URGENT! Police disperse democracy protest in front of Bangkok’s Siam Paragon using water cannon to break protesters’s line and pushing through with shields. Protesters defend themselves with umbrellas. @HRW#WhatsHappeningInThailand#16ตุลาไปแยกปทุมวัน#หยุดคุกคามประชาชน

Bats: "The flying mammals are reservoirs for more than 60 viruses that can infect humans, and host more viruses per species than even rodents do, new research shows." Chinese people eat them! #WuhanPneumonia#WuhanVirus
