Fears of a second wave of COVID-19 infections shut six major food markets in Beijing on Friday, while India, which opened up this week, recorded a record daily increase and half a dozen U.S. states said their hospital beds were filling up fast.

In China, where the new coronavirus originated, two new cases of COVID-19, the disease it causes, were recorded in the capital. Authorities closed part or all of six big wholesale food markets which the two men had recently visited but it was not known how they had become infected. Syed Ahmed Bukhari, the head of Delhi’s Jama Masjid, one of India’s biggest mosques, ordered a halt to congregations until the end of the month.FIRST WAVE NOT OVERCOME

While new infections are slowing in most of Europe, health experts see a moderate to high risk that post-lockdown rises may warrant new restrictions.The European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control predicted a moderate acceleration across Europe in coming weeks, which could place healthcare systems under stress if not checked rapidly. Government control measures could check and reverse upward trends within two to three weeks, it said.

“Mass events could be a major route of transmission,” said Martin Seychell, a health official at the EU Commission.World Health Organization Director General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus said late on Thursday that the threat of a resurgence remained very real. More hospitalisations inevitably mean more deaths ahead, said Spencer Fox, research associate at the University of Texas at Austin.

oh no....please fucking help us....we'll be good

Most will probably be OK. But those with tourist area like Myrtle Beach will see a large influx from NY. And will see inflated numbers.

Nobody cares. A hundred thousand deaths don't matter if you don't have an emotional video of the death. Bonus points if it's stoking anger. That's how democracy works.

americans are so fearless give me liberty or give me death!

Fake news based on fake data. Patients with what symptoms? How many new deaths? More tests more 'patients' regardless of re-openings. You globalist shill orgs will sacrifice anyone and anything to implement your agenda. Shameful.

Good because everyone's tired of this BS PSYOP that the Bill Gates Foundation patented.(CV19) look it up!

fake news

Yawn.

The shutdown wasn't intended to prevent all infections. It was to keep medical resources from being overwhelmed. It did that. Time to reopen.

Resultado de sus masivas 'protestas' que tanto aplaude la prensa?

They realize their own fortunes are at stake now, not just people that work

Herd IMMUNITY

yeah dang...... we're so over that virus stuff. Riots are getting old too. Bring on the alien spaceships!

The usual bullshit from Reuters.

when there are already around 10-20% infected, the second wave will be easier to handle than the first one, the third one when there are already around 30-40% infected, much easier, the forth one when there are more than 50%, herd immunity is reachable then.

No more lock downs! Let people decide, let people take care of themselves. We’re all aware of the risks and we’re all adults that don’t need or want the government to limit our freedom!

'We're heroes, too:' Hospital janitors risk lives to stop spread of COVID-19Hospital custodians work the same 12-hour shifts, using special training to ensure hospitals stay clean, but for considerably less pay and sometimes without the same protective gear given to doctors and nurses. We are just handing out hero cards like those dudes in Vegas handing out hooker cards. A quick slap on the palm to get your attention, then bam! Instant hero. They should definitely have the proper protective gear... but the same pay as doctors?! 🤦🏻‍♂️ The scare about doctors and nurses without their PPE is mostly mainstream liberal media bias with their privilege. They always forget about the low pay workers who themselves are exposed to more people with potential diseases.

Dow plunges nearly 7% on COVID-19 fears, economic forecastsBREAKING: Dow Jones plummets nearly 7% amid concerns about new spikes in COVID-19 cases and gloomy economic forecasts. But the market has gained, what is it 15,000 points since the swindle of 2008, and interest rates, with a small exception of a year and a half or so, when they got as high as 2 percent, have remained at zero. This is plain usury.
