AP-NORC Poll: More Americans Worry About Flu than New Virus

UNDATED (AP) — A wide share of Americans are at least moderately confident in United States health officials’ ability to handle emerging viruses. That’s according to a poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research. The poll also finds that more Americans express some concern about catching the flu than catching the new coronavirus. The findings are encouraging to health experts who want people to get their flu shots while also staying informed about efforts to contain the new virus. Thousands of Americans die from flu every year, far overshadowing the small number of cases of the new virus in the United States.

Weinstein Jurors Focus on Sciorra as Deliberations Continue

NEW YORK (AP) — The jury for Harvey Weinstein’s rape trial is continuing to focus a lot of attention on actress Annabella Sciorra’s linchpin allegation that the once-heralded Hollywood mogul raped her in the mid-1990s. As the deliberated Thursday, the jurors were looking at emails that Weinstein sent regarding Sciorra, including ones to the private Israeli spy agency he allegedly enlisted to dig up dirt on would-be accusers. Sciorra’s allegation is too old to be charged on its own because of the statute of limitations, but it’s a key component of the most serious charges that jurors are weighing in the closely watched #MeToo case. Weinstein maintains that any sexual contact was consensual.

Trump Ally Roger Stone Sentenced to Over 3 Years in Prison

WASHINGTON (AP) — Roger Stone, a staunch ally of President Donald Trump, has been sentenced to more than three years in prison on his convictions for witness tampering and lying to Congress. Thursday’s action in federal court comes amid Trump’s unrelenting defense of his longtime confidant that has led to a mini-revolt inside the Justice Department and allegations the president has interfered in the case. Trump has denounced as a “miscarriage of justice” the initial recommendation by Justice Department prosecutors that Stone receive at least seven years in prison. Attorney General William Barr then backed off that recommendation, prompting four prosecutors to quit Stone’s case. Stone chose not to address the court at his sentencing.
