Why President Trump Couldn't Calm the Nation

Michael J. Socolow at The National Interest - 21 hours ago
*Michael J. Socolow* *Security, Americas* [image: Reuters] President Donald Trump’s March 11 speech didn't even fulfill the most important goals of a live, prime-time broadcast address from the White House. The president of the United States was speaking to the nation live, on television, from the Oval Office.

Worse than Coronavirus? How to Prevent a (Information) Pandemic

Michael Wade at The National Interest - 23 hours ago
*Michael Wade* *Public Health, World* [image: Reuters] The World Health Organization (WHO) has aptly coined the term “infodemic” to describe the unconstrained spread of information. Could we even have reached a level of “information terrorism”, where fearmongering – often only loosely based on facts – is terrifying readers, viewers and listeners across the globe?

Coronavirus Control Measures Could Save Millions of Lives

Matthew McQueen at The National Interest - 23 hours ago

That’s the estimate from leading epidemiological experts on communicable disease dynamics. Even the best-case scenario using those numbers means nearly 40,000,000 adults will be infected in the United States alone. Some people may start to feel fatalistic in the face of those kinds of statistics. There ar... more »

Naming diseases is important because mistakes among professionals and the public about what something is called can lead to bad outcomes. If someone misspells Ebola, say Eboma, it’s unlikely that a mistake will be made, but mis-numbering H1N1, for example, might lead to the wrong treatment. Popular names are important because they are not likely to be misinterpreted. But these can apparently lead... more »
