Coronavirus: Greece quarantines 2nd migrant camp
[DW] Public health authorities have locked down two migrant camps after residents tested positive for the novel coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)

. Rights groups have called on Athens to move migrants colonists from squalid island camps to the mainland.

Greek authorities on Sunday announced that a second migrant camp has been placed under lockdown restrictions after a 53-year-old Afghan migrant tested positive for the novel coronavirus.

The Afghan man and his family reside in the Malakasa camp, which lies about 45 kilometers (28 miles) north of Athens. Public health authorities are attempting to trace the chain of transmission, although it could prove difficult with the camp hosting some 1,800 migrants colonists.

Greece last week placed the Ritsona migrant camp in northern Greece under lockdown. Both camps will remain under quarantine for at least 14 days, according to Greece's migration ministry.

More than 110,000 migrants colonists reside in overcrowded camps across the country, including 40,000 who live in squalid conditions on five Greek islands. Many of them arrived in 2015 after fleeing war and extreme poverty in the Middle East, Asia and Africa.

New Orleans Death Rate 3 Times Higher Than New York City
[OANN] Experts recently revealed coronavirus (aka COVID19 or Chinese Plague)
...the twenty first century equivalent of bubonic plague, only instead of killing off a third of the population of Europe it kills 3.4 percent of those who notice they have it. It seems to be fond of the elderly, especially Iranian politicians and holy men...
 seems to be far deadlier in New Orleans, Louisiana, than anywhere else in the United States. New Orleans has reportedly experienced a COVID-19 death rate three times higher than New York City.

According to the CDC, 78 percent of patients in U.S. intensive care units had underlying conditions, such as obesity or diabetes.

Doctors in Louisiana have said this information is in line with the results they have been seeing in New Orleans cases.

"We think that a lot of the organ dysfunction that we see in this COVID syndrome is the result of excessive systemic inflammation," explained Dr. Kyle Happel. "We know that folks that are obese a lot of times have markers in their blood and, a lot of times, systemic inflammation."

As of Saturday, Louisiana reported more than 12,400 cases of COVID-19, with the corpse count reaching just over 400. The state’s health department has said that 97 percent of those killed by the virus had some form of preexisting condition.

Thousands of NY COVID patients are being treated with anti-malarial drug
[NYPOST] As many as 4,000 seriously ill coronavirus patients in New York are being treated with the anti-malarial drug hydroxychloroquine, state health officials say.

President Trump has touted hydroxychloroquine as a potential life-saver, although there is no widespread scientific evidence to date showing it helps battle COVID-19.

But Gov. Andrew Cuomo last month said healthcare providers in the state would be using the drug in combination with the antibiotic Zithromax, or azithromycin, for some last-ditch cases, based on potentially promising research.

“Time is of the essence,’’ said Albany University Public Health Dean David Holtgrave, who is on the state’s research team, in a statement.

A state Health Department official said the DOH has shipped doses of hydroxychloroquine to 56 hospitals across New York, distributing enough “to treat 4,000 patients to date.”

Patients have received doses as part of four- or 10-day regimens, officials said.

The University of Albany’s School of Public Health is observing the drug’s impact on the patients, and its preliminary study could come back in weeks instead of the usual months, officials said.

France reports lowest daily virus toll in a week, total now 8,078
The Jerusalem Post adds:
For the third day in a row, the French health ministry also reported the cumulative tally of deaths in nursing homes since the start of the epidemic in early March, which were previously unreported.

This added another 2,028 deaths to the national tally for a total death toll of 7,560, an increase of 1,053 on the cumulative figure reported on Friday.
Previously unreported, nursing home deaths now make up nearly a third of total coronavirus deaths
