Another 103 sailors from US carrier test positive for coronavirus

WASHINGTON – Another 103 crew members on the US aircraft carrier Theodore Roosevelt have tested positive for the coronavirus, the Navy said on Saturday, bringing the total number of cases from the ship to 550.

In a statement on its website, the Navy said 92% of the carrier’s crew members had been tested for the virus, with 550 positive and 3,673 negative results. It said 3,696 sailors had moved ashore.

On Friday, the Navy had reported 447 positive cases and on Thursday, 416.

The outbreak aboard the nuclear-powered carrier led to the resignation on Tuesday of Thomas Modly as acting Navy secretary following a mounting backlash for his firing and ridiculing of the ship’s commander, who had pleaded for the help stemming a coronavirus outbreak onboard.

On Thursday, a sailor from the carrier was admitted to an intensive care unit in Guam after testing positive for the coronavirus last month.

Chinese Diary Entry: clear snow

Chinese Diary Entry: clear snow muTu Note - Learn Chinese with Chinese Girl When I got up and look out from the window, I found, to my great surprise, it was snowing heavily. I was very excited since it was the first snowfall this winter. 起床后我往窗外看去,惊讶的发现正在下大雪。我很兴奋,因为这是今年第一场雪。 我很快穿上衣服,跑到院子里。一些孩子已经在那里了。我们堆雪人,滚雪球,打雪仗,又笑又喊,开心极了。突然,我们注意到,由于厚厚的积雪,公共汽车和小汽车开得很慢。“为什么我们不去扫雪呢?”有人建议。听了他的话,我们跑去拿来工具,开始扫雪。我们扫了整整一个早晨,路上的雪被清扫干净了,我们高兴地回家了。 When I got up and look out from the window, I found, to my great surprise, it was snowing heavily. I was very excited since it was the first snowfall this winter. I quickly got dressed and ran into the yard. Some kids were already there. We made some snowmen and rolled snowballs. We also enjoyed the fun of having snowball fights. Laughing and shouting, all of us were so happy. Suddenly we noticed that buses and cars were moving slowly because of the heavy snow. “Why don’t we go to clear the snow?” Someone suggested. At these words, we ran to fetch tools and be...

Where Did Chinese Get Their Spicy Kicks Before the Chili Pepper?

Americans might say 宫保鸡丁 (gōng bǎo jī dīng Kung Pao chicken), while Japanese insist that 麻婆豆腐 (má pó dòu fu Mapo Tofu) is king. Even within China, most answers will be quite predictable, such as 水煮鱼 (shuǐ zhǔ yú spicy boiled fish), 麻辣小龙虾 (má là xiǎo lóng xiā hot and spicy crawfish), or 大盘鸡 (dà pán jī Big Plate Chicken). Notice any similarities? It seems that the red and spicy chili pepper(辣椒,là jiāo) is the through line that makes many Chinese dishes immediately recognizable. However, if you were paying attention in your history classes, you’ll know that the chilies we eat today are not a native(本土的,běn tǔ de) species(物种,wù zhǒng) of China. So the question is, what did ancient Chinese use in their kitchen to add that pinch of flavor to spice things up? The former way of writing 辣 better demonstrates the relation between 辣 and 辛. Befor...
