Protests in the US continue for days with overnight clashes with police and protestors for the killing of George Floyd, an unarmed black man in Minneapolis. The WHO has been getting flask from all around for praising the effort of China in the coronavirus outbreak. According to China, they did everything to prevent and warn the world about it. But the article published by the Associated Press goes in the details about events that followed from the starting of the Coronavirus outbreak back in December 2019.
Italy is seeing new Protests
Italy sees the new anti government movements from a group called ‘Orange Vests.’ And the group is led by a former Police General who is calling for the Government to resign over how it handled the Coronavirus crisis in the country.
Hundreds of protesters gathered in support of the Police General, and they chanted ‘Liberta!’, asking for resignations. Describing themselves as the right-libertarian, the Police General says that the coronavirus pandemic does not exist.
Questions over Data Used in COVID studies
Two very influential medical journals have issued concerns about the data used in the different coronavirus studies. A study by the Lancet shows that administering the hydroxychloroquine to the coronavirus patients was linked to an increased rate of mortality and causes serious heart rhythm problems.
They published their paper to alert the readers about the fact that serious scientific questions have been brought to our attention.
In another study, it is found that heart disease drugs, ACE inhibitors, didn’t worsen the risk of death for COVID patients. The data used in both of the studies was provided by Surgisphere, which is a public service organization. Surgisphere describes itself as the public service organization dedicated to making the world a better place.
Scientists conducting the studies concluded that data mix up did not affect the results of the studies, which begs the question over the data.
