Forbes releases list of 50 new billionaires in healthcare – 34 of them from China

 

Nearly a year after the first case of Covid-19 was reported in the Chinese city of Wuhan in December 2019, a host of new billionaires who have emerged in 2020, their fortunes propelled by a stock market surge as investors flocked to companies involved in the development of vaccines, treatments, medical devices and everything in between.

 

On December 23, 2020, Forbes found 50 new billionaires in the healthcare sector.

 

The new moguls hail from 11 different countries, but the majority live in China, the early epicenter of Covid-19, which is now home to nearly three dozen new healthcare billionaires.

 

Chief among them is Hu Kun, the chairman of medical device manufacturer Contec Medical Systems, which went public on the Shenzhen stock exchange in August. Contec’s shares have risen nearly 150% since the IPO on the back of strong overseas sales of products ranging from pulse oximeters to pulmonary devices used for checking lung conditions, all of which have become more necessary with the spread of Covid-19 throughout the globe.

 

The bloody reality in front of human beings: on the one hand, there are countless deaths, broken families, and a shattered livelihood and economy; on the other hand, there is the feast of capital, one’s meat is another’s poison.

 

However, I do not want to criticize people who have gained legitimate wealth as a result of the CCP virus pandemic. On the contrary, their contribution to help humanity is greatly appreciated.

 

What I want to ask is, where does the virus come from? How can it be eradicated? Does the vaccine cause secondary damage? And, is it just a coincidence that so many Chinese people have gained great wealth as a result?

Authorities are continuing to investigate following a mysterious explosion that occurred in the city’s downtown area on Christmas morning, damaging dozens of businesses. Police responded to the sound of gunfire ahead of the blast and heard a loudspeaker warning to evacuate the area prior to the explosion.

 

“This morning, around 5:30 a.m., officers responded to a call for shots fired in the downtown area, specifically 2nd and near Commerce. As officers responded, they encountered an RV that had a recording saying that a potential bomb would detonate within 15 minutes,” Nashville Police Chief John Drake said, providing an update.

 

“Officers, upon hearing that, decided to evacuate the buildings nearby. So, they began knocking on doors, making announcements, having emergency communications communicate with everyone to get people safe,” he continued.

 

“Shortly after that, the RV exploded,” he said. “We had one officer that was knocked to the ground. Another officer is fine”:

Colombian Crime Reporter Dies of Gunshot Wounds

 

A Colombian reporter who covered organized crime died on Wednesday after being shot multiple times two days before, his outlet Q’hubo tweeted.

 

Guevara's beat, Cali is still plagued by violence, drug trafficking and organized crime. (Source:Wikimedia Commons)Guevara's beat, Cali, is still plagued by violence, drug trafficking and organized crime. (Source:Wikimedia Commons)Unknown assassins shot Felipe Guevara, 27, on Monday night in Cali, a city in southwestern Colombia, which was once home to the infamous Cali Cartel. At its height in the 1990’s, the group was one of the most powerful criminal organizations in the world.

 

Though the Cali Cartel is now defunct, the city is still plagued by violence, drug trafficking and organized crime. That was the world Guevara covered.

 

According to FLIP, a Colombian NGO that advocates for press freedom in the Latin American country, Guevara had since 2017 repeatedly reported to police that he was receiving death threats due to his work.

 

The group said that the lack of police response to Guevara’s past death threats leads them to suspect that proper investigation won’t be conducted.

 

“FLIP calls on the authorities to carry out a serious, impartial and diligent investigation” the NGO said.

 

However, Guevara’s death was only the latest in a year that saw the number of journalists murdered for their work double compared to 2019, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

 

At least 30 journalists were killed in 2020, CPJ reported. In at least 21 of the murders there was clear connection to the reporter’s work. CPJ is still investigating another 15 cases to establish whether or not journalism was the motive.

 

In addition to Guevara’s death in Colombia, elsewhere in Latin America four journalists were killed in Mexico and two in Honduras.

 

According to CPJ, organized criminal groups were the most frequent killers of journalists, whIle politics was the most dangerous beat.

==U.S. troops would enforce peace under Army study=

 

The Washington Times - Monday, September 10, 2001

 

An elite U.S. Army study center has devised a plan for enforcing a major Israeli-Palestinian peace accord that would require about 20,000 well-armed troops stationed throughout Israel and a newly created Palestinian state.

 

There are no plans by the Bush administration to put American soldiers into the Middle East to police an agreement forged by the longtime warring parties. In fact, Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld is searching for ways to reduce U.S. peacekeeping efforts abroad, rather than increasing such missions.

 

But a 68-page paper by the Army School of Advanced Military Studies (SAMS) does provide a look at the daunting task any international peacekeeping force would face if the United Nations authorized it, and Israel and the Palestinians ever reached a peace agreement.

 

Located at Fort Leavenworth, Kan., the School for Advanced Military Studies is both a training ground and a think tank for some of the Army's brightest officers. Officials say the Army chief of staff, and sometimes the Joint Chiefs of Staff, ask SAMS to develop contingency plans for future military operations. During the 1991 Persian Gulf war, SAMS personnel helped plan the coalition ground attack that avoided a strike up the middle of Iraqi positions and instead executed a "left hook" that routed the enemy in 100 hours.

 

The cover page for the recent SAMS project said it was done for the Joint Chiefs of Staff. But Maj. Chris Garver, a Fort Leavenworth spokesman, said the study was not requested by Washington.

 

"This was just an academic exercise," said Maj. Garver. "They were trying to take a current situation and get some training out of it."

 

The exercise was done by 60 officers dubbed "Jedi Knights," as all second-year SAMS students are nicknamed.

 

The SAMS paper attempts to predict events in the first year of a peace-enforcement operation, and sees possible dangers for U.S. troops from both sides.

 

It calls Israel's armed forces a "500-pound gorilla in Israel. Well armed and trained. Operates in both Gaza . Known to disregard international law to accomplish mission. Very unlikely to fire on American forces. Fratricide a concern especially in air space management."

 

Of the Mossad, the Israeli intelligence service, the SAMS officers say: "Wildcard. Ruthless and cunning. Has capability to target U.S. forces and make it look like a Palestinian/Arab act."

 

On the Palestinian side, the paper describes their youth as "loose cannons; under no control, sometimes violent." The study lists five Arab terrorist groups that could target American troops for assassination and hostage-taking.

Call for mandatory vaccines for Australian workers

 

Ahead of the promised rollout of the COVID-19 vaccine, there are calls to make the jab mandatory for workers.

Peter Strong, CEO of Council of Small Business Organisations Australia, said business owners were worried.

 

"If someone declines the vaccine, what are my rights as an employer, where do I stand?" he said.

 

The federal government has promised a free vaccine for all Australians, but it will remain voluntary.

 

Chief Medical Officer Professor Paul Kelly said there would be "very strong" campaigns.

 

"I'm open to all options to ensure we get the strongest possible take-up," Prime Minister Scott Morrison said.

 

The rollout is likely to start in March, but the vaccine is unlikely to be widely available until the end of next year.
