WASHINGTON – Dr. Anthony Fauci says that even though coronavirus has been around for decades, promises of public fitness and an imaginable vaccine will allow the world to adapt effectively.
The government’s leading infectious disease expert was asked if coronavirus can be a life-changing truth for generations.
Fauci says the combination of public health measures — masks, hand washing, social distancing — and vaccines should mean that “you can very well control and essentially eliminate (the coronavirus) from any given country.”
He added: “Remember, there has been a virus in the history of the planet that has been eliminated and is smallpox.”
Vaccines are evolving and it is not known how effective they will be. But Fauci says he expects his power to be in diversity from 70% to 80%. He’ll have a vaccine in 2021, he said.

ORLANDO, Fla. – Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has rescised an ordinance that requires others traveling from New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut to be quarantined for 14 days.
At the beginning of the national epidemic, the Republican ordered travelers arriving in Florida from the epicenter of New York and its suburbs to quarantine them for two weeks. New York State’s infection rate has declined since last April and lately is about one-tenth of Florida’s.
New York Democratic Gov. Andrew Cuomo issued his own ordinance in June, forcing citizens of several states, Florida, to quarantine himself upon his arrival in New York.
On Thursday, Florida reported 7650 new cases of coronavirus and 120 deaths. The state has a total of 510,389 cases shown, only California. There were at least 7,781 deaths, sixth in the country.

WASHINGTON – Dr. Anthony Fauci says that if you can wear a face protector for you and others of the coronavirus, you could do so as well.
The director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases said teachers involved in the threat of infection to young people in elegance had asked him if they wore plastic face protectors. They are now commonly used in hospital emergency departments, as well as in dental and medical offices.
“In fact, it can’t hurt,” says Fauci, who has also encouraged the use of a cloth mask to prevent the spread of coronavirus. Fauci answered questions at a consultation sponsored through the nonprofit Health Policy Alliance.
There is still no formal advice to use facial screens because science is clear, says Fauci, but there is some logic in this: the virus enters the frame through the mouth, nose and eyes.

Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says the United States was well-identified both for its generosity and for its global fitness projects in the past.
“You can’t beat this virus in a divided world,” Tedros told about a country that will pay more than $450 million to the agency.
“When I was minister in Ethiopia, when HIV/AIDS devastated the entire African continent, the matrix … it is America’s generosity and leadership that has given people hope, hope to families, and hope to nations,” Tedros said.

WHO has denied this and recently introduced research on the reaction to the pandemic.

WINDER, Georgia – More than 90 members of a Georgia school district have been quarantined due to coronavirus exposure or infection, leading the district to start the year completely online.
Barrow County school officials said the district, about 50 miles northeast of Atlanta, will begin distance education on August 17.

PIERRE, S.D. — Gov. Kristi Noem is using coronavirus restrictions in other states to lure businesses to relocate to South Dakota.
In an online ad, Noem told business owners to “grow their business” in South Dakota, where the government might not bother them.
“In terms of supporting expansion and getting rid of strong government interference, South Dakota is synonymous with business,” Noem said in the announcement by the Governor’s Office for Economic Development.
The Republican governor said similar restrictions to Minnesota’s COVID-19, the mandate to wear a mask on public buildings, have created an opportunity for businesses to cross the South Dakota border.
Noem says that in South Dakota, companies probably wouldn’t be closed.
Noem has brought a comfortable technique to the pandemic. Although Republican governors in states like Texas have made the decision to require others to wear a mask, Noem did not ask for physical distance or mask the July 3 birthday party at Mount Rushmore, which President Donald Trump attended.

COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A northern Norway university hospital says two more crew members who worked on a Norwegian cruise ship have tested positive for the coronavirus, bring the total to 55.
After the outbreak on the MS Roald Amundsen, the ship stopped all cruisers on Monday and Norway closed its ports to cruise ships for two weeks.
The University Hospital of Northern Norway in Tromsoe, north of the Arctic Circle, where the shipment is recently moored, said they were admitted on Thursday. They have been described as foreign nationals running in the MS Roald Amundsen.
Previously, the Norwegian Institute of Public Health said the ship’s two trips last month, a total of 37 team members and 16 passengers tested positive. All passengers are registered as residents of Norway.
The cruise ship acts as a local ferry, traveling from port to port along the west coast of Norway. Some passengers have disembarked in the direction and the government fears that they have spread the virus to local communities.

LONDON — The British government says it won’t be using 50 million face masks it bought during a scramble to secure protective equipment for medics at the height of the coronavirus outbreak because of safety concerns.
The mask was part of a 252 million pound ($332 million) contract that the government signed with investment firm Ayanda Capital in April. Documents filed in a court case reveal that the mask will not be distributed because they have earrings that are sloped and may not be tight enough.
The government says another 150 million masks provided through Ayanda are affected but are still being tested.
Newspapers are part of a lawsuit against the Conservative government through the Good Law Project and EveryDoctor crusade teams.
As the coronavirus epidemic accelerated in the UK in March, it is transparent that the country lacked sufficient stocks of masks, gloves, gowns and other protective devices for physical care personnel and nursing home staff. This sparked a race to buy billions of parts of equipment from suppliers in the UK and abroad.
Opposition parties are calling for an urgent investigation into how it acquired the non-public protection apparatus.

JOHANNESBURG – With cases of coronavirus in Africa reaching one million, the director of the African Centers for Disease Control and Prevention warns that we “exercise fatigue at all” in responding to the pandemic.
Nkengasong spoke to reporters at a time when the number of instances on the continent is now more than 992,000. More than a part are in South Africa.
Africa saw an 11% increase in instances last week, less than in recent weeks, however, Nkengasong says that while it is tempting to see a decrease, the numbers want to be seen for several weeks to the true trend of infections on the continent. 1.3 billion people.
Five account for 75% of cases: South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Ghana and Algeria.
The low verification rate remains a concern, but Nkengasong says that if countries do the right thing “we have a chance to avoid this pandemic.” He says the CDC is largely tracking countries like Ethiopia, Kenya and Sudan as the instances increase.

BERLIN – Germany’s fitness minister said the government will require others arriving from a giant number of countries that are considered the biggest threat to coronavirus testing starting Saturday.
The German authorities have expressed fears about a steady increase in the number of new infections in recent weeks. The National Centers for Disease Control recorded more than 1,000 instances per day on Wednesday for the first time in 3 months.
At the end of the school holidays, the government is willing to monitor potentially inflamed tourists entering the country. Last Saturday, he began providing loose evidence to others returning home.
People entering Germany from countries considered to be the greatest threat, the maximum of them outdoors in Europe, will have to remain quarantined lately for 14 days, unless they can provide a negative verification result of less than two days.
Health Minister Jens Spahn said that from Saturday, arrivals from those countries will be forced to take a, unless they bring a new result with them.

The stagnant economy began to recover after President Rodrigo Duterte eased a three-month blockade in June. But on Tuesday he put the capital and outlying provinces of more than 25 million people under a moderate blockade two weeks after medical teams warned that the fitness formula was overdue and could collapse.
Presidential spokesman Harry Roque said, “I’ll be fair to you, the economy can no longer face a much longer blockade.”
