Two men have been ar- rested and charged with con- spiring to commit arson. If convicted they face a manda- tory minimum of 5 years in federal prison.
According to the criminal complaints, Mawdo Malick Sallah, 33, of Clearwater, and Kirk Douglas John- son, 34, of Anderson, South Carolina are accused of set- ting explosions at several ATMs. They were arrested March 22, 2020, after setting off an explosion at an ATM in Watkinsville, Georgia.
They are being detained by the Oconee County, (Geor-
gia), Sheriff’s Office.
Sallah and Johnson are
alleged to have targeted ATM machines and set explosions at several ATMs in Florida, and one in Georgia, in an ef- fort to remove the cash from the machines.
In all, the two are accused of taking nearly $70,000 from explosions set at the ATMs in the Tampa Bay Area between November 2019 and January 2020. The ma- chine was damaged, but they were unsuccessful in obtain- ing any cash, officials said.
A trial date has not been set in the case.

The Chinese now under- stand the behavior of the COVID 19 virus.
Through autopsies they’ve learned that the virus is char- acterized by thick mucus ob- structing respiratory pathways that solidifies and blocks air- ways and lungs. In order to apply medicine and for treat- ment to work, you need to open the airways.
That can take several days, hence why those with underly- ing respiratory medical condi- tions and elders are at high risk of complications.
Recommendations to safe- guard yourself are:
1. Drink lots of hot liquids; coffee, tea, soups & warm water.
2. Take a sip of warm water every 20 minutes. This keeps your mouth moist and washes any of the virus that has en- tered your mouth and pushes it into your stomach where the gastric juices will neutralize it before it can get to the lungs.
3. Gargle with an antisep- tic in warm water such as salt, vinegar or lemon juice every day if possible.
4. The virus attaches itself
to hair and clothes. Any deter- gent or soap kills it. Take a shower immediately when coming from outside and shampoo your hair.
5. Wash metallic surfaces. The virus can remain viable on this surface for up to 9 days. When not in your home, wear gloves if possible to avoid touching hand rails, door knobs etc. if you can’t wear gloves or don’t have any, wash your hands immediately and then shower.
6. Regardless if you’ve gone outside, wash your hands every 20 minutes with soap that foams and do it for 20 seconds.
7. Eat fruits and vegeta- bles. Try to elevate your zinc levels.
8. Animals do NOT spread the virus to people. It’s person to person transmission.
9. Try to avoid eating and drinking too many cold things. 10. If you feel a sore throat coming on, gargle with anti- septic immediately. Do it every hour. The virus enters through the throat where it remains for 3-4 days before it passes to the
lungs.
