U.S. President Donald Trump s consistent act of blaming China for the coronavirus pandemic is a waste of time and energy, said Charles R. Stith, the former U.S. ambassador to Tanzania and non-executive chairman of the Johannesburg-based African Presidential Leadership Centre, in an opinion article published by South China Morning Post on Dec. 14.
Trump s continuous act of blaming China for the pandemic and the chaos that followed is a non-starter, and in the best case, it is merely a waste of time. At worst, it is a distraction that prevents us from dealing with root issues relative to Covid-19 and getting started on a serious global economic recovery, Stith said.

Washington - A recent study conducted with collaborators from the University of Vermont and Cedars-Sinai describes the performance of Biocogniv s new AI-COVID software.
The team found high accuracy in predicting the probability of COVID-19 infection using routine blood tests, which can help hospitals reduce the number of patients referred for scarce PCR testing.
Their study in the Journal of Medical Internet Research is available online. Nine months into this pandemic, we now have a better understanding of how to care for patients with COVID-19, said lead author and University of Vermont Assistant Professor Timothy Plante, M.D., M.H.S., but there s still a big bottleneck in COVID-19 diagnosis with PCR testing.

HONG KONG, Dec. 16 (Xinhua) The act of U.S. President Donald Trump to continue blaming China for the coronavirus pandemic is a waste of time and energy, Charles R. Stith, non-executive chairman of the Johannesburg-based African Presidential Leadership Center, has said.
In his opinion article published Monday by South China Morning Post, Stith said Trump has already tried blaming China for the pandemic and the chaos that followed. To continue down this road is, at best, a waste of time. At worst, it is a distraction that prevents us from dealing with root issues relative to COVID-19 and getting started on a serious global economic recovery.
