Radiant Altruism in a Time of Uncertainty

Jennifer Haller discusses the reasons she volunteered to be one of the first human test subjects for the new COVID-19 vaccine on the NPR program Weekend Edition Saturday, which aired this morning.

Wednesday Weigh-In 20200316

Today's COVID-19 situation report from WHO can be found here: https://www.who.int/docs/default-source/coronaviruse/situation-reports/20200316-sitrep-56-covid-19.pdf

I wish they would include the total number of patients tested within each region. In USA as of yesterday, about 25000 tests were conducted so far, according to the CDC. Of those, about 3500, or 14%, were positive.
