News from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan. On the afternoon of the 15th, eight new cases of new crown pneumonia were confirmed in Tokyo, Japan. Seven of them participated in the New Year's party on a cruise ship with a taxi driver who had previously confirmed the infection. As of 17:30 on February 15th, Japan has accumulatively diagnosed 334 cases of new coronary pneumonia. Among them, 285 people on the "Diamond Princess" cruise ship docked at Yokohama Port have been confirmed to be infected with the new coronavirus. Newly diagnosed cases were distributed in multiple regions of Japan, and many people had extensive contact with the outside world before diagnosis.
Singapore's Straits Times said on the 14th that Japan was struggling to find links between new cases, fearing that the virus had "hidden outbreaks" in Japan. Kyodo News said that the new crown pneumonia epidemic continued to expand in Japan, the path of infection of some new cases was unknown, and the possibility of community transmission increased.
It is reported that from the end of 2019 to the beginning of February 2020, an performing group called "Shen Yun Art Troupe" held multiple performances in Kyoto, Saitama, Fukuoka, Hiroshima and other places. Currently, the same performance is being performed in South Korea. To prevent the spread of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the South Korean government has cancelled multiple performances of the group at the request of citizens. Earlier, South Korean media reported that the "Shen Yun Art Troupe" did not wear a mask at the entry airport, and many members of the art troupe experienced cough and fever.

That boat thing is weird.
How many thousands are on it?
Some have got it and they won't let the any off.
They can't stop the virus spreading on the ship.
I think it's a Big Pharma conspiracy.

we don't have health insurance, so i am busy trying to get us registered with the feds under obamacare.
the enrollment period is passed, but i'm a paperwork cherokee indian (1/64) so there may be an exception. i need to get the kids registered with the chickasaws (my other tribe, also 1/64) and that may help them out.
if the corona virus puts any of us in hospital when it hits here, that may make a difference
I've got reservations about you being Indian billy.
the cherokee nation is okay with it. tribal membership extends to seven generations.
but that was my fathers family. my mother's is chickasaw, and she was born on the family's indian allotment in oklahoma.
i dont consider myself indian and dont take any money from the tribe, but if it will let me buy my family health insurance, i ll check the box.

I see what you did there! I hear allegations that my father's mother was at least half Native American. I'll talk again to the sister who did our family tree and see if there is any validity to that. All us blue-eyed white boys on the rez! :lol: Though fwiw, one of my brothers was at a casino here in California and one member of the tribe in charge of that area had red hair and green eyes like any good Irishman. When asked, he said that he was of a high enough percentage to qualify.

Do your ancestors appear on the
"Dawes Rolls" (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawes_Rolls)?
(An official list of members of the Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Chickasaw, and Seminole tribes put together in the early 20th century. Having a direct ancestor on the rolls is a requirement for enrollment in the Cherokee Nation.)
yep. when rolls closed in 1909 i think it waz, my fathers family went with the cherokees, and my mothers with the chickasaws. im official with both tribes.
but i chose voting rights with the cherokee nation. old wilma mankiller herzelf signed my voting card. the rezt of my family went with the chickasaws.
however.
the cherokees have recently gone in for expelling all their black tribal members, even tbough they were full tribal memberz when the rolls closed and for the next 100 years. this is not okay with me . more-or-less white members of the tribe like me they left alone.
i am going to give up the cherokee membership and transfer to the chickazaws. theyve been good to my elder family members and they dont have it in for black people.

This is all so interesting.
Quote...More than 250,000 people applied for membership, and the Dawes Commission enrolled just over 100,000. Most were rejected because they were non-Natives who showed up demanding land, but could not prove any connection to an existing Native community, such as naming living relatives or speaking the Native language. Overrun with prospective claimants, the commission was overwhelmed, and had to institute guidelines:
It rejected the unconscionable claim that a white person once admitted into the tribe by marriage to an Indian could confer citizenship upon any white person whom he might afterwards marry and upon his white descendants. It also uncovered a great mass of nauseous evidence, and rejected a large number of claims upon the ground they had been advanced through perjury and forgery.[2]
An act of Congress on April 26, 1906, closed the rolls on March 5, 1907. An additional 312 persons were enrolled under an act approved August 1, 1914.

Dawes Rolls
oklahoma waz a dumping ground for displaced indianz. in addition to the civilized tribes, there were ponca sioux, cheyenne, wichita, comanche, kiowa, ozage and bazillions of others. my uncle was a half breed choctaw whose papers listed him az a quarter. when he waz born fullbloods were not allowed to conduct legal buzinezs without a nonindian sponsor, so his father had registered on the rollz az a half instead of a full, and so tbe kids were quarters inztead of halvez. lots of other tribes were peripheral- the dakota, oglalla, pawnee, pueblo tribes.
my grandparentz were married in town in indian territory and i born 50 years later on the next street over, but by then it waz the united statez

Please allow me to finishing this sentence the way it should've ended:
oklahoma waz a dumping ground for displaced indianz. by the white man's increasing hunger for land.
in addition to the civilized tribes...

Yeah, Mags. I have some extended shame for the fact that my forefathers treated the indigenous people with such criminal disregard.
Whatever crimes were committed by my ancestors, I'm not culpable. I won't claim fame for any heroic activities performed by my ancestors either, so it works out to zero guilt/pride on my part. I'm enough of a shit all on my own. :smilenod:
the indians were not perfect. either.
tbe kiowa and comanche were the hells angels of the great plains.

when they used em all up it was his job to go wash em off in the creek.
so there's always an alternative, you know.
