Eye-rolling after CNN’s teen panelist Greta Thunberg implores world to ‘listen to the experts’ on Covid-19

Eye-rolling after CNN’s teen panelist Greta Thunberg implores world to ‘listen to the experts’ on Covid-19 Greta Thunberg sparked controversy after telling CNN viewers to follow the guidance of experts as the world combats coronavirus – even as the teen panelist admitted she’s not an authority on the health crisis. CNN came under fire after announcing that the Swedish teen would participate in a Covid-19 town-hall event hosted by Anderson Cooper and CNN Chief Medical Correspondent Dr Sanjay Gupta. Critics of the decision to include Thunberg argued that the climate activist was not qualified to speak about the pandemic. Judging by Thunberg’s remarks during the discussion, it appears she at least partly agrees with her detractors. “People are starting...

Tesla could launch a million-mile battery this year

Uncategorized

Tesla could launch a million-mile battery this year Tesla is set to launch a million-mile battery as soon as this year or early in 2021 for its Model 3 in China.

Last year, a team from the Dalhousie University in Halifax, Canada, who do research for Tesla, said in a paper that they had tested lithium-ion battery cell chemistry expected to be able to power electric vehicles (EVs) for more than 1 million miles and last at least two decades in grid energy storage.

Covid-19 crisis could leave $8.8 trillion hole in global economy, Asian Development Bank warns

Covid-19 crisis could leave .8 trillion hole in global economy, Asian Development Bank warns The coronavirus pandemic could chop nearly 10 percent off global gross domestic product (GDP), the Asian Development Bank (ADB) predicts, more than doubling its previous forecast. The global economy could suffer between $5.8 trillion and $8.8 trillion in losses, the equivalent of between 6.4 percent and 9.7 percent of global GDP, the report published on Friday said. This is much worse than the Manila-based bank predicted in April, when it said that the Covid-19 global cost could range between $2 trillion and $4.1 trillion.

Uncategorized

Cafes & restaurants reopen in parts of Australia after 2-month shutdown Cafes, restaurants and bars in Australia’s most populous state were reopening on Friday after a two-month shutdown under coronavirus lockdown measures.

Restaurants, public pools and other businesses are reopening under the proviso they limit customers to 10 at any one time. In the Northern Territory, where coronavirus case numbers have been low and there have been no deaths, pubs are o...

Feeling the zeitgeist: German restaurant uses plastic mannequins to make it feel FULL & LIVELY during Covid-19 pandemic

Uncategorized

Feeling the zeitgeist: German restaurant uses plastic mannequins to make it feel FULL & LIVELY during Covid-19 pandemic Social distancing can make once-vibrant places seem eerily empty these days, but one German restaurant is always full of diners. It’s using shop-window mannequins to improve the atmosphere and keep real visitors company. Borrowed from a local vendor, six mannequins now permanently occupy dining tables at the family-run hotel and restaurant Haase in Laatzen, Germany. The dummies have been given old-fashioned German names like Hubertus or Hannelore, but one of them, a female character, is called Conny Corona – an appropriate nod to the zeitgeist of the time. © Ruptly ...

‘Irresponsible, ignorant & reckless’: WATCH drone risk COLLISION with Blue Angels stunt squad to capture Detroit flyover footage

Uncategorized

‘Irresponsible, ignorant & reckless’: WATCH drone risk COLLISION with Blue Angels stunt squad to capture Detroit flyover footage Controversial drone footage has emerged showing a UAV just meters away from a formation of US Navy Blue Angels as they performed a flyover in Detroit, risking the lives of all involved and likely breaking the law in the process. Set to a soundtrack pulled directly from ‘Top Gun,’ the brief video clip shows six Blue Angel F/A-18 Hornets as they perform a series of dizzying maneuvers over the Motor City. But with the small drone flying perilously close to the stunt planes, risking a collision, the aerial exercises could have easily ended in disaster. //www.youtube.com/embed/sJbG...

US sailors return to coronavirus-hit aircraft carrier only to test positive AGAIN, despite months of containment efforts

Uncategorized

US sailors return to coronavirus-hit aircraft carrier only to test positive AGAIN, despite months of containment efforts Five American sailors have tested positive for Covid-19 for a second time after resuming duty on board an aircraft carrier that saw a major outbreak in March, even after a full evacuation of its crew and months of deep cleaning. Though the Navy imposed several layers of screenings before allowing sailors to re-board the ill-fated USS 'Theodore Roosevelt' – where more than 1,000 personnel contracted the virus in March – the five seamen nonetheless tested positive again after returning to the ship, the military confirmed on Thursday. “Five ['Theodore Roosevelt'] sailors who previously tested Covid positive and met rigorous recovery ...

China shreds US for decrying Beijing’s ‘predatory interests’ in Arctic… while seeking to buy Greenland

Uncategorized

China shreds US for decrying Beijing’s ‘predatory interests’ in Arctic… while seeking to buy Greenland China’s envoy to Denmark has penned a harsh rebuttal to his American counterpart, who accused Beijing of seeking to impose “authoritarian values” on Greenland – in stark contrast to an honest US offer to outright buy the island. The envoy, Feng Tie, hit out at Washington’s Ambassador to Denmark Carla Sands in an op-ed this week after she alleged that both China and Russia have malicious designs on Greenland and the Arctic region as a whole. Sands stated that only increased US influence could ensure a “secure and stable Arctic.” “It is important to remember that any cooperation is voluntary. China can in no way impose cooperation on Greenland or Den...

‘Interests of elites v human rights’? UN warns against hasty lockdown lifting as global death toll tops 300,000

Uncategorized

‘Interests of elites v human rights’? UN warns against hasty lockdown lifting as global death toll tops 300,000 The global death toll in the Covid-19 pandemic has crossed 300,000, hitting another dark milestone as the United Nations voiced concerns that lockdown measures are being lifted too quickly, warning of a “second wave” of the virus. Surpassing a total of 300,000 fatalities and nearing 4.5 million cases globally on Thursday, according to data gathered by Johns Hopkins University, the worldwide viral outbreak continues to expand across some 188 nations, infecting tens of thousands every day. The latest figures came on the heels of a new warning from the UN’s Human Rights High Commissioner Michelle Bachelet, who said countries that repeal conta...

Jailing people who use Covid-19 as bioweapon would be ‘discrimination.’ So better lock up everyone instead?

Uncategorized

Jailing people who use Covid-19 as bioweapon would be ‘discrimination.’ So better lock up everyone instead? Accidentally spreading Covid-19 is wanting grandma dead, say opponents of ending lockdowns. Yet activists now worry that proposed laws to punish those who threaten to spread it deliberately would discriminate against minorities. A Florida man spat and coughed on a police officer responding to a domestic violence call, and faces up to five years in prison on a federal charge of biological weapons hoax (he was negative for Covid-19). Another man in Texas, who falsely claimed on Facebook that he paid someone to spread the virus at local grocery stores, was charged with the same thing. A Michigan man who wiped his face with a store employee’s shir...
