NYT: Mr. Trump turned to Mr. Giuliani earlier on Friday in reaction to the latest setback he faced in court, this one relating to votes in Maricopa County, Arizona… A half-dozen other Trump advisers have described Mr. Giuliani’s efforts as counterproductive and said that he was giving the president unwarranted optimism about what could happen… In an Oval Office meeting with aides on Thursday, Mr. Trump put Mr. Giuliani on speakerphone so the others could hear him. He angrily accused the aides of not telling the president the truthGiuliani’s conspiracy-riddled rant at Four Seasons Total Landscaping was so disastrous that it “scared off many of the lawyers” recruited to argue election-related lawsuits. Politico: “Campaign officials described the episode as disastrous...there are widespread concerns within Trumpworld and GOP circles that Giuliani’s antics are thwarting the president’s legal machinery from within.”
WaPo: Sandoval is part of a hastily convened team led by Matthew Braynard, a data specialist who worked on Trump’s 2016 campaign. Another participant is Thomas Baptiste, an adviser to the deputy secretary of the Interior Department who also took a leave to work on the project. Braynard said in an interview that several other government officials on leave are also assisting the effort, but he declined to identify them.Media’s role:
Her ascertainment is the legally necessary precursor to the government’s assistance to the Biden-Harris Presidential Transition Team. It releases $6.3 million dollars to the team, which is funded by public and private money; a loan of expanded federal office space and equipment; access to government agencies that will begin sharing information and records about ongoing activities, plans and vulnerabilities; national security briefings for the president; and other support.
The rules under development include policies that the incoming Biden administration would probably oppose, such as new caps on the length of foreign student visas; restrictions on the Environmental Protection Agency’s use of scientific research; limits on the EPA’s consideration of the benefits of regulating air pollutants; and a change that would make it easier for companies to treat workers as independent contractors, rather than employees with more robust wage protections.Last week, both Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said they’re preparing for a second Trump term. “There will be a smooth transition to a second Trump administration,” Pompeo said during a news conference Tuesday afternoon (clip). Pompeo then doubled down on Fox News (clip). “We are moving forward here at the White House under the assumption there will be a second Trump term,” Navarro said on Fox Business Friday (clip).
The judge described an illegitimate shuffling of leadership chairs at the Department of Homeland Security, the agency responsible for immigration enforcement, for the predicament of Wolf's leadership and that of his predecessor, Kevin McAleenan.
"Based on the plain text of the operative order of succession," Garaufis wrote in the Saturday ruling, "neither Mr. McAleenan nor, in turn, Mr. Wolf, possessed statutory authority to serve as Acting Secretary. Therefore the Wolf Memorandum was not an exercise of legal authority."

What you can do to protect yourself and the people around you:Social Distancing
thoroughly wash your hands
no handshakes
cough/sneeze into tissue or elbow
Stay a yuh yaad
Sanitizing vs Soaponly use sanitizer if no soap is available. Here's why:While alcohol based solutions work, soap is much more effective and thus safer. This is due to what the virus is. A virus consists of three key components: RNA (ribonucleic acid), proteins and lipids. While the RNA contains the dangerous 'code' that makes us ill, the proteins are used for docking and lipids are what shield the RNA. Soap molecules dock onto the virus' protein and effectively dismantles its shield of lipids. Because this does not happen instantly but takes time, you should soap your hands for about twenty seconds (sing the Happy Birthday song twice). explanation video with animations Understanding the Threat:Well-researched Explanation by Kurzgesagt (9min)Original: Flattening the Curve In order to make sure people can get medical treatment despite the crisis, everybody has to reduce their social needs. In most countries, it is no longer a question of if but when you get the virus. As such, the healthcare system must not be overwhelmed. It is thus of the highest importance that the virus is being slowed down. People who are injured in accidents, people who need emergency treatment and so on depend on it. Based on studies we know that: The virus attacks every age group similarly but remains statistically more likely asymptomatic for younger ones. The pivotal point of it is that they act as transmitters nonetheless. This is why many countries shut down their schools. source These 15% will exponentially grow, and they will grow quickly. A look at other countries proves precisely that. How well the country can respond can be measured with death rates. T&T's death rate is currently 6%. This is extremely high for its spread. Incubation Period: From transmission to outbreak, median outbreak time is about 5 days. "(...) 97.5% of people who develop symptoms will do so within 11.5 days of infection (source). This means, people can spread the virus for about 5 to 12 days without even knowing they have the virus themselves because they are not showing symptoms yet.
Prevention is the most important action you can take to protect yourself and your family from getting COVID-19. The Ministry of Health urges the population to: It is crucial that each and everyone does more Social distancing (SD) should be more emphasized by MoH. To socially distance means to ensure there is enough physical distance between individuals. This includes to avoid hugging, hand-shaking, fist-bumping, kissing, sharing drinks, joints and so on. This is based on the idea that the virus transmits through droplets which can travel through the air. These droplets are not only coughed out, but spread through breathing too. (Through coughing, the droplets can travel up to 8m/27feet). SD further means to reduce individual social mobility. Some countries enforce lock-downs to ensure people stop mingling among various friend circles. Others rely on each and everyone's emancipation to do the right thing. Reducing social mobility through SD Avoiding a total Shutdown Trinidad & Tobago is the wealthiest Caribbean country. But with just 22bn GDP, its means to financially help are much more limited than economically larger countries around the globe. It is thus of utmost importance for the country, to end this smoothly and quickly. Early reaction and thorough prevention is absolutely crucial for it to be over more quickly. Be the example. Break the chain of transmission through socializing physically. Stay at home.
