COVID-19: USA, Italy & the rest of Europe

[Thaiyotakamli]

Any difference between china govt and other govt? All of them cover up, slow in response and trying to pretend everything is okay. The world has seen how china face such pandemic yet western govt still take their own sweet time in preparation against the virus. Worse some go and cover up like what china did, usa number isnt booming in such short time but rather they found out recently how worse the condition is.

I think those inept leaders who are slow to response are trying to find a "common enemy" to deflect responsibilities. Europe and US have more than 2 months to prepare but most of their leaders just sit and watch the virus spread into their countries without much planning. This is very much a political hot potato for them now.

That's why Taiwan is the gold standard in this crisis.

Despite its close proximity to China, number of cases is lower than HK.

From surgical mask importer in January to surgical mask exporter in March.

Taiwan is lucky because they don’t have prc tourist at all. 
 

taiwan despite has ramped up their masks, they still limit every person to buy 9 masks every 2 weeks

Taiwan has PRC tourist but not in large quantity.

Not forgetting there are a lot of Taiwanese working in PRC or have biz in PRC.

Sony Establishes $100 Million COVID-19 Global Relief Fund

source: https://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/202004/20-027E/

Tokyo, Japan - Sony Corporation today announced the establishment of the "Sony Global Relief Fund for COVID-19," a 100 million US dollar fund to support those around the world affected by the COVID-19 virus.

Through this fund, Sony will provide support in three areas: assistance for those individuals engaged in frontline medical and first responder efforts to fight the virus, support for children and educators who must now work remotely, and support for members of the creative community in the entertainment industry, which has been greatly impacted by the spread of the virus.

In terms of medical support, 10 million U.S. dollars of the fund will be devoted first to the COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund for WHO powered by the UN Foundation and Swiss Philanthropy Foundation, as well as Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF), United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) and United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) to assist medical workers and others on the frontline of response efforts to the virus. Sony will also work with its external partners to explore ways that it can support activities that prevent the further spread and contribute to treatment of the COVID-19 virus.

In the area of education, where children, who represent the next generation, are losing education opportunities as a result of school closures, Sony will explore ways to leverage its technologies in support of education activities, and cooperate with educators to implement these measures.

Furthermore, in terms of the creative community such as music, pictures, games and animation, together with its group companies engaged in the entertainment industry, Sony will seek ways to support up-and-coming creators, artists and all those in professions supporting the industry, who have been impacted by the cancellation or postponement of concerts and live events, or the shutting down of film and television productions.

Sony also announced that employees will be able to provide their support through a matching gift program that is scheduled to be offered to its approximately 110,000 employees worldwide.

Kenichiro Yoshida, President and CEO, Sony Corporation, said, "Sony extends its condolences to the families of those who have passed away as a result of the COVID-19 crisis, and extends its sympathies to all those who have been impacted. In order to overcome the unprecedented challenges that as a society we now face around the world, we will do all we can as a global company to support the individuals on the frontlines of the battle against COVID-19, the children who are our future, and those who have been impacted in the creative community."

Going forward, Sony will work together with its partners and stakeholders to explore ways to further extend these initiatives.

In peaceful times, all EU countries join hands and drinks together like abang adek ...

Only China lends a helping hands

You guys see what China did.. I am sure once covid-19 situation become better.. China will straight away have clear advantage due to their foresight and also have enough reserves to buy up huge amount of oil when oil price is very cheap now.. So confirmed China will go into lead and USA will be not be able to cast influence to the world as much as it is now..

I believe he is fired for leaking information of sailors contracting CONVID-19 to the media.  Just like leaking classified information under the OSA in Singapore.

Modly told reporters that Crozier was removed for showing "extremely poor judgment" and creating a "firestorm" by too widely disseminating the memo detailing his concerns, copying some 20 to 30 people.

He said Crozier was not removed because of any evidence suggesting he leaked the memo to the press, but rather for allowing "the complexity of his challenge with the Covid breakout on the ship to overwhelm his ability to act professionally when acting professionally was what was needed the most at the time."

I thought ppl understand chain of command.
