As Bernie Sanders and others attack Bloomberg, you know he is doing well.  Just a thought.

Boris...

British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and his estranged wife Marina Wheeler have reached a financial agreement for their divorce, court records showed Tuesday.

Lawyers for Johnson and Wheeler attended a brief private hearing at the Central Family Court in London.

Judge Sarah Gibbons barred the media from reporting financial details of the settlement. The judge gave Wheeler permission to apply for a divorce decree that will formally end the couple’s marriage.

Johnson and Wheeler, a lawyer, married in 1993 and had four children. They announced in September 2018 that they had separated and planned to divorce.

Johnson, 55, now lives with 31-year-old partner Carrie Symonds in the prime minister’s official residence, 10 Downing St. 

Sleep...

The ideal temperature to fall asleep in is between 60º and 68º. This  will help the body maintain a temperature slightly lower than 98.6º and is the best range to get a restful night's sleep.

"When you're too hot, it is difficult to fall and stay asleep throughout the night,"  "Warm temperatures cause night sweats and overheating, and prevent you from hitting that lower body temperature ideal for sleeping."

"Keeping your limbs far away from each other can help keep you cool and prevent the transfer of heat throughout your body."

"Certain materials like memory foam, in particular, retain heat and, so go for a mattress that uses materials with higher airflow."

"Cotton sheets are a good choice, as the material is breathable and promotes airflow," he says. "Additionally, pillows with special cooling covers can help keep you cool throughout the night."

However, people may differ. Just a thought.

Liu...

The director of a hospital in Wuhan, China, the epicenter of the novel coronavirus outbreak, died after contracting the virus Tuesday.

Liu Zhiming, age 51, was a neurosurgeon and director of the Wuchang Hospital in Wuhan, according to the Wuhan health commission.

A new study by the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, an agency of the National Health Commission, found that more than 80% of people who contracted the newly discovered virus -- known officially as COVID-19 -- had mild symptoms and recovered, while 14% of the cases studied included severe symptoms, like pneumonia and shortness of breath. About 5% of patients had critical symptoms, such as organ and respiratory failure and septic shock.

Vroom......

Bill de Blasio’s finally gets to share the stage with Bernie Sanders. A dream just to be in the national stage but then gets a little laryngitis.

Despite his faltering voice, de Blasio made the trip to Nevada to try to talk up his endorsement of Sanders in advance of the Democratic caucuses. Whether voters in Reno know anything about the current mayor of New York City apparently isn’t the point when a former mayor of New York City is gaining steam in the polls. 

De Blasio sounds like he wants to be Sanders’ attack dog when it comes to Michael Bloomberg.

Bloomberg’s success must be infuriating to de Blasio – whose own presidential campaign evaporated in a flash.

Bloomberg’s rise does provide de Blasio with a new opportunity to get some attention by trying to correct the record. But do you really want to be the guy who’s more than six years into his term and still railing about his predecessor?
 
Politics is a tough business when you want to give voice to the voiceless – especially when the voice you’re losing is one’s own.

Crazy...

New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio will endorse Bernie Sanders for president — a move intended to advance his own elusive quest for national relevance while underscoring his background as a left-leaning, establishment-wary Democrat, according to people familiar with the mayor's plans.

Though he styles himself a political risk-taker, the mayor is only taking the plunge after Sanders emerged victorious from the Iowa caucuses and New Hampshire primary, rather than when the Vermont senator’s chances seemed more tenuous last year. 

He will begin his tour of duty in Nevada on Sunday, and plans to travel throughout the country for the campaign, according to people familiar with his plans.

And as the mayor of the nation’s largest city, de Blasio is one of the highest-ranking politicians to embrace Sanders’ unapologetically liberal White House bid.    

With De Blasio and  AOC in hand to support Bernie, one would think the Sanders campaign may be in trouble already. 

 Just a thought.

Betting...

Vindman, a National Security Council official, testified to the House Intelligence Committee in November that he had discussed the controversial July 25, 2019 phone call between Trump and the Ukrainian president with an unknown intelligence community member as well as State Department official George Kent, who also testified to lawmakers.

Vindman listened to the call between Trump and Ukrainian president Voldymyr Zelensky, during which Trump asked Zelensky to investigate Joe Bidens. 

The Democrats made a lot of noise about Mr. Vindman's testimoney and so is the Liberal Media. Then when the impeachment reached the Senate, all the previous heroes disappeared and Dems wanted more witnesses to go at it for round two.

Betting on the wrong horse.   Just a thought.

Likely...

Fear of catching the coronavirus has some cabbies and ride-share drivers discriminating against customers due to fear of the unknown.

“I feel bad about it, but when I see Chinese passengers, I just go,” one cab driver —  told The Post. “I don’t pick up anyone Chinese. I’m scared. I don’t want to get the disease.”

“If I drop off somebody in Flushing [the Queens neighborhood with a Chinese population of some 70,000], I deactivate the app [and drive to another area],” an Uber driver told The Post. “I don’t know who has it . . . I worry for myself, my family and my passengers.”

Many Chinese and other habitual shoppers are avoiding the crowded areas of shopping and food markets in flushing and China town for fear of the unknown.

As of Friday evening, there were 15 confirmed cases of the virus in the US and none in New York State. The Centers for Disease Control warned this week that the spread of the disease in the US is “likely.”

No one said how many cases we would have if no precautions by any one are taking place.  Just a thought.
