Coronavirus News (9)







Copied!! A detailed post to dismantle Jim O’Neill’s bigoted claim “thank god this didn’t start in India”. This will show how India has dealt with the treat of COVID-19 with far greater tenacity and firmness than ALMOST ALL countries.
  1. Firstly, despite sharing a border of 3,488 kilometres with China, India has only reported 78 cases and 1 death- compare that with 596 cases and 8 deaths in the UK.
  2. India is the only country in the world to evacuate its citizens 6 times (and counting) and evacuated the most number of foreign nationals.
  3. The Indian Air Force evacuated a total of 723 Indians, 37 foreign nationals from Wuhan. India evacuated 119 Indians and 5 foreign nationals from Japan. IAF also evacuated 58 Indian pilgrims from Iran on the 10th of March. Total: 900 Indians and 48 foreign nationals.
  4. India is leading the fight against COVID-19 in the South Asian region, offering diplomatic, humanitarian and medical assistance to its neighbours.
  5. A total of 56 Virus Research Diagnostic Laboratories (VRDLs) have been set up in India to test its citizens as well as foreign citizens in a record time, with a plan to build 56 more VRDLs in the next month. This insane level of efficiency hasn't caught the eye of the media.
  6. India currently has one of the world’s most efficient and reliable testing systems, reducing the time taken to get test results back from 12-14 hours to four hours. US health officials have admitted that their system is failing and has testing has been very sluggish
  7. As a result, from Iran, Afghanistan up to Timor Leste, countries in Asia have been requesting India to help set up testing facilities in their countries.
  8. India has sent 6 top scientists to set up a make-shift lab and testing facility in Iran to test 6000 of its citizens because Iranian officials refused to test Indians due to their high load. India plans to send 3 more airplanes in the next week to airlift its citizens.
  9. India has provided 15 tonnes of medical assistance comprising masks, gloves and other emergency medical equipment to China.
  10. India has sent Maldives a 14 member medical team comprising of pulmonologists, anaesthetists, physicians & lab technicians and also a large composite of COVID-19 medical relief to assist Maldives health authorities.
  11. India has screened 1,057,506 people from 30 airports and 77 seaports.
  12. India has suspended all visas to India as well as visa-free travel facility for OCI cardholders. It has closed its border with Myanmar. The Indian nationals coming from COVID-19 hit nations after 15 February will be quarantined for 14 days. This in contrast with the UK with far more cases but no quick action whatsoever.
  13. India has the world’s biggest state-sponsored health assurance scheme, covering over 500 million beneficiaries (approximately 8 times the size of the UK).
  14. Indian drug prices are among the cheapest in the world. Medbelle ranks India as one of the five countries with the lowest median prices for drugs around the world due to an elaborate price control mechanism for drugs and the government’s Jan Aushadi project to provide cheap affordable medicines to the poor.
  15. China had silenced the doctor who identified COVID-19 and he died 6 weeks later. China let this brew. On the other hand, when Nipah virus was found in India in 2018, 3 doctors identified it and authorities immediately reported it to WHO. 2000 quarantined and 17 died in total.
India would have NEVER allowed it to become a pandemic.

The Indian civilization, being one of the most advanced in the world, has been way ahead of its time with gifting the world the Namaste- which is now propagated by every world leader. Ancient India idealised vegetarianism.

and expounded Ayurveda, and as a result, did not come in contact with any serious threat from plagues/ diseases in its millenniums of existence. India NEVER created any pandemic in the history of its existence.

You are highly misinformed, Mr. O’Neill.

Give the credit where it's due!!

20 Pictures That Show How Differently Americans Are Dealing With Coronavirus Compared To The Rest Of The World





The UK Only Realised "In The Last Few Days" That Its Coronavirus Strategy Would "Likely Result In Hundreds of Thousands of Deaths" Scientists advising the government say an aggressive new approach adopted to attempt to "suppress" the virus may have to be in place for 18 months. ..... the strategy previously being pursued by the government — dubbed "mitigation" and involving home isolation of suspect cases and their family members but not including restrictions on wider society — would "likely result in hundreds of thousands of deaths and health systems (most notably intensive care units) being overwhelmed many times over". ....... predicted as many as 250,000 deaths in Britain. ........ "We therefore conclude that epidemic suppression is the only viable strategy at the current time." ..... A suppression strategy, along the lines of the approach adopted by the Chinese authorities, "aims to reverse epidemic growth, reducing case numbers to low levels and maintaining that situation indefinitely". ....... requires "a combination of social distancing of the entire population, home isolation of cases and household quarantine of their family members", and "may need to be supplemented by school and university closures". ....... An "intensive intervention package" will have to be "maintained until a vaccine becomes available (potentially 18 months or more)", the report said, painting an extraordinary picture of what life could be like in the UK for the next year and a half. ........

Everyone in the UK should now stop "non-essential contact" with other people and avoid pubs, clubs, cinemas, and theatres to slow the spread of the coronavirus ... Families have also been urged to stay at home together for 14 days if any member is showing symptoms of the virus — a new, continuous cough or a fever.

....... “This is a very fast-moving situation.



Trump finds his MAGA movement fracturing over coronavirus The president’s red-capped followers were united against a socialist candidate. And they had economic winds at their backs to propel Trump toward reelection. Now everything is suddenly scrambled. ........... On one side are those like Bill Mitchell, who dismiss it as nothing worse than the flu, and the drive to eradicate it as “climate change 2.0” — as in, a media-lefty mass hysteria. ...... the message among his supporters is increasingly unanimous: If Trump fails to control the virus, prevent its spread and prove his leadership, much less save the economy, he will lose the election and cripple his movement. ....... Sean Hannity, called it “fear-mongering by the deep state.” ........ “80 percent of these cases are mild, meaning you get common cold, like people are recovering. I just don't see the need for all the panic,” said Students for Trump founder Ryan Fournier .........

the rapid flip on the right from triumphal unity to existential terror happened in less than two weeks.

....... over the next two weeks, that future shattered with the one-two punch of Joe Biden trouncing every candidate during the next 22 primaries, placing Sanders' campaign on death watch, and the sudden, complete shutdown of Italy over coronavirus fears ..........

“Trump was comparing flu statistics to coronavirus statistics”

........... “And if it looks like he tried to save the economy at the expense of the public health aspect of it — if voters think that’s what he did, and also he failed at both — then yeah, you can imagine that it’s absolutely a real threat to his reelection. And again, he doesn't have Bernie to lean back on.”

The best thing everyday Americans can do to fight coronavirus? #StayHome, save lives
Globalists May Soon Become an Extinct Species The disruptions caused by the spread of the coronavirus mean supply chains will be moved closer to home rather than in foreign lands. ............ the theory first articulated by Englishman David Ricardo (1773-1823) that free trade among nations benefits all of them. He argued for the comparative advantage of free trade and industrial specialization. Even if one country is more competitive in every area than its trading partners, that nation should only concentrate on the areas in which it has the greatest competitive advantage. He used the example of English-produced wool being traded for French wine—and not the reverse. .............. But Ricardo’s simple trade model requires economies in static equilibrium with full employment and neither trade surpluses nor deficits, and similar living standards. These aren’t true in the real world. Also, Ricardo didn’t consider countries at different stages of economic development and different degrees of economic and political freedom, or exchange rate manipulations and competitive devaluations since gold was universal money in his day. ......... Ricardo also didn’t factor in trading partners with huge wage differences such as the U.S. and China. As a result, China can produce almost any manufactured good cheaper than America. ........ The coronavirus’s disruption of supply chains not only unhinges U.S. imports but also raises national security concerns. China is the world’s biggest supplier of active pharmaceutical ingredients and the Indian generic drug industry, which the Food and Drug Administration says supplies 40% of U.S. generic drugs, relies on China for most of its active ingredients. ........ As in the 1930s, the economy-depressing effects of trade barriers will dominate.

Time For Universal Basic Income Has Arrived

The only known way to contain the virus is through large scale (read: total) social distancing. Basically, the global population needs to take two months off. That will be two months of substantially lower economic activity. Most people work in jobs where if you don't show up for work, you don't get paid. Most people do not have enough savings that they could simply go on living for two months without working.

And you can't inject cash one place, and expect it to work. Say, you do see the light and inject cash in China. But if you don't do the same in the US, China is not going to see the demand it needs. The solution can not be this or that country, or a few countries. The only real solution is global. This is not just about every country, this is about every human being.

And if there is delay, it is not going to work. The cash injection, to work, has to be immediate. People need cash now, not two months from now. If the world waits two months, the damage will already have been done. People will not have jobs to go back to. A massive slump in demand over a two month period will have had lasting damaging effects already. And then you will not only have people who don't have cash to buy basic necessities, you will also have companies that have gone belly up, and can not hire back all those who had no choice but to stay home.

Inject. Cash. Now.

It has to be $100 per month per person over at least three months. That has to be the floor. And it can go up for countries where the purchasing power of that $100 is not enough to sustain. For example, in the US that could be $1,000.



No one country could do this alone. All countries have to do this together. This immediate injection of cash is the least expensive way to deal with the global economic downturn.

Coronavirus News (7)



Coronavirus: China’s economy suffers dramatic collapse in January, February in warning to rest of world industrial production – a measure of manufacturing, mining and utilities activity – declined by 13.5 per cent over the first two months of the year ........ the numbers were well below expectations of a 3.0 per cent decline. ....... Retail sales, a key metric of consumption in the world’s second largest economy, fell by 20.5 per cent, again the first decline on record. ..... Fixed asset investment – a gauge of expenditure on items including infrastructure, property, machinery and equipment – collapsed by 24.5 per cent, much worse than analysts’ predictions of minus 2.0 per cent. ....... a prolonged containment effort that left hundreds of millions of people unable to return to work ....... the US Federal Reserve cutting interest rates to near zero, as well as announcing that it would embark on a new round of quantitative easing. ....... Global markets shrugged off the cut, suggesting that more creative policy measures may be required to arrest the prospect of a recession. ........ manufacturing output alone had slumped by 15.7 per cent over January and February, while investment in the sector fell by a massive 31.5 per cent. .......

Ultimately the global economic shock from Covid-19 needs a global response

As coronavirus recession threatens, economists recommend cash for people High on that list: Giving money directly to people — fast. ...... any prolonged downturn fueled by the coronavirus is likely to be caused by something more basic than the financial bubble that led to the post-housing crash slump and recessions: A sharp decline in consumer spending, which accounts for roughly two-thirds of economic activity. ....... As more people practice the "social distancing" measures that health authorities recommend, they are canceling trips and staying in more, slowing the economy. That means as the number of coronavirus cases grows, its economic effects could escalate quickly. ....... He was less enthusiastic about other reported fixes, such as tax breaks or targeted industry bailouts........

send $1,000 to every individual, and an additional $500 per child.

...... Other countries affected by the coronavirus are directing money to their citizens to lighten the economic blow. China is speeding up payments of unemployment benefits. France, Japan and Korea are boosting subsidies for workers to stay home to care for children, and France is giving money to people forced to self-quarantine. Hong Kong, among other measures, is offering the equivalent of $1,280 to permanent residents who've been affected by the outbreak. ....... a check from the federal government wouldn't be unprecedented. But for a presidential administration that has so far considered only top-down approaches to easing the economic pain, it would be unusual.

Trump tells US 'relax, we're doing great' as his virus expert says worst is yet to come Trump again appeared to downplay the threat of the novel coronavirus. “Relax, we’re doing great,” he said, during short, meandering comments that focused mostly on celebrating a decision by the Federal Reserve to lower interest rates. “It all will pass.” ........ The president’s remarks stood in marked contrast to his lead infectious diseases expert, Dr Anthony Fauci, who used

the same conference

to warn: “The worst is ahead for us”, describing the crisis as reaching a “very, very critical point now”. Earlier in the day Dr Fauci had declined to rule out a “national lockdown” of bars and restaurants as he urged more aggressive measures, similar to those in Europe and elsewhere, to contain the virus. ........ California governor Gavin Newsom announced that the nation’s most populous state would enforce a closure of all bars and nightclubs, and make restaurants cut capacity by half. The governor also urged all those over 65 to self-isolate....... The Centers for Disease Control (CDC), the leading US government agency for public health, announced a national recommendation shortly after, urging all gatherings of 50 people or over, including festivals, parades, weddings and sporting events, to be cancelled for the next eight weeks. ...... Twenty-four states have already announced some form of school closure ...... 1.9 million Covid-19 tests to be processed over the coming weeks at over 2,000 laboratories across the country. .......... the roll-out of more testing would lead to a “spike” in positive results.

Coronavirus News (5)



South Korea’s coronavirus response is the opposite of China and Italy – and it’s working Seoul’s handling of the outbreak emphasises transparency and relies heavily on public cooperation in place of hardline measures such as lockdowns ........... With about 8,000 confirmed cases and more than 65 deaths, it was until recently the country with the most confirmed cases outside China – but South Korea has since emerged as a source of inspiration and hope for authorities around the world as they scramble to fight the pandemic........ a highly coordinated government response that has emphasised transparency and relied heavily on public cooperation in place of hardline measures such as lockdowns ...... South Korea has not restricted people’s movements – not even in Daegu, the southeastern city at the centre of the country’s outbreak. ........ authorities have focused mandatory quarantine on infected patients and those with whom they have come into close contact, while advising the public to stay indoors, avoid public events, wear masks and practise good hygiene........ while numerous countries have imposed sweeping travel bans – including the US, which has introduced dramatic restrictions on travel from Europe – Seoul has instead introduced “special immigration procedures” for heavily affected countries such as China, requiring travellers to undergo temperature checks, provide verified contact information and fill out health questionnaires. ....... [South Korea’s] approach seems less dramatic and more usable by other countries, compared with that used in mainland China ...... The linchpin of South Korea’s response has been a testing programme that has screened more people per capita for the virus than any other country by far. By carrying out up to 15,000 tests per day, health officials have been able to screen some 250,000 people – about one in every 200 South Koreans – since January......... To encourage participation, testing is free for anyone referred by a doctor or displaying symptoms after recent contact with a confirmed case or travel to China. For anyone simply concerned about the risk of infection, the cost is a relatively affordable 160,000 won (US$135). Testing is available at hundreds of clinics, as well as some 50 drive-through testing stations that took their inspiration from past counterterrorism drills and can screen suspected patients in minutes. ......... “This country has a universal health-coverage system for the whole population and the economic burden for testing is very low,” said Kim Dong-hyun, president of the Korean Society of Epidemiology. “Tests are conducted for free if you have proper symptoms.”.......... The massive volume of data collected has enabled the authorities to pinpoint clusters of infection to better target their quarantine and disinfection efforts, and send members of the public text-message alerts to inform them of the past movements of infected patients in their area – even down to the names of shops and restaurants they visited....... the fatality rate of which has diverged significantly from about 5 per cent in Italy to about 0.8 per cent in South Korea. ...... In the United States, where the authorities are unable to confirm the number of tests since they are being carried out by a patchwork of federal, state and private laboratories, the total was estimated to be fewer than 5,000 ....... South Korea is not unique in claiming some success in its fight against the virus. Singapore, Taiwan and Hong Kong, informed by past outbreaks such as severe acute respiratory syndrome (Sars) and Mers, have managed to keep confirmed cases low while eschewing the sort of draconian measures implemented in mainland China.......... Early on, Hong Kong took some of the most comprehensive steps to implement “social distancing” ....... South Korea .. The largest cluster of cases in the country is linked to a secretive religious sect, Shincheonji, members of which have been accused of negligently spreading the virus as well as evading medical follow-ups and testing. ........ In addressing the Covid-19 outbreak, sound decision-making should not be about making a choice between maximised protection and minimal disruption. ....... China effectively barred 60 million people in Wuhan – ground zero of the outbreak – and the rest of the province of Hubei from leaving their homes, while restricting the movements of hundreds of millions of others across the country by shutting down public transport, banning private cars and setting up roadblocks. ....... “Most democracies value human rights and freedoms … [not] the degree of social control we’ve seen in China. South Korea offers a better model.” ....... In the Philippines, President Rodrigo Duterte on Thursday announced a lockdown of the entire Metro Manila region and its 12.8 million people. ....... “The more transparently and quickly accurate information is provided, the more the people will trust the government,” he said. “They will act rationally for the good of the community at large.” ....... Some experts caution that it is too early to tell if South Korea truly has the virus under control. The discovery of a new cluster of about 100 infections at a call centre in densely populated Seoul prompted a sudden uptick in cases on Wednesday, raising fears the virus could be on the verge of spreading uncontrollably nationwide.

Amid coronavirus pandemic, India faces another danger Shaken by the incident, she wrote on Instagram: “The woman was making comments directed towards us suggesting we are Chinese. And when I confronted her she started to scream at us. This can happen to anyone from the Northeast”. ........ Pachau, a 24-year-old student at the University of Delhi, said he was harassed while on the way to college. ..... “I was just getting on the metro when a group of young men started pointing at me and saying ‘Corona virus aagaye’ [coronavirus has come here],” he said. ....... even politicians have spread fake news. Last month, Shweta Shalini, a politician from his Bharatiya Janata Party tweeted an article that claimed China was seeking court approval to kill 20,000 Covid-19 patients......... the amount of misinformation being spread on social media was almost impossible to counter. ....... According to official figures, India has reported only 100 infections and two deaths. The real number could be much higher given the virus’ ability to spread undetected from people with mild or no symptoms. ....... The following day, India reported its first coronavirus death as authorities ordered schools, theatres and cinemas closed in New Delhi for the rest of the month in a bid to keep the pandemic at bay.

As coronavirus epidemic eases in China, life is slowly returning to normal

Worst-case coronavirus models show massive US toll

more than a million Americans could die

...... between 160 million and 210 million Americans could contract the disease over as long as a year. .......... as many as 21 million people might need hospitalization, a daunting figure in a nation with just about 925,000 hospital beds ....... 1.6 million if the virus carries a mortality rate of just 1 percent. ...... half of Americans will contract the virus. ......... between 20 percent and 60 percent of everyone on earth — or between 1.4 billion and 4.2 billion people — could eventually contract the disease..... If the virus only kills 1 percent of those who contract it, somewhere between 14 million and 42 million people are at risk. ....... China’s harsh crackdowns and enforced quarantines to South Korea’s vast army of testers who screen motorists at drive-through stations. ...... New York has even rolled out its own plan to make tens of thousands of gallons of hand sanitizer every day.

Trump shared table with another Mar-a-Lago guest who tested positive for coronavirus: White House doctor there was no need for the president to be quarantined. ....... the highly contagious virus, according to media reports, which has spread to more than 120 countries and killed at least 5,000 people worldwide....... He said that Trump’s exposure to Wajngarten was “extremely limited (photograph, handshake).” ...... While the president shared the same dinner table and “spent more time in closer proximity with the second case, all interactions occurred before any symptom onset.” ....... He said he will monitor Trump closely, but that “given the President himself remains without symptoms, testing for COVID-19 is not currently indicated.”



Gov. Cuomo says New York has most coronavirus cases in US as new cases jump 30% overnight to 421 New York state now has more cases than any other state in the U.S. as the number of newly confirmed infections surged by 30% overnight to 421, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Friday. ....... “This is not going to be a quick situation. This is going to be weeks, months,” Cuomo said at a press conference in Albany, N.Y. “My guess is there are thousands and thousands of cases walking around the state of New York.” ......

The nation’s first COVID-19 patient flew into the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport on Jan. 15 from Wuhan, China.

....... New York’s “numbers are spiking because our testing capacity is going up,” Cuomo said, adding New Yorkers will see 1,000 more cases next week. ....... Cuomo said his own daughter is under “precautionary” quarantine after she was possibly exposed to the virus. ...... “How could I protect my daughter? Why didn’t I protect my daughter? Because it’s impossible. It’s impossible,” he said. ........... On Thursday, Cuomo said the state is likely to see a spread of COVID-19 similar to that of China, South Korea and Italy, where the new coronavirus has millions of people under lockdown and has shuttered commerce. ............ “What makes you think that the virus in China, the virus in South Korea, the virus in Italy wasn’t going to react any differently than the virus here?” he said. “You are going to see the same trajectory that you saw in China, South Korea and Italy, and it is going to happen here as the virus spreads, because of the way it is actually contagious.”
