 German Economy Plunges Into Recession Over COVID-19


The German economy plunged into a recession after suffering its steepest quarterly contraction since the 2009 financial crisis as shops and factories were shut down in mid-March to fight the spread of the coronavirus, preliminary data showed on Friday.

The 2.2 per cent first-quarter contraction was a foretaste of worse to come. Economists expect a deeper slump in the second quarter as the lockdown extended well into April and early May and sectors like tourism and in-door gastronomy, remain shut.

Germany still appears to be fairing better than neighbouring France and Italy, whose economies contracted by 5.8 per cent and 4.7 per cent respectively in the first quarter.

This is partly due to a decision by Germany’s 16 states to allow factories and construction sites to stay open, and an unprecedented rescue package by Chancellor Angela Merkel’s government.

The package however includes state aid that allows employers to switch employees to shorter working hours to avoid mass layoffs. “Output data for the fourth quarter was revised to a contraction of 0.1 per cent from a previously reported stagnation, which meant Germany was technically in a recession after two successive quarterly output slumps,’’ the data showed.

According to Carsten Brzeski of ING, things will get worse before they get better. “To be more precise, incoming data will be worse, even though the worst might already be behind us. “If today’s data are the result of two weeks of lockdown, three more weeks of lockdown and a very gradual lifting of some measures do not bode well for the second quarter,” Brzeski added.

Seasonally adjusted figures from the Federal Statistics Office showed that gross domestic product in Europe’s largest economy fell by 2.3 per cent from January to March after a 0.4 per cent expansion in the previous three months. Analysts polled by Reuters had expected national output to shrink by 2.2 per cent quarter-on-quarter and a 2 per cent contraction year-on-year in seasonally adjusted terms. (Reuters/NAN)

 Madagascar Records First Coronavirus Death


Madagascar on Sunday reported the first death of a patient suffering from novel coronavirus nearly two months after it was first detected in the country, official statistics showed.

The Indian ocean island which has reported 304 cases has hit the headlines over a home-grown herbal concoction that President Andry Rajoelina claims can cure people infected with the virus.

Several African countries have ordered or expressed interest in the purported remedy, which is known as Covid-Organics.

The tonic drink is derived from artemisia — a plant with proven efficacy in malaria treatment — and other indigenous herbs.

But the World Health Organization has warned against “adopting a product that has not been taken through tests to see its efficacy”.

Health system in Brazil's largest city Sao Paulo in danger of collapse amid Coronavirus crisis








The healthcare system of Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest city, is in danger of collapsing due to the mounting cases of Coronavirus, its mayor has warned.
 
Hospital intensive care units have been overrun with patients, Bruno Covas said at a press conference on Sunday night.
 
"We are nearing the most difficult time. Our intensive care beds are at 90 per cent capacity," and the regular hospital beds are at 76 per cent capacity, said Covas.
 
With the healthcare infrastructure already stretched to the limit, the infection rate continued to run high and new cases continue to rise, he added.
 
On Saturday, Brazil's confirmed coronavirus cases passed those of Spain and Italy. 
 
As of Sunday, Sao Paulo, home to 20 million residents, reported 62,345 cases and 4,782 deaths from Covid-19. In total, Brazil has 241,080, with 16,118 deaths.
 
Three days ago, Brazil  lost its second health minister in a month after President Jair Bolsonaro demanded wider use of unproven anti-malarial drugs to fight the coronavirus outbreak. 
 
Nelson Teich, an oncologist and healthcare entrepreneur, gave no reason for quitting in brief comments to journalists on Friday.
 
But his predecessor, Luiz Mandetta was sacked after disagreeing with Mr. Bolsonaro over social isolation measures, which Bolsonaro dismissed as unnecessary.

California pastor, who defied advice and held a Mother's Day singing service, tests positive for COVID-19






A pastor in California has been hospitalized with pneumonia resulting from coronavirus, after holding a Mother's Day Church service with singing despite officials specifically advising him not to due to the spread of respiratory droplets.
 
Redwood Valley Assembly of God Church pastor Jack McMilin has tested positive for Coronavirus and was hospitalized on Saturday.
 
On May 10, McMilin held a Mother's Day service at Redwood Valley Assembly of God church, despite specific orders not to.
 

 
Then, on May 11, he shared a Facebook post of a woman holding a placard that reads: "Why can we go to Walmart but not Church!??"
 
McMilin captioned the photo: "We need to start asking this more often and with greater volume."
 

 
The pastor's grandson, Jason Bright, announced McMilin's diagnosis on Facebook. He left a video message in a Facebook group where churchgoers showed oppositions to lockdowns and his wife Sharon also posted on Facebook. 
 
Sharon told members: "I was going post something in place of pastor sermon today but I’ve been on phone with so many people and health department that I didn’t get it done. Just remember God is a big and mighty God and he’s got us covered, remember Pastor Jack in the hospital with pneumonia from the Covid 19 virus. Thank you for all the prayers!"

Mayor lies in coffin and pretends to be dead Coronavirus victim to avoid arrest after breaking curfew rules to go drinking







Jamie Rolando Urbina Torres, the mayor of a small town in Peru, lay in a coffin and pretended to be a dead Coronavirus patient to avoid being arrested.
 
Torres was caught by police violating coronavirus lockdown rules while drinking with friends. When officers came to arrest him in the town of Tantará, in the south of the country, he lay down in an open casket and played dead.
 
A photo of the mayor wearing a face mask and lying in the coffin has been circulated online.
 
Police say he violated curfew and social distancing laws in order to drink liquor with his friends, and was drunk when he was arrested.
 
It is not clear exactly where he and his friends were drinking, or why there were open caskets there.
 

 
Torres has previously been accused by locals of failing to take the threat of the virus seriously and failing to implement safety precautions in the town. Locals say Torres has spent just eight days in the town since the start of the lockdown, and has failed to put in place any local safety measures.

Former White House butler, Wilson Roosevelt Jerman who served 11 presidents including Barrack Obama dies of Coronavirus at 91








Wilson Roosevelt Jerman, a former White House butler who served 11 US presidents from Dwight D. Eisenhower to Barack Obama has died of Coronavirus at 91.
 
His granddaughter, Jamila Garrett confirmed to Fox News that Mr. Wilson' died on Friday, May 15.
 
Wilson Roosevelt Jerman was one of the longest-serving employees, beginning his five-and-a half-decade career in 1957 as a cleaner under the Dwight Eisenhower administration.
 
He was promoted to a butler by Former First Lady, Jackie Kennedy when John F. Kennedy came into office in the 1960s.

'Jackie O actually promoted him to a butler because of the relationship. She was instrumental in ensuring that that happened,’ Garrett said.
 
Garrett described Jerman as a ‘family-loving, genuine man’. She said ‘he was always about service, service to others, and it didn’t matter who you were or what you did or what you needed, whatever that he could provide you with.’
 
‘I want the world to remember my grandfather as someone who was really authentic,’ Garrett said.

‘Always being yourself. That’s what he taught our family, that’s what thrives throughout our family. And that’s what we’ll continue to carry on, his legacy.’
 
She said that her grandfather also got to work closely with the Bush family when former President George H. W. Bush came to power in 1989.
 
‘When Bush Sr. became president and moved his family into the White House,’ Garrett told the network, ‘George Bush Jr. has a little trouble adapting to a new environment, some trouble sleeping. Well, my grandfather would actually sit with him in his bedroom until he fell asleep.’
 
Former President George W. Bush and former First Lady Laura Bush remembered Jerman fondly in a statement to NBC.

‘He was a lovely man,’ the Bushes said. ‘He was the first person we saw in the morning when we left the residence and the last person we saw each night when we returned.’
 
Garrett issued a statement of gratitude to Michelle Obama, whose husband was the last president Jerman served under.
 
The former first lady included a photograph of Jerman in her bestselling memoir, Becoming. The image shows Jerman beaming toward the camera with the Obamas having a laugh behind him in an elevator.
 
‘I want to say thank you so much, so much to Michelle Obama for including him in her book,’ she said. ‘You know, just considering that we aren’t able to grieve normally, physically together, that is one way that we are able to still feel connected to his success and connected to so much that he promoted around authenticity and building relationships.’
 
Wilson Roosevelt Jerman retired in 2012 after he reduced his role to part-time.

For the first time since March, New York City reports no new Coronavirus deaths in a single day






New York City might be seeing a relief in it's battle against the Coronavirus pandemic as it recorded no deaths in a single day for the first time since March.
 
According to preliminary data from the New York City's health department, zero deaths were confirmed within a 24-hour period between Tuesday and Wednesday.

The latest figures offer a welcome glimmer of hope following weeks and months that have seen thousands of deaths in America's commercial capital.
 

 
New York City's death toll currently stands at 21,752 and even though the death toll did increase by 59 on Wednesday, those deaths had taken place on previous dates rather than in the 24-hour period from Tuesday to Wednesday. 
 
The last time New York saw an increase of zero daily deaths was on March 12 - one day after the first death was confirmed in the city.
 
Health officials in New York cautioned that it's still possible that the number could be upgraded due to lag times in reporting, because the three probable Coronavirus deaths during that period are still under investigation.  
 

 
'This is great news,' Mayor Bill de Blasio's press secretary Freddi Goldstein told the New York Daily News on Thursday night.
'In the face of extraordinary challenges, New Yorkers have gone above and beyond to keep each other safe throughout the crisis,' De Blasio's spokeswoman Avery Cohen said.
'With hope on the horizon, we will continue to do everything we can to reopen safely without losing sight of the progress we've made.'

Brazil overtakes Italy as country with third-highest Coronavirus deaths; Toll tops 34,000







Brazil has overtaken Italy as the country with the third-highest Coronavirus death toll after a daily record of 1,473 fatalities took its total tally to more than 34,000.
 
The figure published by Brazil’s health ministry on Thursday night showed that only the United States and the United Kingdom have registered more deaths from the disease. 
 
 The official number of infections rose to nearly 615,000, the second-largest caseload in the world, behind the US.
 

 
Shortly before the numbers were released, Brazil’s president Jair Bolsonaro said in an online broadcast: “We can’t go on like this. Nobody can take it anymore,” Bolsonaro said of the stay-at-home measures, being implemented by state governors and mayors across Brazil even as the number of infections and deaths continues to increase. 
 
“The collateral impact will be far greater than those people who unfortunately lost their lives because of these last three months here,” Bolsonaro said.

COVID-19: Brazil threatens to pull out of WHO as Chloroquine trial begins


 June 6, 2020


Brazilian President, Jair Bolsonaro has threatened to pull the country out of the World Health Organisation (WHO).

“The U.S. has already withdrawn. Either the WHO works without any ideological prejudices or we are out,” he said.
Bolsanaro speaking to CNN Brasil on Friday night, cited the decision by WHO to resume the testing of hydroxychloroquine on COVID-19 patients after weeks of suspension.
“We do not need any people from outside to give us tips about health here.

“What do we need this WHO for? The WHO recommended a few days ago not to carry on with the study into hydroxychloroquine, and now they are restarting it,” he said.

Brazil is one of the hardest-hit countries in the world by the Coronavirus pandemic.
Atleast 646,000 cases have been recorded, and more than 35,000 deaths recorded from the virus so far.

Recall that President Donald Trump sometime in May announced that the U.S. would be withdrawing its relationship with the WHO.
He accused WHO of mishandling the coronavirus pandemic which broke out from China.

[b]Coronavirus: New Zealand Wipes Out COVID-19 After Last Person Infected Recovers

Coronavirus: New Zealand wipes out COVID-19 after last person infected recovers[/b]

Following New Zealand's progress, ministers have agreed another phase of the country's reopening from midnight.

New Zealand has successfully wiped out coronavirus after the final person known to have been infected recovered.

Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern said she was confident the country had halted the spread of COVID-19, but said it would "almost certainly" see more cases in the future.

"We are confident we have eliminated transmission of the virus in New Zealand for now, but elimination is not a point in time, it is a sustained effort," she told a news conference.

"I do want to say again, we will almost certainly see cases here again, and that is not a sign that we have failed, it is a reality of this virus. But if and when that occurs we have to make sure, and we are, that we are prepared."

It has been 17 days since the last new case was reported, with 40,000 tested in that time.

Monday also marked the first time since late February that there have been no active cases.


Following the country's progress, ministers have approved another phase of reopening from midnight, Ms Ardern said.

She said the government's focus would be on the country's borders, where isolation and quarantine will continue.

New Zealand's director-general of health, Ashley Bloomfield, said having no new cases was a "significant mark in our journey", but added that "ongoing vigilance against COVID-19 will continue to be essential".

A number of factors have helped the nation of five million eradicate the disease swiftly, according to experts.

Its isolated location in the South Pacific provided it time to observe how outbreaks spread in other countries, and Ms Arden acted decisively by imposing a strict lockdown early in the outbreak.

Around 1,500 people contracted coronavirus in New Zealand, with just 22 deaths.

Meanwhile, China has reported four new cases, all of them brought from outside the country. The country officially announced a total of 4,634 deaths out of 83,040 total cases since the virus was first detected in the city of Wuhan late last year.

South Korea reported 38 new cases, more of them in the Seoul region, as schools fully reopened on Monday. Health minister Park Neunghoo called for officials to examine supplies of testing equipment in case infections continue.

[b]Israel Shuts Schools As Pupils & Teachers Contract COVID-19 After Reopening


Nine Schools in Five Cities Closed in Israel After Pupils Contract COVID-19[/b]

Nine schools across the country were closed on Wednesday after pupils there contracted COVID-19. The Ministry of Education reported that 2,000 pupils and staff members were placed in quarantine or told to self-isolate, bringing the total number of people under quarantine in connection to schools to 6,831. According to the ministry, there are currently 244 pupils and staff with confirmed COVID-19.

Three schools in Tel Aviv – Hatarden, Hagalil and Keshet – closed their doors and will move to a remote teaching mode by Friday, after one pupil in each of these schools was found to be sick with the coronavirus. Two high schools in Bat Yam – Milton and Shazar – were closed after three people were found to be sick with COVID-19. All pupils in these schools have been placed under quarantine. One pupil in Be’er Sheva was found to be sick as well, leading to the closing of the Gimmel comprehensive school she attended.

The multi-disciplinary school in Hadera was also closed after two more pupils were found to be sick, in addition to a pupil and a teacher. The school’s 2,196 pupils, 217 teachers and 33 administrative staff were instructed to go into quarantine. Two schools were closed down in Jerusalem as well: the Seligsberg high school, with two sick pupils, and the Zalman Aran school, where the number of sick pupils rose to three.

Over the last week, schools were closed in Holon, Ashdod, Rahat, Ar’ara and the al-Kasom regional council in the Negev. All pupils and staff were sent into isolation until epidemiological tests are completed. The Jerusalem Municipality has suspended extracurricular activities until further notice.

Last Monday, Education Minister Yoav Galant announced that any school in which a confirmed case of COVID-19 is established must be closed. Galant’s statement came a day after the Health Ministry distributed its recommended procedures when a confirmed case is established in an educational institution. The procedures, designed by Prof. Siegal Sadetzky, head of public health services at the Ministry of Health, recommends closing institutions in which more than three cases of COVID-19 are determined.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held a meeting on Monday to assess the situation regarding an outbreak of the virus in reopened schools, after which he said that studies would not be suspended in a sweeping manner, only in cases of contagion.

President Magufuli declares Tanzania free of Coronavirus







President John Magufuli of Tanzania on Monday June 8, declared the East African country "coronavirus-free". 
 
The President who attributed the claimed success over the worldwide pandemic to prayers and fasting that the people of Tanzania offered to God,  also commended the priest and worshippers for not wearing gloves and masks to protect themselves from the virus.
 
Magufuli said; 
 

“It gives me joy to be the leader of a country that puts God first, God loves Tanzania. 

“The works of the devil will always be defeated in Tanzania because Tanzanians love God and that is why even the corona has been defeated by God.”

 
This is coming after the World Health Organization (WHO) expressed concern over the government's strategy on the pandemic which includes not publishing data on the number of Coronavirus cases in the country.
 
As at April 29 when the last official data was released, 509 cases and 21 deaths had been recorded in Tanzania.
 
BBC reported that Mr Magufuli had said last week that only four patients were receiving treatment in the largest city, Dar es Salaam. He also dismissed a US embassy warning that hospitals in Dar es Salaam were "overwhelmed" and that the chances of contracting the virus was "extremely high".
 
Kenya closed its borders with Tanzania and Somalia due to rising cases of imported COVID-19 cases.
