Wuhan virus 2020

Na bitte, geht doch:

two conditions I said must be fulfilled that I would consider to use any Corona warning app: data had to be temporarily stored on contacted smartphones only, and no centralised storage on external servers taking place, and second the source code had to be published so that external computer experts could check it for abuse options, backdoors, etc. The state already had failed with the central data storage and fell back, saying weeks ago this strategy for centralised storage would not be followed anymore, and today Telekom reports the source code had been fully published today, they already got feedback and suggestions from 65 thousand hobby and professional coders, they said.



The app should be available later in June. France already has one in ction - and it gets heavily criticised, said to be unreliable and has centralised data storage beyond transparency of control by the public (whose data get stored here).


If the CCC experts, for example, say it is good, I am willing to use it.

Spain has recorded its lowest number of new infections in almost three months, with 96 new cases reported on Sunday. Just two deaths were recorded.

By comparison the UK recorded 1,936 new confirmed cases and 113 deaths today. In Italy the numbers were 355 infections and 75 deaths.

There was positive news in Poland as the country recorded the fewest coronavirus infections in two months.
Sunday's figures released by the health ministry show there were 219 new cases recorded, down from 416 on Saturday.
The number of virus-related deaths fell to three from 10 on Saturday. The total number of cases so far is 23,786 with 1,064 deaths.

South Africa has had one of the world's toughest coronavirus lockdowns - people have even been barred from buying alcohol.

Pope Francis said on Sunday that healing people was "more important" than the economy, as countries around the world continue to ease lockdown restrictions.

Afghanistan's public health ministry is warning of an impending catastrophe as confirmed coronavirus cases pass 15,000

Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez has requested a "final extension" to the country's state of emergency "to finish with the pandemic once and for all"

It's Covid-19 Related.

This is way too hilarious.

Now, a company is offering a solution to this non-existent threat. For just a few hundreds of dollars, you can get protection in the form of a USB stick with a sticker on it. The company, 5GBioShield, has revealed its "first to market full-spectrum protection" system for "remediation against all harmful radiation, electro-smog, and biohazard pollution", also known as a data stick that's a bit shiny.

Clever in a way, taking advantage of peoples conspiratorial fear.

So how many did you buy, Markus?

The correct question would be
So how many have you sold Markus?

A lot, incredible there was so many who believe in this
Soon I can buy this island.

Flinders University Professor Nikolai Petrovsky has completed a scientific study, currently undergoing peer review, in conjunction with La Trobe University in Victoria, which found COVID-19 was uniquely adapted for transmission to humans, far more than any other animal, including bats. Professor Petrovsky, from the College of Medicine and Public Health at Flinders University who has spent the past 20 years developing vaccines against pandemic influenza, Ebola and animal SARS, said this highly unusual finding left open the possibility that the virus leaked from a laboratory. “The two possibilities which I think are both still open is that it was a chance transmission of a virus from an as yet unidentified animal to human. The other possibility is that it was an accidental release of the virus from a laboratory,” he said. “Certainly we can’t exclude the possibility that this came from a laboratory experiment rather than from an animal. They are both open possibilities.” Professor Petrovsky, who is the Chairman and Research Director of Vaxine Pty Ltd, said COVID-19 has genetic elements similar to bat coronaviruses as well as other coronaviruses. The way coronavirus enters human cells is by binding to a protein on the surface of lung-cells called ACE2. The study showed the virus bound more tightly to human-ACE2 than to any of the other animals they tested. “It was like it was designed to infect humans,” he said. “One of the possibilities is that an animal host was infected by two coronaviruses at the same time and COVID-19 is the progeny of that interaction between the two viruses. “The same process can happen in a petri-dish. If you have cells in culture and you have human cells in that culture which the viruses are infecting, then if there are two viruses in that dish, they can swap genetic information and you can accidentally or deliberately create a whole third new virus out of that system. “In other words COVID-19 could have been created from that recombination event in an animal host or it could have occurred in a cell-culture experiment.” Professor Petrovsky was originally modelling the virus in January to prepare a vaccine candidate. He then turned his attention to “explore what animal species might have been involved in the transmission to humans” to understand the origins of the virus - and had a “surprising” result when none were well-adapted. “We found that the COVID-19 virus was particularly well-adapted to bind to human cells and that was far superior to its ability to bind to the cells of any other animal species which is quite unusual because typically when a virus is well-adapted to an animal and then it by chance crosses to a human, typically, you would expect it to have lower-binding to human cells than to the original host animal. We found the opposite so that was a big surprise,” he said. Scientists worldwide have, to date, overwhelmingly said the virus was more likely originated in a wet-market and was not created in a laboratory. Even the United States Office of National Intelligence ruled out COVID-19 being created in a laboratory. Asked why scientists have had this view, Professor Petrovsky said scientists “try not to be political” and do not want their research impacted adversely by tighter laboratory controls. “We just try to base our findings on facts rather than taking particular political positions but sometimes obviously the alternatives may have unintended consequences,” he said. “For instance, if it was to turn out that this virus may have come about because of an accidental lab release that would have implications for how we do viral research in laboratories all around the world which could make doing research much harder. “So I think the inclination of virus researchers would be to presume that it came from an animal until proven otherwise because that would have less ramifications for how we are able to do research in the future. The alternative obviously has quite major implications for science and science on viruses, not just obviously political ramifications which we’re all well aware of.” Professor Petrovsky said an inquiry needs to start straight away, not when the pandemic is finished. “The idea of putting it off to the pandemic is over, it would be a mistake,” he said. “I’m certainly very much in favour of a scientific investigation. It’s only objective should be to get to the bottom of how did this pandemic happen and how do we prevent a future pandemic…. not to have a witch-hunt.”

Some pupils are returning to primary schools in England but many will stay at home.

Other measures are also being eased in England - there are fears steps are being taken too quickly.

Many European countries are lifting restrictions further - some even opening cafes, museums and cinemas.

South Africans can buy alcohol for the first time in two months but the reopening of schools is delayed.

The Philippine capital Manila, home to 12 million people, has exited a lockdown in place since mid-March.

The number of confirmed cases in Brazil passes half a million.

Globally, there have been 6.1m confirmed cases and 371,000 deaths linked to Covid-19

What's going to happen June 15th to the black and brown and white numbers?

Will the new sick people admit they were the protesters?

Aerosol transmission of viruses must be acknowledged as a key factor leading to the spread of infectious respiratory diseases. Evidence suggests that SARS-CoV-2 is silently spreading in aerosols exhaled by highly contagious infected individuals with no symptoms. Owing to their smaller size, aerosols may lead to higher severity of COVID-19 because virus-containing aerosols penetrate more deeply into the lungs. It is essential that control measures be introduced to reduce aerosol transmission.
