As Andrew is quite informed about the Coronavirus , we discussed recent developments in the USA and in other countries. We addressed the current situation with the cruise ship docked off the coast of California, and what course of action constitutes the best way to proceed with those on board. In that regard, I informed Andrew that testing kits are being delivered by helicopter ,and we examined who should be quarantined and for how long. We then identified other countries fighting the spread of the virus ,including Iran. Andrew voiced little sympathy for the infected Iranian population, but this led to a discussion of the reliability of the data the public is receiving from countries that do not have a free press. I defined the term "free press" , and Andrew then identified some countries ,like the US, that do have a free press, and we together identified many that do not such as Russia, China ,Iran and Saudi Arabla. In that regard, we reviewed the murder of the Saudi journalist, Jamal Khashoggi. We looked at some pictures of Khashoggi as well as pictures of him walking into the embassy where he met his untimely demise.
