Health / A New Wave Of Infection Hits China As 8000 Persons Are Quarantined by STREETSAN(m): 10:13am On May 17, 2020 |
Government officials have quarantined 8,000 people and imposed new travel restrictions in northeastern China after a rash of new infections were reported in Jilin Province, state news media reported on Sunday. Residents of Jilin, the second-largest city in the province, have been mostly barred from leaving the city starting Sunday after a cluster of infections was reported there and in the neighboring city of Shulan. Officials in Shenyang, capital of the neighboring province of Liaoning, said on Saturday that anyone who had traveled there from the city of Jilin since April 22 would be quarantined in a hospital for three weeks. Jilin has traced nearly 700 close contacts of coronavirus patients for testing and quarantine, while officials in Liaoning Province have found more than 1,000 close contacts and about 6,500 people at high risk for infection. Six officials in the city of Jilin have been removed from their posts, the state media news reported on Sunday. Six coronavirus cases were also reported last week in Wuhan, the city in the central province of Hubei where the outbreak began, after more than a month without any new confirmed infections there. Local officials have since announced ambitious plans to test all 11 million residents in as little as 10 days. Zhong Nanshan, a top respiratory disease expert and adviser to the Chinese government, said in an interview with CNN on Saturday that while China had a relatively low number of infections it still faced a “big challenge” from the coronavirus because most of the population had not been exposed to it and was still susceptible to infection. “It’s not better than the foreign countries I think at the moment,” he said. He also said that local officials had misrepresented the number of cases when the virus began spreading in Wuhan in January. Meanwhile, officials in Hong Kong are considering the use of electronic health certificates to facilitate movement between mainland China and the semi-autonomous territory. Hong Kong’s border is currently closed to all nonresidents, but officials have raised the idea of creating a “travel bubble” as locally transmitted cases fall to almost zero and businesses continue to reopen.

Crime / Nigerian Fraud Ring Is Implicated In A Vast Attack On U.S. Unemployment Agencies by STREETSAN(m): 10:05am On May 17, 2020 |
With states scrambling to pay out unemployment claims to tens of millions of Americans, a vast attack flooding unemployment agencies with fraudulent claims appears to have already siphoned millions of dollars in payments. Investigators from the Secret Service said that they had information implicating a well-organized Nigerian fraud ring and that stolen information like social security numbers had allowed the network to file claims on behalf of people who in many cases had not lost their jobs. Most of the fraudulent claims have so far been concentrated in Washington State, but evidence also pointed to similar attacks in Florida, Massachusetts, North Carolina, Oklahoma, Rhode Island and Wyoming. The challenge of pre-empting fraudulent claims has increased as the pressure to get money into the hands of unemployed workers has grown. Unemployment offices accustomed to dealing with jobless claims in the thousands have been inundated with over a million claims during recent months in more populous states. The attacks, which the Secret Service warned could conceivably target every state, could result in “potential losses in the hundreds of millions of dollars,” according to a memo obtained by The New York Times. The discovery has added to concerns that jury-rigged efforts to rapidly dispense economic relief could be easily exploited by fraudsters. The I.R.S. last month documented losses of at least $16.9 billion because of identity theft as it raced to dole out trillions of dollars in economic stimulus checks. Source: www.nytimes.com |

Health / "Covid-19 Is A Measly Cold" - President Jair Bolsonaro Of Brazil by STREETSAN(m): 10:31am On May 16, 2020 |
Brazil’s health minister, Nelson Teich, said on Friday that he was stepping down less than a month after taking the job, after clashing with President Jair Bolsonaro over the president’s decision not to embrace social distancing and quarantines. Last month, Mr. Bolsonaro fired the previous health minister, Luiz Henrique Mandetta, who had butted heads with the president over the same issues. Mr. Teich addressed a news conference on Friday but did not provide a reason for his resignation. While governors and mayors in much of the country have urged Brazilians to stay home as much as possible, Mr. Bolsonaro has implored them to go out and work, arguing that an economic unraveling would be more damaging to the country than the virus is. This week he classified beauty salons and gyms as essential businesses that should remain open. He has repeatedly played down the pandemic, at one point dismissing Covid-19 as “a measly cold,” and has touted an unproven drug as an effective treatment. Asked in April about Brazil’s fast-growing death toll, he said: “So what? Sorry, but what do you want me to do?” Brazil has more than 200,000 confirmed coronavirus infections and over 14,000 deaths. Those figures, among the highest in the world and rising sharply, still grossly underrepresent the extent of the epidemic, experts say, because Brazil has limited testing capacity. Officially, the country is recording more than 800 coronavirus deaths per day, second only to the United States. Source: www.Nytimes.com

“Based on the false information provided, President Buhari erroneously appended his signature and has already written to the Senate seeking confirmation of four new nominees to replace the four earlier appointed from their respective states – including Wasiu Kayode”. So the so called president couldn't try and confirm the names he was given on the list. Illiterate |

Romance / Re: My Parents Won't Allow Me Marry Outside My Tribe by STREETSAN(m): 6:17pm On May 10, 2020 |
Yes. It's normal for your parents to advice their child to marry from the same tribe. Many people can attest to this fact and this is due to the experience they've seen other people have. You as a couple might be in love but the extended families are usually the issue. Take the p-square case as an example for people who are familiar with the story.... I don't like to type much else I would have delved in toto into this matter. However since you're hell bent on marrying this lady from another tribe, it is for your parents to give their blessings and accept it. 3 Likes |

Wait for 2 years before sex. I broke up. Can't wait that long just to prove I love you. . Another girl I dated would tell me bite her nipples. While I think I was biting down hard she'll say it's not enough..ah.. I'll bite to the extent I'll have to be like is that not too much but no babe loves the pain. The problem is now that she'll want to return the same energy. I always push her head away when it becomes unbearable 51 Likes |

This disease doesn't know northerners from southerners nor can it differentiate easterners. Let's protect ourselves, buy your face mask and follow the health guidelines. I really fear for Nigeria cos be it they play politics with the numbers or not this virus is quickly spreading and Nigeria is incapable of curbing this disease. For God to help us.
