Backlight withdraws corona broadcast to safety people in China
The VPRO has decided not to broadcast a planned episode of Tegenlicht (which translates to Backlight) about corona in China. "Persons in China" would be endangered by the broadcast. The episode should have provided a glimpse into the lives of residents of the Chinese city of Wuhan, where the corona virus was first detected early this year.

The episode, entitled China Restart , featuring Ruben Terlou would air on Sunday. The editorial says today that it has "strong indications" that the individuals in question are at risk. The editors do not reveal who it concerns.

'Border where security is at stake'
The editorial says it is "regrettable" that the planned episode about the lockdown cannot go ahead. In a statement it says: "The VPRO stands for independent journalism and is willing to go very far to bring new stories and perspectives, but we draw the line where the safety of people is at stake."

In the broadcast, residents of Wuhan are asked about the lockdown and the current situation in Wuhan, as life in the city gets going again. The exact target of the threat remains unclear. The editors do not want to go into the matter any further, but are prepared to do so later, newspaper NRC Handelsblad writes.

There have been concerns about the Chinese censorship of corona information for some time. For example, several citizen journalists who had been critical of how to deal with the corona virus in the country went missing recently.

This guy Ruben Terlou is Dutch, but speaks fluently Chinese and has made several documentary series about China where he basically unscripted travels throughout the country and speaks openly with the regular people on the street. Very interesting, but as far as I'm aware there are no episodes with English subtitles on YT

A Virginia preacher believed ‘God can heal anything.’ Then he caught coronavirus.

Landon Spradlin went to Mardi Gras to save souls. He never made it home.

Every day Landon Spradlin was growing weaker, and now, on the morning when he would leave New Orleans for the last time, the 66-year-old preacher and blues guitarist was unable to load his bags into the white Ford F-250 that was supposed to carry him home.

Ric Lyons, a fellow musician who for weeks had played and prayed with Spradlin amid the Mardi Gras crowds thronging Jackson Square, packed the truck. Spradlin’s wife, Jean, settled in the driver’s seat. Spradlin eased into the cab beside her. Racked by fits of coughing, the ordinarily talkative street minister said little as the Ford rolled east on the Twin Span Bridge across the wide, bright expanse of Lake Pontchartrain.

The world had changed since the Spradlins crossed the same bridge weeks earlier to begin their annual New Orleans street ministry. The couple from rural Gretna, Va., had arrived Feb. 18, several days before President Trump declared on Twitter that the novel coronavirus was “very much under control in the USA.” They left on March 16, the same day the president would recommend that Americans stop gathering in groups of more than 10.

New cases of covid-19, the deadly disease once confined to central China, were emerging rapidly across the United States. Cities and states were beginning to lock down. After a teeming Mardi Gras, New Orleans had canceled its similarly boisterous St. Patrick’s Day celebration. The French Quarter was all but empty.
And the Spradlins were sick.

This happened to them almost every year: After the crowds and the music, the conversations and prayers with countless strangers, they would come home from Louisiana with some kind of bug. Landon had bad lungs, and when he began wheezing in the days after Mardi Gras he assumed it was one of the periodic visitations of bronchitis, pneumonia or severe asthma he endured. Jean, who is 63, came down with a slight fever and shortness of breath.

But there were, as always for the Spradlins, ample reasons for hope. An Air Force veteran, Landon had sought help at the New Orleans Veterans Affairs Medical Center. He was tested for the coronavirus, and the result was negative. The doctors diagnosed him with pneumonia and prescribed a course of antibiotics.

The Spradlins were also counting on a power greater than a Z-Pak or an albuterol canister. Their fervent brand of charismatic Christianity held that God regularly intervened in the world to alter the course of believers’ physical ailments.

“I don’t believe there are incurable diseases. God can heal anything,” Landon said during an interview at a 2016 motorcycle rally in Daytona Beach, Fla. “There are documented cases of God healing AIDS. God can cause limbs to grow out where they’ve been chopped off. God can raise the dead.”

A new malady had emerged as his Mardi Gras ministry ended last month. But not everyone acknowledged its threat. Three days before leaving, Landon — an avid Trump supporter — posted a meme on his Facebook page about the coronavirus, which at the time had killed about 40 people in the United States. The media, it warned, was trying to “manipulate your life” by creating “mass hysteria.”

Kids under 18 were curfewed, but 18+ were A-OK to go out? That's retarded - all evidence suggests the virus has a bigger impact on young adults and the elderly.
