China pushes back against US claims that coronavirus originated from Wuhan lab US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said Sunday in an interview with ABC that there was "enormous evidence" Covid-19 originated in a laboratory in the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the outbreak was first detected last December. He did not provide details to support the claim. Responding to Pompeo's comments, China's state owned Global Times newspaper said in an editorial Monday that the former CIA director had "stunned the world with groundless accusations." "Since Pompeo said his claims are supported by 'enormous evidence,' then he should present this so-called evidence to the world, and especially to the American public who he continually tries to fool," the editorial said. "The truth is that Pompeo does not have any evidence, and during Sunday's interview, he was bluffing." https://www.cnn.com/2020/05/04/asia/china-us-coronavirus-spat-intl-hnk/index.html

Bret Baier and Martha MacCallum (born in Buffalo,NY) always do a good job. They don't trigger Trump to go off the rails and stay calm. Chris Wallace also does a good job at that network.

Cuomo, who previously blasted Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell's suggestion that states like New York should be able to declare bankruptcy if financially crippled by the crisis, took fresh aim at Florida Senator Rick Scott. Scott, also a Republican, on Monday was quoted as lamenting the idea that "we're supposed to go bail them out". As part of his daily slide presentation Cuomo prepared one showing that Florida receives $30 billion more than it gives to the federal government on annual basis, while Kentucky, home to McConnell, is a net recipient of $37 billion in funds. New York, in contrast, puts in $29 billion more annually than it gets back in federal assistance, Cuomo said. "Who is we and who is them?" Cuomo asked rhetorically at the briefing. "New York state bails them out every year." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/new-york-governor-takes-aim-at-florida-senator-scott-over-bailout-comments/ar-BB13nF3j?li=BBnb7Kz For a Florida Senator against disaster aid for states like NY is hypocrisy . Where does federal aid go for hurricanes , tornadoes , floods is that a bailout ? Should states hit by those disasters declare bankruptcy ?

This from S Korea In other words, the new research suggests that if a patient is re-diagnosed with COVID-19 after recovering, it's unlikely he or she will be able to infect others.

Until we have that key piece of data, the jury is still out on whether mass immunity is possible. https://abcnews.go.com/Health/south-korean-studies-suggest-antibodies-protect-covid-19/story?id=70312111

No evidence" that recovered COVID-19 patients cannot be reinfected: WHO GENEVA (Reuters) - The World Health Organization (WHO) said on Saturday that there was currently “no evidence” that people who have recovered from COVID-19 and have antibodies are protected from a second coronavirus infection. In a scientific brief, the United Nations agency warned governments against issuing “immunity passports” or “risk-free certificates” to people who have been infected as their accuracy could not be guaranteed. Most studies have shown that people who have recovered from infection have antibodies to the virus, the WHO said. However, some of them have very low levels of neutralizing antibodies in their blood, “suggesting that cellular immunity may also be critical for recovery”, it added. https://www.reuters.com/article/us-health-coronavirus-who/no-evidence-that-recovered-covid-19-patients-cannot-be-reinfected-who-idUSKCN2270FB This may explain why some do get reinfected
