Chinese state television 's announcement this week sounded whimsical: "Minimize the purchase of overseas goods from countries with a high incidence," the CCTV website reads.
And if so, it went on to say, packages and envelopes should be opened outdoors if possible and the recipients should definitely wear masks and gloves. In short: There is a warning about postal items as a potential way of spreading the coronavirus.
British Prime Minister Boris Johnson launched a counterattack. After a disastrous week in which he only half-heartedly apologized for parties in Downing Street during lockdown and growing calls for his resignation, the Prime Minister is fighting for his future.
This weekend the British media was filled with a program in which he pursued his tried-and-true strategy in times of crisis: firing the guilty and promising a golden future with bombastic announcements. In this way, the voters should forget the disasters of the past.
In the absurd match that is currently being played around Serbian tennis star Novak Djokovic, there could be losers in particular. For a good week, Tennis Australia, the state government in Victoria and the border authorities blamed each other for who was responsible for the debacle.
Djokovic himself, whom Australians now also call "NoVac", can no longer win, even if he is allowed to stay, according to his unclear information about trips and his positive PCR test. At the moment it seems that only one politician can score in the end: Scott Morrison, the Conservative Prime Minister who wants to be re-elected in 2022.

Research by South African scientists has shown that the data suggest that this new type of corona may be somewhat invasive against the body's immune system against the disease.
In fact, researchers have seen an increase in the number of people in South Africa who have been infected with Covid-19 for the second time or more.
Researchers from the foreign news agency 'AP' South Africa had identified Omicron a few days ago and there is not much information about it yet. It is too early to say whether the virus is contagious.
It is believed that the news of the spread of Omicron virus is spreading rapidly and many countries are hesitant as to what strategy they should adopt while Corona virus has so far killed more than 5 million people.
Now the possible answer to this question has come to light.
