Bush, a progressive lawmaker from Missouri, accused Greene of “berating” her in a hallway, targeting her on social media, and posing a threat to her team and fellow colleagues over spreading the coronavirus. “A maskless Marjorie Taylor Greene & her staff berated me in a hallway. She targeted me & others on social media,” Bush tweeted Friday. “I’m moving my office away from hers for my team’s safety,” she announced....

The coronavirus outbreak has seen a number of sporting events postponed around the world - the NBA, MLS and NHL seasons halted with immediate effect - but boxing will go ahead in New York, albeit without fans present. Undefeated featherweight Shakur Stevenson will defend the WBO title for the first time when he faces Miguel Marriaga in the main event on Friday’s show. The second card takes place at the same venue next Tuesday, as Irishman Michael Conlan headlines in a 10-round bout against Belmar Preciado on St Patrick’s Day....

Cuomo’s latest press conference in Albany saw him reiterate his order that all state residents must stop going to work and stay in their homes unless their job is labeled ’essential’ or they are seeking groceries, medicine or gasoline. The governor said the “drastic action” comes as more than 15,168 total coronavirus cases have been confirmed statewide, with 4,812 of them coming in the past 24 hours. New York, which has about 14,000 more positive cases than any other state, has also tested 61,000 people– 15,000 recently....

The 1-month-old child named Jiang Moumou was confirmed to have the bug known as 2019-nCoV on Monday, the health commission of China’s southwestern province of Guizhou said in a statement. The baby has been placed into isolation at the People’s Hospital of Guizhou Province, where she is receiving treatment. She was in a stable condition, according to the authorities. Jiang was brought to Guizhou from abroad, and currently lives the Nanming District of Guiyang City of the province, officials said....

City officials said on Sunday that a woman who recently traveled to Iran tested positive locally for the virus. Two days later, Governor Andrew Cuomo confirmed during a press conference that a second person in the state has the virus. “There is no doubt that there will be more cases where we find people who test positive. We said early on it wasn’t a question of if but when,” Cuomo said....

“It’s not so much a question of if this will happen anymore,” but rather one of when, the U.S. Centers for Diseases Control (CDC) warned on Tuesday. Several countries have banned the entry of travelers from South Korea, which currently has the highest number of cases outside China, while mainland Spain, Greece, Switzerland, Croatia, and Austria have now also reported their first cases. Most of the newly-infected in Europe stemmed from Italy, which has the third highest number of confirmed cases, after China and South Korea, following a recent surge over the past weekend....

In last Tuesday’s debate, she evoked the legacy of Dr. King: “The three of us [former senator John Edwards rounds out the threesome] are here in large measure because his dreams have been realized.” And she and Obama essentially agreed to put the ugliness behind them. Their fans and friends, it seems, didn’t get the message. Two days before last Saturday’s bitterly contested Nevada caucus, the Clinton camp pushed forth two Latina heavyweights to counter a Spanish language radio ad accusing Clinton of disrespecting Latinos....

Morata rescues draw for Spain The striker has been linked with a move away from the Premier League champions for much of the past season, despite having scored 22 goals in all competitions. Costa was tipped for a move to the lucrative Chinese Super League in January only to commit to Chelsea for the remainder of the campaign, but his future has been cast into fresh doubt since reports emerged linking the Blues with a bid for Everton striker Romelu Lukaku....

According to a team of researchers from Western University and Sunnybrook Hospital, the results suggest that the widely recommended six-foot physical distancing rule may be insufficient in cases when someone coughs directly at you without covering their mouth. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) says that COVID-19 mainly spreads between people in close contact, or within about six feet. When an infected individual coughs, sneezes or talks, droplets are launched out of their mouth or nose, and some of these may land in the mouths or noses of those nearby....

The Welsh winger has fallen out of favour with coach Zinedine Zidane and has been overtaken in the pecking order by both Marco Asensio and Lucas Vazquez. And when he was hauled off at half-time against Juventus earlier this month, it looked like the beginning of the end for the former Tottenham midfielder in Spain. “I have to make choices and I’ve got some very good players in the squad,” Zidane said ahead of the game against Leganes when asked about Bale....

Now I think Ryan might be an insurance policy in case Jon Gruden bolts “Monday Night Football” to return to the NFL as a coach. Gruden, the Super Bowl-winning coach, raised eyebrows this week during an interview in which he talked about returning to the league where he coached for 19 seasons. MORE: NFL predictions for 2017 “I’ve met with several people – I won’t deny that,” Gruden told PewterReport....

Staged in Los Angles, WWE unsurprisingly attached a series of well-received movie vignettes to it, but the priority was undoubtedly pushing Dave Batista following the retirement of Steve Austin, the walkout of Brock Lesnar, and The Rock’s hiatus to Hollywood of all places. WWE desperately needed new talent to replace old stock and tonight was the night they went all in. Join DAZN and watch more than 100 fight nights a year...

Katie and Robin snapped up the semi-detached property, originally built in 1904, in Kettering, in the U.K., and moved in last December. The pair have been sharing the restoration journey to their TikTok and Instagram accounts, as they painstakingly sand floors, cut tiles, hack off cement and redecorate. They’re trying to be sympathetic to the antique features of the house, reinstalling fireplaces and ripping up carpet to expose floorboards, but they found one original detail they weren’t expecting....

In the summer of 2020 Danielle Witt and Ben Rockey-Harris finally found a home just outside of Washington D.C. after months of searching. Witt told NPR she had done a lot of research on the home and was excited at the possibility of moving to the area. However, in an effort to not fall in love with the home too soon, she did not Google the neighborhood itself. When their offer was accepted, Witt jumped onto Google and plugged in Cottage City, their new town, to find the shocking results...

Judy and Ed Craine were forced to become amateur historians in order to fight the fine in San Francisco, when they insisted the area in front of their home had been used as a parking space since the property was first built back in 1910, even if the vehicle in those days was a horse-and-buggy. But they struggled to find proof of their case in an era where cameras were rare....

During a press conference, Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesperson Zhao Lijian said that China has noticed the joint statement from the U.S. and South Korea, following Biden’s meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in. “We noted the relevant content of the joint statement of the U.S. and the R.O.K. and are concerned about that. We believe that the development of U.S.-R.O.K. relations should be conducive to promoting regional peace, stability, development and prosperity, rather than the opposite, still less harmful to the interests of third parties including China,” Zhao said during the press conference....

A theory that COVID-19 could have emerged from a lab leak in Wuhan, China, where the disease was first seen towards the end of 2019, has caused tension between the U.S., China and the World Health Organization (WHO). President Joe Biden ordered U.S. intelligence agencies to conduct a 90-day review of “two likely scenarios” in late May, including the lab leak theory and another that COVID-19 potentially transferred from animals to humans....

China’s foreign ministry issued a statement Saturday that highlighted Wang and Lavrov’s conversation in which they said the U.S. is destroying its relationships with allies and foreign governments worldwide. Wang said the U.S. has reverted back to its “Cold War mentality” and is creating confrontations that did not exist just a few short years ago. “The U.S. has bluntly pursued its ‘America First’ policy, pushing egoism, unilateralism and bullying to the limit, and that’s not what a great power should be about,” Wang told Lavrov, according to remarks reproduced by the Beijing government....

Previously, 2019 regulations banned children from gaming overnight and limited them to 90 minutes of game time most weekdays. The new rules, implemented in early September, are a tightening of the previous gaming limits. The government hopes to keep its youth from spending too much time on entertainment that the communist government deems unhealthy. Curbing “irrational fan culture” of worshipping celebrities is part of that effort. “Adolescents are the future of the motherland, and protecting the physical and mental health of minors is related to the vital interests of masses, and in cultivating newcomers in the era of national rejuvenation,” the Press and Publications Administration said in a statement, alluding to a campaign by Chinese President Xi Jinping to cultivate a healthier society for a more powerful China....
