U.N. Says Yemen's Health System 'Has In Effect Collapsed' As COVID Spreads





ABC News Online: Yemen's health system 'has in effect collapsed' as coronavirus spreads 'largely undetected', UN says

Hundreds of deaths from "coronavirus-like symptoms" have raised fears COVID-19 is rapidly spreading undetected throughout war-torn Yemen, where the United Nations and medical workers say the health care system "has in effect collapsed".

According to official numbers, Yemen have confirmed 212 infections and 39 deaths, but with one of lowest rates of testing in the world, aid workers fear this figure is "just the tip of the iceberg".

Medicins Sans Frontieres (MSF) reported on Friday as many as 80 people were dying at home per day — up from a pre-outbreak norm of 10 — in the city of Aden, where the international aid group run the only dedicated COVID-19 centre in southern Yemen.

Yemen is not the only health care system that in effect has in effect collpased.

So has Michigan's.

Detroit nursing home patient, 20, who filmed himself beating elderly residents as they lay defenseless in their beds and then posted videos online is charged with assault

Michigan has a a n lot of problems. Health Care Collapse, Dam collapse, Governor not following the rule of law. The governor is suppose to go to the legislature after 28 days to extend any states of emergencies. She plays fast and loose with the rules like a typical Democrat and ends one state of emergency before 28 days before calling for another for the same thing. Some lawyers are good, Some are bad and play little word games like this.


Most shocking thing about Jaden T. Hayden is that he has a father or that the press found him. I'll wait before I'll feel sorry for Jaden's dad until I find out more. The dad opined that Jaden should never have been placed in the nursing home. I tend to agree.

If Jaden had been placed with some 20 somethings in a home, would he have still beat them? I tend to think so. He was taught to be racists and violent. By whom we do not know, but there are so many suspect in the Black community. Jaden came by his hate honestly.

Trump commented ion the story.
