Special session will not be raising money to finance vaccine immunizations or taking any political action, and there will be no final declaration

This translation has been automatically generated and has not been verified for accuracy.Nearly 100 world leaders and several dozen ministers are slated to speak at the UN General Assembly’s special session starting Thursday on the response to COVID-19 and the best path to recovery from the pandemic which has claimed 1.5 million lives, shattered economies, and left tens of millions of people unemployed in countries rich and poor.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sent a letter to leaders of the Group of 20, the world’s richest nations responsible for 80 per cent of the global economy ahead of their summit in late March as COVID-19 was starting its killing spree urging that they adopt a “wartime” plan and co-operate on an international response to suppress the coronavirus. But there was no response.

Leaders and ministers from over 140 countries will deliver pre-recorded speeches on Thursday after an in-person opening in the General Assembly including speeches by Bozkir and Guterres. “Countries around the world are facing their own internal impacts, but it’s important that the U.N. continue to advocate … that this crisis impacts us all and the solutions are global,” she told The Associated Press in an interview. “So, we have to work together in order to ensure that all of us get out of this, because until everyone does, no one is really safe.”

Biden doubles U.S. COVID-19 vaccination goal to 200 million doses in his first 100 daysThe new goal comes as President Joe Biden pushes to defeat a pandemic that has killed more than 545,000 Americans and devastated the nation’s economy You would think that the Globe and Mail should concentrate more on what’s happening in Canada with the Trudeau blunders surrounding vaccines, than placing Joe Biden on a pedestal for the work that Trump already initiated. Thanks Pesident Trump. So sleepy Joe doubled his selfishness/egoism not to share any of USA made vaccines. even with NATO members, let alone the poor of the world. This just so he can look politically good to his base. This is world crisis, life saved is life saved. Noit for USA or Joe. WAKE up JOE
