The Trump administration has upgraded its already dire warning to Americans against all international travel as the coronavirus outbreak spreads. At the same time, the State Department disclosed the first positive cornovirus test in a Washington-based employee and announced new restrictions the issuance of passports to U.S, citizens.The department on Thursday issued a new travel alert urging Americans not to go abroad under any circumstances and to return home if they are already abroad unless they plan to remain overseas. It then said passport applications for U.S. citizens at home and abroad would be severely curtailed.“The Department of State advises U.S. citizens to avoid all international travel due to the global impact of COVID-19,” it said in the new advice. “In countries where commercial departure options remain available, U.S. citizens who live in the United States should arrange for immediate return to the United States, unless they are prepared to remain abroad for an indefinite period. U.S. citizens who live abroad should avoid all international travel.”Until the upgrade, the department’s advice to U.S. citizens was to “reconsider” all international travel under what is known as a “level three” alert. The global “level four” warning was unprecedented as such alerts are generally reserved for specific countries embroiled in conflict, natural disasters or where Americans face specific risks.However, the upgrade will likely have little practical effect because it is not mandatory and there are now limited transportation options for international travel. The only way to ban Americans from going abroad would be to invalidate the use of U.S. passports for such travel, a bar that is currently in place only for North Korea.In addition, the main impact of State Department travel alerts is to cause insurance companies to increase premiums or cancel travel policies for group and individual tours, many of which had been scrapped even before the alert was raised to level three earlier this week.The department has already advised Americans that many U.S. embassies and consulates abroad are operating with reduced staff and hours due to the COVID-19 outbreak and that services for Americans in need of assistance are limited.Full Coverage: 2286

Thursday marks Pi Day, otherwise known as 3.14, which marks the ratio of a circle's circumference to its diameter. While the average citizen can easily remember the 3.14 ratio, the exact ratio practically has an infinite amount of numbers. If you want a more precise pi ratio, it is 3.141592653589793238462643383279. How well do you think you could remember just those 30 digits? One man was able to remember the ratio of pi up to 70,000 decimal places. Rajveer Meena accomplished the feat on March 21, 2015 while wearing a blindfold. According to the Guinness Book of World Records, Meena's feat took nearly 10 hours to accomplish. According to Five-Thirty-Eight, there are now more than 22 trillion know digits to pi. According to Five-Thirty-Eight, it took a Dell computer nearly 105 days of computation to come up with the large number of digits. This is compared to just 2,000 known digits of pi in the mid-20th century. So how does one remember so many digits? Savant Daniel Tammet, who is able to remember pi's calculation to more than 20,000 digits, told David Letterman, "What I am doing is visualizing numbers." he said. "When you look at a number, you just see the numbers four and three. When I am looking at numbers, I am seeing different colors and shapes and textures. It is called 'synesthesia.' My brain is working in such a way I am looking and also experiencing color. It is two senses combined. "Having a more exact number of pi helps scientists at NASA conduct more precise experiments and calculations. Having more exact figures helps lend precision to projects such as landing rovers on Mars, sending spacecraft into deep space or tracking the movement of asteroids. To see many of the ways NASA uses pi, click 1746

This week, 120,000 people in northern California went without power. It was the latest round of precautionary outages by the state’s largest utility company. PG&E says the outages were necessary to prevent downed power lines from sparking more wildfires. Last month, more than 2.5 million Californians were in the dark due to preemptive blackouts.Now, state regulators are investigating whether the forced outages were warranted.“Some people in California in October were out for eleven days straight without electricity,” says Mark Toney Executive Director of TURN Utility Reform Network in California. “That is unheard of. Unprecedented.”Public utility companies are regulated state by state. There are no federal laws guaranteeing or giving residents the right to electricity and gas service. Generally, experts say in times of emergencies like hurricanes, earthquakes and wildfires, some utilities can pull the plug on services in the interest of public safety as was claimed in California.“In California, they’re only supposed to do it as a last resort,” says Toney. That’s not to say that customers don’t have any rights. In some colder places, it may be against the law for utilities to turn off electricity or gas if they are needed for heating between November 15th and March 15th even if the bills haven’t been paid. “People only have the rights that they fight for,” says Toney. “That’s how it’s always been.”Investigators in California are looking at whether PG&E properly balanced the need to provide reliable service with public safety.One thing consumer advocates recommend is getting familiar with the consumer utility bill of rights in your state and municipality. If service is shut-off improperly, they say to document financial losses and file claims against the utility companies or with the public utilities commission. 1861

The statistics around maternal mortality in the United States are startling. America has the highest maternal mortality rate out of any developed country in the world. Today, a woman in the U.S. is 50 percent more likely to die from giving birth to a child than her mother was, and if you are a woman of color you are 3 to 4 times more likely than that.At Rush University Hospital in Chicago, neonatal intensive care nurse and educator Christie Lawrence has dealt with maternal mortality both professionally and personally. “My cousin, Chante, she was a young healthy mother, 18 years old,” Lawrence says. “Actually, she had no risk factors that we knew of.” Ten years ago, Lawrence was at work when her cousin went into labor at another hospital. “I received a call to say, ‘Chante is in labor, we are going to have a baby today.’ Then, a couple of hours later, a turn of events,” she recalls. “Her mom is screaming, ‘I need you to get here quick! Something has gone terribly wrong.’” The healthy 18-year-old mom suddenly went into cardiac arrest while giving birth to her son, and she died. “It was very shocking, very shocking for my family to see that whole turn of events,” said Lawrence. “We were expecting everything to be normal.”Her cousin’s death was caused by medication that was administered to her the wrong way. When Chante went in labor, she was a first-time mom and had no access to transportation to the hospital, so an ambulance was called. The ambulance took her to a hospital that was different than the one she had been going to for care during her pregnancy. Lawrence believes that may have played into the quality of care her cousin received, and ultimately, the mistake that was made at the hospital. It all led to the death of Lawrence’s cousin, which she says was fully preventable. Unfortunately, Chante’s case isn’t unique. These kinds of mistakes are happening at an alarming rate across the country. According to a Center for Disease Control report published this year, 60 percent of all pregnancy-related deaths in this country are fully preventable. Hospitals and healthcare providers around the country are working to implement new procedures to reduce the maternal mortality rate. At Rush University, for example, it’s trying a new program that checks up on babies and new moms just three weeks after leaving the hospital. Typically, in the past, doctors recommended a three-week check-up that focused on the newborn. But with this new program called Rush Family Connect, a nurse will go to the parent’s home and give equal attention to mom. The hope is that any post-pregnancy complication can be caught early, since the top causes of maternal mortality are actually post-delivery complications. Additionally, this year, the Joint Commission has issued a new mandate and standard. By July 1, 2020, all hospitals must have life-saving medications immediately available and must plan rapid release of blood supplies for transfusions. Doctors and nurses at hospital maternity units must have training drills responding to a hemorrhage crisis, which is one of the top cases for fatal deliveries. While hospitals and healthcare providers work to reduce the dangers mothers are facing, Lawrence believes mother have some power over their outcomes. “Just being a great advocate for yourself is one of the biggest things that I would tell any new mom,” said Lawrence. “If you feel like something is not right, if you feel like something is wrong, make people listen to you. And if you feel like that person won’t listen to you, then you have to go up the chain of command in that system or you have to find someone who is willing to listen.”It’s advice Lawrence wishes she could go back in time and tell her cousin. 3754
