The coronavirus HITS MEGACITY LAGOS that’s in Nigeria. (AFP via Yahoo news). 20 million people there. Reportedly the infected person was an Italian citizen who flew in from Milan, at the heart of Europe's largest outbreak, earlier this week. THANKS A LOT, ITALIANS! BUT I DO LIKE PIZZA. Prior to the case in Nigeria, there had been just two cases on the continent -- in Egypt and Algeria. THE WHITER PARTS OF AFRICA. Nigeria, Africa's most populous country with some 190 million people, is viewed as one of the world's most vulnerable to the spread of the virus given its weak health system and high population density.
Worried inhabitants of Lagos, a city that was hit by the West African Ebola epidemic in 2014 (WHOA), were already flocking to pharmacies Friday morning in search of hand sanitiser and masks. One place sold out temporarily.
SPIES MONITOR INDIA — that’s U.S. spies (Reuters) — there were concerns about how India would cope with a widespread outbreak, given India’s dense population. U.S. so-called intelligence agencies are also focusing on Iran, where the country’s deputy health minister has fallen ill during a worsening outbreak. U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said on Tuesday the United States was “deeply concerned” Tehran may have covered up details about the spread of coronavirus.

She was NOT TESTED FOR DAYS… the CDC took 4 days to test her for coronavirus. (CNN) Of the 60 confirmed US cases, 42 are former passengers of the Diamond Princess cruise ship that docked in Japan after an outbreak and quarantine; three were repatriated from Wuhan, China, and the other 14 were patients who had recently been to China or were the spouses of someone who had returned from the country.

(Drudge) A DOG TESTS POSITIVE... for the coronavirus and quarantined in Hong Kong ‘sparking fears pooches could spread the killer bug’ (The Sun). The owner of the dog, Yvonne Chow Hau Yee, who lives in Hong Kong with her beloved Pomeranian, tested her pet pooch after being diagnosed with COVID-19. Infected numbers topped 82,000 worldwide.
Pets face quarantine... in Hong Kong (AFP and Yahoo), with one dog already in isolation for 14 days as a precaution but has no “relevant symptoms.” "Nasal and oral cavity samples tested weak positive for COVID-19," a government spokesman said without explaining why they tested the animal in the first place. The animal was collected from the owner's home on Wednesday after the 60-year-old woman was diagnosed with the contagion and placed in a hospital isolation ward. There is no evidence domestic animals such as dogs and cats can catch the virus or transmit it to humans but the department said all pets of infected people should be quarantined and tested for the virus for 14 days.
Swiss govt bans all events over 1,000 people... SOUNDS SMART I GUESS! (MarketWatch) For events with fewer than 1,000 people, organizers “must carry out a risk assessment in conjunction with... authorities to decide whether or not the event can be held,” the government said. Switzerland has reported 15 confirmed cases of the new coronavirus. It borders northern Italy, which has seen the largest cluster of cases in Europe.
Could hit 80% of Brits in 'worst case scenario'... that’d be more than 50M people in the UK, and possibly killing up to 500,000 — but that’d be a doomsday scenario.
The disease Infected the Iranian Vice President, Killed the Iranian Ambassador To the Vatican... (Zero Hedge). WHOA. SMH WHAT A MESS.
14% of patients who recover -- test positive again... and nobody knows why (Daily Star) — that’s in China’s Guangdong province. This comes after Japan reported that a female tour-bus guide aged in her 40s had tested positive for the COVID-19 virus for a second time in Osaka. Normally, when you overcome a virus you gain immunity for a while afterwards which is why it is so rare for children to get chickenpox twice.
(Drudge) ISRAEL says they’ll have a Vaccine in weeks... GOTTA LOVE THE JEWS! (J Post) Once the vaccine is developed, it will take at least 90 days to complete the regulatory process and potentially more to enter the marketplace. Science and Technology Minister Ofir Akunis said, “Congratulations to MIGAL [The Galilee Research Institute] on this exciting breakthrough.” WE SHALL SEE!
For the past four years, a team of MIGAL scientists has been developing a vaccine against infectious bronchitis virus (IBV), which causes a bronchial disease affecting poultry.
