Chancellor Merkel and Minister of Health Spahn spoke of 40,000 people who were acutely infected on Thursday. That was too many, a spokeswoman now admitted.

The Federal Government mentioned too high infection numbers around the federal-state summit on Thursday. A spokeswoman for the Federal Ministry of Health admitted at the weekend that the number of 40,000 people who were acutely infected was incorrect. The Chancellery did not want to comment on Sunday at the request of the Reuters news agency. In fact, based on the figures from the Robert Koch Institute (RKI) on Thursday, just over 29,000 people were infectious.

Chancellor Angela Merkel had spoken on Thursday after the federal-state summit as well as health minister Jens Spahn of 40,000 – almost a third more than the RKI stated. At the same time, Spahn had given this number in a guest post for the Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung (FAZ).

Merkel replied to a journalist’s question about the different parameters she mentioned for possible relaxation: “Today we are currently 40,000 infected and a total of 150,000 to 160,000.”

Spahn had opened a calculation on Wednesday, which is probably the cause of the error: He spoke of157,000 infected and 120,000 recoveredand thus a number of 37,000 acutely infected.

This subtraction obviously ignored the number of deaths, which was over 6000. According to RKI figures, only around 31,000 were infectious. Since the number of people who have been cured has clearly exceeded that of the newly infected for a long time and the number of deaths is also increasing, the number for the day of the Bund-Länder meeting was just over 29,000.

As of Sunday, it has dropped further to a good 25,000. The number is also important with regard topossible loosening of the corona pads . Because to keep theepidemic under control , the infectious must be identified and isolated. For this, the health authorities are being strengthened. The RKI had said that this would probably be possible if the number of new infections was less than 1,000 per day.

In the past two days, this level fell below the mark in the reported cases. However, the RKI points out that various health authorities have not provided any data due to the holiday weekend.

While he was recording himself with his mobile phone, a man (video above) insulted Eric Zemmour verbally in a Parisian street. He later boasted of having spat at him and explained that he had not had a polite conversation with the polemicist because he was “super-strong, debate is impossible”.
On Thursday April the 30th, a young man discovered Eric Zemmour in a Parisian street, apparently out shopping. He immediately insulted him by recording himself with his mobile phone. He then boasted of having spit at him and published the clip on his Snapchat account under the pseudonym “Haram La Gratuité”. On his return home, the person then claimed to have received both support messages from his subscribers and insults from Zemmour’s “followers”. However, he admitted that he “should not have insulted him” and stated that “it is impossible to talk to him, he is superstrong, debate is impossible”. “It’s as if I wanted to talk to Marine Le Pen,” he continued, “apart from insulting his mother, what do you want to do?

Comment by Dani Klein on Facebook:
A young man, who is obviously suffering from Ramadan fasting, discovers Eric Zemmour in a Parisian street and starts recording himself: “Son of a bitch, fuck your mother well!

Under the nickname “Haram La Gratuité” (Haram, the groundlessness) he posts the video on Snapchat and explains: “It’s impossible to talk to him, he’s super-strong, the discussion is not possible”.

The author Pierre Duriot (FB, 01.05) notices that monsieur Haram does not make it difficult for the police to track him down: “This means that he is convinced of his impunity.

That’s right. Those who belong to the fasting community have nothing to fear from French justice.

Tensions  in Italy have triggered a furious response from citizens who fear mass starvation and financial collapse in the third biggest economy in the eurozone. Italy – one of the hardest-hit countries from the coronavirus pandemic – will start to ease its two-month strict lockdown from Monday. However, tensions across the country are still intensifying with many residents in fear that the virus chaos may still spark mass starvation. In recent days, fury has erupted with fights breaking out between shoppers at a series of supermarkets.

One incident that went viral on social media showed a desperate family pleading with a police officer after they were unable to withdraw their grandmother’s pension – the family’s sole income.

In another video, supermarket shoppers erupted into a brawl after several people attacked one shopper for refusing to wear a face mask.

One Priest told the Guardian: “Now people are more afraid — not so much of the virus, but of poverty. Many are out of work and hungry. There are now long queues at food banks.”

Another piece of footage showed a fight breaking out in a supermarket after a customer refused to pay for his shopping, insisting he “had not money but still had to eat”.

People across the nation have been trying to help in the hunger crisis by filling baskets with food and leaving them in the streets for poverty-stricken residents to take what they need, reported Business Insider.

Meanwhile, police officers have been forced to guard supermarkets in Palermo, the capital city of Sicily, after a private Facebook group currently under investigation urged people to organise large raids on grocery stores and markets.

On Friday, Prime Minister Giuseppe Conte took to Facebook to publicly apologize to Italians for delays in distributing emergency coronavirus financial aid.

Mr Conte said he was open to a further easing of lockdown measures, once construction and manufacturing activities resume next week. 

Retailers and museums are currently set to reopen on May 18 and bars and restaurants later in June.

The Italian Government is desperately trying to limit the economic impact of the pandemic, which could cause unprecedented economic collapse.

Mr Conte, who approved an initial 25 billion-euro package of measures in March, plans to fund another stimulus package for the economy worth 55 billion euros.

Despite this, Italy’s  retailers association claimed on Saturday that consumer spending in the country will see a huge 84 billion-euro drop this year. 

Earlier this week, Italy’s credit rating was cut by Fitch to a step just above junk.

One taxi driver Claudio told Sky News: “The virus has lost its punch here, still it won’t take much and we’ll be starving soon. I’m really scared. Because if you have debts or get behind on your mortgage, you can’t get new loans from the bank.”

Migrants have now burned down significant portions of their camps in three separate incidents following riots and ethnic clashes, and despite Greece dealing with coronavirus lockdowns and a crashing economy, Amnesty International is now calling for Greek authorities to evacuate migrants from Greek islands camps to the mainland.

The incidents on the Greek islands follow a long history of migrants starting fires in their own camps, both in Greece and other European nations.

On April 26 and the other on April 27, three separate fires ripped through the Vathy camp on the Greek island of Samos, leaving tents and containers destroyed and 200 residents homeless. Greek authorities say the fires started due to clashes between people living inside the camp, and ethnic tensions may have been a factor in those clashes.

Unconfirmed reports from Ekathimerini also indicate that migrants fueled the second fire in an effort to be taken out of the Vathy camp, which houses 7,000 migrants despite being meant to fit 648.

Two weeks ago, fires broke out following a riot inside the Vial camp on Chios island that left hundreds of residents homeless. During the riots, migrants attacked police and set fires following rumors that a 47-year-old woman in the camp died of coronavirus. The rumors later turned out to be false after health officials stated that the woman died for reasons unrelated to the coronavirus. Three migrants were arrested in relation to the arson.

According to the Greek migration ministry secretary Manos Logothetis, the facility of the European asylum service on Chios was also destroyed during the riots.

“A large part of the camp’s administrative services was destroyed,” Logothetis said.

Migrants have repeatedly set their housing facilities on fire

Migrants setting fire to their own housing and camp facilities is not a new phenomenon. For example, in 2016, the BBC reported that nine people from Senegal, Iraq, Syria, and Cameroon, were arrested after a massive fire broke out in the Moria camp on the Greek island of Lesbos.

Rami Alam, an Egyptian migrant living in the camp, said according to Middle East Eye that the “fire was started on purpose and that the perpetrators intended to repeat the act if they were not moved from the camp onto the mainland”.

“I heard many [migrants] speaking today who said ‘this is just the beginning’,” he told MEE. “They said ‘we will burn it again if we must stay here’. They want to leave, they want to go to Europe. They want Europe to have a solution for the refugees. I’m so worried. I know they will do it again.”

“No it wasn’t an accident. Definitely not, it was on purpose. If any fights happen again they will do it again, they will burn the fields and the camp,” he added.

Alam wasn’t wrong, and migrants have intentionally set fires in a bid to force authorities to send them to mainland Greece on many occasions, a move that Amnesty International had made no effort to condemn.

In 2016, migrants also set fire to a migrant housing center on the island of Lampedua in “protest” over conditions inside the facility, which involved lighting mattresses ablaze. 

Once again in 2017, migrants set fire to the Moria camp on Lesbos after a woman and her six-year-old child died in a gas cylinder explosion while they were cooking. Migrants, reacting to what was clearly an accident, reacted by rioting and committing arson.

In 2019, migrants once again set the Moria camp on fire on Lesbos during rioting, with two separate fires started within 20 minutes of each other, resulting in the death of a mother and her child. Notably, migrants demanded access to the mainland of Greece during the riots, according to RFE/RL.

Even after making it to richer countries in the north of Europe, migrants have continued to set fires to their accommodations. For example, in 2017, five migrants were arrested for a suspected arson attack after “setting fire to a mattress” inside the Hoevelhof-Staumuhle migrant facility in the German state of North Rhine-Westphalia, resulting in 50 people being injured and €10 million in damage. A Red Cross worker said later that the migrants burned down the facility because they were furious over a lack of gummibears and Nutella available in the facility during nighttime hours.

In 2016, after a migrant housing facility was burned down in Düsseldorf, authorities said they were investigating six migrants for arson in relation to the fire.

Also in 2016, when authorities moved to evacuate the migrant camp in France’s Calais, migrants burned down large portions of it in a last act of “defiance”.

In 2017, a fire broke out during a fight between migrants in a France’s Grande-Synthe camp near Dunkirk that left 1,500 migrants homeless. Ten people were reported injured in the blaze.

Citizens protest migrant transfers to the mainland

Following the coronavirus crisis, The Greek government had already planned to transfer 2,000 vulnerable asylum seekers to the mainland and place them in hotels and other accommodations, all paid for with funding from the European Union, but that plan has run into roadblocks after Greek citizens protested the decision over fears that the migrants could spread coronavirus on the mainland.

Despite concerns from Greeks, Amnesty International is advocating Greece sends far more than 2,000 migrants to the mainland and place them in hotels.

“It has never been more urgent for the Greek authorities to evacuate people from the camps and transfer them to safe accommodation on the mainland. The Greek government must urgently ensure that it fulfills its promises to transfer vulnerable asylum seekers in practice,” said Massimo Moratti, deputy director of Amnesty International’s European office, adding that the “recently launched scheme by IOM, UNHCR, and the Greek Government to evacuate over 2.000 vulnerable asylum-seekers from camps to hotels and apartments on mainland Greece is seemingly already encountering some obstacles.”

Greeks on the mainland have actively protested moving migrants into their towns, including Messolonghi, where the migrants were supposed to be sent. The mayor of Messolonghi along with municipal councilors say the hotels should remain open for the upcoming tourist season, especially during a time when Greece’s hotel industry is reeling from the coronavirus downturn. 

“The departure of 1,500 vulnerable people from Moria, scheduled to occur last week was deferred to an unspecified date. This was reported to conduct transfers in a more controlled and safer way, to allay the fears of the local communities, after protests broke in the city some of them were destined to go to, including by the authorities. The people living in these camps can wait no longer,” said Moratti.

Amnesty International’s call to transfer migrants to the mainland does not address migrants burning down their own camps, ethnic clashes, or condemn rioting over a rumor that turned out not to be true.

Greek islanders also do not want to keep migrants where they are, and many are fed up with the overcrowded migrant camps on their islands.

Moratti thinks that European member states should do more to help refugees in Greek camps such as participate in the relocation of the refugees. He also said that the spread of the coronavirus is a major concern in the camps.

Made in China is treason to your country. It’s also stupid.

Buying low end electronics that will die in a short time is one thing. Buying ventilators from the scam factory is less of a good idea.

 Senior British doctors have warned that 250 ventilators the United Kingdom bought from China risk causing “significant patient harm, including death,” if they are used in hospitals, according to a letter seen by NBC News.

The doctors said the machines had a problematic oxygen supply, could not be cleaned properly, had an unfamiliar design and a confusing instruction manual, and were built for use in ambulances, not hospitals.

Made in China was the tipoff. 

After spreading a virus that may ultimately kill millions around the world, the Communists have been cashing in, in a big way by selling garbage PPE and ventilators to their victims. The UK appears to have been the hardest hit, buying worthless tests, PPE, and now ventilators from the scam factory.
