The events get hotter by the hour. For this Breaking News, we have three topics, and as it is going, we could have more until the end of the day…

In an unprecedented move so far, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that all travel from Europe to the United States will be temporarily halted for a period of 30 days (effective from Friday midnight), due to abysmal reaction of EU regarding the spread of #coronavirus.

Another wave of hysteria about the ‘exponential’ growth of the coronavirus infected in EU, and panic reactions of a certain leaders…

…have brought EU to another point of possible dissolution: The facts show that Brussels bureaucracy cannot coordinate anything, even the most important job of curbing the contagion. The fact is they cannot decide what are they going to do with Italy — help or isolate it! And Italy is now getting humanitarian aid from China (a million face masks, gloves, protective suits, insulators, expert teams…) and Russia!

He (or she) was removed from the noose of a bedsheet in the last moment. Fortunately, there were no serious consequences. Why we must have doubts?
