Scoop: US intel community in a report to White House concludes China has concealed the extent of the coronavirus outbreak in its country, sources tell @nwadhams and me.
Trump officials assumed China’s virus numbers weren’t accurate, now intel shows it.

A WHO official says communities should aim for only a tenth of coronavirus tests coming back positive. High rates mean that the tests are being used mainly to confirm obvious cases -- and that officials aren't finding the full extent of the disease. trib.al/gUYqbfH

If Zoom cares to resurrect its reputation, it needs to do four things right away.
1. Stop acting like malware. Although the intent isn't malicious, it's a dangerous slippery slope that makes it harder for the OS to block actual malware and creates new security risks for users.

NEW: We got internal emails fm the CDC, LAX, & Nevada Dept of Health that give a behind-the-scenes peek into the early response to the #coronavirus outbreak. These lines pretty much sum it up:
"Help urgently needed."
"It's good to be confused together."

Exclusive: The US government had a plan to build a huge fleet of easy-to-use, inexpensive ventilators.
Then a big company got greedy, and the project unraveled. By @sarahkliff @nkulish @jbsgreenberg nytimes.com/2020/03/29/busin…

If I imagined the answer to "what would Bill Clinton say about COVID-19", this is it. Except, of course, he said it better.
As the numbers continue to rise, we can never forget that there are real people, each with their own lives, stories, families, and friends behind every statistic. My heart is with all those who have lost someone to COVID-19, are fighting the virus, or know someone who is.

Why has the Bay Area's air quality been getting worse all day today?
(It had been really good for most of the last few weeks...)

The New York Times worked with a doctor to film 72 hours at Elmhurst, the hospital that's been hardest hit by the coronavirus outbreak in NY. The result is an extraordinary piece of video journalism

So the inclusion of "push" in that list, rather than being in a separate field, mean I can't filter on the reason I'm getting notifications for that PR (i.e., which of the others in the list it actually is).
And to follow up a little bit more, I'd note that all the Cc/X-GitHub-Reason types listed in help.github.com/en/github/re… except for "push" and "your_activity" are about answering "why am I getting email for this PR". But those two (especially the first) are orthogonal to it.
