Indian holy man who claimed he could perform 'COVID exorcisms' by kissing people's hands, has died of Coronavirus after infecting 20 people
An Indian holy man who claimed he could perform COVID-19 exorcisms by kissing people's hands, has died from the disease after infecting 20 of his followers during the spiritual practice. According to Times of India, the tantric man, from Ratlam in Madhya Pradesh, would kiss the hands of his devotees and then tell them it would make their problems go away. He also claimed that his 'kiss-cure' worked on Coronavirus patients even after health authorities warned that the virus can spread through contagious droplets from the mouth or nose. Health department officials said the man contracted coronavirus himself, testing positive for the killer disease on June 3 and dying just a day later. When officials began contact tracing, they took 40 swab samples to identify further cases. Surprisingly, twenty of the swabs returned a positive result, including from seven members of the man's family. Swab collector Ruchika Chouhan identified 29 more people involved in similar coronavirus 'exorcisms' and has since put them in quarantine. India has so far recorded 298,283 known cases of Coronavirus and 8,498 deaths.

Bodies are exhumed in Brazil to make way for more dead bodies as the country's Coronavirus death toll surpasses that of the UK making it the second highest in the world (photos)
Bodies are at the moment being exhumed in Brazil to make way for Coronavirus death victims as the country’s death toll reaches 41,828, surpassing that of the UK after reporting 909 deaths this weekend. Sao Paulo, Brazil's most populated city, is now freeing up space at its city's graveyards by digging up the bodies of people buried at least 3 years ago and storing their bagged remains in large metal containers. According to the Sao Paolo government, in a statement released on Saturday, the dead bodies will be stored temporarily in 12 storage containers the city’s funeral service has purchased. Brazil, now the hardest-hit Latin American nation with more than 828,000 confirmed virus cases, also has the second-highest death toll from COVID-19 behind the United States. Speaking on the issue, Dr Michael Ryan, the World Health Organisation’s emergencies chief said: ‘Overall the health system is still coping in Brazil, although, having said that, with the sustained number of severe cases that remains to be seen, clearly the health system across the country needs significant support in order to sustain its effort in this regard. But the data we have at the moment supports a system under pressure, but a system still coping with the number of severe cases" b

We’re analysing new COVID-19 'miracle' drug, it's a welcome news - WHO
The United Nations Health Agency, the World Health Organisation (WHO) has revealed the organization is analyzing dexamethasone, a steroid that scientists from the United Kingdom (UK) say can save the lives of critically ill COVID-19 patients. Scientists from the University of Oxford, UK, announced on Tuesday that they had found dexamethasone cured patients critically ill with Coronavirus. Reacting to the latest discovery, WHO Director-General, Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus says an in-depth analysis of the drug will be carried out before issuing clinical guidance on how and when the drug should be used. Dr Tedros in a statement on Wednesday said; “This is a welcome news. I congratulate the Government of the United Kingdom, University of Oxford, the research groups, hospitals, patients and families who have collectively contributed to this lifesaving breakthrough. “WHO looks forward to learning more about the dexamethasone study. This is the first treatment to be shown to reduce mortality in severely ill patients with COVID-19 requiring oxygen or ventilator support. “There are many ongoing clinical trials for COVID-19, including the Solidarity Trial launched by WHO and partners. It is hoped that more treatments under clinical evaluation will result in improving patient outcomes and save lives. “While we are searching for COVID-19 treatments, we must continue strong efforts to prevent as many infections as possible by finding, isolating, testing and caring for every case; and tracing and quarantining every contact.”

Brazil passes 1 million Coronavirus cases after 54,771 tested positive in one day
Brazil has become the second country in the world after the US to confirm more than one million cases of COVID-19. The health ministry on Friday night reported 54,771 new cases, the highest daily increase in any country since the pandemic began, taking the total to 1,032,913. The officials said about half of increase was due to delayed reporting in three states, including São Paulo In addition, there were more than 1,200 deaths for the fourth consecutive day, taking the total to nearly 49,000. President Jair Bolsonaro has been heavily criticised for his response to the crisis. The far-right leader has repeatedly clashed with state governors and mayors over their strict restrictions to curb the spread of the virus. His approach has also led to the resignation of two health ministers. The United States has the highest cases and deaths in the World. More than 2.2 million cases and over 120,000 deaths have been confirmed in America.

Coronavirus is getting weaker and may die out on its own without a vaccine, Italian expert claims
A top Italian doctor has claimed that the deadly Coronavirus is getting weaker and could die out on its own without a vaccine. Professor Matteo Bassetti said he is convinced the virus is "changing in severity" and patients are now surviving coronavirus infections that would have previously killed them. He described coronavirus as once an "aggressive tiger" of a disease, which has now weakened and turned into more of a wild cat. If the virus keeps getting weaker, there's a chance COVID-19 could disappear without a need for a vaccine. Professor Bassetti has continually said that in recent months, patients with the virus seem to be handling it much better than they were at the beginning of the global pandemic in Italy. Professor Bassetti suggests that the strain of coronavirus could be mutating and becoming weaker, making it less lethal. He also suggested that improved treatments and more social distancing could be the key to why people are handling the virus better than before. Bassetti, the chief of infectious diseases at San Martino General Hospital in Genoa, Italy, told The Sunday Telegraph: "It was like an aggressive tiger in March and April but now it's like a wild cat. "Even elderly patients, aged 80 or 90, are now sitting up in bed and they are breathing without help. "The same patients would have died in two or three days before." He believes that one of the reasons the virus might be causing less serious illnesses is a genetic mutation which has made it less damaging to people's lungs. The Professor added: "The clinical impression I have is that the virus is changing in severity. "In March and early April the patterns were completely different. People were coming to the emergency department with a very difficult to manage illness and they needed oxygen and ventilation, some developed pneumonia. "Now, in the past four weeks, the picture has completely changed in terms of patterns. There could be a lower viral load in the respiratory tract, probably due to a genetic mutation in the virus which has not yet been demonstrated scientifically." However, other scientists have hit back at the claims, saying that there is no scientific evidence that the virus has changed at all. In response to Professor Bassetti's claim, Dr Angela Rasmussen, from Columbia University, tweeted: "There is no evidence that the virus is losing potency anywhere." She added less transmission means fewer hospitalisations and deaths, but warned: "That doesn't mean less virulence." The virulence of a virus is how dangerous the illness is, but may not be directly related to how contagious it is. Dr Oscar MacLean, of the University of Glasgow, added: "These claims are not supported by anything in the scientific literature, and also seem fairly implausible on genetic grounds. "The vast majority of SARS-CoV-2 mutations are extremely rare, and so whilst some infections may be attenuated by certain mutations, they are highly unlikely to be common enough to alter the nature of the virus at a national or global level... "Making these claims on the basis of anecdotal observations from swab tests is dangerous. "Whilst weakening of the virus through mutations is theoretically possible, it is not something we should expect, and any claims of this nature would need to be verified in a more systematic way. "Without significantly stronger evidence, no one should unnecessarily downplay the danger this highly virulent virus poses, and risk the ongoing society-wide response." Dr Seema Yasmin, an epidemiologist from Stanford University, said the idea was "bulls**t."

Nigerians drag China to court over COVID-19 pandemic, demand $200bn compensation
Twenty-five Nigerians have filed a lawsuit against the Peoples Republic of China before the Federal Capital Territory (FCT) High Court over its alleged culpability in the spread of the novel Coronavirus and are demanding a $200 billion compensation over the effects of the pandemic on their livelihoods. A team of 11 Senior Advocates of Nigeria ((SANs) and other lawyers led by Professor Epiphany Azinge (SAN) filed the lawsuit. The lawyers say the COVID-19 pandemic started due to their negligence, nuisance, and breach of environmental and humanitarian rights of the Chinese government. The defendants in the suit were listed as the Peoples’ Republic of China, Communist Party of China, Minister of Justice China, Minister in charge of the National Health Commission, National Health Commission of the People’s Republic of China, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Wuhan Institute of Virology and Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention. The claimant in the class action instituted for themselves and other Nigerians affected by the COVID-19 pandemic include; Kingsley Obioha, Shehu Mohammed Bello, Goodrand Nigeria Limited, Chief Ekene Ebuzeme, Prince Akin Oladipo, Sir Mark Olajide, Mr. Tanko Beji, Chief Victor Nwosa, Chidi Onwuemere, Pasaya Travel and Tours Limited, Trips Shop Limited, Mrs. Susan Akporiaye, Carolyn Asoanya, Jerry Azinge, His Royal Majesty Williams Ezugwu, Ogugua Ogosi. Others are Ayobami Bakare, Olusegun Nelson, Oshineye Adebowole, Adeolu Odusesan, Yinka Omotosho, Mojeed Adelakun, Ajetoke Oyekan, Abdulhakeem Adeleke and Ademola Toromade. According to the 1st Claimant, Kingsley Obioha, a young erudite lawyer who represents the class of legal practitioners in the country, the legal practitioners in the country on account of the pandemic have been unable to conduct legal business and make appearances in court. Quote:“The class due to the impasse and the attendant restrictions continues to incur heavy financial losses” Obioha said In the same vein, Shehu Bello, the 2nd claimant and a Bureau de change operator representing the class of forex traders carrying on business across the country, argued that the forex market was shut down due to the pandemic, causing many forex traders to lose huge returns. Quote:“Most of the operators lost their capital because of the pandemic and with the easing of restrictions are witnessing a volatility of the market leading to a decline in investment,” the claimant said They accused China of failing to act in accordance with the Articles and the provisions of the International Health Regulations, 2005 which it equally ratified on June 15, 2007 (the IHR) and failing to promptly inform the World Health Organisation (WHO) of its discoveries relating to Covid-19. They argue that China's action constitutes a breach of the above Articles, and admittedly an express neglect of an international obligation. Among the reliefs sought include a declaration that the defendants were negligent in their handling of the COVID-19 outbreak which resulted in untold hardship, death, loss of livelihood and disruption of socio-economic activities. Quote:“A declaration that the defendants handling of the Covid-19 outbreak violated the Claimants’ humanitarian rights guaranteed under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, resulting in social exclusion, loss of human dignity psychological trauma and social deprivations,” among others. b

Man stranded in Philippines airport for 110 days due to coronavirus lockdown (photos)
A tourist, Roman Trofimov, is desperate to be rescued after spending 110 days living in an airport in the Philippines due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to Trofimov, who resides in Estonia, he landed in Manila airport from Bangkok on March 20, but was denied access to the country as entry visas were no longer being issued for arrivals due to Covid-19. Trofimov who heads an onward flight to Cebu, in the Philippines, said he booked for the same day he landed in Manila and a return flight to Bangkok for April 2. Both were cancelled due to the coronavirus pandemic. According to him, his passport was then taken from him before he reached immigration personnel. The airline he had travelled to the Philippines with, AirAsia, was then unable to return him to Thailand, as he was told he would have to wait for Enhanced Community Quarantine to be over until he is allowed to travel back. The lockdown, imposed by the Philippine goverment on March 16 restricts all travel for anyone not a diplomat, medical or humanitarian worker. Mr Trofimov, has been sleeping in the airport departures hotel room and surviving on food and snacks donated by staff and likens his situation to a prisoner. According to him he has repeatedly asked his embassy for help but they were unable to organise a repatriation flight. He said: ‘My health is getting worse because of malnutrition, lack of sun, and fresh air. I have no other choice, but to go public please share with news agencies.’ Mr Trofimov told Estonian broadcaster ERR that he can only be ‘taken back by the airline’ which brought him to Manila. He said: ‘They took my passport and will give it back only when I fly to Estonia. But they don’t fly to Estonia, they don’t fly anywhere currently. I am told to wait all the time until flights are restarted. ‘I was offered an opportunity via Turkish Airlines, but they also don’t fly currently. So I am waiting, the departure date has been delayed four times now. They are extending the emergency situation here, the country is still closed.’ ‘My health is getting worse because of malnutrition, lack of sun, and fresh air. I have no other choice, but to go public please share with news agencies.’

Two-year-old girl 'raped while in Coronavirus isolation ward' at South African hospital A two-year-old girl was allegedly raped while in a Coronavirus isolation ward at a hospital in South Africa. The alleged incident happened at the Dr. George Mukhari Academic Hospital in Pretoria. The toddler's aunt, who chose to remain anonymous to protect the identity of the child, said that the girl was sexually abused while admitted at the hospital She said the hospital told to the child's mother that her daughter needed to be placed on an isolation ward after she developed symptoms of Covid-19. After the mother went home, she was contacted later that evening and told the child was crying and appeared to be in serious pain. The aunt said that after the child had been picked up from the hospital, she appeared to be struggling to walk. After the mother closely inspected her child she discovered that there had been 'penetration', according to the aunt. Narrating the ordeal, the aunt told News24: 'The mother and child were referred to the George Mukhari Hospital by the KT Motubatse clinic in Soshanguve on June 15,' told News24. 'The nurses at the clinic said since the child was struggling to breathe, she should be taken to George Mukhari Hospital to be tested for coronavirus. 'The hospital called in the evening and told the mother that the child was crying and in pain. They later called around 11pm and said the child was now sleeping. The hospital staff called again in the morning and told my sister to come and pick up her child because she had been discharged. The hospital said the child had tested negative for Covid-19.' 'I saw that there was something wrong with the child. As the mother was changing the nappy, she discovered some white fluid on her private parts. 'She initially thought it was medication as the child had been in hospital. But the following day, that same whitish fluid was still coming out,' the aunt told local media. The girl was taken back to the hospital where a nurse reportedly confirmed that there was an indication that the child had been raped at the isolation ward. Provincial police spokesperson Brigadier Mathapelo Peters told News24 that a rape case has been opened, with the hospital also conducting its own investigation into the incident. by

Brazil’s media community to sue President Bolsonaro after he stood close to reporters and removed his mask while announcing he tested positive for COVID-19
Brazil's media association said President Bolsonaro knowingly put reporters who stood disturbingly close to him at risk when he removed his face mask as he told them he has tested positive for Covid-19. The group is set to take him to court for the "criminal" act, they announced. Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a staunch coronavirus skeptic, announced to a group of journalists on Tuesday, July 7, that he has Coronavirus. Wearing a simple white mask, Bolsonaro told reporters that his symptoms weren’t severe and "there’s no reason to fear." At one point, the president told them to take a few steps back and removed his mask to speak. "Just look at my face. I’m well, fine, thank God," he said. He then put the mask on again. Reacting to Bolsonaro's action, ABI President Paulo Jeronimo de Sousa said on Wednesday, July 8: "Despite knowing he was infected with Covid-19, President Jair Bolsonaro continues to act in a criminal manner and endanger the lives of others." He added that Bolsonaro broke "the isolation recommended by the doctors" and put at risk the lives of journalists "he considers being supportive" of his policies. According to the ABI head, the President breached Article 131 of Brazil’s Criminal Code which covers transmitting a serious disease to others or acting in a way that may cause contagion. The clause, carrying a fine or a jail sentence of up to four years, will be used in ABI’s lawsuit against the president, de Sousa said.
