Shoppers pass through a new disinfectant door to enter an Intermarché supermarket in France.
The disinfectant door has been installed as a "test" since the beginning of September in the Intermarché supermarket in Monastier-sur-Gazeille, Haute-Loire (Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes).

Shoppers who choose to pass through the door to enter the supermarket are misted with a disinfectant spray.

Store manager David Accaries told France 3 the door was installed to make sure customers felt safe when visiting the supermarket. He said that in the wake of the Covid-19 crisis: "People were afraid, they were panicking. We didn't know if we had to wear masks, we didn't know what was going on. It was total uncertainty. We had a very difficult time."

Comment: Nuking all bacteria, including those that are beneficial to our immune system, will make many more people more susceptible to illness. This has been proven throughout a plethora of studies, such as children growing up in homes where excessive amounts of cleaning products are used as well in adults who were prescribed numerous antibiotics as children.

Meanwhile, also in France, Macron demonstrates how to wear a mask:

In Europe, 1 in 8 deaths linked to pollution: report

pollution
The EU's environment agency has detailed how environmental pollution has a deadly impact on Europe's population. Poorer and marginalized communities suffer the worst of it, according to the report.

The European Environment Agency (EEA) said in a report published Tuesday that 13% of deaths in Europe were the result of environmental pollution. The Copenhagen-based agency said environmental pollution caused more than 400,000 premature deaths in the EU per year.

"There is a clear link between the state of the environment and the health of our population," said EU Environment Commissioner Virginijus Sinkevicius.

The report said the novel coronavirus pandemic had shown how vulnerable Europe's population was to "human health and ecosystem health." It noted that vulnerable populations, including children and the elderly, were at most risk of succumbing to environmental pollution.

Social gatherings of more than six people will be illegal in England from Monday as the Government seeks to curb the rise in coronavirus cases.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson will use a press conference on Wednesday to announce the change in the law after the number of daily positive Covid-19 cases in the UK rose to almost 3,000.

The legal limit on social gatherings will be reduced from 30 people to six. It will apply to gatherings indoors and outdoors - including private homes, as well as parks, pubs and restaurants.

Gatherings of more than six people will be allowed where the household or support bubble is larger than six, or where the gathering is for work or education purposes.

Exemptions will also apply for weddings, funerals and organised team sports in a Covid-secure way.

Comment: Now it's all about 'cases' and a perfect cover to continue with the dismantling of any freedoms you migh have remaining. See also:

Authoritarian idiot Andrew Cuomo says Trump caused coronavirus outbreak in New York

Andrew Cuomo
New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said Tuesday that President Trump caused the pandemic destruction in New York by failing to block travel from Europe earlier.

"Donald Trump caused the COVID outbreak in New York. That is a fact," Cuomo said.

Cuomo added that the viral strain that hit New York, the first epicenter of the virus in the United States, came from Europe with millions of travelers to New York long before Trump's March travel ban.

"It was not the 'China virus.' It was the European virus that came to New York," Cuomo said. "And then 3 million Europeans got on the plane and came to New York, and they brought the virus. January, they brought the virus. February, they brought the virus. March, they brought the virus."


Comment: But it was Cuomo (along with NYC Mayor deBlasio) that went full retard with their idiotic lockdown, despite many of the facts that came out about the virus months ago.

No Cuomo, you're not going to get away with blaming Trump for your ignorance, your power trips, and your egregious errors in judgment that have negatively impacted the lives of millions.


Comment: 33,000 numbered dead is likely a vast inflation of the real numbers considering that hospitals were financially incentivized to call so many deaths "due to Covid-19".

Two Myanmar soldiers taken to the Hague after confessing to Rohingya killings - reports

"This demonstrates that Canada's tendency to apply double standards when it comes to Israel is very unpopular with Canadians," IJV's National Coordinator Corey Balsam
Two Myanmar soldiers have been taken to The Hague after confessing to murdering minority Rohingya Muslims during a 2017 crackdown, two news organisations and a rights group reported on Tuesday.

The two men admitted to killing dozens of villagers in northern Rakhine state and burying them in mass graves, according to the New York Times, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and the non-profit Fortify Rights, citing statements the men made on videos filmed in Myanmar this year.

Reuters has not seen the videos cited by the news organisations. The New York Times said it could not independently confirm that the two soldiers committed the crimes to which they confessed.

UK gov concerned people aren't taking 'harmless' coronavirus seriously

Coronavirus a 'continuing threat' that could surge again in UK, Jonathan Van-Tam warns

Infections among young people will filter through to older, more vulnerable contacts, says deputy CMO

Coronavirus cases are surging again in the UK because "people have relaxed too much", the deputy chief medical officer has warned.

Professor Jonathan Van-Tam said the British public should start taking the pandemic "very seriously again" or face a "bumpy ride over the next few months".

He described the rise in cases to nearly 3,000 per day - predominantly among those aged 17 to 21 - as "a signal we have got to change this now".


Comment: Rising cases that are overwhelmingly asymptomatic is hardly anything for people to worry about. If these cases were hospitalizations and deaths, you can be sure the government would let us know.


Comment: So it's not yet a problem but there's a risk? Is it any wonder that even mainstream voices are decrying the lockdowns as a HUGE mistake.

RT reports:
Last week, the health secretary sounded more optimistic. The test-and-trace system, as well as other responses to the pandemic, were now "so good that the country could avoid a major resurgence in cases of the virus, as seen in countries such as France and Spain," Hancock predicted.

Promoting the government's planned new trial of mass weekly testing on a population-wide level, Hancock said that he remained "very worried" about an upsurge in cases, but the country was "in a better position than some."


Testing the population will rather predictably result in an 'upsurge' in 'confirmed' cases.


Britain has been gradually easing a relatively strict lockdown since early July, opening pubs, restaurants, shops and gyms, if social distancing is being observed.

Black farmers file suit against Monsanto seeking to block sale of Roundup

The National Black Farmers Association filed on Wednesday a federal lawsuit to block Creve Coeur-based agribusiness giant Monsanto and its German parent company, Bayer, from selling the weedkiller Roundup.

The suit alleges that Black farmers across the country have been forced to use Roundup-resistant seeds and Roundup in increasingly heavier applications, and that Monsanto failed to inform the farmers of the weedkiller's risks.

"The cycle can only be broken by removing the product from the market," Chris Schnieders, a partner at Napoli & Shkolnik in Kansas City and one of the attorneys who filed suit, said at a Wednesday press conference.

In June, Bayer agreed to pay more than $10 billion to settle tens of thousands of claims that Roundup causes cancer, but wouldn't agree to stop selling the product, or add warning labels.

Netherlands refuses to mandate face masks; Sweden says they are 'pointless'

The Netherlands has decided not to mandate the wearing of face masks in public, citing the fact that there is no scientific evidence to suggest they are effective against the spread of the coronavirus.

"From a medical perspective there is no proven effectiveness of masks, the Cabinet has decided that there will be no national obligation for wearing non-medical masks" announced Netherlands Minister for Medical Care Tamara van Ark.

The country's National Institute for Health (RIVM) noted that it is aware of studies from other countries that purport to show masks slow the spread of disease, but will not be heeding them.

Indeed, RIVM chief Jaap van Dissel warned that wearing masks incorrectly, in addition to the effect masks have of eroding the perceived need for social distancing, could increase the risk of transmission because of a "false sense of security". "So we think that if you're going to use masks (in a public setting) ... then you must give good training for it," he said.

Comment: A couple of countries were able to come to logical decisions and opt in favor of the public rather than bow to pressure from a faulty and misleading medical agenda.

Indonesia: Mask rules violators forced to sit in hearse next to Covid-19 casket and reflect on misdeeds

An anti-coronavirus task force in Indonesia has punished people who wouldn't wear face masks at a country market by forcing them inside a hearse containing a Covid-19 victim casket, local media reported.

The unusual disciplinary action was taken at the Maron Market in the Probolinggo municipality in Indonesia's East Java province. Some 50 violators, both shop owners and their clients, took turns spending about three minutes each inside the hearse.

The people had to sit in shame next to a casket and reflect on their actions and how the coronavirus may affect their families. The grim object is used to transport the bodies of people who died from Covid-19, but presumably was empty at the time. The casket was sterilized before the session while the violators were given face masks before entering the vehicle, according to local news website kompas.com.


Comment: An extreme (but creative?) form of retribution 're-hearsed' over and over!
