  • WHO: Why The US And Europe Are Headed For A Miserable, Deadly Winter

    The World Health Organization knows what the single most effective method of controlling an epidemic is: quarantining. It's complete isolation from other people, including those you'd normally live with and breathe around, to the fullest extent possible. In other words, keeping sick people away from every other person until they're not sick anymore and the chain of transmission has been broken. That means not going to work. It means not going to the grocery store. It means not socializing with friends. It means not having people over at your home. Maria Van Kerkhove Technical Lead for COVID-19, WHO But WHO officials say there's not a country in the world facing rising coronavirus cases that is actually practicing effective, systematic quarantining. New confirmed cases are rising particularly quickly in the US, UK, Italy, and Belgium. However, the increase is not limited to those spots.

  • Argentine expert expresses concern over mass-grave burials of Covid-19 bodies

    Buenos Aires, May 12 (EFE).- Complaints about a lack of proper respect for the dead and their family members are being heard in different parts of the world amid the coronavirus pandemic, as the urgency of caring for sick patients is making the treatment of bodies a matter of secondary importance.(CAMERA: Cecilia Caminos via Zomm and loaned by the EEAF)Statements from the EAAF's executive director, Luis Fondebrider:"Two situations worry me: what we've seen in the United States ... with those mass graves (burials of indigent persons) in New York, which is not a good practice; and I'm very worried about countries like Mexico and Brazil, which even before the coronavirus were very deficient in handling ... unidentified bodies. Mexico has thousands of unidentified bodies because of (organized crime-related) violence. In the case of Brazil, the same thing happens: thousands of bodies end up in unmarked graves due to procedural issues. I applaud that they have been using new protocols but these are situations that always worry us. There were a lot of deaths in Europe and Italy but there weren't as many unidentified bodies, most of them come from hospitals and health centers. Here we have cases of people coming from jails and detention centers and all those gaps holes in the procedures worry us."
