Denmark says spread has not accelerated since reopening began
[Jpost] The spread of Covid-19 in Denmark has not accelerated since the country began a gradual loosening of restrictions in mid-April, the State Serum Institute, which is responsible for preparedness against infectious diseases, said on Thursday. The so-called R rate, which shows the average number of infections one person with the virus causes, has increased slightly in the past two weeks but remains below 1.0, the institute said.

"However,
there is a theory which states that if ever anybody discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened...
 there are no signs that the COVID-19 epidemic is accelerating," it said.

Nearly 5K meat plant workers have coronavirus, CDC says
[NYPOST] Nearly 5,000 workers at the country’s meat processing plants have tested positive for the coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
, according to new data from the Centers for Disease Control.

The US agency tested workers at more than 100 meat processing plants in 19 states and found that nearly 3 percent of them had the virus that has killed more than 60,000 Americans and sickened more than 3 million around the world, according to CNBC.

The CDC warned that the real percentage of infected workers could be even higher, as testing limitations prevented it from being able to get a complete picture of the scale.

"The recognized risk to meat and poultry facility operation requires prompt action to decrease risks to workers, preserve facility function, and maintain the food supply," CDC researchers said.

WHO's Exec. Director of Emergencies Mike Ryan: Sweden is a model for the new coronavirus normal

"The World Health Organisation lavished praise on Sweden as “a future model” in the next phase of fighting the outbreak because it has trusted people to observe social distancing rules.

Dr Mike Ryan, Executive Director of the WHO emergencies team, said it was wrong to believe that Sweden had “just let the infection spread”, adding: “Nothing can be further from the truth. Sweden has set a very strong policy on public health, it is about physical distancing and how to protect the elderly in various nursing homes and much more.”

“I think if we are to reach a new normal, I think in many ways Sweden represents a future model of -- if we wish to get back to a society in which we don’t have lockdowns," Dr. Ryan said while speaking to reporters from Geneva.

#4  The good news/bad news/both in one headline in the above roundup is amazing. Many sides of the story, all in one place! Too many people, IMO, only see one side (confirmation bias). Mrs. Bobby's newspaper is decidedly heavy on the 'Chinese Death Plague' side of the story.

#1  Denmark says spread has not accelerated since reopening began

We still don't have good numbers for asymptomatic incubation period.


Whistleblower claims British hospitals are still deliberately sending elderly patients to care homes 'to die' by discharging them before Covid-19 test results come through - as part of NHS 'soul destroying' culture of freeing up beds

That's why they don't publish "Outcome of Cases (Recovery or Death)".

Javits Center field hospital set to close after treating just 1,000 coronavirus patients - but FEMA will keep a stockpile of supplies and equipment at the site to prepare for a second wave

So (Trump directed) FEMA are not being morons.
