Coronavirus in the White House; Nurses on the front line Coronavirus latest news

The coronavirus has reached the US White House. People working with US President Donald Trump have been instructed to wear face masks, after two aides tested positive for COVID-19. The virus has so far killed more than 80,000 people in the US. The new infections at the White House come as the President pressures state governors to relax pandemic restrictions. On International Nurses' Day, and the 200th birthday of Florence Nightingale, nurses around the world find themselves on the front lines of the battle against COVID-19. And from these front lines, many of them are pleading for more protective gear.

'You're A Terrible Reporter!' Trump Rages At NBC's Peter Alexander In Bonkers Press Conference (video)

Donald Trump held another one of his daily coronavirus press conferences where the White House staff tell the Dear Leader how amazing he is on live television. It also gives Trump a chance to rage at the press live, one of his favorite pastimes.

Today, NBC's Peter Alexander actually gave Donald Trump a chance to show a tiny bit of empathy, asking him the most simple question possible: There are 200 dead, 14,000 who are sick, and millions who are scared right now. What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?"

The problem with Alexander's question was that it came with some unhappy facts about infections and death rates, right after Trump was challenged on his happy talk about antimalarials treating the virus.

How Trump wins press conferences

The White House press conference has always been a frustrating spectacle, with reporters trying to pry information from government officials who do everything in their power to avoid sharing too much information. But these press conferences are typically appreciated because of their symbolic value -- they reaffirm the democratic idea that the government must answer to the people.

Trump travel ban: White House vows to overturn 'outrageous' court block

Trump travel ban temporarily blocked nationwide

Department of Justice won't rule tonight

The Department of Justice has reportedly said it will not act tonight to counter the Washington state court ruling, so there won’t be any legal challenge until Saturday at the latest. It’s unclear on what grounds the justice department might appeal the ruling.

The ruling in Washington has created confusion about travellers about which ruling applies to them. The US Customs & Border Protection agency told American airlines that they can once again board travellers who had been barred by an executive order last week. But it’s unclear what it means as yet to travellers who are stuck overseas.

Chinese Citizens Petition White House for Redress of Grievances

The Obama administration set up a web site called We The People which allows American's to petition the White House over concerns they about various policies.  One of the unintended consequences has been the plethora of petitions from people living outside the U.S.   many of which have come from China where its citizens were once able to petition Beijing  for redress of their problems however that has changed with most of those petitions ignored or the petitioners harassed or thrown into jail .

It has rapidly become popular in China, where the tightly controlled media and Internet put politically sensitive topics off limits. People who bring their grievances to the central government as petitioners are routinely harassed, beaten and sent to labor camps as troublemakers — or locked up in what are known as "black jails" in a kind of extralegal detention.
Enthusiasm for the White House site shows the lack of avenues at home to vent frustration, said David Zweig, professor of social science at Hong Kong University of Science and Technology.
"There is no mechanism for the Chinese citizens to really express their views. It's really as simple as that," Zweig said. "The citizens are looking for any strategies to make their grievances known."
It started with the case of Zhu Ling, a woman who was paralyzed for life from thallium poisoning during her third year at Tsinghua University in Beijing. No one was held responsible for the crime, and the cold case resurfaced in April in the wake of another poisoning at Fudan University. The Chinese public demanded an investigation into one of Zhu's roommates — who had long been considered a suspect. They questioned whether the original investigation was squashed because of her family's political ties.
Before there was any satisfactory answer, Chinese censors began to remove posts and shush online commentators, effectively ending the discussion. But then someone started the petition on the White House page early this month, and by last Monday it had garnered more than 100,000 signatures in about three days. Since then, about a dozen more China-related petitions have appeared.
