Bloomberg | Vast Locust Swarm Casts Shadow Over East African Food Security | 24-01-20
— "The worst desert-locust plague in Kenya in 70 years is threatening to spread further into East Africa, jeopardizing food security.

Swarms of the insects are already devouring crops and pasture in Ethiopia and Somalia, and they’re breeding in Djibouti, Eritrea and Sudan -- all areas that are prone to drought and food shortages.

There’s a high risk they may soon enter northeast Uganda and southeast South Sudan, the United Nations’ Food and Agriculture Organization said Friday"

Zerohedge | CDC Says 110 Suspected Coronavirus Cases Identified In US; Public Health Risk Remains "Low" | 27-01-20
— "Dr. Nancy Messonnier, the Director of the Center for the National Center for Immunization and Respiratory Diseases (NCIRD), spoke on behalf of the CDC.

During the press conference, she said that the US had identified 110 people who are under observation and being tested for the virus. While 5 cases have already been identified in the US, another 32 have definitively tested negative.

Right now, the CDC is focused on providing tests to "priority" states (presumably, Cali, Washington, Arizona and Illinois, the states where cases have been confirmed). But soon they will expand the program to supply governments in need."
