Following criticism from the US, the UN has announced a review of the global health agency's response to the pandemic to be led by former New Zealand prime minister Helen Clark and former Liberian president Ellen Johnson Sirleaf.

Former NZ PM to lead review of WHO global coronavirus response

The WHO chief reiterated his calls for global unity and decried a general lack of leadership, but he made no reference to the Trump administration giving formal one-year notice this week of its intent to withdraw the US from the UN health agency.

"My hope is that the defining crisis of our age will likewise remind all people that the best way forward and all the only way forward is together."Sebian police officers and protesters angry about the reimposition of coronavirus restrictions clashed in front of the parliament building in Belgrade this week.

The clashes followed an announcement earlier this week from President Aleksandar Vucic that further lockdown measures were likely as the outbreak in the country has intensified. So far, Indonesia has recorded 70,736 cases. Public health researchers suspect that due to the limited scope of testing so far, the actual case total could be far higher, though the Government denies this, and has told people not to panic.

Mr Yurianto attributed the increasing new cases to people not wearing masks as Indonesia eased lockdowns to help revive the economy.

Coronavirus update: Serbians riot over reimposition of COVID-19 curfewWith lockdown measures coming back into place due to a surge in coronavirus cases Serbian citizens storm the parliament building, while the US once again records a single-day high with over 60,000 cases recorded. I wish Aussies would do this. But we have neither the guts nor the motivation. I guess the $1500 the government gives people a fortnight to shut up and do what they're told, is enough to placate most people. 2 weeks from now: Serbias infection rates out of control. Many deaths reported. Victorians just meekly submit.

What could WHO's COVID-19 origin investigation reveal?For months Chinese officials have sought to portray the virus as originating abroad. But with a World Health Organisation team headed to China to investigate the origins of the coronavirus, Beijing now faces an unusual challenge, writes Bill Birtles. Deny, deny, deny, counter accuse seems to be working No one believes anything the WHO says. ok, lets think about it. for a natural virus, it boasts an incredibly diverse amount of symptoms. flu; organ damage; brain damage; diarrea; headache; loss of taste. the test is never 100 percent right. very strange virus, in that it seems to just be random. like its exosomes
