The World Health Organization said the British public should exercise care when handling potentially infectious banknotes. Asked whether banknotes could be spreading coronavirus, a WHO spokesman replied: "Yes it's possible and it's a good question. We know that money changes hands frequently and can pick up all sorts of bacteria and viruses and things like that.
"We would advise people to wash their hands after handling banknotes, and avoid touching their face. … When possible it's a good idea to use contactless payments."

How to Make Money in Your Sleep - The New York Times
Many fledgling creators dream of waking up to viral fame and riches. Now that dream is beginning to look a lot like reality.
What most users hope to gain from these sleep-streams are followers. "Overnight my video blew up, and I got over 6,000 new followers," said Oscar Reyes , 18. "After I stopped the stream I lost followers, so I don't know if people were just following for the stream, but I grew substantially. I went from 12,000 to 18,600 followers."
How will coronavirus hit money, pensions and property prices? | Money | The Guardian
The conventional wisdom in the pensions and investment industry is that you should sit tight. Jason Hollands of advisers Tilney says: "Now is the time for investors to exercise nerves of steel and to avoid the temptation to kneejerk sell long-term investments in reaction to short-term turmoil; in so doing they will just crystallise losses.
Note that most pension funds are invested in a mix of shares, government and corporate bonds, and property. While share values are down, the government bonds have generally gone up, so a 10% fall in the FTSE equates to a fall of only 6% in your pension.
DCPS: Audit reveals 'accounting issues,' not 'mismanaged money'
JACKSONVILLE — In a recent audit by the State of Florida, the Auditor General found instances where the Duval County Public School District spent money it shouldn't have or put money in the wrong place.
However, in an Action News Jax exclusive interview, a representative for the district said this was a misunderstanding.
Action News Jax investigator Meghan Moriarty had a one-on-one interview with Tracey Pierce, chief marketing and communications director with DCPS.

ProBeat: Waymo money, Waymo problems | VentureBeat
Waymo, Alphabet's autonomous vehicles division that spun out of Google in December 2016, this week raised $2.25 billion . Yes, that's billion with a B. It's a big deal not just because of the massive amount. This is Waymo's first external investment round. That suggests a few things.
First, Alphabet's Other Bets need more money than its parent company is willing to give ( Verily raised $1 billion last year). Second, Alphabet is clearly doubling down on Waymo — as opposed to folding it back into Google (like Nest and Chronicle ). And most importantly, the round means that the world's leading self-driving car company is nowhere near ready for mass production.
Maine needs more money for roads. Drivers should be the first to pay more.
There's no disagreement in Augusta that Maine needs to spend more money to maintain and repair its roads. There is, however, little agreement on where that money should come from.
A guiding principle in this debate should be that funds devoted to transportation infrastructure should come primarily from the users of that infrastructure.
That's the idea behind the state's highway fund , a pot of money that is meant, under language in the state Constitution , to be used for highway needs. So, logically, if the state does not have enough money to pay for needed road repairs and improvements, it needs to first put more money into the highway fund. The most direct way to do this is to raise more revenue from the major sources of highway fund money — fuel taxes and vehicle registration fees.

Budget advances with money for flood repairs, rural housing; privatization concerns aired |
Money for flood repairs and rural housing are among major expenditures in a budget the Legislature's Appropriations Committee is recommending. And concern over privatizing prisons and youth treatment centers is holding up a bill supporters say will save taxpayers money.
The current state budget, calling for $9.4 billion in spending over this and the next fiscal year, was adopted last year. Friday, the Legislature's Appropriations Committee unanimously recommended adding about $57 million, or a little over half a percent, to that total.
