07.21. Despite the outbreaks of coronavirus, Galicia and the Basque Country vote in regional elections
Galicia and the Basque Country are voting today in atypical regional elections, with reinforced hygiene measures and hundreds of voters excluded because they are sick with coronavirus . Some 420 voters, out of a total of 4.48 million voters called to renew the respective parliaments, cannot vote in these elections, the Basque and Galician regional governments indicated in the name of prevention.
The Basque executive pointed out that the active cases of coronavirus , about 160 people before the polls were opened, have "restricted mobility", so if they left home to go to vote they would be "committing a crime against public health", warned the regional security minister, Estefanía Beltrán de Heredia. They also cannot vote by mail, because the term has expired.
07.11. Li-Meng Yan, the Chinese virologist who fled to the US, accuses Beijing of hiding the truth about the coronavirus
Li-Meng Yan, a renowned doctor of virology and immunology at the Hong Kong School of Public Health, has accused the Chinese government of concealing important facts about the coronavirus that could have saved thousands of lives. In an interview on Fox, Li-Meng Yan, who had to flee China and is exiled in the United States, acknowledges that her bosses totally ignored the investigation she was doing about the pandemic. The accusations by Li-Meng Yan have caused the University of Hong Kong, where she worked, to have removed her website and published a statement in which she reported that she is no longer a member of the team.
According to Yan, all the information that pointed out that it was a highly dangerous virus is known not only to the Chinese government, but also to the WHO, long before international alerts were issued. Li-Meng Yan says that she was one of the first scientists on the planet to study the coronavirus and that she did so at the request of supervisor Dr. Leo Poon, from the laboratory where she was summoned. "The Chinese government refused to allow foreign experts, including those from Hong Kong, to investigate China," he said. "So I turned to my friends for more information."
A friend, a scientist at the China Center for Disease Control and Prevention, knew the cases firsthand and allegedly told Yan on December 31 about person-to-person transmission long before China or the WHO admitted that such a spread was possible . On January 9, 2020, the WHO issued a statement saying, among other things: "According to the Chinese authorities, the virus in question can cause serious illness in some patients and is not easily transmitted between people.
