Around The World With COVID-19
Probably too late, Iran is finally warning its citizens that millions of Iranians could die in the pandemic if they ignore the health guidelines. Those are basically the same health guidelines virtually no one is following in any of the Trump counties and states. Until recently Iran has followed the same basic guidelines as Trump-- basically ignoring the outbreak and hoping it would go away. There are no accurate numbers available from Iran but you get stories about bodies piling in morgues, mass graves and many thousands of critically ill people in swamped hospitals without the... more »

I often get asked - “How long is this COVID19 pandemic going to last?”. The answer, according to the WHO, is that it is up to us. We can stop this. The only question is whether we will. Most countries in the world are acting vigorously to stop it with rigorous case finding, contact tracing and isolation. But the UK and, sadly, Netherlands have decided to follow another direction. This can only be stopped if all countries are in it together, and for just one country to depart from this strategy means the virus will continue in that country and reinfect the rest of the world, at lea... more »

Whereas the religious believe, but faith – when it is not alive – mak... more »
