COVID-19: Scammers dressed as doctors set up fake Coronavirus testing sites, where they charge people $240 and steal their DNA

Authorities in Kentucky are warning against "pop-up" COVID-19 testing sites which offer people quick Coronavirus results for cash in order to steal their DNA and personal information.
Local officials said a self-proclaimed medical marketing company set up makeshift testing sites outside various churches in Louisville with workers dressed head to toe in hazmat gear. They claim the scammers charge $240 a test and steal people's DNA and personal information.
At one site in Louisville, Kentucky, scammers dressed as doctors were offering fake coronavirus tests out of a convenience store parking lot in exchange for $240. They were also collecting credit card information and people’s social security numbers, equipping them to steal their victims’ identities.
Local authorities told the NYT that 100 people fell prey to the scheme before the scammers fled
Metro Council President David James and Louisville advocates have been hunting down who they call fake COVID-19 testers, reported WDRB.
"It's really Medicaid fraud, is what it actually is. There is no reason that you should spend $240 dollars for a COVID test," James said. "And they're using the same gloves on Person A that they used on Person B, that they used on Person C."
The officials said the group may be from Illinois as they believe the scammers are the same people who claimed to test people's DNA for diseases last year.
"They're the scum of the Earth and they're preying on the poorest of the poor, and I'm going to do everything in my power to get them the [explicit] out of Kentucky," James said.

A Nigerian-born British healthworker, Carol Jamabo has reportedly died from COVID-19 complications in the United Kingdom.
The 56-year-old mother of two and community caregiver at the Cherish Elderly Care in Bury, Greater Manchester, died last Wednesday after testing positive for Coronavirus.
The late caregiver who moved to the UK from Nigeria in the early 1990s, was a key worker for more than 25 years. She also worked in the prison service and as an NHS administrator at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital NHS Foundation Trust in London.
![[Image: 5e8c5d0824c9d.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8c5d0824c9d.jpg)
Though Jamabo never had any major underlying health conditions, her health deteriorated rapidly even though she was on a ventilator at Salford Royal Hospital.
Jamabo's death was also confirmed by her nephew, Dakuro Fiberesima who revealed that she was transferred to an intensive care unit at the Salford Royal Hospital. He added that her condition worsened.
He said;
Quote:"The youngest son is in a terrible position. He was extremely close to her. He was living with her. She was just an amazing aunt.
"Growing up in an African background, the aunts are very strict, but she was fun and had such a positive character."

New Zealand health minister David Clark demoted for breaking Coronavirus lockdown rules
![[Image: 5e8c4b56e6232.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8c4b56e6232.jpg)
New Zealand’s health minister, David Clark, has been demoted for breaking Coronavirus lockdown rules.
Last week, the 47-year-old and his family drove approximately 20km from his home in Dunedin to Doctor's Point Beach for a walk, which he admits violated restrictions.
Clark described himself as an "idiot" and offered his resignation to Ardern, who rejected it and instead demoted him.
In a statement, Dr Clark said: "As the health minister it's my responsibility to not only follow the rules but set an example to other New Zealanders.
"At a time when we are asking New Zealanders to make historic sacrifices I've let the team down. I've been an idiot, and I understand why people will be angry with me."
Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern admitted that "under normal circumstances" she would have sacked Mr. Clark, but decided to keep him in his role as health minister amid the global pandemic and instead demote him to the bottom of the cabinet rankings.
He has also been stripped of his role as associate finance minister.
"We cannot afford massive disruption in the health sector or to our response," Ms Ardern said in a statement.
"For that reason, and that reason alone, Dr. Clark will maintain his role. But he does need to pay a price - he broke the rules.
"While he maintains his health portfolio, I am stripping him of his role as associate finance minister and demoting him to the bottom of our cabinet rankings. I expect better, and so does New Zealand."
In New Zealand, there are more than 1100 cases of Coronavirus with one death.

‘He’s been a really good friend…we have made tremendous progress on theraputics…and I’ve asked two of the leading companies, these are brilliant companies – ebola, AIDS, others – the’ve come with the solutions and just have done incredible jobs.’ ‘
'And I’ve asked them to contact London immediately, they have offices in London, these are major companies, but more than major, more than size, they’re genius,’ Trump continued, saying that he spoke to four companies.
‘We’ve contacted all of Boris’s doctors and we’ll see what is going to take place…but when you get brought into Intensive care that gets very serious.’

COVID-19 In Ecuador: Cardboard Coffins, Over 100 Bodies Litter The Streets
Bodies are left to rot on the side of the road as officials struggle to cope with coronavirus deaths in an Ecuadorian city.
At least 150 corpses were left on the street or kept in the homes of grieving relatives in Guayaquil as the deadly bug ravages the horror-struck port city.
The bodies were placed on the roadside in the desperate hope that authorities would be able to take them away but removals take up to three days due to a backlog.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8191113/Dozens-bodies-left-streets-Ecuadorian-city-officials-struggle-cope.html?ito=social-facebook
Residents were even forced to use cardboard boxes as coffins as Ecuador's official death toll hit 172 with at least 3,500 confirmed cases.
Health workers in protective gear remove a dead body.
Coffins wrapped in plastic were seen on the pavement as relatives lined up for a funeral outside a cemetary.

Photos from Wuhan, the epicenter of the Coronavirus outbreak, as it reopens after 10-week Coronavirus lockdown
![[Image: 5e8d905f3299b.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8d905f3299b.jpg)
Wuhan, the epicenter of the Coronavirus pandemic, was placed on a major lockdown for more than 10 weeks to contain the outbreak. The lockdown was finally lifted on Wednesday.
The city of 11 million people was shut off on January 23, with no one allowed to enter or leave. Most of the nearly 82,000 confirmed infections and 3,331 deaths in China have been in Wuhan.
However, as the virus has been brought under control in Wuhan, China, the lockdown was lifted.
Photos taken on Wednesday, April 8, show people leaving their homes, all wearing masks, some clad in the white full-body protective suits.
A lot of people can also be seen travelling as they've finally been allowed to reunite with families and go back to their jobs.
![[Image: 5e8d911d0f8d6.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8d911d0f8d6.jpg)
An estimated 55,000 are set to leave Wuhan by rail on Wednesday, officials said, with about 21,000 leaving via Hankou, the city's oldest railway station a stone's throw away from the Huanan Seafood Market, an early focal point of infections.
Just past 6am, scores had already been patiently waiting to board the first train out of Wuhan - a high speed rail to Jingzhou, about 200km away.
Many were holding gift packs which had been given out by station management, who had arranged for staff to stand at the platform holding up red signs that read "Hankou Station welcomes you".
![[Image: 5e8d917860d4d.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8d917860d4d.jpg)
"I'm just very happy that we can finally leave, it's been too long," said a man who gave his name only as Mr Zheng, Strait Times reports.
The airport was a hive of activity. The first flight was at 7.25am that flew to Hainan’s Sanya with 49 people on board.
![[Image: 5e8d91f088e51.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8d91f088e51.jpg)
By about 9am, hundreds had streamed to the airport where a positive health code is required for entry.
Travellers had to show the same code before they were allowed to approach the check-in counter, and once more at the boarding gate.
Airport officials said 96 flights are expected to take off from Wuhan on Wednesday alone, with 11,855 travellers expected to come through the airport.
The Strait Times China correspondent, Elizabeth Law was at Wuhan early today to capture Wuhan after the lockdown was lifted.
She revealed that people have not lowered their guards despite that fact that the virus appears to be under control.
There are usually at least 3 layers of security checks in public places; involving temperature checks, disinfectant spray, and people are constantly reminded to stay at least 1.5m apart.

Heanor Mayor, Sheila Oakes has been expelled from the Labour party after making shocking comments about Boris Johnson's health
The UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson was hospitalized on Sunday due to Coronavirus and was placed on Oxygen the following day as his health deteriorated
Sheila Oakes, who is mayor of Heanor in Derbyshire and a Labour district councillor, posted the insensitive comment on Facebook on Monday night.
Replying to a message calling for people to say a prayer for the Prime Minister, Cllr Oakes wrote on Facebook: ‘Sorry, he completely deserves this and he is one of the worst PMs we’ve ever had.’
![[Image: 5e8d9f0616b26.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8d9f0616b26.jpg)
Following outrage over her post, Labour leader of Amber Valley District Council, Chris Emmas-Williams, has said the party had withdrawn Ms Oakes from the party.
In a statement, he said he is 'appalled and very disappointed’ by her behaviour, adding she had apologised to him personally, on Facebook and BBC Radio Derby.
'‘As leader of the Council and Labour Group I am appalled and very disappointed by the comments posted on Facebook by Cllr Sheila Oakes.
'There is no place in politics for personal and hurtful comments no matter how angry you are. ‘I asked Cllr Oakes to remove the comments and apologise immediately after it was brought to my attention. ‘In no circumstances can I or the Labour Group condone this sort of behaviour, it is not in being with the standards expected in public life or office. ‘A full investigation will take place and appropriate action will be taken in line with the Labour Party rules and regulations.’
‘Cllr Oakes does not currently sit as a Labour councillor’.
'We wish the Prime Minister, and all who are suffering this awful disease, a speedy recovery and send love and solidarity to them and their families. ‘It would be inappropriate to comment further until due process has taken its course.”

Update: Coronavirus stricken Boris Johnson 'improving' and 'sitting up in bed'
![[Image: 5e8dfeea57629.jpeg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8dfeea57629.jpeg)
UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson is now 'sitting up in bed' and 'improving' according to UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak.
Johnson was admitted to hospital on Sunday barely two weeks after testing positive for Coronavirus and on Monday was transfered to the Intensive Care Unit and placed on oxygen as his condition worsened.
But information coming out of Downing street, says the UK leader is getting better as he continues to receive treatment even though he is still being treated in the ICU.
![[Image: 5e8dff1d01de7.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e8dff1d01de7.jpg)
Speaking at Downing Street's daily coronavirus briefing on Wednesday, UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak said the prime minister was recovering.
"The latest from the hospital is the prime minister remains in intensive care where his condition is improving," the chancellor said.
"I can also tell you that he has been sitting up in bed and engaging positively with the clinical team.
"The prime minister is not only my colleague and my boss but also my friend, and my thoughts are with him and his family."
'His situation reminds us how indiscriminate this disease is".

British minister, Boris Johnson, 55, has been released from intensive care where he spent three nights receiving treatment for Coronavirus.
A spokesman for No. 10 Downing Street said in a statement that Boris was released from intensive care on Thursday, but will remain in hospital.
“The Prime Minister has been moved this evening from intensive care back to the ward, where he will receive close monitoring during the early phase of his recovery.”
“He is in extremely good spirits,” the spokesman added.
He was taken to hospital on Sunday ten days after testing positive - and was moved to intensive care on Monday when his symptoms “worsened.”
The prime minister was receiving "standard oxygen treatment" in intensive care and had not been on a ventilator, Downing Street said earlier.
As of Thursday, more than 61,516 people had contracted the coronavirus in the U.K., with 7,097 deaths nationwide, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

COVID-19 In New York: Hundreds Of Bodies Buried In Mass Grave On Island(Pics)
Workers wearing hazmat suits have been spotted burying caskets in a mass grave on New York's Hart Island as the number of burials quadruples amid the coronavirus pandemic and the city's death roll rises to more than 4,200.
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-8205237/Prisoners-hazmat-suits-continue-dig-mass-graves-NYCs-Hart-Island.html?ito=social-facebook
The caskets were stacked three on top of each other in the mass grave as inmates used a digger to help transport the bodies.
Normally, about 25 bodies bodies are buried each Thursday on Hart Island.
That number increased to 72 since the end of March and now to about 100 when coronavirus fatalities increased drastically in the city, according to the Department of Corrections.
Those currently buried on Hart Island include people who haven't been identified, unclaimed bodies and people whose families could not afford burial costs.
Workers wearing hazmat suits and other protective gear were spotted burying caskets in a mass grave on New York's Hart Island on Thursday.
The refrigerated truck that was brought onto the island is the same as those currently parked outside hospitals across Manhattan as part of makeshift morgues set up to deal with the number of people dying from the coronavirus outbreak.
THE GRISLY HISTORY OF HART ISLAND: THE FINAL RESTING PLACE FOR OVER ONE MILLION BODIES
Hart Island, sometimes referred to as Hart's Island, has a grisly history and started being used as a cemetery during the civil war in 1868 and there are now more than a million bodies buried there.
Since then it has been used as a women's psychiatric institution, a tuberculosis sanatorium, a potter's field burial site and storage for Cold War anti-aircraft missiles.
After its first use as a cemetery in 1868, the island started to be used as a potter's field for unmarked graves and accounts from the time describe bodies piling up on the island after being transported from hospitals in the city.
By 1958, burials there exceeded 500,000 and it has been used to house the bodies of victims of the 1870 yellow fever epidemic and the 1919 Spanish Flu outbreak.
During the Spanish Flu, when more than 500,000 Americans died, thousands were buried at Hart Island as city burial sites were overwhelmed.
In more recent times, thousands of unclaimed AIDs victims have been buried on the island.
The first were buried in 1985 away from other graves, in the belief that AIDs could infect dead bodies.
In one 200-foot trench the remains of 8,904 babies were buried between 1988 and 1999
It returned to being used as a common grave in the 1980s and is still used to bury unknown or unclaimed people with bodies from across New York taken to the site twice a week and laid to rest by inmates at Rikers Island.
Due to a New York State law from the 1850s and last amended in 2007, a dead person's next of kin on have 48 hours after death to claim a body for burial.
If the body is unclaimed it becomes legally available as a medical cadavar to be used for training at medical schools or mortuary classes.
The island, which can only be accessed by ferryboat, was sold to the city in 1868 and became a final resting place for unclaimed bodies and those used by medical schools.
This is so tragic. Obviously their families can't even be present to bid them farewell. COVID-19 is really dealing with Newyork/America.

Quote:Coronavirus: Rihanna Sent Ventilator To Her Father After He Tested Positive
Pop icon Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, went out of her way to help father Ronald Fenty after he tested positive for coronavirus[/b]
Pop star Rihanna bought a ventilator and sent it to her dad's house after he fell ill with coronavirus.
The Barbadian singer, 32, was quick to provide the breathing device to her father Ronald Fenty after he tested positive for COVID-19.
Rihanna, real name Robyn Fenty, checked on him every day as he struggled with high fevers as a result of the coronavirus.
Speaking to The Sun, Ronald revealed how grateful he was for all the efforts the singer went to for him.
Ronald said: "My daughter Robyn was checking in on me every day.
"I thought I was going to die to be honest. I have to say, I love you so much, Robyn."
Despite sending the ventilator to Ronald's home on the Caribbean Island of Barbados, Mr Fenty thankfully did not need to use it.
He was released from the Paragon Isolation Center after 14 days, having fully recovered from the virus.
There have been three deaths on Barbados due to the coronavirus so far, with Ronald being one of the few to have been infected.
He has now returned to the large St. James home that Rihanna purchased for him, where he resides with his beloved dogs, Ebony and Xena.
Rihanna previously paid for her father to attend a $58,000 Malibu rehab following a difficult period in their relationship that saw her send him home from her tour due to his alcohol abuse.
Calling on local government in Barbados to do more to battle the continuing coronavirus pandemic, Ronald also begged citizens to keep in line with social distancing measures.
"Please stay home," he said, after calling the situation "more serious than people realise."
Meanwhile, Rihanna's Clara Lionel Foundation has announced that it will donate $5million to COVID-19 relief efforts.
CLF's executive director Justine Lucas told TMZ : "Never has it been more important or urgent to protect and prepare marginalized and underserved communities - those who will be hit hardest by this pandemic."
The foundation is named after Rihanna's grandparents, Clara and Lionel Braithwaite.
