«Lockdown and all-related measures – the latter if adopted for prolonged and indefinite periods of time, well beyond the health emergency phase, so as to risk distorting the very essence of societies, and this is the case – are a crime against humanity as they constitute the crimes of imprisonment, torture and are acts causing great suffering to mental and physical health (section 7 of the Rome Statute)».
This is one of the most disruptive sentences of the explosive complaint signed by the Italian magistrate Angelo Giorgianni and sent yesterday, Wednesday 24 March, to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) Ms Fatou Bensouda.

MONTREAL – A 16-year-old has died of COVID-19 complications at Sainte-Justine Hospital in Montreal, becoming the virus’s youngest fatality in Quebec.
In a statement to CityNews, the hospital says that generally, a young person who dies of COVID-19 would have had significant comorbidities, which are often chronic or long-term conditions.
“It’s incredibly tragic. I think it speaks to the virus and its virulence. I think people think that if they’re young, they’re immune to it, that they’re safe from it, and that’s not the case,” said Pravital Baral, an epidemiologist at the John’s Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health.
“Then, developing good risk scenario planning capabilities - this is important to be able to establish the plausible impact on people operations and finances to underpin future investments in risk management and resilience going forward.”
Klint added that communicating with stakeholders is also key, engaging with customers and monitoring how their wishes and buying patterns might have changed, both in real-time and as a result of the pandemic. Relevance and keeping an eye on liquidity due to business interruption are also important.
Joint responsibilities
More broadly speaking, Mullen said that insurers too have the responsibility to spark change.
“Insurance companies should ask governments to have and also to see what type of epidemic or pandemic preparedness plans they have in place,” she said.
