Donald Trump reiterated Wednesday that he believed the coronavirus would “disappear,” despite the warning from his leading public health expert that it could bring a maximum of 2021 or more to the pandemic and that it is “unlikely” that the virus may simply never be eradicated.
In a briefing at the White House, the U.S. President said of Covid-19: “He’s leaving, he’s dying, things are happening to pass, absolutely. I have no questions in my mind, as soon as possible.”
Trump has made many versions of this claim for more than six months that the United States is fighting the epidemic, despite sufficient evidence to the contrary and common contradictions about the component of public fitness leaders:
In Australia, new South Wales state premier Gladys Berejiklian has called on the state’s youth to replace their social lives as the state enters a critical state of the coronavirus pandemic, SPG reports.
“We’re on the knife’s edge and we’re halfway to a critical moment,” Sydney Radio’s Triple M said Thursday.
She was speaking a day after announcing travellers returning from Victoria to NSW would be forced into hotel quarantine for 14 days at their own expense.
“When we found out how bad Victoria was, we know we’ve had a complicated 4-six week scenario and we’re halfway there,” he said.
He thanked the other 22,000 people who showed up for the COVID-19 checkup on Wednesday, but suggested other young people curb their social lives, especially in the coming weeks.
“For young people, check to replace the number of options that passes. If you have the virus and faint five times a week on other options, you may spread it to five other options, and then we need to get tracking all of them.”
He warned that other people distance the property socially, even with friends, because Victoria had shown that the greatest spread of the disease was occurring among friends and members of the family circle.
“It takes some cases to get out of control.”
A Canadian zoo warns that its giant pandas may dispense with new bamboo, as the Covid-19 pandemic limits imports from China and domestic materials are depleting.
The Calgary Zoo said in May that it planned to send Er Shun and Da Mao back to China after the coronavirus interrupted the bamboo’s home lines, but on Tuesday the zoo announced that due to the pandemic, it still could not unload permits.
Giant pandas consume 40 kg of bamboo according to the day and the plant accounts for 99% of their nutrition, which generates animal feed considerations:
Amsterdam and the port of Rotterdam made the face mask mandatory on Wednesday in some crowded areas, adding the red border of the Dutch capital, as coronavirus infections showed a peak of concern.
The new measures occur when the number of infections has doubled in a week in the country, where more than 55,000 people have become inflamed and some 6,150 have died.
“We are this experiment because we are involved in the growing number of coronavirus infections,” amsterdam City Council said.
“Masks are mandatory in crowded and crowded spaces where other measures have worked or have had negative economic effects,” he said in a statement.
Although council workers distributed loose masks, a cell van with loudspeakers and police warnings, they all took into account the new measures, especially in the Red Light area.
Many walked unmasked and officials said they only warned others and were not fined.
“Unfortunately, this fits a little with the profile of the city,” said one Red Light District resident who asked to be named and wearing a multicolored mask.
“Everything is imaginable and nothing is ever imposed here,” he said.
“We came from Germany and I like it…” that devils ‘when I saw that other people were not dressed in a mask where it was obligatory,’ added Soph Schaller, 20, a kindergarten instructor from Cologne, Germany.
“We’re pretty used to it and we’ve been dressed in a mask for a while,” he told the AFP.
In the port city of Rotterdam, police arrested an organization of protesters seeking to march against the forced dressed in face masks, Dutch media reported.
A record number of other people in Britain are in favor of paintings of transience as job losses increase across the country, according to hiring companies that have been inundated with resumes.

Italy’s national civil aviation authority, ENAC, has threatened to suspend Ryanair’s permit to fly the country for alleged non-compliance with protection regulations opposed to coronaviruses, but the cheap airline has denied having violated them. -19 physical fitness regulations recently in force and imposed by the Italian government on the fitness of passengers”.

If Ryanair continued to break the rules, ENAC would “suspend all air transport activities at domestic airports, forcing the airline to divert all passengers who already have the tickets,” he said.
“The statements made in THE ENAC press release today are objectively incorrect,” Ryanair replied. “Ryanair fully complies with the measures set by the Italian government and our consumers can be sure that we are doing everything possible to reduce interactions on our planes and airports to protect the fitness of our passengers.”
Italy, the first European Union country to be severely affected by the pandemic, which officially killed more than 35,000 people, yet its rate of contagion lately is well below the levels elsewhere in the bloc.

The death toll from the coronavirus pandemic exceeded 700,000 wednesday night, according to Johns Hopkins University tracker, which is on official government data.

In a statement, WHO explained:
WHO will deploy 43 experts from a variety of fields to control the reaction to the COVID-19 epidemic. The first 17 expected fitness results will arrive today and come with key experience in epidemiology, surveillance, case control, infection, prevention and control, acquisition, as well as network mobilization and fitness education. Among them is Dr David Heymann, senior epidemiologist for infectious diseases and specialist in public physical conditioning who served as WHO Deputy Director-General for Health and Environment. He led the reaction to the SARS outbreak in 2003, running with his team to mediate foreign efforts to prevent the pandemic.
Facebook removed an article from Donald Trump’s page for spreading fake data about the coronavirus, a novelty for social business that has been harshly criticized for allowing the president to violate its content rules.
The message included a video of Trump falsely claiming that young people were “almost immune to Covid-19,” an appearance on Fox News. There is evidence to recommend that young people who contract Covid-19 sometimes revel in milder symptoms than adults. However, they are not immune and some young people have become seriously ill or have died from the disease.
“This video falsely states that a other people’s organization is immune to Covid-19, which is a violation of our destructive misinformation policies in Covid,” a Facebook spokesman said:
