A team of Australian researchers may have found a cure for coronavirus with drugs already registered and available. Meanwhile, Wall Street wobbles after yesterday’s crash; an update on cancelled forestry and wood product events; why Americans are hoarding toilet paper; predictions of US housing market woes; and lumber dealers grapple with the fallout. In related news: Minister Donaldson says BC lumber exports are hampered at port of Prince Rupert, and Hampton Lumber closes its Tillamook mill for a day after employee falls ill.

In other News: the Huu-ay-aht First Nation takes majority ownership of Western Forest Product’s TFL 44; a new study on climate change’s impact on boreal plants; and hands-off forestry offers no protection for American forests.

Finally, Happy St. Patrick’s Day – a welcome distraction from the day’s news.
