Police in China's virus epicentre Wuhan acted "inappropriately" by punishing a doctor who blew the whistle on the outbreak that has now killed more than 9,000 worldwide, a Chinese government investigation found Thursday. Li Wenliang, one of a group of doctors in Wuhan who shared posts on social media warning of a SARS-like virus spreading in the city in December, was reprimanded by police for sharing the information and made to sign a statement agreeing not to commit any more "law-breaking actions." Li's death from the virus in February prompted a national outpouring of grief as well as anger at the government's handling of the crisis, and bold demands for freedom of speech. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2UnRCg3 via Latest News

Image
(Bloomberg) -- Senate Republicans are looking to a 2008 tax rebate program as the template to deliver direct payments to individuals intended to boost consumer spending as economic activity contracts as a result of the coronavirus pandemic.The Senate is looking to quickly draft and pass legislation that could provide swift relief to businesses and individuals struggling as a result of businesses closing, schools shuttering and travel grinding to a halt. White House officials have said direct payments to Americans should be part of the next round of fiscal stimulus that could cost as much as $1.3 trillion.“Some of the ideas we are working on are things that there’s sort of a formula or template for,“ Senator John Thune, the No. 2 Senate Republican, said Wednesday. “With the checks, we have the 2008 experience. And so there are sort of tried-and-true ways to do this.”Thune reiterated that Thursday morning on Fox & Friends, saying he wanted to get the money “out quickly in the form of

Britney Ujlaky picked flowers for friends if they’d had a bad day. She loved listening to any music she could dance to, and dreamed of becoming a makeup artist. In her rural Nevada community, the 16-year-old volunteered at the 2U Ranch, riding and grooming horses, and helping with cattle drives.“She had the personality you can’t really forget—she was so goofy and fun,” said one close friend, Cheyenne Fry, 18. “You would be having the worst day of your life, but her laugh would put you in a good mood.” Britney often talked about wanting to someday win the title of local Rodeo Queen, Fry said.“She was always helping people out,” Fry told The Daily Beast. “If it was house-sitting, babysitting, grooming their horses.
