Coronavirus threatens future of eurozone, Brussels warns
The coronavirus pandemic threatens the future of the eurozone by creating huge economic divisions between its 19-member states during what is expected to be the deepest recession since the Great Depression, the European commission has warned.
The EUâs economic commissioner, Paolo Gentiloni , said there was an urgent need to mitigate the inevitable exacerbation of existing social and economic fissures, as countries emerge at different speeds from the unprecedented economic downturn.
The economic output of the eurozone is likely to shrink by a record 7.75% in 2020 and rebound by just 6.25% in 2021, with unemployment rising from 7.5% in 2019 to 9.5%.
Gentiloni said economic activity in the EU as a whole had âdropped by around one-third practically overnightâ owing to the lockdowns imposed by European governments.
More than 1.1 million people have contracted the virus across Europe and more than 137,000 have died, according to the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC).
Sweden nears 3,000 deaths from coronavirus
Swedish officials said the country, which has taken a softer approach to curbing the spread of the coronavirus, was nearing 3,000 deaths from Covid-19.
The countryâs Public Health Agency reported that a total of 23,918 cases had been confirmed and 2,941 deaths had been recorded, an increase of 87 deaths from the day before.
âWe are starting to near 3,000 deceased, a horrifyingly large number,â state epidemiologist Anders Tegnell told a press conference.
Sweden has not imposed the kind of extraordinary lockdowns seen elsewhere in Europe, instead opting for an approach based on the âprinciple of responsibilityâ.
The Scandinavian country has allowed schools for under-16s, cafes, bars, restaurants and businesses to stay open while urging people and businesses to respect social distancing guidelines.
The Swedish approach has received criticism both domestically and internationally as its death toll has leapt much higher than its Nordic neighbours, which have all instituted more restrictive containment measures.
Swedenâs virus death rate of 291 per million inhabitants is far higher than Norwayâs death rate of 40 per million, Denmarkâs rate of 87, or Finlandâs rate of 45.
In the United States , which has suffered the most coronavirus deaths, the toll per million inhabitants is lower than Swedenâs at 219.
Wow Sweden is really committing itself to providing the worldâs scientists with a control group.

Pretty sure its not covid. She didnât have a try cough or fever. We had a similar episode early in January when you had to be hospitalized. I think her COPD is just getting really bad.
And weâve been super quarantined since late February. Only interactions were getting groceries with masks and gloves. I mean its possible we got it from handling bags and food but I think its unlikely.
Thank you. Last time I showed her the love she got on here it made her very happy.
Main concern is her getting it there.

The crazy part about people like HNH is even when the Trump Administration says we will have 3K deaths a day, heâs like âNah.â It really is a cult.
Sweden currently has greater restrictions than most of the US. We are the control group.

More than half of workers at US meat plant test positive
More than half the workforce at a US meat processing plant have tested positive for the coronavirus, officials have revealed.
Some 730 employees at Tyson Foods in Perry, Iowa, representing 58% of staff, have contracted the virus, the Iowa Department of Public Health told a daily news conference.
Tysonâs plant at Perry was one of 22 US meat factories across the US Midwest that temporarily closed in April. A company spokesman told the Des Moines Register that it had undergone a âdeep cleaningâ before reopening.
US meat processing plants have come under close scrutiny during the pandemic. Late last month, US President Donald Trump ordered them to stay open to protect the nationâs food supply. At that time, an estimated 3,300 US meatpacking workers had been diagnosed with coronavirus and 20 had died.
Last month, we told you about the oubreak at the Smithfield pork plant in South Dakota, where more than 600 cases had been confirmed.
Not sure what this meansâŚother than âlook outâ CR for next wave
Mass test reveals very few Czechs exposed to virus
The Czech authorities say the results of a mass antibody study carried out on 23 April has revealed a tiny proportion of the population has so far been exposed to Covid-19.
Of 26,549 people tested in eight locations across the country, just 107 tested positive for antibodies in the serological test.
The authorities have not given a single nationwide result in percentage terms, rather a range for each testing location (Prague, Brno, Olomouc and several smaller towns). Nowhere does the number exceed 5%. In Prague, the figure was 1.48%.
As of Wednesday morning, the number of confirmed infections is 7,899. Some 295 people are in hospital. Some 4,017 have recovered, and 258 have died.
The Czech numbers are amongst the lowest in Europe, and the government says this is due to one of the first lockdowns introduced in the EU. The country is now slowly lifting restrictions, and is still reporting an R number of 0.7%.
Our old person homes are getting slammed, ~80% of the deaths are people from them. One unit a few miles from me is responsible for like 10% of the deaths in the state.
Iâll argue that they were too specific in the people they wanted to test. If you only permit people who have never had any symptoms and never knowingly had contact with anybody with covid19, then of course itâll be low. Itâs also likely that the people who volunteered to get tested were more informed and thus more cautious given that they actually knew this thing was going to happen.
When you factor in that the CR was one of the first countries in Europe to fully lock down and the first to mandate masks, itâs no surprise that it has not spread far.
That said, pretty much every Czech epidemiologist has said itâs not a matter of if but when regarding a second outbreak. Thatâs pretty much the case for probably the entire world.
