Coronavirus: CDC chief warns second wave of COVID-19 could be worse next winters for the United States

As the United States struggles between re-opening and more testing, the head of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Robert Redfield warned that a second wave of the Covid-19 could be more severe in the coming winter. Due to its similarities with common flu, it will cause a toll on healthcare systems, Washington Post reported.

Redfield rehashed that the following year will be of more testing time, as the virus is going to be with us beyond this season and year until the scientists find a cure.

Currently, the global pandemic proceeds to reduce in some states in the United States, as shown in reports. The US government would need to prepare months ahead for a possible second wave of Coronavirus. In the United States, around 810,000 people have tested positive from Covid-19, and more than 45,000 have died.

The CDC head told CNN that as the state governors plan to lift restrictions gradually, they must upscale testing, contact tracing, personal hygiene, and continue social distancing measures to curb the pandemic.

The CDC is discussing with state officials to build a new contact tracing workforce to fight the Coronavirus pandemic. They will be trained and enrolled from the US Census Bureau and volunteers from Peace Corps and AmeriCorps. A new nationwide contact tracing network would require many recruits. However, they will play an essential role in preventing new Covid-19 cases from spreading further.

Al Gore has history of climate predictions, statements proven false

Noted climate activist and former Vice President Al Gore, who made headlines this week after he claimed global warming was "boiling the oceans," has a history of making climate-related proclamations later proven to be false. During remarks made Wednesday at the World Economic Forum summit in Davos, Switzerland, Gore warned that continued carbon emissions into the atmosphere would destroy the planet and lead to widespread calamities. "We’re still putting 162 million tons [of greenhouse gas] into it every single day and the accumulated amount is now trapping as much extra heat as would be released by 600,000 Hiroshima-class atomic bombs exploding every single day on the earth," Gore said. "That’s what’s boiling the oceans, creating these atmospheric rivers, and the rain bombs, and sucking the moisture out of the land, and creating the droughts, and melting the ice and raising the sea level, and causing these waves of climate refugees." Gore then not

Syria's alleged drug traffickers are warned via SMS messaging

Text messages advising against engaging in the illegal trade have started to arrive for drug traffickers working along Jordan's southern border with Syria. Nine days had passed after a smuggler had been murdered in a strange airstrike in southern Syria when the alerts were sent. “We recognize you. Your every step is being observed.” According to a claimed transcript of the texts made available by the Suwayda24 network of citizen journalists in southern Syria, "Your meetings are being watched." Jordan is looking to work with Damascus to stop the flow of narcotics because it serves as a major conduit for what Arab authorities characterize as a multibillion-dollar trade in the amphetamine known as Captagon. The 360-kilometer border between Jordan and Syria is regularly used to smuggle captagon tablets, and the trade has been expanding since 2018.
