Taiwan to donate 10 million masks - "Taiwan can help" campaign Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen has announced plans to donate 10 million masks to countries that have been most severely impacted by the coronavirus. On the heels of an estimated $35 billion stimulus package intended to bolster the island nation's economy, Taiwan pledges to donate masks and medical supplies to the rest of the world as part of its global "Taiwan can help" campaign. ====================================================================== EU leader, Ursula von der Leyen risks Beijing’s ire by lauding Taiwan’s of 5.6 million masks for coronavirus battle. ‘We really appreciate this gesture of solidarity,’ the European Commission’s president says in a Twitter post. ‘Acts like this show that we are Stronger Together,’ she tweets.

The disagreement over Beijing began after the Chinese insisted on having a clause in the deal stating that Prague supports the one-China principle, which does not recognize Taiwan. In reaction to Prague's decision to ink a deal with Taipei, China canceled the tours of several Prague classical music ensembles and orchestras.

The signing comes three months after Prague revoked a similar sister-city agreement with Beijing, an action that angered China. ==================================================================== The Spanish newspaper El País reported that microbiologists found that tests it bought from a Chinese company called Bioeasy could correctly identify virus cases only 30% of the time. Delays from implementing the new test will further harm Spain's efforts to contain the virus, which had killed more than 4,000 people in the country. Medical professionals in the Czech Republic have also said that rapid tests from China were not working properly. ===================================================================== Trump claims ‘very large scale’ testing for Coronavirus. Experts and Trump’s advisers doubt the accuracy of the task force’s projection that 240,000 deaths are possible in the U.S., because it has not provided the underlying data so others can assess its reliability. ===================================================================== Covid-19 cases top 1 million and death toll passes 50,000 ... All of this pandemic spreading started from Wuhan city, China to the world 182 countries. Who to blame? You know that, I know that.   Honesty is the best policy. |

When I was in Italy for 36 days (Oct 15 to Nov 19 in 20'18 ), Italy was a clean, quiet, and happy country. I enjoyed the idyllic scenery of Tuscany and Umbria in the center of Italy, the historic Rome city, Catholic Vatican city, and south island of Sicily. Now you can't travel over there because the Coronavirus pandemic spreading. Italians like to hug, kissing, they have big family and are very religious Catholic. Italy was struggling in debt for few years, so they cut off the healthcare professionals, i.e. MD, nurses, hospital beds, ICU, .... now they are in trouble of this Coronavirus as the result. Honesty is the best policy.
