Tell all this to the family of my former classmate, Chuck L. He was a non vaxer, chronicled on Facebook his battle with Covid until the day he was intubated. He passed away 2 days later. 😢

The hospitals are killing people with the fake treatments they are told to use.. remdesivir has a very high mortality rate along with the ventilator.. stay away from hospitals at all cost..

In mid-January of 2020 I was reading every article I could find on this new, highly infectious respiratory virus from the Hubei province of China. One article spoke of the infection rate and opined that once this virus reached third world nations with little or no health care infrastructure it would be devastating. Bodies in the street kind of death rate. But, you never heard peep about it because most third world nations with no health care infrastructure were already prescribing Hydroxychloroquine on a mass scale as prophylaxis against malaria and other similar diseases. Amazing that our vaunted bureaucrats in the CDC and NIH have never addressed this situation, yet have mocked anyone who dares to question the state-approved treatment of Covid-19.

The ministry's spokesman, Raad al-Mashhadani told Al-Furat News that "the ministry supports the project of the Ministries of Education and Higher Education in the electronic study, by providing electronic platforms with additional capacities."
He added, "The cadres are fully prepared to provide all additional services to the Ministries of Education in the event that the two ministries request any other additional capacities from them."
Al-Shamdani affirmed "the ministry's readiness to provide all additional capacities to improve Internet services throughout the country."
The Ministry of Health had commented, through its spokesman, Haider Farouk (for Al Furat News), on the transition from attendance to electronic work after the developments of the new mutation.
Farouk said, "The educational process is continuing and will not talk about the issue of moving to e-education unless we receive an order from the higher authorities regarding it, and that all that is being proposed now is to confuse the Iraqi society from rumors of curfews and the suspension of attendance, and we do not deal with decisions based on maybe and will and others".
Farouk referred to dealing according to existing data and decisions issued by the higher authorities, stressing that the ministry is ready in all cases and has been placed within its electronic study plans, and it can be dealt with according to all plans.
In a statement, the Ministry of Health urged all universities and schools to cooperate with our ministry to ensure the implementation of the decisions of the Supreme Committee for National Health and Safety to ensure the flow of work and preserve the health of students and faculty.
For his part, the Director of the Public Health Department in the Ministry of Health, Riyad Abdul-Amir Al-Halfi, announced that the ministry will re-work the closure procedures and prevent travel and apply preventive steps, in the event of the emergence of the new mutant of the Corona epidemic called “Omicron”, which received preliminary information regarding the speed of its spread and the severity of its infection.
Al-Halfi indicated in a press statement that the ministry will resort to adopting the previous measures and social distancing and taking the vaccine to prevent the new mutant (Omicron), stressing that all measures are taken to prevent the entry of the Corona strain known as the South African mutant (Omicron), because it is highly contagious and rapidly spreading. 
He pointed out that there are no guarantees that the mutated virus will not be transmitted to Iraq, so it is necessary to prepare for this possibility and to diagnose the strain and its type in laboratories.

Adviser to Al-Kazemi: The closure cannot be returned as the beginning of Corona, and the 2022 budget was calculated for surprises
  
{Economist: Al-Furat News} A financial advisor to Prime Minister Mustafa Al-Kazemi ruled out the return of the closure and strict preventive measures, with the increasing emergence of cases of the new mutation of the Corona virus (Omkron) in several countries in the world that have taken measures to close and ban travel.

Mazhar Muhammad Salih told {Euphrates News}: “The closure of 2020 due to the outbreak of Corona led to a global recession and major economic problems, and we may witness partial slippages, but the main goal is for the energy markets to calm down due to the partial closure,” stressing, “We should not be optimistic about oil prices as well.” .
He pointed out that "the economic caveats still exist, and that the draft budget law for the year 2022 set the price of 50 dollars per barrel in anticipation of the existence of economic surprises that may occur due to the Corona pandemic."
Saleh added, "Energy markets can never be determined because they are subject to changes, and despite the spread of a new strain of the virus, the world cannot be closed as it happened in the year 2020, because the world underwent a previous experience."

Yes, I have already made a request to all of my family to not place me in a hospital if it looks anything like Covid. The mere diagnosis seems to initiate this same old fix over and over and over, even though it isn’t that effective. Usually as time goes on they find other treatments if that one isn’t working. Apparently not this time. The only treatment now is “Da Vax”. I’d rather die in my own bed then die in the hospital. Friend of mine pulled her intubator out over night first night in the hospital in her sleep. The doctor walks in the next morning and asks her if she is feeling better, she told him “Yes,thank you!”. He released her. Story sounded so stupid, I dicided them and there,  not for me.

Shafaq News/ Oil prices rose on Tuesday, after rebounding close to 5 percent the previous day as concerns eased about the impact of the Omicron variable on global demand for fuel.

 

Brent crude futures rose 62 cents, or 0.85 percent, to $73.70 a barrel at 05:24 GMT, after settling up 4.6 percent on Monday. US West Texas Intermediate crude was at $70.28 a barrel, up 70 cents, based on a 4.9% gain in the previous session.

Oil prices fell last week due to fears that vaccines may be less effective against the novel coronavirus variant, Omicron, sparking fears that governments may re-impose restrictions to limit its spread and harm global growth and oil demand.

However, a South African health official reported over the weekend that Omicron's cases there had only shown mild symptoms, and US infectious disease official Anthony Fauci told CNN "there doesn't seem to be a significant degree of severity" yet.

In another sign of confidence in oil demand, Saudi Arabia, the world's largest exporter, raised monthly crude prices on Sunday, after the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and its allies, in a group known as OPEC +, agreed to continue increasing production by 400,000 barrels. daily in January despite the release of US Strategic Petroleum Reserves.

Information/Baghdad.

Oil prices fell today, heading towards a weekly loss, with the increase in infections with the new Omicron mutant from the Corona virus, which reinforced fears of imposing new restrictions that may negatively affect the demand for fuel.

 

By 07:07 GMT, Brent crude futures fell by 0.8 percent to $74.43 a barrel. West Texas Intermediate crude futures fell 0.9 percent to $71.71 a barrel.

 

Brent is heading towards a loss of one percent this week, while it appears that West Texas Intermediate crude will end the week stable.

 

The number of Omicron infections doubled in Denmark, South Africa and the United Kingdom in just two days. On Thursday, Denmark's prime minister warned that the government could impose further restrictions to curb the Omicron outbreak.

 

In the United States, the rapid spread of the mutation has halted some companies' plans to return their employees to the workplace.

 

The “OPEC +” group said that it may meet before the scheduled date on January 4, 2022, if changes in demand expectations necessitate a review of its plan to increase supplies by 400,000 barrels per day next January.
