President Donald Trump boasted on Sunday morning that his recent fight with coronavirus has made him “immune” to COVID-19 and therefore a better president, speaking about himself in the third-person while declaring he’s in “very good shape to fight the battles.” Calling into pro-Trump Fox News host Maria Bartiromo for the second time in four days, the president hyped up the recent statement from White House physician Dr. Sean Conley—who has admittedly lied about the president’s coronavirus diagnosis in the past—that claims he is no longer considered a transmission risk. “Does this suggest you no longer have COVID, sir?” Bartiromo asked. […]
Moments after Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden said next week’s debate should be canceled if President Donald Trump still has coronavirus, Fox News senior political analyst Brit Hume dismissed that idea out of hand, saying the debate needs to occur even if Trump shows up infected. With the president still recovering from his COVID-19 diagnosis that resulted in a three-day hospital stay in Walter Reed, Biden told reporters on Tuesday night that while he’s “looking forward” to debating Trump on Oct. 15, they “have to follow very strict guidelines” for it to happen. “I think if he still has COVID, then […]
Dr. Michael Ryan, the head of emergencies at the World Health Organization (WHO), revealed Monday that the agency’s “best estimates” suggest that around 1 in 10 people worldwide may have been infected by COVID-19, which would be more than 20 times the number of confirmed cases. While speaking at a session of the WHO’s 34-member executive board, Ryan revealed that the figures vary between urban and rural areas. However, the high infection rate suggests that the “vast majority of the world remains at risk.” He also warned that the pandemic would continue to evolve. However, he noted that the necessary tools […]
US President Donald Trump has confirmed that he and First Lady Melania Trump have both tested positive for the coronavirus, just hours after it was learned a senior aide had contracted the illness. “Tonight, [the first lady] and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER!” the president tweeted in the early hours of Friday morning. Tonight, @FLOTUS and I tested positive for COVID-19. We will begin our quarantine and recovery process immediately. We will get through this TOGETHER! — Donald J.

New findings have revealed that Manaus, the largest city in Brazil’s Amazon, is one of the most coronavirus-infected cities in the world, with 44 to 66 percent of the population having been infected. Gordon Dougan, professor of microbial pathogenesis at the University of Cambridge, believes that Manaus is a unique place due to the sheer numbers of the infected and its geographical isolation. Sputnik: New data has shown that 44 to 66 percent of the population of Manaus has been infected with COVID-19. How is herd immunity achieved? Professor Dougan: So there’re two ways you can achieve herd immunity. One is, […]
As students return to college campuses, the surrounding communities are seeing an increase in coronavirus infections Michael Conroy/AP hide caption toggle caption Michael Conroy/AP As students return to college campuses, the surrounding communities are seeing an increase in coronavirus infections Michael Conroy/AP Young adults are driving coronavirus infections in the U.S., and are likely spreading the virus to older, more vulnerable populations, according to a recent report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Early in the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults were more likely to get infected, but when researchers analyzed cases from June to August, they found that people […]
A cybersecurity firm has unearthed a monero mining script embedded in a public instance of an Amazon Web Service (AWS) virtual machine. Now the firm is raising the question: How many other community Amazon Machine Instances (AMIs) are infected with the same malware? Researchers at Mitiga revealed in a blog post Friday an AWS AMI for a Windows 2008 virtual server hosted by an unverified vendor is infected with a Monero mining script. The malware would have infected any device running the AMI with the purpose of using the device’s processing power to mine the privacy coin monero in the background […]
At least 41 schools in Berlin say that hundreds of their students and teachers are in quarantine, less than two weeks after schools reopened their doors in the German capital. Elementary schools, high schools and trade schools are all affected, the daily Berliner Zeitung wrote on Friday, and city education authorities confirmed these figures to AP. The reopening of schools and the possible risks of virus clusters are hotly debated in Germany. There are 825 schools in Berlin. Some states in the country are still on summer vacation, while others have been back to school for about two weeks. Also on […]

Rep. Louie Gohmert (R-TX) tested positive for the COVID-19 China coronavirus Wednesday. In a statement posted online and in an interview with KETK-TV, Gohmert speculated on whether wearing a mask played a role in his being infected with the virus. That prompted mockery by reporters and others who apparently are unaware that both the World Health Organization and the Surgeon General have cautioned that mishandling of coronavirus masks could cause infection. Gohmert says he feels fine and is asymptomatic. He is driving home to Texas from D.C. to quarantine at home. Gohmert said to KETK, “It’s really ironic, because, you know, […]
A man who crossed into North Korea and put the city of Kaesong on high alert because he had symptoms resembling coronavirus is unlikely to have been a transmitter of the deadly contagion, Seoul’s health officials have claimed. The man in question – who fled from the North three years ago – returned to his homeland on July 19. He reportedly showed up in Kaesong, his home city, and on-site medical screening returned “uncertain results,” Pyongyang’s state media reported. Fearing that he could become North Korea’s patient zero, the authorities immediately called a meeting to address an emergency “that may lead […]
New Delhi (Sputnik): Earlier this week, the verified accounts of several well-known people including Barack Obama, Kim Kardashian West and Elon Musk were hacked by crypto-criminals, who posted infected Bitcoin links to lure their victims into a scam. The crypto hack has now reached India via YouTube. Ajay Nagar, one of India’s most popular YouTubers, who also goes by the name of CarryMinati and has over 16 million subscribers, reported that one of his two channels on the Google-owned platform had been hacked, displaying suspicious Bitcoin links to the followers. CarryMinati is the first public figure in India who has been targeted […]
A football match that had been hoping to attract hundreds of paying fans to watch players with the novel coronavirus take on opponents who were yet to be infected has reportedly been dashed after police discovered the plan. Local reports in Spain said that a 23-year-old had put up posters to promote a “coronavirus fundraiser” in the city of Pamplona, which is thought to be one of the hotspots for infections in a country where police have enforced punishments for breaking a stringent lockdown. The friendly match was billed as the “the Mendillori kickabout” – named after the district where the […]
A new study published last week in the journal JAMA Neurology found that COVID-19 may cause neurological symptoms in children. The study, which was published online on July 1, identified neurological manifestations in four out of 27 COVID-19 patients who were under the age of 18. Those four patients, who were previously healthy, had several neurological symptoms including encephalopathy, which is a broad term to describe brain changes that lead to an altered mental state, muscle weakness and reduced reflexes. Other symptoms included impaired consciousness, seizures, acute cerebrovascular disease, which refers to a group of conditions that affect blood vessels and […]
Coronavirus transforms the infected cells in a highly unusual manner, forcing them to grow long, protruding branches, which penetrate multiple healthy cells at once, a new study has found. Scientists took a closer look at the effects of SARS-CoV-2 – the coronavirus that causes Covid-19 – through a powerful microscope at the National Institutes of Health laboratory in the US and the University of Freiburg in Germany. The virus makes the infected cells sprout multi-pronged spaghetti-like ‘tentacles’ reaching out for several still-healthy cells nearby. The virus seems to use these branching structures, called filopodia, like syringes to prod other cells and […]
Coronavirus may have infected 10 times more Americans than reported, CDC says by Steve Holland/Reuters WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Government experts believe more than 20 million Americans could have contracted the coronavirus, 10 times more than official counts, indicating many people without symptoms have or have had the disease, senior administration officials said. The estimate, from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, is based on serology testing used to determine the presence of antibodies that show whether an individual has had the disease, the officials said. The officials, speaking to a small group of reporters on Wednesday night, said the estimate […]
We first reported on March 17, 2020, on the controversial Ethiopian politician and Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO), Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, and his irresponsible and criminal fear mongering. Tedros claimed in a press conference in early March that the fatality rate for the coronavirus was 3.4% — many multiples that of the fatality rate of the common flu which is estimated to be around 0.1%. This egregiously false premise led to the greatest global panic in world history. The Director General of the WHO spoke on March 3, 2020 and shared this related to the coronavirus: While many […]

Downing Street and the Labour Party have become embroiled in a spat over official UK government guidance issued in February over the risk Covid-19 poses to care homes, with each side accusing the other of misleading the public. During PMQs in the House of Commons on Wednesday, Labour leader Keir Starmer quoted from the Public Health England (PHE) document – which remained in force until March 13. It stated that “It remains very unlikely that people receiving care in a care home or the community will become infected.” PM Boris Johnson responded by claiming that it “wasn’t true that the advice […]
Washington State Governor Jay Inslee gave an update on reopening Washington’s economy and contact tracing during the coronavirus pandemic.

While the pandemic is raging across the world, some facts about the virus remain unclear and new studies may reveal truly bizarre details about the disease. Chinese scholars have found coronavirus material in the sperm of infected men, new research, published on Jama Network says. According to a paper written by Weiguo Zhao and Shixi Zhang, “SARS-CoV-2 can be present in the semen of patients with COVID-19, and SARS-CoV-2 may still be detected in the semen of recovering patients”. Medics tested 38 male patients from central China infected with the coronavirus and discovered that six of them had virus material in their semen. […]
Fox News host Pete Hegseth, an informal Trump adviser who was once considered to run the Veterans Affairs administration, on Thursday called upon healthy Americans to “have some courage” and leave their homes to get infected by the coronavirus in order to help attain “herd immunity.” Broadcasting from what appeared to be his home, Hegseth—serving as the female-centric Fox News panel show Outnumbered’s lone male host—weighed in on President Donald Trump using the term “warriors” to describe the American people as he pushes for the country’s economy to reopen amid the coronavirus pandemic and the possibility of a surge in deaths.

Seniors With COVID-19 Show Unusual Symptoms, Doctors Say by Judith Graham/Medscape Nurses Older adults with COVID-19, the illness caused by the coronavirus, have several “atypical” symptoms, complicating efforts to ensure they get timely and appropriate treatment, according to physicians. COVID-19 is typically signaled by three symptoms: a fever, an insistent cough and shortness of breath. But older adults — the age group most at risk of severe complications or death from this condition ― may have none of these characteristics. Instead, seniors may seem “off” — not acting like themselves ― early on after being infected by the coronavirus. They may […]
More than 90,000 medics have been infected with Covid-19 around the globe, the International Council of Nurses (ICN) said, warning the actual number could be two times higher and sounding alarm over protective equipment shortages. The figure “has risen from 23,000 to we think more than 90,000, but that is still an under-estimation because it is not (covering) every country in the world,” Howard Catton, the ICN’s head, told Reuters. The numbers provided by the group were based on data from national nursing associations, government releases and media reports in 30 countries. But the actual figure of infected health professionals could […]
