Coronavirus Live Updates: 1st Death Outside Epicenter Is Reported, but W.H.O. Doesn’t Declare Emergency Yet

The travel restrictions imposed on Wuhan were extended to at least four more cities. At least 18 people have died and more than 600 have been sickened by a mysterious illness, health officials said.

Avoid crowds.
A filter mask is not a bad idea.
This will be bad.

McConnell Prefers to Hold ’Em, but Also Knows When to Fold ’Em

The majority leader, facing defections in his own ranks, made a strategic retreat this week in an effort to retain his grip on the trial.

Happy talk.
We will soon know the facts.

The Upshot

What Polling Tells Us About Bernie Sanders’s Chances

He’s gaining, and he has some considerable advantages he lacked in 2016.

I am warned.

Amid Tight Security, Virginia Gun Rally Draws Thousands of Supporters

Some 22,000 people, many of them armed, flooded the streets around the State Capitol to protest gun control proposals from the new Democratic majority.

Take pictures, names and DNA if possible.
Law enforcement must act within the law.
Spitting and discarding trash outside the trashcans are good excuses.

ICE will want him.

Money that is not spent need not  be borrowed.
Issue the credit to all the states.

A New Face of White Supremacy: Plots Expose Danger of the ‘Base’

A secret domestic terrorism investigation revealed that the violent neo-Nazi group was recruiting cells across the United States.

Talking is allowed.  Marching is allowed.
Doing more than that can lead to physical restraint.
The F.B.I. should be taking notes.

Opinion

Mrs. Clinton, You Already Beat Bernie Sanders. Trump Is the Opponent Now.

The Democrats’ last standard-bearer won’t say she’ll commit to anyone who wins the nomination, disrupting party unity.

Bernie Sanders will not beat Trump.
He is a puritan and will not compromise where it would be less than a total win.

Harvey Weinstein’s Dark Days

As his trial begins, he’s hobbled and “terrified.” His accusers say he deserves his misfortune for his treatment of women.

Harvey Weinstein should have acted differently.
The "Kindly Ones" can have him.

Gay Men Are Dying From a Crisis We’re Not Talking About

No one’s really grappling with the meth disaster.

Addictions are not handled well.
