COVID-19: California to give illegal Immigrants affected by Coronavirus $500 each
![[Image: 5e9782b01e2bb.PNG]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9782b01e2bb.PNG)
California governor, Gov. Gavin Newsom has announced that illegal Immigrants affected by Coronavirus will get $500 each.
The governor made the major announcement on Wednesday, saying State taxpayers will shell out $75 million from their Disaster Relief Fund, and another $50 billion will come from a network of philanthropic foundations to help illegal immigrants struggling to pay bills.
“We feel a deep sense of gratitude for people that are in fear of deportations that are still addressing essential needs of tens of millions of Californians,” said Newsom, who noted 10% of the state’s workforce are immigrants living in the country illegally paid more than $2.5 billion in state and local taxes last year.
“Every Californian, including our undocumented neighbors and friends, should know that California is here to support them during this crisis,” the Democratic governor added. “We are all in this together.”
California has an estimated 2 million immigrants living in the country illegally but they are not eligible for the $2.2 trillion stimulus package approved by Congress last month, which gives cash payments of $1,200 to Americans.
Newsom said the money will not be distributed based on income. “Their personal information will not be required to get those support,” he said.
Illegal immigrants will be able to apply for the money beginning in May.

COVID-19: UK extends Coronavirus lockdown for three more weeks
![[Image: 5e98b72abc871.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e98b72abc871.jpg)
The UK government has announced that the lockdown imposed to curb the spread of the Coronavirus will remain in place for three more weeks.
British Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab made the announcement this night during daily No 10 briefing saying that after a review they concluded that relaxing the measures now would risk harming public health and the economy.
Relaxing the lockdown measures now would "risk a second peak in the virus ... [and] undo the progress we've made to date," inflicting further damage to the economy, Raab told reporters.
"The worst thing we can do now is to ease up too soon ... so the current restrictions will remain in place," he said.
"There is light at the end of the tunnel but we are now at both a delicate and a dangerous stage in this pandemic.
"If we rush to relax the measures that we have in place we would risk wasting all the sacrifices and all the progress that has been made.
"That would risk a quick return to another lockdown with all the threat to life that a second peak to the virus would bring and all the economic damage that a second lockdown would carry."
Mr. Raab, deputising for Prime Minister Boris Johnson as he recovers from his Coronavirus infection added that the review concluded that the measures were working, but there was evidence the infection was spreading in hospitals and care homes.

Quote:[b]COVID-19: Patients Getting Remdesivir Recovering Quickly, Discharged In Days
Covid-19 patients who are getting an experimental drug called remdesivir have been recovering quickly, with most going home in days,[/b] STAT News reported Thursday after it obtained a video of a conversation about the trial.
The patients taking part in a clinical trial of the drug have all had severe respiratory symptoms and fever, but were able to leave the hospital after less than a week of treatment , STAT quoted the doctor leading the trial as saying.
"The best news is that most of our patients have already been discharged, which is great. We've only had two patients perish," Dr. Kathleen Mullane, an infectious disease specialist at the University of Chicago who is leading the clinical trial, said in the video.
Trials of the drug are ongoing at dozens of other clinical centers, as well. Gilead is sponsoring tests of the drug in 2,400 patients with severe Covid-19 symptoms in 152 trial sites around the world. It's also testing the drug in 1,600 patients with moderate symptoms at 169 hospitals and clinics around the world. Gilead said it expected results from the trial by the end of the month
"We understand the urgent need for a COVID-19 treatment and the resulting interest in data on our investigational antiviral drug remdesivir," the company said in a statement to CNN. But it said a few stories about patients are just that -- stories
"The totality of the data need to be analyzed in order to draw any conclusions from the trial. Anecdotal reports, while encouraging, do not provide the statistical power necessary to determine the safety and efficacy profile of remdesivir as a treatment for Covid-19," Gilead said.

COVID-19: China hiding information, not transparent – Macron
April 17, 2020
![[Image: 5BC8C3D0-0CC9-403E-958A-BEB3D8519D96.jpeg]](https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/04/5BC8C3D0-0CC9-403E-958A-BEB3D8519D96.jpeg)
French President, Emmanuel Macron has dismissed the idea that China’s handling of the Coronavirus epidemic was transparent.
Macron said there are things that happened in China that are not known up till today.
He said this while dismissing reports by ‘The Financial Times’ that China could be a role model for democracies.
Macron opined that there was no comparison between countries where information flows freely and those where truth is suppressed.
“Given these differences, the choices made and what China is today, which I respect, let’s not be so naive as to say it’s been much better at handling this.
“We don’t know. There are clearly things that have happened in China that we don’t know about,” he added.
Macron’s comments are coming at a time when China denied suspicions that Coronavirus might have originated in a medical laboratory rather than a food market in the city of Wuhan, the original epicentre of the pandemic.
Secretary of State, Mike Pompeo had called on the Chinese government,”to come clean” on what it knows about COVID-19.
But in his interview with the Financial Times, Macron warned that the European Union was at “a moment of truth” amid the economic and health crisis triggered by the COVID-19 pandemic.
Macron further called for support to Spain and Italy where more than 40,000 people have died from COVID-19, NAN reports.
“We are at a moment of truth, which is to decide whether the European Union is a political project or just a market project.
“I think it’s a political project, we need financial transfers and solidarity, if only so that Europe holds on,” Macron added

China denies it did a cover up as it revises Wuhan's Coronavirus death toll up by 50 percent
![[Image: 5e9979b593f14.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9979b593f14.jpg)
China has raised the official Coronavirus death toll of it's city Wuhan by 50%, giving more credence to US President Trump's claim that the country lied to the world about it's death figures.
Wuhan, the central Chinese city where the coronavirus first emerged late last year, admitted people died at home and cases were missed as hospitals struggled to cope in the early days of the outbreak.
In the new revised figures, the Wuhan city government increased the death toll by 1,290 - about 50 percent - bringing the total in Wuhan to 3,869 and the number of deaths across China to 4,632.
![[Image: 5e9979e49d2a1.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9979e49d2a1.jpg)
Chinese State controlled Xinhua News Agency quoted an unidentified official in Wuhan’s epidemic and prevention and control headquarters as saying mistaken reporting occurred during the outbreak.
"A surging number of patients at the early stage of the pandemic overwhelmed medical resources and the admission capacity of medical institutions," the Wuhan Municipal Headquarters for COVID-19 Epidemic Prevention and Control, said in a statement posted to state news agency Xinhua.
"Some patients died at home without having been treated in hospitals. During the height of their treating efforts, hospitals were operating beyond their capacities, and medical staff were preoccupied with saving and treating patients, resulting in belated, missed and mistaken reporting."
After compiling data from Wuhan’s epidemic prevention and control big data system, the city’s funeral service system, the municipal hospital authority’s information system, and the nucleic acid test system to ‘remove double-counted cases and fill in missed cases,’ Chinese officials say the new death cases were added because non-hospitalized deaths had not been registered at the disease control information system and some confirmed cases had been reported late or not been reported at all by some medical institutions.
China has now denied editing its official death toll for political purposes.
In an editorial, the Global Times, a tabloid owned by the Communist Party, rejected the accusations and said the revisions were made "based on facts" and that China had not been affected by "Western noise."
"The strict review and correction of the death toll means there is no room for deliberate concealment," the paper said. "Speculation that China falsified the death toll from the coronavirus is far from the truth. China is not a country where one can fabricate data in complete disregard of the law."

COVID-19: Trump raises alarm as China announces 50 percent increase in death toll
April 17, 2020
![[Image: 1171051136.jpg.0.jpg]](https://dailypost.ng/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/1171051136.jpg.0.jpg)
United States President Donald Trump has again stated that China was covering up the country’s coronavirus death toll.
Trump stated that China’s coronavirus deaths were “far higher” than it has admitted.
On Friday, China revised the number of deaths up by 50 percent.
The country added 1,290 COVID-19 deaths to Wuhan’s previous tally, bringing the total to 3,869 deaths.
Over 300 additional cases were also reported bringing the city’s case count to 50,333.
In his reaction, Trump suggested that he had been vindicated about his insistence that China was hiding the truth about coronavirus
“China has just announced a doubling in the number of their deaths from the Invisible Enemy. It is far higher than that and far higher than the US, not even close!” Trump tweeted.
China on Thursday reacted to allegations that it created COVID-19.
Trump has instructed his administration to stop funding the WHO.
He declared that the body “failed in its basic duty” in its response to the coronavirus outbreak and was not telling the truth about what happened in Wuhan.
In less than four months, more than 2.2 two million people have been affected by coronavirus and death toll above 150,000.

[b]Mum Infects Her 17 Children With Coronavirus In US As She Didn't Show Symptoms
IT WAS TERRIFYING' Coronavirus mom unknowingly infects SEVENTEEN of her 18 children with disease as she did not show any symptoms[/b]
When Jencik became seriously ill, her kids - some of whom are adopted - started to show symptoms.
She said the deadly virus was "like a freight train" hitting her family.
"It was terrifying," Jencik told WHAM. "I was a little ahead of them in the timing of it all."
"I was as afraid of my life as I had ever been, and not much scares me."
The mom-of-eighteen doesn't know how she contracted coronavirus.
"I was extremely concerned that I was never going to be the same," Jencik said of her battle with the disease that has infected millions and killed over 30,000 Americans.
The Jenciks are finally on the road to recovery after weeks of isolation and the busy mom asked her friend, Matt Moreno, the CEO of Purify Global, to sanitize her home.
Moreno brought in a team of 12 to scrub down her upstate abode for two hours, wearing hazmat suits for protection while Jencik's family waited outside.
"We put on commercial grade gas masks with a cartridge that's meant to withstand a nuclear attack," he said.
Jencik said it was necessary because she "needed to know from my mama heart that I was protecting the people I love to the best extent I possibly could."

Lawyers sue China for trillions of dollars in landmark legal action over Coronavirus pandemic
![[Image: 5e9c7c2021314.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9c7c2021314.jpg)
The Chinese Government is being sued by a group of US lawyers for trillions of dollars over it's role and ''negligence in the spread of Coronavirus globally.''
The landmark legal action which involves thousands of claimants from 40 countries including Britain and the US accuses China's Communist leaders of negligence for allowing the virus to break out and then covering it up.The filings were made in Florida last month.
Also, human rights lawyers from Israel in legal documents are also accusing China of state sponsored bio-terrorism putting pressure on China's President Xi Jinping to account fully for his country’s actions in the spread of the virus that has killed hundreds of thousands worldwide.
![[Image: 5e9c7d42aac5c.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9c7d42aac5c.jpg)
China faces accusations that it hid or reduced data, blocked several foreign teams of public health experts and silenced Chinese doctors who tried to warn about the epidemic when it broke out late last year.
The US legal claim was launched by Berman Law Group and it's Chief strategist Jeremy Alters said: ‘China’s leaders must be held accountable for their actions. Our goal is to expose the truth.’ Three years ago, the firm won a $1.2 billion (£960 million) case against China over the manufacture of defective building materials.
Two Plaintiffs in the case Olivier Babylone and Lorraine Caggiano said;
‘I have been financially hurt, but many people have lost their lives so I was lucky, and the NHS was fantastic. We need to know who is responsible.’
‘I am not expecting money. It is a symbolic gesture that we are fighting back.
‘I want to know how the world has been turned on its head, with people dying and companies going down the drain. We must make sure it never happens again.’
![[Image: 5e9c7cea4ebc2.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9c7cea4ebc2.jpg)
Meanwhile, leading British human rights lawyer Geoffrey Robertson has called for the United Nations to set up an inquiry into the origins of Coronavirus after the World Health Organisation was accused by Trump in helping China cover up it's death toll and the severity of the virus.
Mr Robertson, a former UN appeal judge, said;‘Our international well-being demands an independent and objective report into this disaster, not to allocate blame but to write its truthful history and learn lessons,’ he said. He added that Britain should use its influence as a permanent UN Security Council member to urge a formal inquiry, forcing the WHO and China to co-operate.
He said: ‘China would suffer international hostility and perhaps economic sanctions if it refused to explain all that had happened. It has a duty to tell the truth to a world that has suffered so much.’
The UK's acting Prime Minister, Foreign Secretary Dominic Raab, recently said it could not be ‘business as usual’ after the crisis.
‘We will have to ask the hard questions about how it came about and how it couldn’t have been stopped earlier,’ he said.

Trump warns China could face consequences if they deliberately misinformed the world on Coronavirus
![[Image: 5e9c7c4cceacf.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9c7c4cceacf.jpg)
President of the United States, Donald J.Trump, has warned the Chinese government it'll face grave consequences if it was "knowingly responsible" for the coronavirus pandemic. that has killed hundreds of thousands of people world wide.
Trump said he doesn't rule out that virus was spread -- accidentally -- from a laboratory researching bats in Wuhan but has admitted that China should suffer consequences over the pandemic if the US finds out that China purposely released the virus.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian has rejected reports that the virus which has left more than 157,000 people dead around the world was created by the Chinese military .
![[Image: 5e9c7ca81547e.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9c7ca81547e.jpg)
Trump also cast doubt on figures released by the Chinese government saying the country has suffered just 0.33 deaths per 100,000 people.
The United States, according to a chart displayed by Trump during a Saturday press briefing, has had 11.24 deaths per 100,000 people while France has had 27.92 and Spain 42.81.
But Trump says China's records are impossible to hit.
"The number's impossible," he said. "It's an impossible number to hit."
"It could have been stopped in China before it started and it wasn't," Trump told reporters at a White House briefing. "And now the whole world is suffering because of it."
"If they were knowingly responsible, certainly," he said when asked by reporters if China will be punished.
"If it was a mistake, a mistake is a mistake.
"But if they were knowingly responsible, yeah, then there should be consequences," Trump said.
"Was it a mistake that got out of control or was it done deliberately?" he asked. "That's a big difference between those two.
"In either event they should have let us go in," he said. "We asked to go in early. And they didn't want us in. I think they knew it was something bad and they were embarrassed."
"They said they're doing an investigation," the president continued. "So let's see what happens with their investigation. But we're doing investigations also."

They just want their lives back!' Donald Trump defends thousands of protesters demanding Coronavirus lockdown is lifted
![[Image: 5e9d66a34e104.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9d66a34e104.jpg)
US President, Donald Trump, has defended the thousands of protesters that have taken to the cities in the US to protest against the Coronavirus lockdown that has changed their way of life and shut down their means of livelihood.
Even though over 40,000 people in the US have died from Coronavirus, Trump says some of the governors' stay at home orders went too far, suggesting people ''have cabin fever and just want their lives back'
Some protesters waved Nazi flags after gathering in the state capitals of Michigan, Minnesota and Virginia last week. Trump then tweeted 'LIBERATE' and then included one of those three states in his tweet raising concerns that Trump might be fueling violent actions but Trump has now denied those assertions.
![[Image: 5e9d76083c4c3.png]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9d76083c4c3.png)
Trump said those protesting, including people in Olympia, Washington, Virginia and Michigan on Sunday 'love our country'

![[Image: 5e9d6744aecec.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9d6744aecec.jpg)
With more protests planned, Trump refrained from telling the demonstrators, many of whom have been wearing Trump clothing/merchandise, to stay home.
'No, I am not. I've never seen so many American flags,' Trump said.'They've got cabin fever,' 'These people love our country. They want to get back to work.'
'And when the virus passes, I hope we're going to be sitting next to each other at baseball games, football games, basketball games, ice hockey games,'
'I hope we're going to be sitting next to each other. The Masters is going to have 100,000 people, not 25 watching the course.' Trump said.

Trump says Nancy Pelosi will be 'overthrown' after she gave him an F grade for COVID-19 response, then blasts Fox News for interviewing her
![[Image: 5e9d5f784a568.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9d5f784a568.jpg)
US President Donald Trump has asserted that US House Speaker Nancy Pelosi will be overthrown from her position as America's number three leader soon, calling her an inherently dumb person after she appeared on Fox News to talk about Trump's response to the Coronavirus pandemic.
According to Trump, Nancy Pelosi wasted all her time focusing on his impeachment, which was a failed attempt. He also blasted news network, Fox News, for granting Pelosi an interview.
![[Image: 5e9d5f9de5599.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9d5f9de5599.jpg)
Pelosi told Fox News Sunday during a virtual interview with host Chris Wallace, that she didn't understand why people were protesting coronavirus lockdowns and stay-at-home orders;
'We're all impatient. We all want out. But what they're doing is really unfortunate,' she said of the protesters 'I wouldn't over exaggerate the protests,'
'I think of it largely as a distraction – and the president's embrace of it as a distraction'
'We're way late on it.' Pelosi said about Coronavirus testing. 'And that is the failure,' she told Wallace. 'President gets an 'F.' A failure on the testing.'
Trump in reaction took to his Twitter to blast Pelosi; 'Nervous Nancy is an inherently 'dumb' person. She wasted all of her time on the Impeachment Hoax,' Trump tweeted.
'She will be overthrown, either by inside or out, just like her last time as 'Speaker',' he continued, adding an insult at his one-favorite news network: 'Wallace & @FoxNews are on a bad path, watch!'
![[Image: 5e9d5fd036be7.png]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9d5fd036be7.png)
Trump last week blasted the US House Speaker after she released a 'dear colleague' letter claiming Trump had lied to the American people about coronavirus, which made Trump call her a 'weak and pathetic puppet'
Pelosi in defending her attack of the US leader told ABC News' George Stephenopoulos Sunday morning that the reason she sent the letter to her colleagues was because she was 'afraid' the president would treat coronavirus as a 'hoax'
'I'm afraid that he's going to act on the same basis of what he's acted before: 'it's a hoax,' 'it's magically going to disappear,'' Pelosi said.
'And that's why I sent out the letter that I did after Easter, because Easter gave me time for reflection and prayerfulness about, 'Ok, we don't want to keep harping on what he did wrong.' Plus he failed,' she continued.
US Coronavirus death toll as at Monday is over 40,000.

5-year-old daughter of Detroit first responders becomes the youngest person in Michigan to die from Coronavirus complications
![[Image: 5e9e94ae3d808.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9e94ae3d808.jpg)
A 5-year-old girl who is the daughter of two Detroit first responders has become the youngest person in Michigan to die from Coronavirus.
LaVondria Herbert, the mother of Skylar Herbert, confirmed her daughter's death to The Detroit News.
Skylar tested positive for COVID-19 in March and later developed a rare form of meningitis and brain swelling, the newspaper reported.
![[Image: 5e9e9466e40b7.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9e9466e40b7.jpg)
Skylar received care at Beaumont Health in Royal Oak, Michigan and was at first showing signs of improvement, but her condition later got serious.
"We decided to take her off the ventilator ... because her improvement had stopped, the doctors told us that it was possible she was brain dead, and we basically just knew she wasn't coming back to us," Herbert told The Detroit News.
"The loss of a child, at any time, under any circumstances, is a tragedy. We are heartbroken that COVID-19 has taken the life of a child. We extend our deepest sympathy to Skylar's family and all others who have lost a loved one to this virus," Beaumont Health said in a statement emailed to CBS News.
![[Image: 5e9e9506f221b.jpg]](https://alexis.lindaikejisblog.com/photos/shares/5e9e9506f221b.jpg)
Metropolitan Church of God in Detroit posted about Skylar's death. "There are no words to express how deeply saddened we are by the passing our beloved member Skylar Herbert," the church wrote on Facebook. "Skylar touched our hearts with her cheerful spirit and brightened our Sunday's with her smile. We thank God for gracing our congregation with her life and find solace in knowing that she now rests in the Lord's presence. Please keep Sis. Faustina Green (grandmother) and Skylar's parents lifted in prayer."
Before Skylar's death on Sunday, the youngest person to die from COVID-19 in Michigan was 20 years old, according to data from the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services.
