出门exercise，路上exerciser一一俩俩，尽量保持社交距离。远远见到俺的朋友在与朋友的朋友聊天，目测社交距离六至八米，互相发射的微粒正好封住俺的去路，俺也没好意思叫人家暂停贵口放行，作了个手势表示俺要硬闯了，还好，他们同时停止发射，俺快步通过，回身一拱手，谢了，飘然而去。
昨天才看到文章讨论社交距离度量，人家今天就已经践行了。惭愧。

It found the virus didn’t survive more than three hours on printing and tissue paper, but on smoother surfaces, like glass and banknotes, it survived up until the fourth day.

该干嘛干嘛，能证明自己不给政府添堵，凭良心，做个好公民就行。
专家看法：
Experts say the Swedish Government is operating on the basis that it's beyond the capabilities of most societies to stop the spread of the virus without a vaccine.
瑞典政府措施基于：没有疫苗，大多数社会没有能力阻止病毒的传播。
"And that worries me because if you have a strategy where you're pursuing the spread of the virus to reach herd immunity, which some would argue Sweden is doing, then a very important part of that strategy has to be to protect the vulnerable to prevent them from getting infected.
专家担心并认为，这个策略相当于扩散病毒以达群体免疫，如此，则应有相应的措施保障弱势群体不被感染。

Amidst a Pandemic, Donald Trump Signs Order to Mine on the Moon
Why does President Trump want to mine on the Moon?
为什么新冠未灭，特朗普又急着想上月亮掘金呢？

On the anniversary of Yuri Gagarin's (and humankind's) first journey into space, the US Executive Order, stipulating that Americans should have the right use the resources of space, rings outrageous.
特朗普在加加林首次太空旅行日签署总统令规定美国人有权开采外太空资源

The Executive Order reads that Americans “should have the right to engage in commercial exploration, recovery, and use of resources in outer space, consistent with applicable law. Outer space is a legally and physically unique domain of human activity, and the United States does not view it as a global commons.”  
美国不视太空为全球公共领域。

Space powers have generally been uncomfortable with idea of space as a global common because this was thought to preclude mining and extracting resources from space.
太空强国通常对将太空列为全球公共领域感到不满，因为这样会阻止他们开采和提取太空资源。
This was a major reason why the US and many other spacefaring nations such as the Soviet Union/Russia, China and Japan and even many of the countries making up the European space consortium refused to sign the Moon treaty.  India is the only space power that has signed the treaty, though New Delhi has not yet ratified it.

Pandemic news risks Aussies turning off
But constant coverage of the coronavirus pandemic could instead be leaving them feeling anxious and fearful.
However, the risk of people developing fatigue and turning away from news altogether could be even more dangerous, says Prof Sadler.
"In some ways, having no information and not getting good updates from reliable sources would probably give people more anxiety."
换台，关机，不看了。长时间被疫情新闻包围导致心理紧张恐惧。
但是，人们因新闻疲劳与不再关心新闻所产生的风险实际上会更大。从某种意义上说，失去可靠的信息来源会引起更严重的焦虑。

怎么办，专家建议：
"People need to get the information then switch it off, not just continuing to monitor it because all that will do is to raise people's anxiety."
获取必要信息后关机，不要穷追不舍，以免为情所困。

还是仰望仰明兄弟高见：
不再经常上网关心病毒了，一天几个小时看手机，眼睛累。

俺是有闲，并寄学习于新闻穷追不舍中。不过也要有点节制，眼睛累了，不看。

澳洲总理 vs 州长们
总理说，学校开门
Mr Morrison made a direct appeal to teachers to reopen schools after the Easter break
The Federal Government's position has been the same from day one: schools are safe to open and they don't want a single child's education risked.
州长们说，远程上课
State governments have told parents to keep their kids home where possible and have rushed to introduce remote learning.
The states — led by NSW Premier Gladys Berejiklian and Victoria's Premier Daniel Andrews — firmly undercut it.


美国总统 vs 州长们
总统说：总统号令天下。
He claimed powers never envisioned by the Constitution and insisted his "authority is total" to order states and cities to get moving again to break out of the frozen economy.
"The President of the United States calls the shots," Trump said.
州长们说：我们不需主皇帝。
"We don't have a king. We have an elected president," Cuomo said
"The Constitution clearly says the powers that are not specifically listed for the federal government are reserved for the states, and the bounds between federal and state authority are central to the Constitution -- one of the great balances of power."

Coronavirus schools debate continues, as Morrison says education 'hangs in the balance'
Seated in the Prime Minister's office with the Australian flag behind him, it was not the teachers or families mentioned in his video that Scott Morrison needed to convince.
As he stared down the barrel of the camera on Wednesday morning appealing for schools to remain open, some — including the state education ministers — likely saw something else: an attempt to use the bully pulpit of the Prime Minister's office to have them fall in line.
