On September 21, 2018, the Dutch technology company ASML presented a 258.19 square micrometer ad in Veldhoven, the Netherlands. It was engraved and printed on an electronic wafer and said: "To be very small, you have to think big #Smallest_AD ASML." The company produced the ad using lithography techniques that are used to create nano-scale microchips. The sign has a surface area of 258 microns and measures 33.27 microns by 7.76 microns. A typical strand of human hair is 75 microns wide. The previous record was set by fast food chain Arby's, which produced a 735-micron square ad on a sesame seed in June 2018. And the biggest By contrast, the largest billboard measures 28,922 square meters, enough to cover 2,000 parking spaces. It was the work of the fast food chain Arby's to commemorate its collaboration with Coca-Cola, and was presented in Monowi, Nebraska, United States, on June 13, 2018. Monowi, which has only one inhabitant, was chosen as the smallest US po[CENSORED]tion. Its only resident is named Elsie Eiler.

The Aprilia RS 660 2020 is the new sports car of the Italian brand with two medium displacement cylinders. A compact, lightweight response with high-performance components on a logical and practical sports bike. Aprilia RS 660 price not available at the moment The Aprilia RS 660 2020 is the pioneer of a possible new generation of sports bikes, which seek practicality and cost containment but without skimping on components of the cycle, main protagonists in the dynamic capabilities of the motorcycle. The concept of a year ago that opted for a compact, small, light and manageable motorcycle, with a contained power but with a chassis, brakes and suspensions of the highest level, already has a license plate holder and mirrors, ready to enjoy it on the street. With a weight of 169 kg and a power of 100 hp, the Aprilia RS 660 is postulated as a reference "middleweight" thanks to an ultra light and rigid chassis, and a latest generation electronic package and very similar to that of its older sister, the Aprilia RSV4 1100. The engine is a clear derivation of the front bench from the RSV4's 1100 V4 block. It is a very compact 660 cc parallel twin capable of delivering 100 hp and exceeding the new Euro5 anti-pollution regulations. It is an engine that seeks efficient combustion throughout its rpm range, prioritizing high torque. It has a 270º crankshaft and a 2-1 exhaust with an asymmetric final silencer under the engine to centralize the weight distribution. concepts applied in its older sister the RSV4. The engine has a structural function as a self-supporting element. The front area of the chassis has been carefully designed to achieve a comfortable and workable balance on the road without sacrificing performance on the track. It features a fully adjustable 41mm travel Kayaba front fork, 320mm brakes and Brembo radial calipers, as well as its Brembo radial pump and metal hoses. The body design is inspired by the V4 family, with three headlamps with full LED lighting, a compact and edged fairing, emulating the aesthetic line of the RSV4 body.

Serotonin, tryptophan and endorphin are some of the components that are present in products that we may have in our home and that help improve our mood these days. Furthermore, according to the World Health Organization, adequate nutrition for workers can increase productivity levels by 20%. The advance of the pandemic, being isolated for several weeks, low temperatures and rainy days are clearly not a contribution to improve our mood. A study conducted by Randstad on the health crisis revealed that 18.6% of Chilean workers surveyed acknowledged feeling stressed, 11.2% anxious and 9.7% frustrated. Furthermore, 8.1% admitted being depressed and 7% irritated by the current situation. The figures clearly reflect a reality of many people, however, what we must know is that there are natural methods that improve our mood these days. From the nutrition team of ISS Chile, a company that provides food services throughout the country, they detail five foods or components that we can consume and that will help brighten our days. In addition, they explain to us what they generate in our body. Chocolate: Cocoa, milk, cocoa butter and sugar are the ingredients of chocolate, which, together, manage to generate serotonin, the neurotransmitter that achieves the feeling of satisfaction, joy and well-being. Fructose: Sugar present in fruits. For those looking to achieve this feeling of happiness and avoid processed sweets, this is the best option. It is recommended by the nutritionists of ISS Chile to eat at least five servings a day, considering vegetables and fruits. Omega 3: Healthy fatty acids that are present in most fish. This component improves communication between the areas of the brain and therefore achieves emotional, mental and behavioral stability. Walnuts: This dried fruit is rich in tryptophan, one of the amino acids that stimulates the production of serotonin. The component does not occur naturally, so we must worry about consuming foods that have it. Meats: Like nuts, beef, chicken, and pork have tryptophan. They are also a source of melatonin, a hormone that induces sleep. This last point is extremely important since to stay active and happy, we must worry about sleeping at least eight hours a day. By consuming these foods we can improve our mood. In addition, the team of experts advises doing physical activity for at least 30 minutes a day, as this will generate endorphin -also known as the hormone of happiness-, which works as a natural painkiller and helps control anxiety and stress levels. Improve job performance In Chile, most people have a working day of 9 hours a day on average, so it is essential to eat in a good way to perform and have a good quality of working life. Currently, the eating patterns of most people are based on a diet with high energy density, that is, with more total fat and sugar added to the food, low intake of complex carbohydrates, fiber, fruits and vegetables , and high sodium intake, which is closely related to the intensification of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cancer and heart disease, which affect adults, including large numbers of workers. “Food and nutrition are strongly linked to the biological functioning of the body. Food has a direct impact on our cognitive activity, therefore, deciding what we are going to have for breakfast and lunch on a workday is deeply important if we want to perform well. In fact, diet is an indisputable part of lifestyles and it is there that it is clearly recognized as a determinant of health, "explains Elizabeth Luna, a Sodexo nutritionist. The Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) has considered the workplace as a priority environment for the promotion of health in the XXI century, due to the importance that the workforce has taken and the economic impact it has on the levels of production, so the importance of raising awareness and educating employees when choosing their food is evident. In addition, according to a report by the World Health Organization, adequate nutrition and physical activity in workers can increase productivity levels by 20%. The nutritionist explains that “the world po[CENSORED]tion is affected by nutritional problems of excess or deficit, anemia, hypoglycemia significantly affect performance, coordination and decrease physical work capacity. This is how our body converts almost everything we eat into glucose, that is, it gives us the necessary energy to our brain to be attentive and to our body to do all daily activities. Therefore, if we are running out of glucose, this generates hypoglycemia, in other words, low blood sugar, that is, little energy, which causes our attention to disperse, that is why when we are on an empty stomach It makes it very difficult for us to concentrate, also producing fatigue, a feeling of exhaustion and tiredness. Another important factor is knowing that our body does not process all foods at the same speed. “Pasta, bread and cereals release glucose very quickly, like a burst of energy. However, other foods such as fatty meats and sausages require more work from our digestive system, reducing oxygen levels in the brain and making us feel heavy and slow, generating discomfort throughout the body ”, says Elizabeth For this reason, the expert always recommends a healthy diet, since in addition to providing a better nutritional contribution to our body, it prevents cardiovascular diseases, reduces stress, fatigue or minor illnesses such as the flu or colds. “Stress, anxiety and overwork can cause people to change their eating habits by overeating or skipping meals. Both are harmful to health. Another important factor is the time that people dedicate to preparing food, people who are not organized tend to buy junk or ultra-processed food to get out of trouble, which eventually becomes an unhealthy habit ”says Luna. A healthy diet helps the body to function properly. Therefore, the recommendation is to avoid the consumption of sugar, such as sweets, sugary drinks and juices, avoid the consumption of fried foods and foods with fats such as cured meat and mayonnaise, reduce the consumption of alcohol and avoid especially distillates, since higher degree of alcohol more calories. Increase the consumption of baked fish and legumes twice a week, always avoiding mixing them with sausages such as sausages or sausage. To maintain a varied diet, it is essential to ensure that over 50% of the daily diet is based on live foods, that is, fruits and vegetables. Another energy food is nuts, these are characterized by being very healthy, they can be included in the diet in replacement of other less healthy snacks, contributing to good cardiovascular health.

President Donald Trump's aides were preparing for him to return to the Oval Office on Wednesday, an eventuality that a senior official seemed to believe was so inevitable that he wrongly claimed has already happened. After Larry Kudlow, director of the National Economic Council, said in an interview that Trump had been working from the Oval Office a day after returning from the hospital, the White House quickly clarified that the president remained isolated at his residence. But few seemed to think that would last much longer, despite carrying an active case of coronavirus. In a new memo released Wednesday at noon, Trump's doctor relayed to the president saying "I feel great!" and reported that he had been symptom free for 24 hours. But the memo again declined to provide critical information, such as when Trump last tested negative, what his lung scans show, and whether he is still taking the steroid dexamethasone or any other medication that may be masking his symptoms. Trump's "schedule at the moment is fluid, we are looking at his forecast," Chief of Staff Mark Meadows told reporters at the White House. "If you decide to go to the Oval, we have security protocols there." In fact, preparations have been made for Trump's eventual return to the Oval Office, including the placement of a so-called "isolation cart" stocked with yellow medical gowns, respiratory masks, and required plastic goggles for visitors right outside the doors. from the office near where Trump's aides sit. Trump made phone calls and spoke to aides mostly from his third-floor rooms on Tuesday, but took video from the ground floor where offices were set up for him next to the medical room. The video had not been released as of Wednesday morning, nor had the White House distributed photographs of the president after he returned from Walter Reed Hospital. Trump's intent on returning to his office had some senior officials convinced he already had. "The President actually showed up in the Oval Office yesterday with extra precautions with respect to his Covid-19," Kudlow said Wednesday in an interview on CNBC. "He's getting a lot better, he's a lot strong. So there was some limited activity." Kudlow's account was entirely different than Meadows', who was speaking simultaneously at the White House. The White House insisted Kudlow misspoke and that Trump remained in the White House residence. All except Trump's senior-most aides are mostly in the dark about his health status beyond what his doctor released publicly. While he seemed short of breath at times on Monday night, people said he seemed somewhat better on Tuesday, though few actually saw him in person. In his memo on Wednesday, White House physician Dr. Sean Conley wrote Trump "has not needed nor received any supplemental oxygen since initial hospitalization" and said he has been "fever-free for more than 4 days," but did not say whether Trump was currently receiving any medications which could lower a fever. Trump's labs, he said, "demonstrated detectable levels of SARS-CoV-2 IgG antibodies from labs drawn Monday." Over the weekend, Trump's physician said days seven to 10 after Trump's diagnosis could be the most critical, a window that seemed to open on Wednesday. The White House continued to refuse to disclose when Trump last tested negative for coronavirus, throwing into doubt the extensive testing regimen they had long pointed to as their main protection against the virus. It also wasn't clear which drugs the President continues to take. He was due to receive his final dose of remdesivir on Tuesday night at the White House but it wasn't known if he remains on a steroid, which some inside the building have openly speculated could be altering his mood. Any aide who comes near Trump is required to don protective garb, according to a person familiar with the matter. It has given the White House residence the feeling of a sci-fi movie, one person said, as aides, staff and Secret Service personnel who need to come near Trump suit up to protect themselves. Trump could make his way back to the West Wing as early as Wednesday if he has his way. He has raised the possibility of working from the Oval Office instead of the rooms that have been arranged for him on the lower level of the executive mansion, saying he feels ready to go back. If he does, he will find the hallways and offices around him more vacant than when he left. The President's staff has largely moved to working from home because so many of them have tested positive for coronavirus. More than 15 members of Trump's staff or inner-circle have tested positive in recent days, including his wife, senior adviser, press secretary, campaign manager, former counselor, personal assistant, four press aides, three Republican senators and a member of the military who directly serves the President. Stephen Miller, Trump's immigration adviser and speechwriter, said he tested positive Tuesday and was entering isolation. He is one of several people who had helped Trump prepare for last week's presidential debate who have now tested positive, including former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie. It was unclear when the White House or the President would release the video remarks he taped on Tuesday, whose themes were similar to those in the video Trump recorded Monday night, a person familiar with the taping told CNN. The atmosphere inside the White House was described by one official as "chaotic," largely because many people were working remotely and the President was calling the shots.

[Lifestyle] Change exercises daily goals on your Apple watch
S e u o n g posted a topic in Lifestyle
If you use an Apple Watch daily, it is certain that on some occasion you have wondered who is responsible for deciding that every day we have to close those three rings that suppose having managed to burn 600 kilocalories, have done half an hour of physical exercise and Finally, having been on their feet for at least half a day, that is, twelve hours. If you have lived obsessed with these circles and their rewards, you have to blame Apple that was the one that had the great idea to set those goals in a general way, both for those who barely move and for those who do not stop. For a long time, users (the most active) have complained that something as basic on the Apple Watch as those lenses could not be modified in some way. If you like to exercise permanently, it is very likely that half an hour is too short for you, so why not allow us to increase that amount of time to adapt it to our demands? The fact is that Apple has listened to those athletes and it is finally possible to change those minimums that a closed ring marks. Change all the objectives as you please So, and thanks to watchOS 7, it is now possible to modify those objectives and that is what we are going to do, quickly and easily. And the first thing is to go to the watch and press on the digital crown until all the apps installed on the smartwatch appear. Now you look for the Activity (the one with the three famous little circles) and wait for it to open. The first thing you will see is a summary of what we are wearing during the day. We scroll to the bottom. Modify the daily exercise goals on your Apple Watch. At the bottom there you will find the function we are looking for, which is "Change objectives". You touch on it to access the core of the entire system and that it already allows us to modify it. As you can see, you will have the opportunity to increase or reduce the amount of kilocalories (red) that you are going to burn every day, the minutes that each physical exercise session will last (green) and the hours that we spend standing (blue). Change the objectives of the three rings. Once we have fine-tuned those goals, tap on the last "Ok" button so they are stored on the Apple Watch. From now on, and depending on the requirement that you have imposed on yourself, those rings will be much simpler or more complicated to close, so it would be good if we do not come up, lest later in the day to day we are down to the check that there is no human way to complete the three daily challenges that we have modified. -
Luxury Italian car brand Pininfarina is celebrating its 90th birthday with a $ 2.9 million limited-edition version of its Battista electric hyper car. The Battista Anniversario will be the most powerful road-legal Italian car ever made, according to the company. It will be so limited, in fact, that only five examples will be built - all by hand. Pininfarina will only build 150 examples of the Battista hyper car, including the five Anniversaries, with production set to start later in 2020. The Anniversary celebrates 90 years since Battista Farina set up the Pininfarina coachbuilder and design house. It was supposed to be unveiled at the Geneva Car Show, but the event was canceled because of the coronavirus outbreak. "My grandfather always had the vision that one day, there would be a stand-alone range of Pininfarina-branded cars," said Paolo Pininfarina, chairman of Pininfarina, at the company's headquarters near Turin, Italy. "The Battista Anniversario, named in his honor to mark 90 years of the Carrozzeria that he started, is a glorious way to link our past with the future of motoring." 'Faster than many race cars' Powered by four electric motors generating 1,900 horsepower, the Anniversary has a faster top speed than the regular Battista, increasing to 217 mph. The hyper car will accelerate from 0 to 300 kmh (186 mph) in less than 12 seconds, and will be faster than a current Formula 1 car in the sub-two second 0-100 kmh (62 mph) sprint. The Anniversary will also have a zero-emissions range of more than 310 miles, says the company. Each of the five cars will take several weeks to hand paint by the Pininfarina artists as the body is disassembled and reassembled three times. Former Formula One driver Nick Heidfeld has been testing the Battista and is impressed by what he's seen. "I have piloted the quickest road and race cars in the world. I've never driven anything as powerful as the Battista," the 42-year-old said. "The Battista is faster than many race cars, but it is not a pure racing machine. Driveability in all situations is its primary focus. We will now concentrate our time testing and developing Battista to deliver a car that's at the forefront of technological possibilities and innovation. "

Britain just gave a huge vote of confidence in the ability of offshore wind power to lead the world's pivot away from fossil fuels. In a speech Tuesday, Prime Minister Boris Johnson pledged that the United Kingdom would generate enough electricity from offshore wind to power every UK home within a decade. The UK government also unveiled a new target for floating offshore wind to deliver 1 Gigawatt of energy by 2030. That's more than 15 times as much power as floating offshore wind currently generates worldwide, it said. The government promised £ 160 million ($ 207 million) to upgrade ports and infrastructure. Britain must "build back greener" from the coronavirus pandemic in order to accelerate progress towards a legally binding target to reach net zero emissions by 2050, Johnson said in a statement. Offshore wind has charged ahead this year even as support for other renewables waned amid a slump in global energy spending. Investment into offshore wind surged to $ 35 billion in the first half of this year, three times higher than the same period last year and well above the total for 2019, according to Bloomberg New Energy Finance. That more than offset investment declines in solar, onshore wind and biomass. Investment decisions were made on 28 sea-based wind farms, including off the Netherlands, Taiwan, the United Kingdom and France. A rush to finance and build offshore wind farms in China also boosted investment, according to Tom Harries, head of wind research at Bloomberg New Energy Finance. While offshore wind farms cost about twice as much to set up as onshore wind farms, they produce a lot more energy, said Tom Edwards, senior modeler at Cornwall Insight, a UK energy consultancy. That's because the wind turbines themselves can be a lot bigger, enabling them to capture more wind and at lower speeds, I have told CNN Business. Edwards expects that costs will decline further over time as development increases. Even BP (BP), one of the world's biggest oil companies, is moving into offshore wind. Last month the company unveiled a $ 1.1 billion investment into two US projects that have the potential to power more than 2 million American homes. In yet another sign of investor enthusiasm for the sector, NextEra Energy (NEE), America's largest renewable energy company, briefly surpassed oil giant Exxon Mobil (XOM) in market value last Friday, according to UBS. The Florida-based company calls itself the world's largest generator of wind and solar energy. "Offshore wind has huge potential to supply cheap, green energy to many nations, perhaps none more so than the United Kingdom," said Jess Ralston, analyst at the Energy and Climate Intelligence Unit, a non-profit. The International Energy Agency said in a report last year that offshore wind turbines could generate enough electricity to power every home and business on Earth, although they currently provide less than 1% of global power generation. The UK government's target to generate 40 Gigawatts of electricity from offshore wind by 2030, while ambitious, is likely necessary, Ralston added, given that its own advisers say that 75 Gigawatts may be needed from offshore wind to achieve net zero carbon emissions by 2050. That's because electrifying the heating and transport systems, both critical to a low-carbon future, will involve a doubling of the electricity demand. By far the biggest threat to Britain's 2050 ambition comes from the gas heating that keeps the vast majority of its nearly 30 million homes, schools and hospitals warm. While natural gas emits less carbon than coal, the United Kingdom's heavy dependence on the fossil fuel is deemed unsustainable. "We need to produce a lot of electricity [to run a low-carbon system]. The best way to do this is with offshore wind," said Edwards.

President Donald Trump's physician, Navy Cmdr Dr. Sean Conley, held a second medical briefing that again raised more questions than answers about the President's condition. In another jarring news conference on Sunday, Trump's doctors said that even though the President has had at least two concerning drops in oxygen levels, they are hoping he could be discharged as early as tomorrow from Walter Reed National Military Medical Center. Conley and other doctors involved in the President's care offered some more information about the President's condition - but there were still significant gaps that made it hard to decipher the full picture. Conley failed to answer basic questions about the President's condition and admitted that he had omitted those alarming drops in the President's oxygen levels during a news conference Saturday because he wanted to "reflect the upbeat attitude" that the team and the President had about his condition and didn't want "to give any information that might steer the course of illness in another direction." Conley acknowledged that his evasive answers "came off that we were trying to hide something" but said that "wasn't necessarily true," adding that the President is "doing really well" and is responding to treatment. During the briefing Sunday, Conley acknowledged that the President has experienced "two episodes of transient drops in his oxygen saturation" and said the team debated the reasons for that and whether to intervene. He said the President was given supplemental oxygen and has also been treated with the steroid dexamethasone, and his current blood oxygen level is 98%. But Conley refused to say how low the President's blood oxygen levels had dropped. When asked if they had dropped below 90, he replied, "We don't have any recordings here of that." Pressed again on whether they had dropped below 90, Conley said the President's blood oxygen levels didn't get down into "the low 80s." He offered no detail about what X-rays or CT scans have shown about whether there has been any damage to the President's lungs. "There's some expected findings, but nothing of any major clinical concern," Conley said, not explaining whether they were expected findings in a normal patient or a Covid-19 patient. Some seven months into a pandemic that has killed more than 209,000 Americans, the nation is now facing a grave governing crisis with its commander in chief hospitalized - his condition hinging on his progress over the coming days - as the White House events of the past week serve as a textbook example of how not to handle a deadly virus. Late Saturday night, the public learned new details about why Trump was airlifted to the hospital Friday, when chief of staff Mark Meadows said during an interview with Fox News that Trump had a fever on Friday morning and his oxygen level had "dropped rapidly." Meadows added that Trump has made "unbelievable improvements from yesterday morning." A memo from Trump's physician earlier Saturday night said that Trump had "made substantial progress" since his diagnosis but "is not yet out of the woods." Speaking from a White House that already has a huge credibility problem with the public, Meadows' statement capped a 24-hour period that served as a master class in opacity and contradiction that raised major questions about the President's health - and renewed questions about this administration's ability to tell the truth. Trump has been watching and critiquing coverage of his hospitalization from the presidential suite at Walter Reed and has been agitated at what he claims are exaggerated descriptions of his condition, people familiar with the matter said. Those people told CNN that Trump seemed particularly upset when he saw a quote saying he was displaying "concerning" symptoms on Friday attributed to a person familiar with his health but later assigned by the New York Times and Associated Press to Meadows. The comment about the President's vitals hinted that his condition was more worrisome than his doctors let on. But the President's aversion to appearing weak and sick is now what is driving the effort to project resolve, including a video he tweeted from Walter Reed on Saturday, the photos released by the White House of him working and the multiple accounts of phone calls where he sounded strong by his allies and family members. For much of this year, Trump has spun an alternate reality about the dangers of coronavirus - disputing science and the efficacy of masks, downplaying the risks to the American people, and making false statements about how 99% of coronavirus cases in America are "totally harmless "or that the virus" affects virtually nobody. " He encouraged his aides and advisers to live in that dangerous fantasy land, pushing his luck to the limits as late as this past week when he again recklessly gathered thousands of unmasked Americans at his political rallies and packed the top officials in government into a Rose Garden ceremony for his Supreme Court nominee. All the while, White House officials embraced the fallacy that administering rapid coronavirus tests frequently at the White House could provide a shield of immunity. The President's construct crumbled Friday when he was airlifted to Walter Reed after contracting the virus, while many aides, advisers and allies were testing positive for Covid-19 after interacting with him over the past week. The White House seemed to be continuing to downplay concerns about the severity of the virus Saturday morning when the President's physician, Navy Cmdr. Dr. Sean Conley, gave a news conference at Walter Reed where he described the President as upbeat and feeling good, without revealing any of the alarming developments with his oxygen levels the day before.

When President Donald Trump stepped into the dining room of his golf club in New Jersey on Thursday, high-dollar attendees gathered for a fundraiser there thought he seemed a little off. Subdued from a week of campaigning, maybe. Hoarse from a string of large rallies. Perhaps a little pale underneath the crystal chandeliers. "Exhausted," described one person who saw him. Little could those guests know that the tired-sounding man sitting across the white brocade tablecloth would test positive, hours later, for coronavirus. Nor were they aware that before he arrived, both Trump and his senior aides received information suggesting he could have been exposed - and therefore could be contagious. Like usual, the President wasn't wearing a mask. Trump's positive diagnosis, announced in a tweet during the small hours on Friday morning only after word leaked his top aide Hope Hicks had become infected, has thrown the nation's leadership into tumult and sent the capital scrambling to determine who else. Questions of government continuity arose in ways they haven't in years; Trump's diagnosis amounted to the most serious health threat to an American president since the non-fatal shooting of President Ronald Reagan in 1981. Suffering only "mild" symptoms, according to the White House - which include a fever, a person familiar with the matter said - Trump alternated Friday between upbeat entreaties to aides to go about business as usual and more worried-sounding brooding about his health, according to a person familiar with the matter. He canceled all of his upcoming campaign travel and failed to appear for a scheduled phone call midday with state and local officials to discuss the impact of the pandemic on vulnerable senior citizens. "I know many of you were expecting to hear from President Trump today, but as I'm sure you are all aware, President Trump and the first lady tested positive for Covid-19," Vice President Mike Pence, acting in his stead, told the officials. In a memo Friday afternoon, Trump's physician wrote that he "remains fatigued but in good spirits." He said Trump had been administered a Regeneron polyclonal antibody cocktail and has been taking zinc, vitamin D, famotidine, melatonin and a daily aspirin. The decision to give Trump an experimental monoclonal antibody cocktail is a sign of how concerned the White House may be by the diagnosis, Dr. Jonathan Reiner, a CNN medical analyst and professor at George Washington University, said. The story of how Trump contracted coronavirus was still being learned on Friday as aides hurriedly tried to trace who he'd been in contact with and whether they themselves might be contagious. At 74-years-old, clinically obese and with known heart ailments, Trump himself fits within a high-risk category. Yet taken in the broader scope, the origins of Trump's diagnosis seemed clear. Long derisive of the very mitigation measures recommended by his own administration, Trump himself has mused privately that catching coronavirus is something he was willing to risk if it meant going about his normal routine, people familiar with the conversations said. His positive test was a sharp reminder of the still-devastating pandemic that continues to grip the country, even though Trump insists the end is near. For a President and White House apparently intent on disregarding the scientific advice of the administration's own health advisers, it was a sudden glimpse of a reality the rest of the nation has been experiencing for months, even if that reality has been denied at the highest levels of government.

The first masks arrived on the White House grounds in February by special order of the National Security Council, mobilizing early on to address the emerging threat of the coming coronavirus. Job One in their emergency response was to take personal precautions, preparing for the critical work at hand, multiple officials tell CNN. But word that some NSC staffers were being told to wear masks quickly made its way back to the West Wing and it wasn't long before a sharp dictum came down. "If you have the whole West Wing running around wearing masks, it wasn't a good look," one administration official recalled of the directive that came down from senior staff and lawyers. The West Wing wanted to "portray confidence and make the public believe there was absolutely nothing to worry about," the official said, revealing the image-conscious reason for the opposition to masks for the first time. The directive opened a schism in the White House complex that would ultimately hinder its ability to contain the spread of the new virus they were now calling Covid-19. Interviews with more than a dozen current and former administration officials show how that fissure appeared and spread even as confirmed cases in the US began to grow. The officials all requested anonymity either because they were not authorized to discuss the matter or because they were sharing private conversations with people currently in the administration. But they tell a consistent story of how White House attempts to deal with the virus were dogged by President Donald Trump's fixation on one thing: optics. The ensuing disaster has now claimed the lives of more than 200,000 Americans in what may be the most politicized health crisis of the modern presidency. The radical polarization that now grips the country traces back to the very first workplace where it really sank in, at the West Wing of the White House. White House spokeswoman Sarah Matthews, addressing questions about this story, said that the President "took the virus seriously from the beginning, as evidenced by his administration taking early steps in January to protect the American people." It was Democrats and the media, she says, who were obsessing at the time - "over the partisan and futile impeachment trial." But several key officials tell a consistent and different story, about image management and the trouble it caused in pandemic response from the very beginning. "We lost so much time," a former administration official said, looking back. "The whole thing was mind-blowing. This could have been so different." From the outset, the President's political advisers were clearly thinking about optics. Almost from the beginning of the pandemic, their strategy was to cast the US infection rate in as favorable a light as possible - by comparing it to the rate in China, where the virus was born and already spreading wildly, several officials said. "The numbers mattered, from a political standpoint, because it just looks better," one former official recalled. Information concerning the virus first appeared in the President's daily intelligence briefing on January 3, but officials said it wasn't clear how closely he read the briefing. No immediate action was taken, they said. On January 6, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention issued a Level 1 travel notice for Wuhan, amid fears that the virus was spreading beyond its origin. The first-known case of coronavirus in the US was confirmed on January 20, but in the weeks prior to that revelation, the administration's China watchers had already been paying close attention to the evolving situation, and worried that proactive measures needed to be taken in order to ensure it never made its way to the US, several officials said. Yet when it came to announcing a big step forward in Trump's trade deal with China, a visit from Chinese government officials was deemed by the White House as far too important to let concerns over the virus get in the way. Three people told CNN that none of the Chinese delegates who attended the January 15 signing ceremony were tested before their arrival at the White House, nor do they believe that the topic of coronavirus was broached with the visiting delegation. More than 200 people were invited to the White House that day to witness the signing, including members of the Cabinet and American business leaders. The show went on, and coronavirus was an afterthought. Crammed into the East Room, maskless attendees sat elbow-to-elbow, cheering on what was viewed as a "historic" deal that could give Trump a boost in the polls come November. Trump, in the days following, would praise Chinese President Xi Jinping for his efforts toward containing the virus - praise that often evolved into a personal victory lap over the conclusion of the partial trade deal. But in retrospect, some officials felt the celebration was too great a risk. Trump "put his Cabinet in jeopardy, and the 200 American business leaders who were there that day," said one former administration official briefed on discussions that took place that day. "The Chinese put us in danger by coming here. But the President never uses that line against them because he doesn't want to contest his precious Phase One accomplishment." At that same time, officials say the West Wing had its mind elsewhere. The Senate impeachment trial began just one day after the President's White House trade ceremony, and his political team was already looking ahead to his reelection bid. They were mainly hoping to make it through the year without any unexpected crises. But then, a few positive coronavirus cases were confirmed in the US toward late January. West Wing staff often told others in the administration that this was nothing to worry about, one former official said. "'This isn't a big deal,'" the official, who, like the others, was concerned about this policy while supportive of others said, recalling how colleagues discussed it. "'America is lowest on the list of places. Look at all these other countries doing a bad job. We're doing a great job in America. We're safe. We've got the best doctors in the world. Our borders are secure, 'et cetera. " In internal White House meetings, staffers were repeatedly being told that the virus had been "contained" because there were only 15 cases.
