WHO investigation

 One of the member of World Health Organization - Dominic Dwyer, accuses China of not handing over key data about covid, which is basically precise information about the very beginning of it. It all happened when China doubted whether the pandemic actually started there. They made a theory that coronavirus originated in different country and got to Wuhan with imported frozen food.  Peter Ben Embarek - leader of WHO, said last week that yes, there is a possibility that the virus was transmitted there via frozen food, but it would be extremelly difficult and hard to find out if it is actually true, but also not impossible. The first step was getting this key data from Chinesse government, but now apprently they don't want to give it.


What I think is that Chinesse government is trying to put a blame on everyone else instead facing the fact that they are the one to put the blame on. It's not the first time when they can't adress their own shortcomings and when it gets really hot in the country they just try to rally it against common enemy to unite and sooth people. If they don't have anything to hide then why are they making the investigation difficult? First they had problems with visas, then put the whole squad of WHO in hotel quarantine and now they are oppposing to just give neccessary information that techincally could support their theory.

    I'd be far from defending the Chinese government but many other governments in the world hide or manipulate data if it can improve their image and save them trouble. Look closer to home and you'll find examples of that too.

Cyprus urged to ban hunting at coast to protect flamingoes

Obraz
 Larnaca Salt Lake in Cyprus is a key stop for almost 15,000 flamingoes on the migration path from Africa to Europe. Everything was okey until January last year when governemnt's fauna serviced noticed tens losses of flamingoes. They died in the result of lead poisoning from shotgun pellets. To this day hunting for ducks was only allowed in the network's southern tip of the Salt Lake, but now conservationists in Cyprus are urging to expand a hunting ban, because even though using lead pellets is prohibited here, hunters don't care and still use them. As the result flamingoes eat residues of them and die.  I totally agree with poeple who say that hunting for ducks should be forbidden here at all. First of all, generally, killing these poor ducks isn't funny and I totally can't understand how it can be amusing to anyone, but I also understand that it couldn't be totally prohibited, because (unfortunatelly) many people treat it as a hobby. But now hunters don't...

Ma'Khia Bryant's death

On Tuesday afternoon the police in Colombus, Ohio, received an attempted stabbing call and after a few minutes another one. When the police arrived on the scene they saw a woman, which later turned out to be 16 years old Ma'Khia Bryant, moving towards another girl. She was holding a knife ready to stab the other girl, but dropped it after being shot 4 times in the chest by the police. She was taken to the hospital and prounanced dead. Hazel Bryant, who is Ma'Khia's aunt said that her niece got into the fight with other teenagers. Now people are arguing if this is another act of racism in the USA.  At first I was shocked when I've read that this girl died, because of this action, but then I saw the video of it, where you can clearly see she was in full swing mode, closer than 1 second to stab the other teenage girl and wasn't listening to the police requests to stop. If the police didn't shoot her the other girl would have been probably dead by now and I wonder w...

New bans in Switzerland

 Sunday's referendum in Switzerland showed that 51% of Swiss voters voted in favour of banning face coverings in public, including the burka or niqab worn by Muslim men and especially women. Face masks worn for health and safety reasons won't be affected by the new law. Switzerland's parliament opposed the referendum proposal and said it represents a "fringe phonomenon". The Muslims are mad and are critisizing the ban saying that it is clearly directed against them.  I agree with them and it is totally understandable that they are angry. It is very suspicious for me that people from the Swiss People's Party who voted for banning face covering say that it is not aimed at Muslims and that it also applies to for example rioters who often pull over their faces a scarf, but then make posters with a graphic of a Muslim woman on it and caption under it saying: "Stop Islam extremism!"... If they will accept this ban it will ruin their reputation and clearly ...
