Glad to see this. May it spread!
Some of the major changes to the K-12 standards include:
Place reading at the core of the standards development process;
Place elevated focus on memorizing math facts;
Content-rich standards that focus on classic literature;
Define rigor as the product of maintaining high expectations for students
The new B.E.S.T. standards will fulfill the governor’s mandate to “identify opportunities to equip high school graduates with sufficient knowledge of America’s civics, particularly the principles reflected in the United States Constitution, so as to be capable of discharging the responsibilities associated with American citizenship.”
Changes to the curriculum will include a civics literacy examination for all high school seniors and a recommended reading list that includes America’s significant foundational documents.
2) Isn't this an RNA virus?
3) The dangerous part of this virus is the outer protein coat having elements which allow it to bind to epithelial cells deep in the lungs like SARS did. It creates a cytokine storm.
4) But only *after* being transmissible _without sympoms_ for up to 10-14 days. Not panic mongering, there are articles published BY CHINA, in both the press, and in august publications like the Lancet, which back this up.

More background on pilot of the crashed helicopter:
50-year-old Huntington Beach resident Ara Zobayan, the pilot of the aircraft who had a clean safety record and was attempting to travel through adverse conditions.
Before Sunday’s crash, the pilot and flight instructor had no prior accidents or flight incidents, according to Ian Gregor, a California spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration. Zobayan received his first private pilot license with a helicopter rating on January 21, 2001, and his commercial pilot license on December 3, 2007.
After learning to fly, Zobayan worked at Group 3 as a flight instructor. One of his students there, Darren Kemp, told the Los Angeles Times that Zobayan had worked as Bryant’s private pilot for some time. “[Bryant] doesn’t let anyone else fly him around but Ara,” Kemp told the paper.
Zobayan later took a job as a pilot at Island Express Holding Corporation, the family-owned helicopter charter company that contracts with Catalina Island to do local tours and was listed as the owner of the vehicle that crashed Sunday. The vehicle, a Sikorsky S-76B, was nearly 30 years old at the time of the crash, having spent several years in the possession of the state of Illinois before getting sold to Island Express in 2015. Representatives for Island Express did not return requests for comment for this story.
Zobayan was a licensed instrument pilot, meaning that he was trained on the safety and navigational tools needed to fly under poor weather conditions.
In recordings from Zobayan’s conversations with aircraft controllers published by LiveATC.net, you can hear the pilot activating what’s called “Special Visual Flight Rules,” meaning that the air controllers might help him detect things he couldn’t himself see. “If you listen to the audio recordings,” the charter employee said, “he asked to be tracked by air traffic control—which means, I need you to track me because I’m in bad conditions.”
