BEIRUT (AP) — A Palestinian woman from Syria has become the first refugee living in a camp in Lebanon to test positive for the coronavirus, the U.N. agency for Palestinian refugees said Wednesday. It triggered a spate of testing to determine whether other residents have been infected.
Sad to say but this is only the beginning. Refugee camps with poor medical services, rudimentary public health protocols, limited waste management…kind of like a petri dish for COVID-19.
These people are screwed. The West is in no mood to help and the rich Gulf princes idea of charity is paying millions to footballers in Europe. The Saudis just this week bought Newcastle United, and if history is any guide they would burn through billions, like Abu Dhabi’s princes did with Manchester City or Qatar’s with Paris Saint-Germain.
Those Persian Gulf royals are the world biggest parasites and should be given the Robespierre treatment, maybe they can use half-moon shaped blades in the guillotines.
“The first refugee living in a camp” but not the first recorded case globally.
