I had a chat with my elder sister and she said whatever the cause of death is, if the victim was tested positive within in 30 days after the Corona test-The person count as a Corona victim.

This is how they do it.

For me it sounds like we can't rely on these daily Corona death rapport.

Well that's a definite 'NO' from me then.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak announces a new Job Support Scheme, starting in November.

It replaces the 'furlough scheme' and means the government will pay part of workers' wages who have lost hours.

The cut in VAT to 5% for the hospitality and tourism sector will be extended until 31 March.

Firms that took government loans during the crisis will have longer to pay them back.

Firms that deferred their VAT bill will no longer have to pay a lump sum in March.

About 2,500 students at a Swiss hospitality school have been placed in quarantine after a major outbreak following private parties.

Canada has announced an ambitious plan to create jobs and invest billions on healthcare, housing and childcare following the fallout from Covid.

Face masks are no longer mandatory on public transport in most of New Zealand as infections continue to drop.

See the obvious implications of this?

School, plus a party = outbreak of the virus

This corona thingy doesn't care who you are or what country you are from

It simply loves to multiply it's problems to you

The UK government has announced another 6,634 Covid-19 cases - that's an increase on Wednesday's figure, which was 6,178. They also said a further 40 people had died within 28 days of testing positive for Covid-19. That's up from 37 deaths announced on Wednesday.

People coming to England from Denmark, Iceland, Slovakia, and Curacao must now self-isolate for 14 days.

Europe is at a "decisive moment" with countries on the brink of national lockdowns, EU health official warns.

US President Donald Trump has said a move by the FDA to introduce stricter guidelines for coronavirus vaccines was "political"

This week, the coronavirus death toll surpassed 200,000 in the US, the highest number of fatalities in the world.

Another 870,000 Americans applied for unemployment benefits last week, as employers continue to lay off workers.

Iran's virus death toll has passed 25,000 as the country, the worst affected in the Middle East, sees a spike in cases.

Canada has announced an ambitious plan to create jobs and invest billions on healthcare, housing and childcare following the fallout from Covid.

So they locked up 2500 people because a few of them got sick, maybe at a party or maybe somewhere else?

Apparently. This virus can be beat but it takes drastic steps like that for what, another six months minimum? Yes, it's not nice, but let's get it beat first and then party. Short attention spans, instant gratification addicts and the like, are only making things worse than they need to be. If the world had really locked down collectively it would have been over by now, Trump would be a hero, etc.

Industries hit hard by the pandemic in the UK are facing further uncertainty with the government's new jobs scheme.

Hospitality, events and retail workers and businesses have expressed concern over job losses.

Chancellor Rishi Sunak said employees must be in "viable" jobs to benefit from the wage top-up scheme.

This means people working in industries currently closed, such as nightclubs, may lose out.

European health officials say further restrictions may be needed to curb a sharp rise in infections.

New, stricter rules are due to come into force later as Israel enters its second week of lockdown.

In hard-hit Brazil, the 2021 edition of the world-famous Rio carnival parade has been postponed indefinitely.

The number of daily infections in India has declined, with 86,052 new cases announced on Friday. According to the Associated Press news agency, the number of recoveries has overtaken daily infections this week. India has the second-highest number of infections in the world, with more than 5.8 million cases, but it is expected to overtake the US within the coming weeks. More than 92,000 deaths have also been recorded since the pandemic began.

Authorities in the Russian capital Moscow have told the elderly and people with chronic illnesses to remain at home from Monday amid a spike in cases. Mayor Sergei Sobyanin also recommended that as many people as possible work from home. More than 7,200 new cases were recorded in Russia on Friday, the highest figure since June. The country has seen more than 1.1 million cases and almost 20,000 deaths since the pandemic began, and there are fears of a new wave of infections.

More than 32 million virus cases have been confirmed globally with almost 983,000 deaths, according to Johns Hopkins University.

A henna party (Turkish pre-wedding party) with 46 women in the German town of Hamm has had dratsic consequences, because two of the women were Corona-infected. Now over 2800 people had to be quarantined. The city'S official are super-angry abpotu the ignorrance and mull the maximum of legal sanctions and also have filed lawsuits for fincial compensations.

The town already was under stricter Corona rules due to its infeciton rate beign over the criticla treshhold mark already before the 46 Turkish women imagined that they were not meant by that or had special rights that made them untouchable for the laws.

The infection rate in Hamm meanwhile has climbed by a factor of almost 1.5 . The people of Hamm say Thank you! The mayor is foaming, newspaper describe him as being "stinkwütend".

Its events like this why I think oif you have quarantine rule sin place, you have to enforce them by cdraconig pentlies in cas eof violation. Else it makes no sense.
Parties of a few people repeatedly have been the origin of huge infeciton numbers as a ncosnequence sove rhere. recently a female form the US stayiong ion Germany went partying although she was given and knew she had a Corona diagnosis. She now awaits a lawfile, and possibly could face prison and a bill of several thousand Euros.

There is no right to physical assault.

This must have been a very hard decision, but the right one
