Coronavirus breaches White House as rest of America re-opens

WASHINGTON: Three aides working for US President , vice-president , and first daughter have tested positive for the novel this week. This has brought the pandemic to within a degree of the center of power in the US and made the White House an unexpected emerging hotspot even as large parts of America is now re-opening for business to very light footfall. All three principals and their spouses are reported to have tested negative for the virus. The White House has now updated its protocol to include daily tests for everyone entering the complex, though Trump himself is skeptical of the process and has disdained masking and social distancing guidelines outlined by his own administration. The...

Two White House Coronavirus Cases Raise Question of if Anyone Is Really Safe

White House employees, and reporters, watch President Donald Trump, aboard Marine One, depart the White House in Washington, Tuesday, May 5, 2020. (Al Drago/The New York Times) WASHINGTON — In his eagerness to reopen the country, President Donald Trump faces the challenge of convincing Americans that it would be safe to go back to the workplace. But the past few days have demonstrated that even his own workplace may not be safe from the coronavirus. Vice President Mike Pence’s press secretary tested positive for the virus Friday, forcing a delay in the departure of Air Force Two while a half-dozen other members of his staff were taken off the plane for further testing. That came only a day...

Installing shingles in wet weather

Q. Lately, now that it’s spring, I’m seeing roofers putting on new shingles and assume people are getting leaks that must be making them a little desperate, because roofers are working on wet roofs or in cold weather or when it’s drizzling. Can roof shingles be put on in wet weather? I was taught by my father, a carpenter who was extremely careful with everything he did. I learned what to do (and not to do) from him, and he never would have allowed this. Is there...

Magnolia Magat already was set on implementing Centers for Disease Control and Prevention-driven changes to her Truffles N’ Bacon Cafe, 8872 S. Eastern Ave., before the governor told her what she must to do open her business on Saturday. If she doesn’t comply with mandated social distancing, face coverings for her employees and limiting occupancy, she is at risk of a verbal warning, citation and business license suspension. But that likely won’t concern Magat, whose measures for her own cafe will be more stringent than those...

Flynn dismissal a surprise? AG Barr in sync with Trump

WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump says he didn’t know the Justice Department was planning to drop its case against his former national security adviser, Michael Flynn. But it didn't really matter. The extraordinary action underscored the extent to which Trump and Attorney General William Barr have been in sync in their views on the federal Trump-Russia investigation — with or without communicating about it. Barr himself has openly challenged the decisions of predecessors and his own prosecutors. He's launched internal probes to investigate the investigators. Trump is emphatically welcoming the Flynn action. He has relentlessly railed against the special counsel's...

The novel coronavirus has destroyed lives and livelihoods in both the United States and China. But instead of bonding the two nations together to fight the pandemic, it has sent their already strained relations on a rapid downward spiral — and fanned the flames of a potentially dangerous strain of nationalism. China has been criticized at home and abroad over its handling of the virus, especially during the initial outbreak. Pushing back such criticism with increasingly fierce rhetoric, Beijing says it is merely “responding” to false accusations, particularly from the US. In March, as the pandemic raged across the globe, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian...
