Turkey claims success treating COVID-19 with broad use of drug touted by Trump By Pinar Sevinclidir, CBS News, April 30, 2020: Istanbul — Turkey has the biggest coronavirus outbreak in the Middle East, with more than 117,000 confirmed infections. More than 3,000 people have died. But the government claims to have a lower fatality rate than the global average estimated by the World Health Organization at over 3%. The Turkish government imposed weekend-only lockdowns and banned only those under the age of 20 and over 65 from leaving their homes during the week, in an effort to limit the economic impact of the pandemic. Turkey’s Ministry of Health says the relatively low death toll is thanks to treatment protocols in the country, which involve two existing drugs — the controversial anti-malaria drug hydroxychloroquine touted by President Trump, and Japanese antiviral favipiravir. “Doctors prescribe hydroxychloroquine to everyone who is tested positive for coronavirus” Dr. Sema Turan, a member of the Turkish government’s coronavirus advisory board, told CBS News. Hospitalized patients may be given favipiravir as well if they encounter breathing problems, she said. Turan said the combination of drugs appeared to “delay or eliminate the need for intensive care for patients.” But it’s important to note that Turkey’s use of the drug is not a clinically controlled trial; there’s no control group of patients not given the medication to compare the results against. Clinical trials have been underway in the U.S. and elsewhere, but the results aren’t yet clear. Preliminary studies on hydroxychloroquine have yielded uninspiring results thus far. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved emergency use of hydroxychloroquine for coronavirus patients, but has warned it should only be used in clinical trials or under the close observation of doctors, citing an observed risk of heart complications.

Up to 1,050 people part of group’s “hardline wing” or otherwise suspected of links to Hezbollah were arrested, detained, questioned, and hunted down by German police today as it adds Hezbollah to list of ‘terrorist’ organisations.
Police conducted early morning raids in Germany to detain suspected members of the political group, which is based in Lebanon under the leadership of Hassan Nasrallah.
Security officials believe as many as 1,050 people in Germany are part of Hezbollah’s “extremist wing”. Neither Hezbollah or Israel acknowledge the existence of separate wings. The concept was invented by European states to be able to sell weapons to the Lebanese army.
Police searched mosque associations in the western state of North Rhine-Westphalia, Bremen and Berlin which they believe are close to Hezbollah, and the private residences of the leaders of each association.
The associations under investigation are suspected of forming part of Hezbollah due to their financial support and propaganda for the organisation, said the interior ministry.
“The activities of Hezbollah violate criminal law and the organisation opposes the concept of international understanding,” it said in a statement.
The move means that Hezbollah symbols are banned at gatherings and in publications or in the media. Hezbollah assets can be confiscated, but because it is a foreign organisation, it was not possible to dissolve the group, the ministry said.
The group is already considered a “terrorist” organisation by the US, the United Kingdom, Canada, and Israel as well as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the Arab League.

By Aris Folley , The Hill, April 29, 2020:
Tesla CEO Elon Musk is urging states across the country to put an end to lockdowns aimed at preventing the spread of COVID-19.
In a series of tweets early Wednesday, Musk posted phrases like “FREE AMERICA NOW” and “Give people their freedom back” in response to the lockdowns, which have been in place throughout much of the country amid the pandemic.
As the global COVID-19 outbreak began to take hold in the United States last month, a number of governors issued stay-at-home orders requiring people to avoid unnecessary travel and large gatherings in an effort to mitigate the spread of the disease. Many states also ordered nonessential businesses to close up shop for a time as part of the directives.
Many of those orders are set to expire at the start of May as President Trump and other leaders look to boost the economy after several weeks of mass closures in much of the nation.
In one of his tweets on Wednesday, Musk cheered Texas after its governor, Republican Greg Abbott, said this week that his stay-at-home executive order would expire on Thursday.
While Texas is set to begin the first phase of its reopening process on Friday as planned, the governor said businesses will still have to adhere to occupancy limits laid out in the weeks ahead to prevent flare-ups as experts continue working to develop a vaccine for the virus.
“Bravo Texas!” Musk tweeted in response to the move.
Musk agreed in a follow-up tweet that states should “reopen with care & appropriate protection” amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but he also said leaders shouldn’t be putting “everyone under de facto house arrest.”
The comments by Musk come more than a month after he dismissed concerns about the threat posed by the coronavirus pandemic, writing in a tweet in early March: “The coronavirus panic is dumb.”
Since then, Tesla has announced pay cuts and furloughs.
In the weeks since, the U.S. has become the country with the most confirmed cases of the virus reported than any other in the world. The latest John Hopkins University data shows more than 58,000 deaths from the virus have been reported in the country as well as more 115,900 recoveries.

What is lesser known is that Senator Ted Kennedy , Democrat of Massachusetts , in 1983 secretly implored the help of the Soviets in defeating the reelection of GOP President Ronald Reagan , dispatching fellow Senator John Tunney ( D-CA ) to Moscow to relay the plea .
KGB archives confirm the incident .
Brit Hume of @ @ @ @ @ @ @ , saying , “ I think it comes down to…whether people end up believing that Trump lied and people died or more people believe China lied and people died… It just depends on which narrative people accept .
Obviously , Democrats , they ’ re going to continue to say that he [ Trump ] was responsible.
” So will China .
Thus they are at least acting with the same message as the Democrats , if not much more deeply involved with them .

What is lesser known is that Senator Ted Kennedy, Democrat of Massachusetts, in 1983 secretly implored the help of the Soviets in defeating the reelection of GOP President Ronald Reagan, dispatching fellow Senator John Tunney (D-CA) to Moscow to relay the plea. KGB archives confirm the incident.
Brit Hume of Fox News agrees on the Chinese/Democrat connection, saying, “I think it comes down to…whether people end up believing that Trump lied and people died or more people believe China lied and people died… It just depends on which narrative people accept. Obviously, Democrats, they’re going to continue to say that he [Trump] was responsible.” So will China. Thus they are at least acting with the same message as the Democrats, if not much more deeply involved with them.

While New York has weathered the brunt of coronavirus infections and deaths, the state’s apparent hoarding of medical supplies, and the millions spent on equipment that never arrived, as well as unused hospitals and beds, have some questioning what went wrong.

The Food and Drug Administration has granted emergency use authorization for Gilead’s remdesivir drug to treat the coronavirus, President Donald Trump announced Friday.
Trump made the announcement in the oval office alongside Gilead CEO Daniel O’Day.
The EUA means that remdesivir has not undergone the same level of review as an FDA-approved treatment, according to an FDA fact sheet on the drug.

By Noah Biesiada and Hosam Elattar, Voice of OC, May 1, 2020:
Huntington Beach intends to sue the state after Gov. Gavin Newsom announced that he would be closing all Orange County beaches.
The Huntington Beach City Council voted 5-2 to file a lawsuit against the State of California, with Councilmembers Barbara Delgleize and Kim Carr opposing the move.
While Newport Beach did not take any action Thursday night, Councilman Kevin Muldoon suggested that the city follow Huntington Beach and sue the state, claiming that Orange County had “flattened the curve.”

“I would like to call for a special council meeting,” Muldoon said. “That would allow us to join the city of Huntington Beach, or any other Orange County cities and seek all legal means available to fight the arbitrary and unconstitutional exercise of power by the governor, that would take away control of our local beaches.
“That would essentially hand our prior decision to keep the beaches open into the trash bin.”
Earlier today, County of Orange officials downplayed any legal action, with Supervisor Don Wagner stating that he preferred to work with the state through negotiation rather than litigation.
After Huntington Beach announced they would be suing the state, Wagner said he thought this may be the first of many lawsuits in a text to Voice of OC.
“I continue to believe that the county has no legal standing to sue the state but I know lawsuits from individuals and businesses in Orange County are coming,” Wagner said. “I would hope the governor will not fight a destructive legal battle, but instead listen to local leaders, who are in close consultation with our own health care professionals.”
“I’m disappointed that the governor’s making decisions based on a few photos rather than on the reality of the situation on the ground.”
Both cities met in closed session to discuss their response to the governor’s action, with no public discussion on the items in Huntington Beach and limited comments from several Newport Beach councilmembers.
Both cities also expressed confusion over the governor’s order and what it would require from them.
At the beginning of Huntington Beach’s meeting, Mayor Lyn Semeta stated they had not received the precise language of Newsom’s order.
“We have not received any written directorate from the state regarding the governor’s announcement,” Semeta said.
Newport Beach Mayor Will O’Neill said the directive was not entirely clear in some aspects.
“What we will anticipate is that our police department and our fire department will spend significant time endeavoring to determine what the directive is calling for and will do their best job to make sure we are conducting education and to the extent the directive is clear enforcement as well,” O’Neill said.
Earlier this week on Tuesday, the city council decided to keep Newport’s beaches open with a greater police and lifeguard presence for the upcoming weekends despite Newsom’s remarks.
On Thursday, Newsom chose to only close Orange County beaches after seeing photos of Newport Beach from the past weekend, where an estimated 40,000 people came to the beach on Friday and Saturday.
“We’re going to do a hard close in that part of the state. Just in the Orange County area,” Newsom said during a news conference on Thursday. “The images we saw … were disturbing.”
Newport Beach officials insist that the photos were misleading and that city officials were enforcing social distancing on the beach.
Newport Beach Police Chief Jon Lewis and Fire Chief Jeff Boyles said a majority of the beach goers they observed on April 24, 25 and 26 were spread apart. The city shared aerial shots of the beach taken on April 25 that showed more people spread out.

Yeshiva World: Texas GOP Sen. Ted Cruz is urging the Justice Department “to closely monitor New York City” for potential religious discrimination amid the pandemic after its mayor singled out “the Jewish community” following the breakup of a large gathering of Orthodox Jews. In a letter sent Thursday to Attorney General Bill Barr, a copy of which was obtained by The Associated Press, Cruz lauded a Justice Department memo issued this week asking federal prosecutors to keep watch on state and local orders crafted to help stop the coronavirus that risk infringing on individuals’ civil liberties. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio’s chastising of Jews after a local funeral drew a crowd of thousands, Cruz added, raises questions about whether one faith “is being singled out for special burdens.” “This is dangerous in and of itself,” Cruz, who chairs the Senate Judiciary Committee’s Constitution subcommittee, wrote to Barr. “But it is especially dangerous to single out the Jewish community in a city that is experiencing a substantial rise in violent anti-Semitism.”
