Updates

Today was an exceptionally slow news day. I have two updates, and I didn’t bother to save sources on either of them:

• The US has officially passed China in confirmed infections. Does the US have more infections than China? I believe this zero
• US and Canada are in talks about having the US military secure the northern border. It is unclear to me what the specifics of this are but the US/Can border is the longest (in terms of time) undefended (in terms of military) border in human history. If they’re actually doing that, that’s really big. I guess I’m definitely not going back to Canada any time soon
