The Fashion And Jokes The Coronavirus Came Along With

COVID-19 is a deadly virus that can't be underestimated, but along the way, many have taken it very easy in life with crazy fashions and unexpected events, as if the virus never existed. Frankly speaking, many think the death related to the pandemic is a hoax, made it look real by the media.


There was a time when many thought that the coronavirus didn't exist. The fact that you hardly see someone either sick or collapsing in the city, town, or anywhere but only on the news and television, you hear of the announcements of the number of deaths.


Some people start making fun of the disease with whatever they find amusing, while several funny videos were uploaded on YouTube.' It may be likely that since many from the initial stages didn't respect the coronavirus, led to the high rate of infections today.


But the fact is, the coronavirus is real, and before people acknowledge this to protect themselves or strictly observe the rules to prevent the spread of the disease, COVID-19 will not only kill thousands more people but also ruin the economy of many countries beyond remedy.


The coronavirus fashion is a new craze in many countries throughout Asia, Africa, Europe, and America. Some of the mouth masks are used as bikinis, while some females use them as breast protectors. While all these jokes are taking place, the virus, which doesn't discriminate, is on a deadly spree.

Well, probably making these jokes and fashion from the masks are some of the ways to prevent worries or psychological torture from taking over our lives; however, people need to be serious as well because the jokes are misleading people into not adequately protecting themselves.

Why World Leaders Are Partly Responsible For The Coronavirus

World leaders are responsible for the coronavirus because they supported the biological weapon crimes of the US government

World leaders are responsible for the coronavirus because they supported the biological weapon crimes of the US government.


Whenever there is a problem, the right decision is to find a quick solution to tackle it. That is better than pointing fingers at or accusing others as perpetrators. However, I will still blame both world leaders of developed and developing countries for this coronavirus pandemic today.


You see, crime doesn't pay; it destroys the entire society and affects people. World leaders, especially from the developed world, in the past and present, continue to remain silent over crimes committed against humanity because biological weapon crimes often take place in the third world.


The whole world is suffering from the attack of the merciless coronavirus today, another biological weapon named COVID-19 but can world leaders accept the fact that if they have acted appropriately in the past, this pandemic could have been prevented?


HIV-Aids was a man-made disease meant to destroy Africa after independence swept through the continent before it gradually spread throughout the whole world. Even though the US government was responsible, no country in the world queried or warned the US government about this horrible crime against humanity.


Not even the International Criminal Court of Justice- ICC, known for putting African leaders that commit crimes against humanity behind bars, stepped in to question America.


The world tried their best to control the rapid spread of the HIV-Aids virus, which has already decimated Africa. Within the spread of the virus, more crimes were committed in Africa, by the US government, as vaccines to treat Aids patients on the African continent, were contaminated giving rise to tuberculosis in Aids patients at the same time.


Still, no world leader in the advanced world showed any remorse or sympathy for Africa about the way the disease has destroyed Africa. 


Just like the HIV-Aids, Ebola was also a biological weapon but world leaders remained quiet, supporting the crimes and false claims of the US, Centers for Disease Control, and the World Health Organization, that bats and bushmeat are responsible for the spread of Ebola in Africa.


Meanwhile, the same hemorrhagic fever which first exploded in Congo in 1976, had already appeared simultaneously in Marburg and Frankfurt in Germany, and in Belgrade, Serbia, in 1967. Because of the truth, many are not interested in what we write, but we shall all suffer together.


The fact that the developed world failed each time to expose the US government of triggering biological weapons on innocent populations, which of course, affects China too because they do business with African leaders, has led to the coronavirus pandemic.


The important question here is, "if the US government, has lied about the true origin of HIV-Aids and Ebola, would the Chinese government tell the world that the coronavirus is a biological weapon?" That can't happen.


In this world, what one sows, the same he shall reap. In my life, since I was born, I have never heard of anyone who planted tomatoes and harvested apples. Whatever goes around comes around.


Advanced countries have supported the US government, the corrupt World Health Organization, and the Centers for Disease Control to kill innocent victims in third world countries with biological weapons. 


It's time for them to know how suffering and deaths are associated with the Chinese virus, Corona.

THE REAL PANDEMIC IN GHANA IS NEPOTISM

Nepotism and tribalism pandemics are destroying Ghana than the coronavirus

Nepotism and tribalism pandemics are destroying Ghana than the coronavirus



In recent decades, Africa has firmly established itself as a continent prone to tribalism and nepotism in all fields. These viruses that create strong family ties and embezzlement of national wealth have sharply increased in Ghanaian politics, leading to the suffering of the common people.

 

The widespread nepotism and tribalism in Ghanaian politics today, are affecting the country's political and economic infrastructures because not every relative appointed to take a particular post is efficient and in such a situation, the president will remain silent to avoid gossips or disgrace.


This is one of the reasons despite the free education which the NPP government introduced since coming to power, Ghana is stagnant, there are no developments in other sectors. There is no employment and the depressive economy has created an unfriendly marketing environment.


Ghanaians are indeed suffering but NPP supporters and politicians find it very hard to accept this fact because of the corruptible scandals which pushed John Mahama out of office. Yet, what sensible Ghanaians have failed to discuss is when Mahama was power, Ghana wasn't in the second position as the most corrupt country in the world.


Another serious pandemic in Ghana is hate towards journalists and writers. It is an abomination to write about what is going bad in Nana Akufo Addo's government. Section of the public will either insult you or accuse you of being an NDC member. 


What has Ghanaian politics offered me to join a political party in Ghana, when in Europe that things are better, I am not affiliated with any political party? I am forced to vote because I am not ready to pay the fine that will follow if I fail to vote., other than that I will not waste my time to go out and vote.


I can't confirm the truth but according to an article dated November 6, 2019,  on 'Ghanaweb,' 51 relatives of Akufo Addo are in his government. If this is true, then it's more serious than a pandemic because this can hinder the growth of the country drastically.


The unification of Akufo Addo's family in Ghanaian politics, giving rise to nepotism, tribalism, and corruption in his government, is affecting Ghanaians because many of them are not qualified to keep an office and if qualified, they lack skills and efficiency.


If Akufo Addo's relatives in his government are efficient, Ghana wouldn't be in this hopeless situation under such an elephant size ministers, who are just draining and wasting the hard-earned resources of the country. 


I have said this before that Akufo Addo will still win the forthcoming elections, therefore, Ghanaians must be prepared to pass through another waterless wilderness for four years. 


After 30 years in Europe, I am now confused if it's better to die in Ghana or Europe at old age because Ghana is in an extremely bad position. Any common Ghanaian that says the current political or economic situation is good, might be enjoying extra funds from the government coffers. Life in Ghana is harder than rock.


Nepotism in Ghanaian politics is collapsing the country, as well as an impediment to progress, the government must find a remedy to tackle this political pandemic like that of coronavirus in the country.

Together As One Let's Fight This Coronavirus Pandemic

Hate and division can't conquer the coronavirus

Hate and division can't conquer the coronavirus


If a mistake is done, the correction is often difficult because of obstacles one may encounter, the same thing applies to the coronavirus pandemic. Since last year, the disease which originates from China has decimated the world in a cruel manner that the situation seems to be out of control.


Initial methods to prevent the spread of disease were better handled by many countries across the globe, while other countries that lack the right plans or resources to deal with the situation, allowed the disease to take control over its population.


Despite that Spain and Italy were among the countries that recorded the highest death tolls, they have derived proper measures to deal with the situation, while the cases in the United States of America keep rising without an immediate solution.


Why a country as the United States of America with one of the best health systems keep recording a high number of deaths daily? Many people around the globe following the coronavirus crisis in the country blame the high cost of medical insurance which many people, including the African-Americans, can't afford.


However, examining the political situation in the United States of America, one can't blame the crisis on high medical insurance alone in the country. It is very easy to identify that one of the major causes which have worsened the coronavirus situation in the country is 'political.'


Many people, including the opposition, hate Donald Trump and, therefore, want him to fail. Instead of Americans coming together to fight the disease, they remain divided, using politics as a tool to make things and the handling of the pandemic very difficult for Donald Trump.

It's not a hidden agenda that even though many openly show their support and admiration to the president, he is also surrounded by an empire of deceitful enemies who are not only praying for his failure but also will do everything to see the downfall of Donald Trump. 


Donald Trump's enemies are not giving him any help to fight the disease, instead, they are helping to spread the disease. 


There is a reason people often say that politics is a dirty game, however, if Americans will not put this dirty game aside to help the president, by the time the disease subsides, it may kill millions of Americans, including children, Caucasians, and blacks.

OBEYING THE RULES AT HOME TO AVOID THE SPREAD OF THE CORONAVIRUS


Belgian writer, journalist, and author Joel Savage

Joel Savage 


I have read much about biological weapons and diseases. Years back, if a prophet, a soothsayer, or anyone with a third-eye would have told me that an epidemic will appear and kill over 8,000 people in Belgium, I don't think I would have accepted it.


However, here I am today, in a state of shock and confusion, watching helplessly, as the death toll of victims of coronavirus keeps rising in a country that tourism has played a major role in its economy and has also lived peacefully for the past twenty years.

No matter how safe some families are, you need an extra-strength and courage to listen to the daily news with announcements about deaths from the coronavirus, and as the number of deaths keeps increasing daily, that makes one feels sometimes that there is no need to live in this world any longer.

I have been at home for almost two months. Even though some people may like to stay at home without work, this temporary confinement has taken its toll on me. A man needs to work hard to feed his family. Working helps to improve your health physically and psychologically.


As of May 8, 2020, the coronavirus pandemic has killed more than 151,797 people in Europe, three-quarters of which in Italy, Spain, France and the United Kingdom but the situation also in Belgium is alarming, taking into consideration the size of the country. Belgium has so far recorded 52,596 cases and 8,581 deaths.

My condolence to everyone in Belgium affected by this pandemic. It's only a matter of time, everything will be over. It's a very tough period for everyone but we need to be tougher, encourage, and motivate others to stay alive in this pandemic.

I tried to cut my own hair and eventually, I made a big hole in the process. I have no option than to continue obeying the law to stay at home and leave my beard like that of King Nebuchadnezzar. 

We have no specific role to play in this coronavirus crisis than to obey the law, avoiding social gatherings, and follow the hygienic rules recommended, avoiding the spread of the disease.

CHINA MUST EASE AFRICAN DEBT BURDEN – GHANA’S FINANCE MINISTER


Ghana's Finance Minister, Ken Ofori-Atta

Ghana's finance minister said China should step up debt relief for African countries in economic distress due to the coronavirus pandemic. This was reported by the Reuters news agency, citing a statement by the Minister of Finance of Ghana.



“I believe that China should act more actively,” Ken Ofori-Atta said during a conversation with Masoud Ahmed, head of the Washington Center for Global Development.

Ofori-Atta is currently chairing the Africa Development Committee, a ministerial forum whose members are consulting with the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund on development.

“The African debt to China is about 145 billion US dollars; this year it will be necessary to pay more than 8 billion ... This must be taken into account,” he added.

According to reporters, African governments have requested $100 billion in assistance to combat the pandemic, as well as a moratorium on external debt and the complete cancellation of some debts. 

Mr. Ofori-Atta added that African countries intend to increase their special drawing rights and foreign exchange reserves, managed by the IMF, to protect against defaults on commercial debts.

Africa accounts for only a small proportion of coronavirus infections globally, but the continent's health systems are already under serious pressure, with continent economies expected to decline, putting at least 20 million jobs at risk.

On Tuesday, April 7, China said it recognized that developing countries were facing more serious problems during the fight against the pandemic but did not mention any specific debt relief measures that were planned to be implemented.

At a media briefing, the representative of the Chinese Foreign Ministry, Zhao Lijian, said that China would discuss bilateral requests from the countries concerned.
