Trump: “China let out the epidemic”
US President Donald Trump has again blamed China for the spread of the virus. “The Chinese should have stopped it at their border, they should never have allowed it to spread all over the world,” Trump said at the White House. The 200,000 dead are “terrible”. Without the crisis management of his government, the United States would have “two million, two and a half million and three million” dead. “We have saved millions of lives,” Trump said during a campaign appearance in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
“You let out the plague,” the president added, referring to China. “It is the China virus, not the coronavirus. Corona sounds like a place in Italy, a beautiful place. It’s Corona. “

The most important of the night
Good Morning! We welcome you to our live ticker for the latest news on the crown crisis. The most important news of the night:
In Saudi Arabia, the holy sites of Mecca and Medina are preparing to welcome Muslim pilgrims again. Umrah, the most important Islamic pilgrimage after Hajj, will be possible again from October 4 after a seven-month hiatus in Corona, the Interior Ministry said. Initially, only 6000 pilgrims per day will be admitted to the Great Mosque of Mecca, then the number will be increased to 15,000.
Since the start of the corona pandemic, more than 200,000 people have died in the United States after being infected with the virus. That comes from data from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. In no other country in the world are so many deaths from corona known.
In a large overall study, researchers from the University of Bern determined the proportion of people infected with Covid 19 who did not develop the disease. It is, therefore, about twenty percent, as reported in the specialized journal “PLOS Medicine.” If the number of people without symptoms were high, the so-called herd immunity should be achieved soon, according to one thesis. But this is most likely not the case.
