The Washington Post
U.S. Navy Capt. Brett Crozier has turned into something of a martyr for sailors on a virus-stricken aircraft carrier in Guam. A leaked letter Crozier wrote accused his commanders of “failing to properly take care of our most trusted asset — our sailors” by refusing to evacuate the ship. The Navy subsequently relieved the captain of his command, prompting hundreds of sailors to fill the deck and chant: “Captain Crozier!”

Here’s what our science writer Ed Yong reported about the efficacy of such masks yesterday:
A few studies suggest that homemade cloth masks are less effective than proper medical ones, but are still better than nothing. In one experiment, a surgical mask filtered 89 percent of viral particles from the air, a tea towel blocked 72 percent, and a cotton T-shirt blocked 50 percent. … If people use makeshift masks, they should thoroughly wash them afterward. And most of all, they should remember that homemade masks are not fully protective.

What Italian Pediatricians Can Tell Us
https://www.nytimes.com/2020/04/02/well/family/coronavirus-pediatricians-Italy-children-families.html?algo=identity&fellback=false&imp_id=3117216&imp_id=91392111&action=click&module=Science%20%20Technology&pgtype=Homepage
As most pediatric practices are now doing here in the United States, they are trying to keep children out of medical offices and clinics. Essential vaccines are still being given (nobody wants to see one pandemic complicated by the emergence of other infections that could have been prevented).
“You have to talk to children, you cannot leave children with their fears,” he said. “It’s better to talk rather than avoid talking.”
