First Confirmed Case of Coronavirus in Costa Rica!
An American woman who lives in New York with her husband is the first case of Covid-19 in Costa Rica. Her husband had been in contact with confirmed cases in New York before they traveled to sunny Costa Rica on March 1st. They visited Puntarenas province before she showed symptoms. The American Embassy has been contacted by the Ministry of Health and the couple has been isolated in an undisclosed location in San José province for prevention. The Ministry is currently waiting for the husband's test results. It is highly probable he might have contracted the coronavirus as the Minister had stated during the press conference.
Do not blame the husband! His acquaintances had not tested positive before they left the USA so he had no way to suspect something was going wrong with any of them.
By the way, the Ministry of Health is looking for 5 people the couple had met during their visit.

The Costa Rican government was slightly alarmed after they had received reports from fellow Costa Ricans that were visiting Guatemala who stated that they found it more difficult to enter the Central American country and visit their tourist traps, err, nice tourist attractions. Their Guatemalan counterpart disregarded the claims and said their measures had a minimal impact on the tourists' travel experience for they only needed to pass a temperature test and fill a short form.

165 cases approximately are under study because of a doctor that traveled to Panamanian international airport to take his aunt back home or just met her there by chance according to some versions. The fact is that he went to work and kept contact with lots of people including patients and medical staff. Some say he might have infected lab technicians as well.

Hey, guys. Just so ya know, Dr. Fauci said that Trump's Travel Ban saved a lot of concern and suffering. And who is he? Anthony Fauci, M.D. is the head of the NIAID (National Institute of Allergy and Infectiious Diseases). In essence, he said Trump's travel ban to China did the trick.
So what does that mean? It appears his rival political party wants to undo any travel bans! WHA? Yes, right now the GOP leaders want to halt this anti-Travel Ban bill because of the CoronaVirus. Seriously, if halting travel works, what are they thinking? Like... let travel back and forth between China and the US while infections are still high?
Meanwhile, it appears that Forrest Gump got infected.

Curiously, their president is taking measures that make no sense. They've got no single case, yet.
More than 100,000 have fled Nicaragua crisis: UN
https://ticotimes.net/2020/03/10/more-th...-crisis-un
Who would expect that Nicaraguans would love to stay in their own country instead of fleeing away? Be sure not even Ortega and his allies would ever do that.
As a very short editorial I gotta say I don't expect Ortega to EVER admit they've got confirmed cases unless they can use it to blame the USA for it.

E3 canceled amid coronavirus spread
The world's biggest gaming convention will be shelved for 2020. Microsoft and Ubisoft will showcase their games online instead.

Yeah, if you had plans to visit the world's largest videogame convention, you better forget about it.
A Sharkish Section Finally
Hammerhead sharks in Galapagos marked to study route through the Pacific
https://ticotimes.net/2020/03/11/hammerh...he-pacific
Tico Times Wrote:The Migramar acoustic marks will help “collect information on the migratory patterns of this species along the Eastern Pacific, when sharks pass through the areas where the receivers are installed,” the park said in a statement.
The network of receivers extends from the United States to Chile, and passes through protected areas of Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia. The Ocean Blue Tree organization also participated in the shark identification work. Somehow I feel like they were playing Big Brother with my fellow sharks.

Edit Reason: Trudeau's fears US Travel Ban on Schengen Zone

Brazilian Official Who Met With Trump Tests Positive For Coronavirus
https://www.forbes.com/sites/rachelsandl...ronavirus/
So could it be that Trump is a super spreader because he shows no visible symptoms!?
Or does it mean that the Brazillian government spokesman is spreading it!?
By the way, they now suspect that the Brazillian president Jair Bolsonaro might be infected...
Trump ‘Not Concerned’ About Bolsonaro Aide Who Tested Positive For Coronavirus
https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/trump...oronavirus
OK, you know him very well by now. You can't make him worry about such stuff.
I've been talking about Trump and forgot to take a look at his Northern neighbor...
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau self-isolating over coronavirus fears
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51860702
BBC Wrote:Mr Trudeau's wife, Sophie Gregoire-Trudeau, began to show mild symptoms of illness late on Wednesday after a speaking engagement in the UK.
The couple are staying home until the tests results are returned. Mr Trudeau is not exhibiting any symptoms.
Some Canadian Update
The wife of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau tested positive for the coronavirus, according to reports
https://www.businessinsider.com/canadian...rus-2020-3
Well, we knew it was a possibility from the very beginning... Let's hope it'll be a case with mild symptoms.
Curiously the Prime Minister's Office doesn't want Trudeau to be tested for "he's not showing any symptoms." I guess he just needs to stay at home till she sheds the virus completely.
Spanish Soccer Suspended As Real Madrid Team Quarantined Due To Coronavirus; Major Tournaments Could Be Under Threat
https://deadline.com/2020/03/soccer-tour...202880748/
Nope, there won't be any match for the next two weeks, goalies and strikers!
You're asking me why!? Well, a player was confirmed as a positive Covid-19 case... But he's a basketball player...
Costa Rica announces new measures to slow spread of coronavirus
https://ticotimes.net/2020/03/12/costa-r...oronavirus
The Minister of Health of Costa Rica Salas confirmed the 23rd case, a local health care worker.
International business travel for public workers has been suspended.
Nope, Costa Rica has not and does not plan to close its borders! They remain open!
President Alvarado and Minister Salas are against taking measures that could paralyze the country.
All of the Japanese tourists that had been kept in quarantine have been released after testing negative for Covid-19.
Coronavirus: EU condemns Trump travel ban on 26 European countries
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51857462
Last night Trump announced he ordered a travel ban on the Schengen zone and some other European countries but didn't do the same with the United Kingdom. He blamed EU for not doing anything to prevent them from becoming hotspots of coronavirus transmission.
European ambassadors obviously disliked his latest measure.
Please check out their map showing what countries will be affected since Friday 13th... What a lovely date he has chosen here!
Coronavirus LATEST: Stockholm changes policy on testing for coronavirus
https://www.thelocal.se/20200310/timelin...-in-sweden
Terrible news if you were Swedish or were visiting Sweden from now on.
Stockholm is no longer testing all suspected coronavirus cases, only elderly people and patients in hospital will be tested for the coronavirus from now on.
OK, this time I DO agree with Trump on not letting Swedish tourists enter US territory at all. There's no way, under current circumstances, that people around them could stay safe if nobody could know in a timely fashion they've already contracted the virus. I do understand Sweden's situation kind of desperate but their new policy is dangerous indeed!
Mikel Arteta: Arsenal manager tests positive for coronavirus
https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/51865442
BBC Wrote:The Gunners have closed their training ground and club staff who had recent contact with Arteta will now self-isolate.
The Premier League will hold "an emergency club meeting" on Friday to discuss future fixtures.
