21 US states, on corona hotspots list, but 34 on NY Cuomo quarantine.
Masks now recommended even at home.
Trump wonders aloud why no one likes him. Jr's acct suspended for 24 hrs for hydroxychloroquine falsehoods.
Billionaires testify today.
We
live in interesting times. I once asked Chief Justice U Myint Thein
about his time when PRC was being formed. He was there as U Nu's
ambassador.
That was the answer he gave me.

NIH is calling for corona vaccine volunteers--
I saw it on NBC Nightly news.
Pl look at National Institutes of Health website for more info.
I wouldn't recommend it for seniors or children though. Besides, children are below the age of informed consent.
One entire family volunteered, and volunteers were interviewed on NBC.
They have now moved to human trials, already been through that stage in UK.
This
reminds me of my mother who was born around WW I. She caught smallpox
as an infant, and her next elder sister died. She said the vaccine has
already been discovered, but was not yet available in Burma/Asia.
I know of a family who were ordering polio vaccines from overseas in 1970s, and their son got polio before the vaccine arrived.
My aunt and my husband's employers helped me get polio vaccines for my sons. It has to be refrigerated and taken orally.

U2's song Walk On, Originally dedicated to Aung San Suu Kyi, now to Rohingya.
Personally I don't think she's a racist, but she's afraid of the military.
Stuck between a rock and a hard place, she chose the rock.

7th july, 1962, on this day in Rangoon, Burma --
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1962_Rangoon_University_protests
Ne Win's army shot at university students with live ammo for the very first, but not the last time.
Scenes from 1962 on Rangoon Univ campus are reconstructed fictionally in my novel Wolf.
Among the real people that play cameo roles in my
novel as Daw Aung San Suu Kyi, junta advisor the Soviet trained cadre Ko
Ko Maung (U Chit Hlaing), Ne Win (of course) and the late (Prince) Chao
Tzang Yawngwe (Eugene Thaike) who was a university student in 1962.
The hero of my novel Mothi Awegoke "August" also
traverses the 1967 anti-Chinese (really rice) riots instigated by NW (I
heard it from a man who "copied stone inscriptions" that my father
brought from Bagan, and my mother allowed to live in a free-standing
small cottage in our garden.) So there's no question of its truth
value. This man, U Aung Myat Kyaw, became a top BSPP party cadre, so
there is no question of the authenticity of what he saw. He told us the
same evening as soon as he got back.

Landslide at Hpakant jade mines, Burma.
Hpakant is notorious for totally unregulated mining, the miners virtual slaves addicted to heroin.
According
to a democracy advocate who had been there, at night the sound tracks
fr porn flicks are broadcast from giant loudspeakers.
In my novel Wolf, a mining student is sent to the mines.
The deputy PM of the Burmese exile govt based in DC was from the mine town, Mogok.
He told me in 2009, "Other than the gem trade, there's nothing to do in Mogok, so the people are suffering greatly."
The junta took over the mines at least since the mid-1970s.
That's why US at one time, due to activism by US Campaign for Burma, passed the Jade Act.
I don't know if it is still in force.
One Burma expert has said, "Well, gems, it's easy to move them around the deck."
If
you read of all the major gems of the world, for instance Marie
Antoinette's ear rings, now in the Smithsonian, they are all smeared
with major blood and power lust.
That's why I prefer arts and crafts to gemstones.
