The usual diagnostic tests may simply be too sensitive and too slow to contain the spread of the virus.
Some of the nation’s leading public health experts are raising a new concern in the endless debate over coronavirus testing in the United States: The standard tests are diagnosing huge numbers of people who may be carrying relatively insignificant amounts of the virus. Most of these people are not likely to be contagious, and identifying them may contribute to bottlenecks that prevent those who are contagious from being found in time. But researchers say the solution is not to test less, or to skip testing people without symptoms, as recently suggested by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Instead, new data underscore the need for more widespread use of rapid tests, even if they are less sensitive.

The European Commission has been developing this new strategy far away from public scrutiny. The drastic new drug agenda was only revealed after 29 civil society organizations spoke up in protest of the EU’s shadowy dealings.

STA, 29 July 2020 - Two young Belarusians pulled over by the police near Semič close to the border with Croatia on Tuesday evening were found to be carrying a total of ten Moroccans in two vehicles with Polish license plates in what is but the latest in a series of similar incidents reported by the police.
A press release from the Novo Mesto Police Department said the Moroccans had entered Slovenia illegally. The two Belarusians, both aged 21, will be brought before an investigating judge, while proceedings involving the migrants are still ongoing. Slovenian police handled 4,993 attempts at crossing the border illegally from January to the end of June, a decrease of 12.4% compared with the same period last year, a fall blamed on the pandemic loockdown and border restrictions.

Hello from Tiggert Museum,
We are in the south of Morocco near the city of Guelmin. Our beauriful palm oasis suffered a huge fire 2 weeks ago and 2 500 palm trees were burned out. Very sad. It is not clear how the fire started. This time it is so hot too. Luckily our historical museum was saved. Allah with us. We show to tourist the history of our nomadic tribes, our clothes, tools and traditions. The fire almost touched the door of our museum. But we were lucky. My cousin came 250 km far away from Alayun, quickly, worried about the museum. Its our life, our roots.
