Wuhan virus 2020

When you need an article, you can't find it.

It was a Danish article in which they wrote WHO was supporting The Swedish Covid-19 politics and other countries should do the same.

When I read it, I was thinking...many have criticized Sweden for this.
Is WHO correct in this ?

Edit
found it and even so an English article

I think if we are to reach a new normal, Sweden represents a model if we wish to get back to a society in which we don’t have lockdowns,” Ryan said.

The WHO, like so many other UN departments, is deeply lobbyistic, corrupted and dominated by a few players in the background. In case of the WHO, that is China.



Maybe United Nations should be renamed into Universal Rot.



On Covid 19, the WHO was not ust weeks but months late in recoignising it as a pandemic, the WHO was absurd in its recommendatiosn and advices to the public, the WHO was incompetent, the WHO was delaying, the WHO was glossing over. And all that time and again, for weeks. I am sick and tired of their bull. Which fits nicely into my general view of all of the UN, and my opinion that bureaucratic monster organisations of the size like these are inefficient, a woin derful playgroudn for bribery and corruption, and a fantastic hideout for incompetent but overpaid networking career technocrats. I just do not trust nor beleive in supranational organisations, most of the time at least. They are bigger than big states, and I already do not like "big state".

I do not believe the bio weapon or the lab escape theory anymore. Due to the research done on the virus itself - and the results not indicating that such work was done on it.

May Day like no other for Europe

In France, it is usually a day of union marches when people buy lily of the valley from the local florists. But florists are shut, and instead people will bang on pots and pans on balconies, as they do every evening, and there will be online protests.

A three-hour live streamed protest is planned in Germany, although some mini-demos are planned in Berlin. One party leader, Christian Lindner, says it should be a day for jobs rather than Labour Day, as more than 10 million workers have signed up to a German state salary scheme.

Portugal's main union federation will hold events in 24 towns, but only union officials will attend.

Protesters in Greece have maintained social distancing with a rally outside parliament in Athens, defying the government's plea for the day to be postponed until 9 May.

In Austria, 1 May is the day for all shops, hairdressers and beauty salons to reopen, but most are likely to stay closed for the day.

May Day in Finland is normally a big deal, with communal picnics and rallies. Now it's all moved online with a broad array of political speeches going out instead on social media.

Italian President Sergio Mattarrella has given a May Day address. "There can be no Republic without work... Because work is a condition of freedom, dignity and autonomy for people."

New data released by the Office for National Statistics (ONS) shows that the rate of deaths involving Covid-19 is roughly twice as high in the most deprived areas of England and Wales than in the least deprived.

In a sign of the challenge post-lockdown life will pose for many countries, the head of the UK's biggest airport - Heathrow - has warned that introducing social distancing at airports is "physically impossible".

Every day, more cars are appearing on the roads of the Chinese capital, and residents are now starting to see a phenomenon which they’d not experienced for over three months… traffic jams.

The Czech Republic has launched its "smart quarantine" system of contact-tracing using a mobile phone app.

Iran's death toll from Covid-19 increased by 63 in the past 24 hours to 6,091, Reuters quotes health ministry spokesman Kianush Jahanpur as saying in a statement carried on state TV on Friday.

In France, the government has released a map on which it is basing its strategy of lifting the lockdown.
It shows the areas that have been worst-hit by the pandemic and where hospitals are under the most strain.
The regions are broken down into red, yellow and green, indicating which have been the worst affected.
The “green zones” will be able to lift some restrictions more rapidly, the government says.
There were 289 deaths in France on Thursday, bringing the total to 24,376.



Spain's coronavirus death toll rose to 24,824 on Friday as 281 more people died from causes related to the disease. The previous day's death toll was 268.
The country's health ministry added that the number of new Covid-19 cases rose to a total of 215,216 from 213,435 the day before.

The first professional tennis tournament of the Covid-19 era is set to begin on Friday in Germany.
The four-day Tennis Point series, in Koblenz, will be played without fans, line judges, ball girls and boys or handshakes, although it will be televised live.

The first train carrying migrant workers stranded by a nationwide lockdown in India has left the southern state of Telangana.
Some 1,200 workers are on the non-stop train to Jharkhand state in the east. Each carriage is carrying 54 passengers instead of the usual 72 to maintain social distancing, officials say.

Dozens of street performers and children’s entertainers protested on the streets of Mexico City on Thursday, demanding financial support from the government while they were out of work.
“Clowns need support” was one of the chants.

The majority of health workers in Kenya have been forced to reuse personal protective equipment (PPE), according to a study by Kenya Legal and Ethical Issues Network (Kelin).

Coronavirus to likely last two years, new report says

The coronavirus pandemic will likely not be controlled until two-thirds of the world’s population is immune to the disease and countries should be prepared “for possible periodic" outbreaks over the next two years, a new study said.

ARE COVID TOES A REAL SYMPTOM?

Bloomberg reported that a study from the Center for Infectious Disease Research at the University of Minnesota suggested that there are several reasons why COVID-19 containment will be so challenging. Among them is the theory that those not showing symptoms may be most infectious.

CLICK FOR THE LATEST ON THE CORONAVIRUS

It has been widely reported that without a proven treatment, vaccine or cure, governments will have to limit social interaction.

The coronavirus is considered highly contagious and most dangerous for the elderly population and those with comorbidities. Health officials in the U.S. believe that shelter-in-place orders contributed to a lower-than-expected infection rate.

I beleive that those will be shown right who claimed from very early on that this Corona virus will join the chorus of other Corona virusses and become integral part of the seasonal music that we have every year. It will not go away. We will just become more competent in handling it.



What we now need for a perfect doomsday recipe is another Corona wave meeting a one week power blackout. That could indeed catapult us back a century or so.



I think this is the big inherent risk of Covid 19. It leaves us so little room for handling other eventualities.

Downing Street says setting the target of 100,000 coronavirus tests per day had been “very effective” in increasing the capacity for the number of tests.
Health Secretary Matt Hancock is expected to reveal whether the government has met the target later today.
The most recent figures available for the 24 hours up to 09:00 BST on Thursday showed that 81,611 tests were provided in the UK, while the total testing capacity was 86,565.

Japan's Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has suggested he might extend the country's state of emergency by about a month.
Japan, with a population of 126 million, has had more than 14,000 cases and 430 deaths from Covid-19, according to Johns Hopkins University.

A politician in India has called for the immediate reopening of shops selling alcohol as a way to tackle the virus, even though the World Health Organization (WHO) has specifically warned against alcohol consumption as a means to stop it.
The WHO says alcohol does not offer any protection and could increase the risk of other health problems.
Alcohol-based sanitisers are recommended for hand cleaning, and these should contain at least 60% alcohol in order to be effective.

Some days ago I could read in a Danish article, that this Corona had killed more Americans than they lost in the Vietnam war.

(Maybe not nice to write)

Couldn't help thinking

WOW this little invincible bastard manage to kill more than 59000 American in 1½-2 month where it toke Vietcong and other anti-American forces several years to archive the same result.
