Europe faces the threat of an abnormal heat wave

 

Heat wave across Europe

Europe is experiencing an unusual heat wave, with temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius prompting declarations of high weather threat in Italy, France, Spain, and other nations. While labor unions are demanding a temporary ban on outdoor work, authorities have closed schools and recommended that locals stay indoors throughout the day. In the meantime, Greece and Turkey are experiencing bushfires.

 

In June, the temperature in the Huelva region of Spain hit a record-breaking 46 degrees Celsius. Widespread forest fires and comparable temperatures were noted in Portugal, Greece, Italy, and the Western Balkans. A January 2025 study found that the impacts of heat kill about 175 thousand individuals in the WHO European Region per year.

 

Temperatures have also risen to critical levels in Portugal, where two-thirds of the country is under high alert. Temperatures in Lisbon are predicted to rise over 42 degrees Celsius. In order to lower the risk of fires and safeguard the public's health, officials have declared limitations on outdoor activities during the hottest hours.

 

Extreme weather conditions have also impacted Italy. To lower the danger of heatstroke and other heat-related problems, outdoor employment has been prohibited during peak hours in the regions of Lazio, Tuscany, Calabria, Puglia, and Umbria. Rome, Milan, Naples, and 21 of the 27 main cities have recorded temperatures above 40 degrees Celsius.

 

Greece is still dealing with natural calamities, as evidenced by the massive forest fires that have already occurred there in recent weeks. As a reminder, a large fire that started south of Athens forced the evacuation of dozens of people from the island of Chios, where it burned for three days. To tackle the fire, the authorities sent out 130 firefighters, 12 helicopters, and 12 airplanes. They also evacuated 40 people from high-risk regions where the fire could spread.

 

Belgium has triggered the warning phase for its high heat and ozone peaks strategy as temperatures continue to rise this week. Forecasts from the Belgian Royal Meteorological Institute (RMI) indicate that temperatures will rise over 25°C during the next few days, with many locations in the nation seeing temperatures as high as 34°C on Saturday.


To safeguard the safety of citizens, particularly vulnerable groups like the elderly and children, local authorities and trade unions are calling for the expansion of restrictions and the implementation of additional measures. Mobile teams have been organized to help individuals in need, and cooling and water distribution centers have already been established in several areas. Due to the risk of forest fires, Italy and Slovenia, neighboring countries, have issued a state of emergency.

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.

THE APOCALYPSE IMPACT OF COVID 19 IN AMERICA

The coronavirus has hit-hard the United States of America than any country in the world


The coronavirus has hit-hard the United States of America than any country in the world



We have heard of the word ‘apocalypse,’ referring to the period of the complete final destruction of the world, as described in the biblical book of Revelation. 


Nobody actually knows when this biblical prophecy will take place or even if it will take place at all, however, today, we are witnessing with shock, despair, and anxiety of how a virus named corona or COVID 19's impact is destroying the world.



When the coronavirus initially emerged from Wuhan, China, in December, last year, many countries around the world underestimated the strength of the virus and, therefore, didn’t fully prepared to fight the virus.

When the disease starts spreading from country to country with destructive fury before governments realize the mistake they have done by responding late to curb the disease. Today, the coronavirus infections around the globe are 3,363,945 and 237,458 deaths.

The coronavirus has attacked almost every country in the world with some registering high and low death rates. However, countries like Spain, Italy, and America, have paid dearly. 

Without any knowledge about when the virus will subside, Italy has already registered 207,428 cases and 28,236 deaths, while Spain has recorded 242,988 cases with 24,824 deaths.

But shockingly, the disease has decimated the United States of America, in a manner nobody is expecting.  COVID – 19 has so far infected 1,111,236 and killed over 64,876 people, putting thousands of Americans into a state of despair, anxiety, and depression.

Analyzing the current impact of the coronavirus in America, it brings to the mind what depopulation is about, that is having fewer people living in the world or a country and some of the strategic methods to establish strictly totalitarian control over the world's population is the use of biological weapons, through vaccines and epidemics.

Even though we are not sure if the intention of the coronavirus is to depopulate the world, the virus has done exactly what global depopulation is about, making its impact felt in America, a country interested in the clandestine activities of global depopulation. 

If you don't understand what global depopulation is about, don't look far, just ponder over the impact of the coronavirus in the world, especially, in the United States of America today, followed by daily countless corpses.

The coronavirus is far from over but already the world's economy is a disaster. Many have lost their jobs and the unemployment rate is getting higher each day. Many don't feel like living in this world any longer and are, therefore, committing suicide.

It really makes sense if the Trump administration says that they have seen evidence coronavirus came from Chinese lab, however, the US intelligence agencies claim the disease is not man-made


This is a time everyone needs to be strong. A time to be sad, a time to be happy. We are in a time of global mourning, however, since there is sunshine many times, after rain, the coronavirus will subside for everyone to go back to normal life.

THE HISTORY OF THE PANDEMIC SPANISH FLU IN 1918


Victims of the Spanish flu in 1819


Victims of the Spanish flu in 1819


The whole world is sad and almost every country is mourning because of the coronavirus pandemic, which originates from Wuhan, China, engulfing the world like a bush fire in the dry season, taking both the young, old, whites and blacks, to their unexpecting graves.


Many of us today weren't born when similar pandemics previously hit the world. One of such pandemics which claimed millions of lives was the Spanish flu. What is the story behind this pandemic? And why is it called the Spanish flu?

The Spanish flu first appeared in April 1918, in The United States. However, the deadly flu had its name Spanish flu because Spain was the first European country to announce the pandemic. 

It was a neutral state on a war-torn continent and there was no strict military censorship. The Spaniards themselves called that pandemic "Pesadilla," meaning a nightmare.

It was impossible to hide the scale of the disease when the Spanish king Alfonso XIII, the prime minister, and almost the entire cabinet fell ill with a high fever. 

If in past years the flu usually mowed children and the elderly, pregnant and people with pathologies, then the Spaniard behaved differently. The victims of the epidemic were young citizens in their prime, between the ages of 20 to 40 years.


Symptoms of the disease were blue complexion, pneumonia, and a bloody cough. The fact is that in the later stages, intrapulmonary bleeding often occurred, and the infected person was choked with his own blood. According to virologists, most likely, the cause of high mortality was not the usual course of the disease. 


A Spanish woman led to fulminant destruction of the respiratory tissues and filling the lungs with sputum. Neither youth, nor immunity, nor the physical strength of potential victims of infection saved from such an infection.

The beginning of the last century, as we know, was characterized by industrial growth spurred by technological progress. It was at this time that the railways were being built with might and main, the airships plowed the sky, and the big ships take over the ocean. 

It is not surprising that at such speeds of scientific thought, the virus began a victorious march on the planet with leaps and bounds. For a whole year (though only in some countries) not only shops, theaters, and schools, but even courts and churches were closed. 

Handshakes were forbidden, as now, just like today's situation in the coronavirus and in some places, the military was established for a long time. Despite the unprecedented attacks on personal freedoms, large victims could not be avoided,  however, according to the researchers, there would be many more deaths if there were no restrictions. 

In the first 25 weeks, the flu killed 25 million people. In Barcelona, ​​Spain alone, 1,200 people died every day. The massive movement of troops of countries participating in the First World War led to an acceleration of the spread of influenza and the entire villages from Alaska to South Africa became extinct.


The hardships of the war contributed to the widespread of the infection: unsanitary conditions, malnutrition, and undeveloped refugee camps. In the 18 months of 1919-1920, about 550 million people became infected.

According to the researchers, the data of the number of deceased, the data of researchers differ, some say about 17 million, others, about 50, while others claimed about 100 million. 

Thus, the world population for this short time decreased by 0.9-5.3 percent. This allows virologists to consider the Spanish pandemic as one of the largest disasters in human history.

Modern scientists have managed to unravel the nature of this worldwide infection. In 1997, the U.S. Army Institute of Molecular Pathology (AFIP) received a sample of the 1918 H1N1 virus. He was isolated from the corpse of a native Alaskan woman. 

The 1918 Spanish flu epidemic

The buried body lay in permafrost for more than 80 years. The resulting sample helped researchers in October 2002 to recreate the gene structure of the Spanish virus, which the planet was covered in 1918-1920. As it turned out, it is a virus of the same serotype as H1N1, which caused the 2009 swine flu pandemic.

What other conclusions do scientists make? Indeed, today such comparative studies are of particular relevance. As you know, now a debate has flared up in the world whether or not to introduce strict quarantine measures with a ban on people even leaving their homes.

Now over a hundred years since the Influenza killed millions, we are under attack by a new virus called the Coronavirus which was said to originate from China. The disease infected over 1,412,378 and killed 81,099 worldwide.

Businesses have collapsed and thousands are left unemployed. The streets remain quiet without any activities since everyone needs to stay home to avoid the spread of the disease. 

Nobody knows when the coronavirus will subside but one thing we believe is since many survived the 1918 Spanish flu, it's only a matter of time many will survive to tell the story to the next generation.

THE IMPACT OF CORONAVIRUS TERRIBLE IN AMERICA


The impact of coronavirus in America has been a tough issue for Trump to handle


The impact of the coronavirus in America has been a tough issue for Trump to handle


At least 830 people died in the United States per day, a record for the number of deaths. The country is in first place in terms of the number of infected in the world and in third - in the number of victims.


Over the past day in the United States, 830 people died from coronavirus infection COVID-19. This was reported by CNN, which makes calculations based on information from federal and local authorities.

According to the television company, this indicator is the largest in the country for the day. The total number of deaths in the country increased to 4,000. Cases of infection have been recorded in all US states. 

The only state where no deaths from COVID-19 have yet been registered is Wyoming.

As of March 31, the United States came in third in the world in the number of coronavirus victims, ahead of mainland China.

The United States, in terms of deaths, is second only to Italy, where 12,428 people died, and Spain, with 8,269 victims. The countries with the highest number of victims also include France (3,024 dead).

According to Johns Hopkins University, in the United States, more than 189 thousand cases of infection with coronavirus have already been recorded, nd 4079 people have died. 7109 people recovered.


The Director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, Anthony Fauci, said that the coronavirus is cyclical. 

According to him, the second outbreak of the disease may return this fall due to the spread of the disease from person to person. Citizens will be better prepared for a new outbreak, says Fauci.

Dr. Raoult Calls On Africans Not To Take Bill Gates’ COVID 19 Vaccine

Dr. Didier Rault and Bill Gates

Dr. Didier Rault and Bill Gates


"Esta não é uma notícia falsa; o nobaschecker e a Organização Mundial da Saúde estão corruptos—This is not a fake news."

.
According to Dr. Didier Raoult, the best treatment for the coronavirus, or COVID-19, remains chloroquine, and already the medicine is being administered in France, which has been a good remedy to cure the coronavirus, which has shaken the whole world.


However, some people find it clever to want to put chloroquine aside because of personal interests and gain. It appears that one such person is Bill Gates, the founder of Microsoft.


Dr. Didier Raoult calls on Africans not to take Bill Gates’ COVID-19 vaccine. On his Facebook page, Didier Raoul declares, "I call on Africans not to take the vaccine that will soon be on sale against the coronavirus."

This vaccine contains poison, and the Westerners want to destroy Africa on the pretext that it is the coronavirus that destroyed Africa. 

Dr. Raoult wants to know why they do not start their vaccine in Italy, Spain, and France, where there are many cases. 

Why do they want to start in Africa, where there are fewer cases? I call on African leaders to be careful; the only vaccine and antidote to fight the coronavirus is chloroquine.

To find out that Bill Gates’ vaccine has no drawbacks, let them start from Europe, the countries affected by the coronavirus, because Africans no longer want to be guinea pigs for Westerners. 

The responsibility of African heads of state is eagerly awaited if it turns out that Bill Gates wants to test and market his vaccine, starting with Africa. 

This is not the first time scientists and doctors have criticized the clandestine activities of Bill Gates when it comes to administering vaccines in third-world countries.

Before the coronavirus pandemic, Bill Gates said in the year 2015 that there was going to be a pandemic that would kill over 30 million people. 

This is enough for any intelligent person to acknowledge the fact that the coronavirus, or COVID-19, is a biological weapon.


Editorial


Since the above article went viral, generating over 60,000 readers, I guess it affects Bill Gates, who had already invested millions of dollars into coronavirus vaccines, dashing his hopes of bringing it to the African market. 

Bill Gates preaches healing Africa, but the truth behind his presence in third-world countries is that he uses Africans as guinea pigs in testing new drugs and vaccines manufactured by pharmaceutical companies in the United States of America.

Despite the failure, Bill Gates didn't give up. They contacted an African journalist with AFP Fact Check, called Amanuel Neguede, to write a false article that the "French doctor did not urge Africans to avoid a Bill Gates vaccine." The article was published on April 9, 2020.

I knew it was a false article; therefore, I quickly wrote mine, captioning it AN OPEN LETTER TO AFP JOURNALIST AMANUEL NEGUEDE ABOUT BILL GATES' VACCINESto fight it.

After the article, I made it available on Twitter in such a way that both the media Mr. Neguede represents—AFP—and he can read the article without escaping their attention. Since then, I haven't heard from any of them.

Read this article to find out how corrupt the entire World Health Organization is: HOW DR. MICHAEL RYAN HAS EXPOSED HIMSELF AND THE WORLD HEALTH ORGANIZATION OF CORRUPTION.

For The Discerning Reader In Love With Diversity Of Culture


Joel Savage


Once a journalist asked Chinua Achebe, one of Africa's greatest and internationally known writers, the reason he hasn't written any book about Europe and America. Achebe responded by saying that a lot has already been written about those two continents.


Yes, there are thousands of European and American writers, but only a few write about Africa. The reason my articles and books reflect on my culture as an African, that living in Europe for many years.

I know that there are thousands of readers interested in the non-fiction genre of books; thus, one of my goals is to share my non-fiction books through the diversity of culture. My utterly compelling collections are destined to capture the reader's attention and interest, to learn about other people's culture and heritage.

My books are in the categories of travel, immigration, health, and entertainment. The personal account of the stories reflects on the places I visited in Africa, such as Ghana, Guinea, Nigeria, Ivory Coast, Sierra Leone, Togo, Benin, and The Gambia. And in Europe, it's about life in Barcelona, Spain, Aarhus, Denmark, England, Amsterdam, Holland, Rome, Italy, and Antwerp, Belgium.

The African stories act like a guide to European and American tourists. The books will teach you how to avoid being a victim of thieves, armed robbers, and immigration crooks, who prey on nationals and foreigners, while the European stories teach Africans how to survive in Europe, without papers and crime.

Many ask the reason some of my books have sad titles. Each title reflects on the story, but the books have their humorous part too. Explore the humane, captivating, and emotional account of Joel Savage's books, which will keep you turning the pages late into the night. 

Wishing everyone, including readers, authors, and writers, Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
