Washington state choir practice deemed coronavirus 'superspreader event,' report says
A Washington state choir practice that saw one symptomatic person infect nearly 87 percent of those who attended, was officially deemed a "superspreader event," according to a report published on Tuesday.
Of the 61 Skagit Valley Chorale members who attended the 2 1/2 hour practice in Mount Vernon on March 10, the report found that 53 people became ill with COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus, while two later died. It was held nearly two weeks before the state's stay-at-home order.
“One individual present felt ill, not knowing what they had, and ended up infecting 52 other people,” said lead author Lea Hamner, calling the outbreak a tragedy.

5 hurt in shooting at Texas park where hundreds gathered
FORT WORTH, Texas -- Five people were shot and wounded during a party at a Texas park that drew about 600 people despite local guidelines discouraging large gatherings due to the coronavirus pandemic, police said.
The shootings happened Sunday night at Village Creek Park in Fort Worth, police said. Fort Worth Officer Buddy Calzada said fireworks were set off, and then witnesses reporting hearing about 30 rounds of gunfire, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported.
Two of the people who were shot were in critical condition and three suffered injuries that weren’t considered life-threatening, he said.
No arrests have been made.
The park was open to visitors but the city encouraged people to observe social distancing guidelines to avoid the spread of the coronavirus.
“We’ve tried to work with everybody to try not to cite them or ticket them, but ultimately people have a choice, and that’s just the choice they made tonight,” Calzada said. “Our job as the police is to investigate exactly what all took place here from beginning to end.”
Calzada said state and federal authorities are assisting in the investigation.

Biden's public health advisory committee repeatedly downplayed coronavirus threat
Joe Biden formed a Public Health Advisory Committee in March, saying that the Trump administration was "unprepared" for the coronavirus pandemic but that the former vice president's hand-picked panel of purported experts would offer more constructive ways to approach the crisis.
The panel, comprised of six doctors and former government officials, provides "science-based, expert advice regarding steps the campaign should take to minimize health risks for the candidate, staff, and supporters,” the Biden campaign has claimed. “The campaign’s top priority is and will continue to be the health and safety of the public.”
Statements reviewed by Fox News, however, show that several members of Biden's advisory committee haven't been consistent on the issue, and in many cases they downplayed the threat of the pandemic -- underscoring how fraught political attacks over the coronavirus can be.
"Joe Biden’s hand selected experts downplayed the threat of the coronavirus, compared it to the flu, said it would go away with warm weather, praised China’s transparency, and opposed President Trump’s travel restrictions on China and Europe," Matt Wolking, the Trump campaign's deputy communications director, told Fox News after this article was published. "There is no evidence Biden thought his own advisors were wrong, which explains why he continued to hold campaign rallies well into March. Now Biden pretends he sounded the alarm, which is just another lie in his decades-long record of dishonesty.”

McConnell blasts Dems for 'jaw-dropping hypocrisy' in response to Biden sex assault allegations
Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., expressed outrage on "The Daily Briefing" Thursday over what he called "jaw-dropping hypocrisy" by Democrats in their response to allegations of sexual assault against former vice president and presumptive Democratic nominee Joe Biden.
"Hypocrisy is not unusual in Washington, but this is jaw-dropping hypocrisy," said McConnell, who compared the allegations against Biden to those made against then-Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh in the fall of 2018.

Texas woman shoots her 2 children and mother in 'tragic' murder-suicide after losing custody, police say
A woman who shot her two children and her mother before shooting herself inside their San Antonio apartment had “very recently” lost custody of the kids, authorities said Monday.The father of the children called police Monday morning after seeing the bodies through a crack in the blinds from outside the apartment, San Antonio Police Chief William McManus told reporters at the scene. He had been trying to contact the children’s mother. “According to the father, she had lost custody of the children very, very, very recently and this was the terrible end results of that,” McManus said. “Tragic beyond words. Two little children, a grandmother and a mother.” While a motive was not immediately clear, police believe the 38-year-old woman shot her 68-year-old mother, 5-year-old daughter and 3-year-old son before shooting herself.Detectives were investigating how long the bodies had been in the apartment and what led to the shooting.It was unclear why the mother lost custody of the children. The father told police she had no history of violence. When asked whether the deaths might be related to stress during the coronavirusoutbreak, McManus immediately dismissed the link. He noted that police have dealt with instances of parents resorting to murder-suicide after losing custody of their children. https://www.foxnews.com/us/texas-woman-children-mother-murder-suicide

Trump said he takes no responsibility for any spike in people using disinfectants improperly
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump said Monday that he takes no responsibility for any spike in people using disinfectants improperly after dangerously suggesting last week that ingesting it could serve as a coronavirus treatment.
Asked about the increase during a White House news conference, Trump said: "I can't imagine why."When asked if he takes any responsibility for the spike, Trump answered: "No, I don't."
Last week,
Trump incorrectly suggested during a White House coronavirus briefing
that ingesting disinfectants or taking in sunlight could possibly be used to treat coronavirus patients.A Department of Homeland Security official was discussing experiments where disinfectants like bleach and isopropyl alcohol quickly killed the virus on nonporous surfaces. Trump then mused about whether disinfectants could be used to treat the virus in humans -- asking whether there is "a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning."
It prompted cleaning product companies and state health officials to issue warnings about the dangers of their ingestion. A day after Trump's statement, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a
reminder
on using household disinfectants properly.Trump later falsely
claimed that he was being sarcastic
and that he was prompting officials to look into the effect of disinfectant on hands -- not through ingestion or injection.Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan, a Republican, said Sunday
his state fielded hundreds of calls
from people across his state asking whether injecting or ingesting disinfectants was an effective way to combat coronavirus."I think it is critical that the President of the United States, when people are really scared and in the middle of this worldwide pandemic, that in these press conferences, that we really get the facts out there," Hogan told Margaret Brennan on CBS' "Face the Nation."
Illinois has also said they
experienced
a significant increase in calls to poison control following the President's statement. Illinois Public Health Director Dr. Ngozi Ezike said the calls have included someone using a detergent based solution for a sinus rinse and another person gargling with a bleach and mouthwash mixture to kill germs.
