Some White House staff to wear masks after valet tests positive – Trump

US President Donald Trump during a meeting about the response to the the coronavirus with Texas Governor Greg Abbott in the Oval Office at the White House in Washington, US, on May 7 2020.

US President Donald Trump on Friday said certain White House staff members have started wearing face masks, one day after the White House said his personal valet had tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

Trump, asked whether those who serve him food would now cover their faces, told Fox News in an interview that such White House staff had made that change.

“They’ve already started,” he said on the network’s “Fox and Friends” morning programme.

The White House on Thursday said Trump and vice-president Mike Pence tested negative for the virus and were feeling well after the staffer – a US military service member who works at the White House as a valet – came down with the virus. It also said the two leaders would now be tested daily, vs weekly.

Trump has said he would not wear a mask and has not publicly worn a mask to any of his events so far amid the Covid-19 pandemic, but told reporters this week that he tried some on behind the scenes during his visit to a Honeywell face mask factory in Arizona.

“As I greet presidents, prime ministers, dictators, kings, queens … I don’t see it for myself, I just don’t,” Trump said in early April when the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention began recommending mask use to slow the spread of the coronavirus.

The virus, which first surfaced in Wuhan, China late last year, has killed more than 75,000 Americans and driven millions into unemployment as a result of lockdown measures to curb a rise in infections. Lockdown measures are being eased in some states, but many are still requiring mask use.

Both Trump and vice-president Mike Pence have drawn fire for not donning face masks, with critics arguing they are setting a bad example for Americans.

Pence did not wear a mask while visiting coronavirus patients during a recent visit to Minnesota’s famed Mayo Clinic, noting that he was tested frequently for the disease. But he later said he should have worn one, saying it carries a symbolic weight as well.

The vice-president, who has led the White House coronavirus task force that Trump this week said he was going to wind down before reversing course to keep it, is scheduled to travel to Iowa to meet faith leaders about holding “responsible” gatherings and to discuss the food supply at the headquarters for Midwestern grocery chain Hy-Vee Inc.

Trump is scheduled to attend a public event at the World War 2 memorial later on Friday before meeting with Republican members of Congress at the White House, according to the White House.

The Republican president also told Fox News that he has not yet been tested for antibodies to the novel coronavirus but probably would be soon. Such a test could confirm previous exposure to the virus.

Government could face another legal challenge to lockdown regulations

Civil rights group DearSA calls on government to allow online retailing and remove limitation on the number of hours people are allowed to exercise outside their homes.

Government could face another legal challenge over its lockdown regulations.

Attorneys for civil rights group DearSA have written a letter to co-operative governance minister Nkosazana Dlamini-Zuma challenging the ban on online retailing and the limitation on the hours people are allowed to exercise outside their homes.

The organisation said it had requested that the government amend the Covid-19 lockdown regulations to allow for all forms of online retailing on the grounds that this would support, rather than impede, the campaign to stop the spread of the virus.

The group is also demanding that people be allowed to do outdoor exercises outside the stipulated hours of between 6am and 9am.

DearSA has given Dlamini-Zuma until next Thursday to respond or face legal action.

“Our client, however, trusts that unnecessary litigation could be avoided and look forward to your urgent response,” reads the letter written by Hurter Spies Incorporated.

The letter raises concerns that government decisions over the lockdown are ad hoc rather than data-driven, which has resulted in a potential massive economic overkill.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

“Our client is not asking for all lockdown measures to be revoked. However, the current restrictions on e-commerce play a limited role in stopping the spread of the virus and they play a big role in hampering the economy,” the letter reads.

According to the organisation, various economic studies, show that a prolonged lockdown will have a devastating affect on the economy, with the construction sector likely to suffer a 30% decline in employment.

“The effect of the lockdown will be a massive decline in the demand and supply of many industries, with particularly severe effects in the service sectors, such as restaurants, entertainment, tourism, travel and hotels, according to SA-TIE,” the organisation said.

“Lockdown measures cannot stop the virus from spreading, but they can slow down the speed of infections. Lockdowns will not save the lives of those who contract Covid-19 and do not require hospitalisation.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

“They also do not save the lives of those who contract the virus and would sadly and regrettably succumb to the disease even if they gained access to an ICU bed. They only assist those who contract the virus and would survive if they were hospitalised but are unable to receive such care because the health system has been overrun.”

The organisation says it is calling for a reasonable approach to regulations aimed at addressing the public health issue.

South Africans mourn a metre apart as Covid-19 curbs funerals

By: illovuonline news team

Funerals have changed significantly since the covid-19 pandemic

Maaki Modimola sways along to a hymn in the yard of her dead sister’s home in the South African township of Soweto, a bottle of sanitiser swinging in her hand.

Later at the cemetery, mourners sit on chairs spaced one metre apart. The usual choir is replaced by a recorded track blaring out of a single speaker. Maaki’s sister Mary did not die from Covid-19, but its influence is everywhere in the ceremony.

Township funerals are usually much more extravagant affairs. But, like grieving families across South Africa and beyond, Maaki and her relatives had to scale back their plans and forgo some cherished traditions to comply with coronavirus restrictions.

Vigils before interment have been banned. Funerals are limited to 50 mourners – still more than the 20 allowed in Nigeria or the 15 in Kenya.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

Maaki had wanted to help prepare Mary’s body, but the funeral director said that was not possible.

“I would have loved to … make her beautiful, put make-up on her face, doll her up the way she liked, ” Maaki said after the service.

The infection has now spread across the continent, overturning a myriad of traditions and social norms in its wake.

More than 3,500 miles (5,500 km) away from Soweto in Cameroon’s commercial capital Douala, Constantin Size’s uncle died from a Covid-19 related condition, and was buried the same day without full ceremony.

In any other time, Samuel Wambe – a village noble, businessman and football manager – would have been taken back to his village, Size said.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

In most regions of Cameroon, people usually gather for funeral events that can last days, even weeks. But the transportation of corpses and big burial ceremonies have been banned, and people are interred quickly.

“My uncle belonged to the class of nobles called ‘Suinfo’ (friend of the king). Only the initiated are allowed to attend his burial, with rituals aimed to accompany his soul to the creator,” Size said.

“It is absolutely necessary to do these rituals, if not it will have repercussions on the family lineage.”

Two funerals – 54 people infected with Covid-19, one dead

Two funerals. 54 infections, including three children. One death.

NEWS
🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

It is a delicate balance for authorities: dealing with the pandemic, while respecting customs over the treatment of the dead.

Last month the county governor of western Kenya’s Siaya County, Cornel Rasanga, apologised after a video was posted online showing health ministry personnel in white protective gear dropping a body into a shallow grave in the dark as relatives wailed.

Back in South Africa, some in the Zulu culture believe proper custom needs to be followed or spirits will not rest.

“The spirit of the deceased will come back to haunt the living – that’s the belief, that their spirit will wander because they didn’t have that respect and that dignity during the process,” said Professor Sihawukele Ngubane who teaches at the University of KwaZulu-Natal.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

Miles away in Soweto, the scaled-back funeral is proceeding as planned.

Some mourners wear face masks and carry white flowers. At one point, a woman reaches across the gap between the chairs to rest her hand on the shoulder of another mourner.

Similar scenes are playing out at most funerals, says Lawrence Konyana, president of the National Funeral Directors Association.

Families are paying for the basics but the big marquees and catering have been cut back, he says. Supplies of flowers have dried up as markets shut down during lockdowns.

Monageng Legue, chief executive at Sopema Funerals which organised Mary Modimola’s service, said he had seen an around 30% fall in revenues as families cut extras like a cow for slaughter.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

“I am a bit saddened, that her life wasn’t celebrated by the people who knew her, some who were close to her,” Maaki Modimola said after the funeral. “But I think she is happy, wherever she is.”

How does the virus infect children? And should they be in school?

By: illovuonline news team
09-05-2020
Image: supplied

While children can contract the coronavirus, very few have died from it.

With parents and policymakers agonising over when to reopen schools as lockdowns ease, scientists are still struggling to find out how the new coronavirus affects children.

While youngsters can become infected with the new coronavirus, very few have died or contracted serious symptoms. But could they still spread contagion?

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

Here is what we know so far.

Are children at risk?

This is one of the few questions where there is broad agreement. Only a tiny proportion of children appear to have become seriously ill with COVID-19.

“There are three key questions: How much do children get COVID-19; how badly does it affect them; and do they spread it to others?” said Russell Viner, President of Britain’s Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health.

“We only have good data about the second of these.”

Specialists writing for the British pediatric website Don’t Forget The Bubbles (DFTB) said in a recent roundup of international research that only around one percent of critical cases involved children, while “deaths remain extremely rare”.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

Do they get infected?

The short answer is yes

“Research indicates that children and adolescents are just as likely to become infected as any other age group and can spread the disease,” says the World Health Organization.

But this is not reflected in global official data about the virus, with many countries largely focusing their COVID-19 testing on those who have gone to hospital with severe symptoms.

New evidence shows children aren’t spreaders so we’re harming them by keeping schools shut, says Wits prof

We are “indirectly putting children’s lives and futures on the line” by keeping schools shut,” said Wits University vaccinology and infectious …

NEWS

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

It’s a relief that schools reopening won’t be happening very soon

I reflected on the reopening of schools and I thought it was a terrible idea. I am relieved it is not going to happen soon.

OPINION

France’s health agency, which has amalgamated data from a host of international studies, said pediatric cases represent between one and five percent of all officially-documented global infections.

It said this is because children catch the virus, but generally exhibit only “mild” symptoms — or no symptoms at all — meaning they go uncounted.

But other experts believe that children, especially those under the age of 10, might not be getting infected as much in the first place.

“It appears fairly convincing that children are less likely to acquire the infection than adults, by a significant amount,” said specialists Alasdair Munro and Damian Roland of DFTB.

Their conclusions were based on several international contact tracing studies that looked at how the disease spread and to whom.

They also assessed data from places that have carried out mass community-wide testing — South Korea, Iceland and the Italian principality of Vo — all of which found that the proportion of infected children was far smaller than adults.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

But are they silent vectors?

This is the area of greatest uncertainty.

Initially researchers believed they could be spreading the disease, drawing comparisons with other viruses like the flu where children help accelerate infections.

But recent studies on the new coronavirus suggest that they are less likely to transmit the virus.

In one incident, a nine-year-old was among 12 people infected in a super-spreading event at a chalet in the Haute-Savoie region of France, after a British man returned from Singapore and went on a ski holiday.

A study of the incident — one of the first major clusters of infection in France — showed that the child, who only displayed mild symptoms, came into contact with 172 people while sick.

None of them contracted COVID-19, not even the youngster’s two siblings. But the child did transmit other winter viruses, including the flu.

Children could be less infectious because they do not have as many symptoms and do not cough, French expert Arnaud Fontanet told a parliamentary hearing last week.

But a German study last month led by virologist Christian Drosten, an adviser to Angela Merkel, concluded that children had a viral load comparable to that of adults.

They “could be as contagious”, it added.

Other scientists, including Munro, have disputed both the methodology of that study and its conclusion. Re-analysing the data they said it might even be possible to draw the opposite conclusion — that age and viral load are correlated.

Even so, we cannot say for sure that a higher viral load makes a person more infectious.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

A new threat?

In recent weeks, a spate of cases of children affected by an inflammatory illness resembling a rare condition called Kawasaki disease has caused alarm.

Symptoms are high fever, abdominal pain, rash and swollen glands. If untreated, patients can suffer heart failure, but those who are given medical care respond well.

A few dozen cases have been reported in New York, France, Britain, Italy and Spain and while no link has been formally established to the new coronavirus, scientists believe it could be connected.

In an article published this week in the medical journal The Lancet, British doctors describing eight cases observed in London said it could be “a new phenomenon” affecting previously-asymptomatic children with the coronavirus “manifesting as a hyperinflammatory syndrome”.

Reports of the illness came just as several countries in Europe were mulling reopening schools, kindling fears among parents. But experts say the cases are too rare to affect policy decisions.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

Should the schools open?

On this there is much disagreement.

Authorities in Italy, which has the oldest teachers of OECD nations with almost 60 percent aged over 50, have expressed concern that reopening schools would risk infecting staff and reigniting the epidemic.

But many other countries, including Germany, Denmark and France, have prioritised reopening schools as they unwind lockdown measures.

In France, scientific estimates that it would be better to keep schools shut until September were outweighed by concerns about other social issues, particularly those facing children from troubled families.

“School can be a haven of peace,” explained Jean-Francois Delfraissy, who leads the scientific committee advising the government.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

Other experts argue that the benefits of continuing education far outweigh the risks.

In a column published this week in the journal Archives of Disease in Childhood, Munro and British infectious disease specialist Saul Faust called on governments to allow children to resume lessons, regardless of underlying health conditions, and conduct detailed surveillance to monitor safety.

“Children are not COVID-19 super-spreaders: time to go back to school,” they said.

COVID-19 kills second Western Cape nurse as deaths hit 87

Ntombizakithi Ngidi, a nurse at Tygerberg Hospital, was one of 11 new victims reported on Friday, taking the provincial death toll to 87 (up 14.4%).

A second nurse has died of Covid-19 in the Western Cape, premier Alan Winde said on Friday.

A nurse at Tygerberg Hospital, was one of 11 new victims reported on Friday, taking the provincial death toll to 87 (up 14.4%).

“This is the second nurse we have lost to Covid-19 in the province, following the death last week of Petronella Benjamin, who was one day away from her retirement,” said Winde.

His statement came as confusion reigned in the ANC about a call for the return of full lockdown in the Western Cape.

In a statement to the media, the opposition party’s local government spokesperson in the provincial legislature, Danville Smith, said infection hotspots needed particular attention.

“The ANC wants special lockdown measures tightened during these extraordinary times to lower the fast growth in death, hospitalisation and confirmation rates in this province,” he said.

Twenty minutes later, the ANC withdrew the statement without explanation.

Smith said large groups of people were being exposed to possible infection at shopping centres, farms and factories.

“Mass congregation of people during time to walk or practise for sport in the mornings has become a source of further concern. This might cause more infections in a strained province.”

Smith said the ANC realised full lockdown would have a “dire impact” on the Western Cape economy and education possibilities. “But let’s rather act now before it is forever too late. The spread can still be controlled.”

On Thursday, health minister Zweli Mkhize said he and President Cyril Ramaphosa would visit the Western Cape next week in an attempt to arrest the spread of the virus in the province.

Sassa grant beneficiaries who were paid twice must pay back the money

By: illovuonline news team
09-05-2020

Minister of Social Development Lindiwe Zulu also apologised to those Sassa grant beneficiaries who did not receive their money.

Minister of Social Development Lindiwe Zulu said South African Social Security Agency (Sassa) grant beneficiaries that were paid twice must pay back the money.

In an interview on Radio 702, on Tuesday 5 May, Zulu apologised to those beneficiaries who did not receive their money but as for those beneficiaries who received double pay, Zulu said it must be returned.

This comes after Sassa experienced some major technical difficulties on Monday 4 May as far as payouts were concerned.

SASSA BENEFICIARIES MUST PAY BACK THE MONEY

Sassa’s handout of grants got off to a shaky start on Monday. Many pensioners, in different parts of the country, had to return home with no money after waiting in queues for hours.

“I want to apologise to the South Africans who ended up being frustrated by not receiving their money, we are doing the best that we can do,” said Zulu.

Glitches at certain pay points also included double payments in some instances. According to Sassa, about 83% of the beneficiaries scheduled to be paid on Monday got double pay-outs because of the error in the Western Cape.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

In this regard, Zulu said: “The bottom line is that with those that received double payments must return the money.”

In order to curb the spread of the virus, Sassa spread out payments. It, therefore, said the elderly and those with disabilities could collect their monies on Monday 4 May and Tuesday 5 May, while child grants and care dependency grants would be paid out on Wednesday 6 May.

Despite the glitches in the Sassa system, Zulu said the department would be ready to action countless grants come 15 May.

“We’re working around the clock to make sure that the money kicks in on the 15th to those who have made applications,” said Zulu.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

DA TO MEET LINDIWE ZULU IN COURT

The Democratic Alliance (DA) will be taking Zulu to court for deciding to keep Sassa offices closed during the lockdown.

The DA argues that Sassa beneficiaries are expected to access their grants via online platforms, which many of them, ironically, do not have access to.

🇿🇦🌍https://illovuonline.news.blog/

Shadow minister for SASSA Bridget Masango said: “The DA’s lawyers will now launch a court application to compel the government to open Sassa offices. The Minister has failed to do the right thing. With the announcement of the special R350 Social Relief of Distress Grant, Sassa would’ve no doubt experienced increased pressure on its limited resources during this time.”

“The DA has continuously requested the opening of SASSA offices to assist vulnerable people during the global health crisis. And time and again the Minister has ignored not only the pleas of the Party, but she also seems deaf to the cries of desperation sounding in the streets,” she added.

The last supermoon for 2020 is visible on Friday night.

The term ‘supermoon’ refers to a full moon that occurs when the moon is at its closest to Earth in a given orbit.

This makes it look bigger and brighter.

In a typical year, there can be three or four supermoons and they are times of celebration for various religions.

This is the last supermoon for this year. The May full moon is “only” 361,184 kilometres from Earth.

The engineer also manufactured a tiny cooker that uses biogas for cooking. Boadu believes that the future of Africa regarding biogas is huge because it will help the continent to manage waste and to also cut down on the importation of Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG).

Enoch Kofi Boadu and his team went viral in videos and a feature after it emerged that they successfully turned organic waste into power. This feature is an outcome of infoDev, a multi-donor program administered by the World Bank Group, with a focus on entrepreneurs in developing economies. Boadu and his team provide and install portable biogas plants to households in Ghana to treat the organic kitchen waste, which would mostly end up on landfill sites posing a health risk to humanity.

The technology system installed generates biogas in the process of treating household waste, which is highly viable for cooking purposes. The liquid fertilizer residue generated from the system after waste treatment is mostly used to water the garden areas or even farmlands.

DAS Biogas also has an interest in contributing to sustainable development through innovation in the waste management and construction industry with a vision to be an innovative and complete waste management service provider in Ghana.
