If the authorities had heeded advice from those with the most profound knowledge of the mechanics of COVID-19, the pandemic could have been handled more adeptly, according to an immunologist, one of perhaps a few hundred in the world with the specific expertise.

"The defendant is ordered to refrain from publishing and distributing the book Crimes Without Weapons 2," - Judge Ondřej Sekvard
A source told The Epoch Times that the wife of businessman Pavel Burán, whose court case was included in a book called Crimes Without Guns II (suicide is being considered), died over the weekend "as a result of a gunshot wound." This book was to be presented last week at an expert seminar on the state of Czech justice in the Chamber of Deputies. However, before the start of the seminar, the book was banned by a preliminary injunction (pdf) by the judicial panel of the Municipal Court in Brno, headed by Judge Ondřej Sekvard, Ph.D.
This is the first ban on the publication of the book since the fall of the communist regime in the former Czechoslovakia. The last book banned was Mein Kampf by Adolf Hitler, which is now publicly available (source). According to the organizers of the seminar, the reason for the banning of Crimes Without Weapons II was the chapter devoted to the case of Pavel Burán. Full article>

"Eighty-nine percent of potential voters, according to recent polls, have - even if out of ignorance, including presidents - a negative attitude toward our actions. The awarding of honors by this president is hypothetical. " - "Our case has become - through no fault of our own - a litmus test for elections to high office in this country. This litmus test is a reliable indicator for both parties. For me, it shows the state of the Czech Republic 33 years after the Velvet Revolution." Josef Mašín

"Find the limit of work", writes Minister Lipavsky to diplomats...
In five months, the Foreign Ministry has been rocked by three sudden and untimely deaths of high-ranking Czech diplomats - "on duty" and in high-profile destinations. The office is considering a new regulation of working conditions under the Foreign Service Act. Access to psychological care for diplomats and their families is also to be improved.
The Czernin Palace has faced unprecedented pressure, especially from President Miloš Zeman and his entourage, which has accompanied the Castle's efforts to reverse the focus of foreign policy - from the West to the East and towards authoritarian regimes. Full article>
As a side note, the diplomat Jana Hybášková was caught drunk driving - and promoted. The brilliant diplomat Dr. Jana Chaloupková, who refused to behave in a way that was not in accordance with the rules, was literally thrown out of the MFA on the street. All this after many years of successful diplomatic work for our country (knowledge of 12 foreign languages).
