The coronavirus outbreak has dealt a harsh blow to the operations of many businesses and industries in the U.S., but the construction industry doesn’t appear to be among them.

The Trump administration on Monday extended its social distancing guidelines until April 30, and numerous states have issued stay-at-home or shelter-in-place orders, effectively shuttering all businesses deemed non-essential. 

But while these measures have resulted in the closure of restaurants, bars and other leisure activities, construction work has continued in many parts of the country.

For example, in California – the first state to issue a statewide shelter-in-place order – workers involved with construction, operation, inspection and maintenance of “construction sites and construction projects (including housing construction) [and] critical or strategic infrastructure” have been labeled essential.

Likewise, Washington, D.C., deemed “construction and building trades” as essential, but rolled out an additional set of guidelines for construction sites. Contractors and companies must provide soap and running water or hand sanitizer at all job sites, workers must engage in social distancing and abide by the large gathering ban (no more than 10 people in an enclosed space).

The guidelines also advise that personal protective equipment (PPE) “be preserved and used only when necessary.” Construction workers often use PPE such as N95 masks when working at hazardous sites. N95 are one of the products that are critical for health professionals to have when treating COVID-19 patients. In recent weeks, Vice President Pence, who’s leading the White House’s coronavirus task force, asked construction companies to stop ordering N95s and to donate what they could to their local hospitals.

D.C.’s neighbors, Maryland and Virginia, have similar stay-at-home orders in effect, but didn’t explicitly label construction work as either essential or non-essential.

Boston, on the other hand, suspended all regular work at construction sites two weeks ago, allowing only for emergency work approved by the city.

In New York, the epicenter of the virus in the U.S., construction deemed nonessential was halted; bridges, roads, transit facilities, utilities, hospitals, affordable housing, and homeless shelters were all categorized as essential.

Along the U.S.’s southern border, construction of the border wall has continued to move forward. Arizona, where the Trump administration recently announced it would be building over 90 miles of additional barrier, has almost 1,300 confirmed cases of COVID-19 and at least two dozen related deaths, according to the New York Times.

Arizona Gov. Doug Ducey (R) on Tuesday issued a stay-at-home order for Arizonans, but labeled construction work and necessary work done by the federal government as essential.

North America’s Building Trades Unions (NABTU), one of the country’s largest labor federations, came out in support of categorizing construction workers as essential.

“It is vital to sustain construction and maintenance on the sixteen critical physical and virtual infrastructure sectors identified by the Department of Homeland Security, as well as projects of regional and national significance,” NABTU president Sean McGarvey said.

“We support, and are providing guidance for, recommended health and safety job site precautions for construction workers, especially those building more hospital capacity in areas hardest hit by COVID-19,” he continued. “Pandemic or no pandemic, the health and safety of our members is always our number one priority on and off a job site.”

President TrumpDonald John TrumpDefense industrial base workers belong at home during this public health crisis Maduro pushes back on DOJ charges, calls Trump ‘racist cowboy’ House leaders hope to vote Friday on coronavirus stimulus MORE on Friday spoke with British Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who revealed earlier in the day that he tested positive for the coronavirus.

“The President thanked the Prime Minister for his close friendship and wished him a speedy recovery,” White House spokesman Judd Deere said in a statement.

The two leaders discussed international efforts to combat the coronavirus pandemic and boost the global economy, which has cratered as businesses around the world are closed in an effort to slow the spread of the disease.

“The two leaders also expressed optimism that the United States and the United Kingdom would emerge stronger than ever,” Deere said.

Johnson is the first major world leader known to have contracted the virus. The prime minister said in a video posted to social media that he would continue to work while self-isolating after developing mild symptoms. Johnson’s health secretary also tested positive for the virus.

The United Kingdom was among the last developed nations to impose strict measures to keep citizens in their homes to try to stop the virus from spreading. Johnson initially took a more laid back approach to the virus, telling reporters at a press conference earlier in the month that he had visited a hospital and shaken hands with coronavirus patients.

As the U.K. and nations around the world issue shelter-in-place orders and shutter nonessential businesses to combat the virus, Trump has spoken openly about hoping to get Americans back to work in some parts of the U.S. by Easter Sunday, which is less than three weeks away.

Many individual states in the U.S. have directed residents to stay at home and closed businesses and appear unlikely to yield to Trump’s preferred timeline.

The White House on Thursday outlined a project to map risk levels across the U.S. on a county-by-county basis to better assess which areas can ease back on social distancing measures. But the project will require significantly more testing and data, experts said, and the Trump administration is still dealing with shortages of supplies needed to conduct and process coronavirus tests.

“Republicans had a deal until Nancy Pelosi rode into town from her extended vacation,” Trump tweeted late Monday.

“The Democrats want the Virus to win? They are asking for things that have nothing to do with our great workers or companies,” Trump added. “They want Open Borders & Green New Deal. Republicans shouldn’t agree!”

Pelosi on Monday offered a preview of House Democrats’ sweeping economic proposal.  The package includes a host of provisions that have little chance of making it into the final package, including tax credits to promote green energy and mandatory emissions reductions for the airlines set to receive federal help.

“This is not about the ridiculous Green New Deal. It is about putting our great workers and companies BACK TO WORK!” Trump added in a follow-up tweet.

Pelosi said she intends to have the House return to Washington to vote on the package, but suggested that step might not be necessary if Senate negotiators can seal a deal that wins the support of her caucus.

Senate Republicans sent their $1 trillion bill to Democrats late last Thursday. Despite lengthy negotiations Friday and Saturday, the two sides were unable to come to a consensus, with Democrats saying that the initial bill was skewed in favor of large corporations and industries instead of individual American workers. 

The Senate since then has failed to advance the stimulus package twice.

Schumer (D-N.Y.) concurred, saying that he told Trump that they were “very, very close to an agreement.”

The pair said that the revised package would be in the ballpark of $2 trillion and would provide direct tax rebates to some Americans and hundreds of billions of dollars for both small businesses and industries that have been rocked by the virus, such as airlines. 

“We expect to have an agreement tomorrow morning. There’s still a few little differences. Neither of us think they’re in any way going to get in the way of the final agreement,” Schumer added.

The House has passed a resolution aimed at constraining President TrumpDonald John TrumpThe Hill’s Morning Report – Trump takes unexpected step to stem coronavirus Democrats start hinting Sanders should drop out Coronavirus disrupts presidential campaigns MORE’s ability to take military action against Iran, sending it to the president’s desk for his expected veto.

In a largely party-line 227-186 vote, the House approved the resolution that would direct the president to “terminate the use of United States Armed Forces for hostilities against” Iran unless Congress specifically authorizes it. Six Republicans voted for the measure.

The Senate passed the resolution in a 55-45 vote last month, with eight Republicans siding with Democrats to support it. Neither chamber of Congress is expected to have the votes to override Trump’s likely veto.

The passage of the resolution comes after tensions with Iran spiked earlier this year to the point where Washington and Iran appeared to be on the brink of war.

U.S.-Iran tensions have risen since Trump withdrew from the Iran nuclear deal in 2018 and reimposed harsh sanctions.

But hostility skyrocketed in early January with a U.S. drone strike that killed top Iranian Gen. Qassem Soleimani.

Iran responded with a rocket attack on two military bases in Iraq housing U.S. troops. More than 100 U.S. troops were later diagnosed with traumatic brain injuries caused by the attack.

Since the strikes, both sides have stepped back from the brink. But just before the House started voting Wednesday, the U.S. military confirmed that 15 rockets hit Camp Taji in Iraq, and several reports said that two Americans and a British service member were killed.

Officials have not placed blame for the attack, but suspicion immediately fell on Iran-backed militias that operate in Iraq.

During floor debate on the measure, some Republicans argued the resolution is no longer relevant.

“It orders the president to terminate hostilities against Iran. The problem is, for the other side, we are not engaged in hostilities in Iran,” McCaul said.

But supporters of the war powers resolution argued it is still necessary to assert Congress’ constitutional authority over declaring war.

“Congress doesn’t have to wait until the president alone decides to use military force again,” Engel said ahead of the vote. “Indeed, it’s our responsibility to do something. Because we know that tensions could flare up again at a moment’s notice, Iran has not been deterred as the administration promised.”

McCaul on Wednesday also attacked Democrats for bringing the resolution up for a vote while the nation is gripped by fear over coronavirus, arguing constituents he’s spoken to recently have asked about the virus and “were really not concerned about the war powers resolution.”

The Trump administration has defended the Soleimani strike as necessary to “reestablish deterrence” with Iran. Administration officials have also claimed, without providing evidence, that Soleimani was planning “imminent” attacks. 

Democrats have blasted the administration’s shifting explanations for the drone strike and failure to provide evidence on Soleimani’s alleged plots. 

The House previously passed a similar resolution in January a week after the Soleimani strike. The main difference between that measure and the one passed Wednesday is the type of resolution. The January resolution would not have had to get Trump’s signature, but that also raised questions about whether it would be binding.

The White House has threatened to veto the measure, saying it “fails to account for present reality.” Ahead of last month’s Senate vote on the resolution, Trump also urged senators to vote against by arguing it would “show weakness.”

A coalition of 150 travel and hospitality organizations is calling on Americans to take precaution about traveling while remaining rational on Tuesday.

The coalition said it’s in “daily” contact with public health authorities for the latest information.

“Health and government officials have continually assured the public that healthy Americans can ‘confidently travel in this country,’” the organizations said in a joint statement. “While it’s critically important to remain vigilant and take useful precautions in times like these, it’s equally important to make calm, rational and fact-based decisions.”

The coalition stressed that the coronavirus risk in the U.S. is low but older people and people with pre-existing health conditions should be more cautious.

“The latest expert guidance indicates that for the overwhelming majority, it’s OK to live, work, play and travel in the U.S. By seeking and heeding the latest expert guidance — which includes vigorous use of good health practices, similar to the preventive steps recommended for the seasonal flu — America’s communities will stay strong and continue to thrive,” the group said. 

It indicated that decisions to cancel travel and events, like the various conferences that have been canceled, are harmful to the U.S. economy.

The statement included the U.S. Travel Association, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, Airlines for America, the American Hotel and Lodging Association, the National Restaurant Association and the National Air Carrier Association, among others.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has recommended travelers avoid cruises and elderly people avoid long plane rides, among other forms of travel.

The U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the U.S. Travel Association, Airlines for America, the National Retail Federation and the American Hotel and Lodging Association held a press conference last week to discuss their respective industries’ response to the virus, stressing that Americans shouldn’t overreact.

There are at least 804 confirmed cases in the U.S. and 28 deaths, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

Sans doute un des plus grands films de SF de l’histoire du cinéma, Blade Runner est un film qu’on ne présente plus. En octobre prochain, le chef-d’oeuvre de Ridley Scott fêtera son 30e anniversaire, avec à la clé une nouvelle édition Ad-Hoc en Blu-ray, qui diffère sensiblement de la précédente. Il y a déjà une formidable bande-annonce, qui montre -s’il en était encore besoin- que le film n’a absolument pas vieilli. 30 ans, et pas une ride.

Il faut savoir que nous autres, malheureux français, n’avions eu droit en 2007 qu’à la version Final Cut en Blu-ray, accompagnée du sensationnel Making-of Dangerous Days; les cinq versions du film ayant été réservées à un coffret DVD. On espère vraiment que Warner France va corriger le tir pour la prochaine édition.

Disc 1 : Blu-ray de la version “Final Cut“

Disc 2 : Blu-ray des versions salles US, internationale et Director’s Cut. Le tout tenant grâce au procédé du “Seamless Branching”.

Disc 4 : DVD de la version “Final Cut”

Une copie Ultraviolet du film disponible en téléchargement.

Une nouvelle réplique du véhicule Spinner.

Un artbook de 72 pages : “l’art de Blade Runner”.

James Cameron avait déjà annoncé qu’il allait réaliser deux suites à son film de tous les records, Avatar. Le réalisateur vient de préciser que pendant cette période, il n’allait se consacrer qu’à ces projets, en exclusivité, et ne s’attaquerait à aucun autre film. Il en a profité pour faire une petite révélation…

De retour de ses aventures dans les profondeurs des océans, James Cameron est bien décidé à se remettre au travail et développer les suites qu’il souhaite donner au film Avatar, et qui ont déjà pris du retard. Normal lorsqu’on sait que le long-métrage a rapporté la coquette somme de 2,8 milliards de dollars à travers le monde. Mais au-delà des chiffres records, auxquels est habitué le réalisateur de Titanic et Terminator 2, James Cameron veut se plonger intégralement dans l’univers de Pandora et en explorer tous les recoins.

C’est en tout cas ce qu’il a affirmé dans un entretien au New York Times. «Je ne suis plus intéressé pour développer quoi que ce soit. Je suis dans le business d’Avatar. Point. C’est comme ça» a-t-il déclaré. Son objectif est simple: «Je vais réaliser Avatar 2, Avatar 3, peut-être Avatar 4 et je ne vais pas produire les films d’autres personnes. Cela ne m’intéresse pas de prendre des scripts». Cameron lâche au passage pour la première fois l’éventualité d’un quatrième opus à son film de science-fiction, les épisode 2 et 3 étant pour l’instant les seuls annoncés. Cet aspect exclusif peut paraître étonnant mais James Cameron s’en explique très simplement: «Tout ça sonne un peu restrictif mais je pense qu’avec l’univers d’Avatar, je peux dire tout ce que j’ai à dire et qui a besoin d’être dit, à propos de l’état du monde et de ce qui peut, selon moi, être fait. Et le faire tout en divertissant. Quant à tout ce que je ne pourrais pas y dire, je veux le dire à travers des documentaires».

Une sérénité et une sagesse que James Cameron a certainement muries, tout seul dans son petit sous-marin, en devenant le premier homme à descendre au plus profond de la fosse des Mariannes. Heureusement qu’il n’a pas songé à faire des suites à Titanic…

Au menu ce vendredi 6 juillet pour le 77ème anniversaire du Dalai Lama exilé depuis 1959 à Dharamsala, en Inde, deux séries de célébrations. Le matin dans le principal temple tibétain, et en soirée à l’Institut tibétain des arts du spectacle.

Toujours le même sourire. Et un visage radieux orné de jolies lunettes violettes. Le Dalaï Lama, personnage vénéré dans le monde entier fête aujourd’hui ses 77 ans. Une occasion de plus pour lui d’être joyeux.

Les fêtes en son honneur ont démarré ce 6 juillet dans l’Etat indien Himachal Pradesh. De nombreux ressortissants de cet État sont attendus aux cérémonies. Une manière de remercier la population de son soutien au Dalai Lama exilé depuis 1959, comme l’explique Tashi Phunstok, représentant du Comité d’Organisation de l’Administration centrale tibétaine. « Nous avons aussi invité le Premier ministre et des membres de l’administration locale pour l’occasion, mais nous n’avons pas encore reçu de réponse » ajoute-t-il. Pour l’occasion, les célébrations au temple tibérain feront même l’objet d’une diffusion en continu sur le web, à la fois en tibétain et en anglais.Mais certains devront pourtant tempérer leurs envies de célébrer. Selon Associated Press, des Tibétains exilés au Népal se sont vus bloquer par la police l’entrée d’une école où une fête d’anniversaire était donnée en ce grand jour. La raison officielle? Eviter de probables manifestations anti-chinoises envisagées par Laxmi Prasad Dhakal, chef de l’administration du district de Katmandou. Mais les autorités népalaises veulent faire croire en leur bonne volonté en autorisant les Tibétains exilés de célébrer… En privé.

Pour cette journée unique, des célébrations sont prévues dans le monde entier. A Paris, elles auront lieu dimanche 8 juillet à la pagode du Bois de Vincennes. Pour 12 euros, vous pouvez assister en matinée à la Prière de sang-sol, à plusieurs conférences et à un repas tibétain végétarien suivis, l’après-midi, d’une série de spectacles de chants et de danse, dont celle des Lions des Neiges… Serez-vous de la partie?

Le JDD publie aujourd’hui son top 50 de la popularité. Pour la neuvième année consécutive, Yannick Noah arrive en tête. Mais le sportif devrait se méfier de ses concurrents, Omar Sy et Jean Dujardin respectivement 2ème et 3ème.

Miroir, miroir, dis-moi qui est le plus populaire.Depuis quatre ans, la réponse est la même. Inlassablement, l’Ifop sacre Yanick Noah. Depuis sa victoire à Roland-Garros en 1983 et son tube de l’été 1991 Saga Africa, le public aurait pu se lasser. Mais c’est mal connaître le champion, trop habitué à s’accrocher à la première place. Le chanteur est partout. Lors de la campagne présidentielle, il n’a pas hésité à soutenir François Hollande en organisant un concert avant le meeting du Bourget. Depuis une semaine, les J.O. lui donnent encore une fois l’occasion de se mettre en avant. Consultant pour Radio France, il prend l’antenne tous les matins sur France Info et France Inter pour commenter les épreuves. «Yannick Noah s’impose en tout cas comme un poids lourd dans l’histoire du Top 50», explique au JDD Frédéric Dabi, directeur général adjoint de l’Ifop.

Mais derrière le colosse, les dauphins bondissent. Omar Sy et Jean Dujardin remontent peu à peu dans le classement, occupant les places confortables de deuxième et troisième. Les deux acteurs ayant bénéficié du succès de leurs films Intouchables et The Artist, imposent leur style sans complexe. Dans le JDD, Jean Dujardin reconnaît: «Rester un acteur populaire me rassure, me fait plaisir et me touche.» Il ajoute: «Tant que le public valide mes choix, je suis le plus heureux des hommes. Ou plutôt le plus heureux des acteurs.» Celui qui se décrit comme un «branleur» dans les colonnes du journal sait jouer de son sourire charmeur pour gagner des points. Car s’il est un domaine où l’acteur d’OSS 117 et celui du SAV battent Yannick Noah, c’est bien celui de l’humour. La crise profitant aux comiques, Gad Elmaleh se classe 4e, Florence Foresti 6e, juste devant Jamel Debbouze.

Les politiques aussi ont le droit à leur place dans le top 50. Et surprise, François Hollande passe de la 33e à la 15e place. Au jeu de la popularité, il bat Nicolas Sarkozy qui se trouvait en 25e position après son élection en 2007. Mais que le président ne se réjouisse pas trop vite. Le classement, réalisé avant les J.O., pourrait être très vite périmé. Teddy Riner, Tony Estanguet ou encore Camille Muffat pourraient prochainement s’inviter sur le podium. Sans oublier un autre Yannick (Agnel) qui volerait bien la médaille d’or à notre tennisman préféré.

Victoria y est et compte bien y rester. A Londres depuis la retraite de son mari, le footballeur David Beckham, Victoria B. ne compte pas s’expatrier à nouveau.

Certes elle a suivi son mari dans ses péripéties footballistiques, l’accompagnant en Espagne lors de sa sélection avec le Real Madrid de 2003 à 2007, ou encore en Italie pour le Milan AC, puis s’exilant aux Etats-Unis alors qu’il jouait pour les Los Angeles Galaxy. Une terre d’accueil pour la british qui a tout de suite trouvé ses marques dans la douceur californienne. Mais Victoria Beckham le crie désormais haut et fort: Londres est sa maison, elle s’y sent heureuse et ne veut pas la quitter.

«Je suis tellement heureuse d’être de retour à Londres, explique-t-elle au Daily Mail. Nous le sommes tous. Les enfants vont dans des écoles formidables, ils ont plein d’amis et notre famille habite à Londres.» Happy, mais plus encore fière d’être de retour chez elle, Posh l’affirme la main sur le cœur. «Nous sommes très fiers d’être anglais, poursuit-elle. Je voyage beaucoup, donc je suis influencée par plein d’endroits différents, mais je profite de Londres. Je travaille tous les jours et profite de ma famille. Londres est une ville formidable.»

Ceux que l’on appelle l’autre famille royale d’Angleterre – tant ils sont un poster pour la famille british chic par excellence -, se réjouissent donc de leur retour outre-Manche. Invités pour le mariage de Kate et William en avril 2011, David et Victoria profiteraient-ils de leur retour pour s’organiser des tea time avec le duc et la duchesse de Cambridge, dont ils ne tarissent pas d’éloges? Et qui sait, peut-être que le prince George succombera au charme d’Harper Seven, de deux ans son aînée? Victoria qui compte bien construire un empire mode a sûrement pensé à tout pour couronner son avenir (et celui de sa fille?) de succès.
