Marts 2020 Søren Brostrøm: "Grænselukning var ikke i vores katalog." Kommentar til Mette Frederiksens grænselukning. 28. Juli Søren Brostrøm: "Mundbind giver ingen mening i den nuværende situation, hvor vi stadig har en meget lav smitte i Danmark." Dagen efter beretter Berlingske "Antallet af nye smittede med covid-19 i Danmark har taget et hop onsdag. Tre dage senere kommer en ny melding fra Søren Brostrøm. 31. Juli Søren Brostrøm: ”Hvis vi skal bevare kontrol med epidemien, er god afstand og rene hænder stadig vigtigt. I den kommende tid rykker vi mere sammen, fordi vi vender tilbage på arbejde og uddannelse, og den kolde tid nærmer sig. Det kan gøre det sværere at holde afstand i mange situationer, også selvom man gerne vil. Det gælder f.eks. i den kollektive trafik i myldretiden eller i tætpakkede busser, tog og færger. Derfor anbefaler vi nu, at man tager et mundbind med i tasken i de situationer, og tager det på, hvis det er svært at holde afstand,” Tjah, allerede i maj blev det anbefalet af andre: “Passengers should wear face masks in transport hubs and vehicles used for collective transport, especially where physical distancing measures cannot be fully observed at all times.” COVID-19: Guidelines on the progressive restoration of transport services and connectivity (EU Commission 13.5.2020) 5. August Statens Serum Institut (SSI): ”I uge 31 blev der påvist 494 tilfælde af COVID-19 i forhold til 247 tilfælde i uge 30, dvs. en fordobling i antallet af påviste tilfælde.” Det er især Ringsted og Aarhus, der er ramt af nye udbrud. 7. August ”Ikke alle kan bruge mundbind,” men ”de næste 14 dage [gælder], at man på alle tidspunkter i den kollektive trafik i Århus Kommune skal bruge mundbind.” (Sundhedsstyrelsen). Søren Brostrøm: ”Set i bagklogskabens klare lys burde vi nok allerede i sidste uge have fortalt, hvordan gode stofmundbind kan give beskyttelse” (Politiken). 9. August ”For at forebygge og inddæmme udbredelsen af Coronavirussygdom 2019 (COVID-19) i forbindelse med et konkret smitteudbrud i Aarhus Kommune skal rejsende, der påbegynder eller afslutter en rejse i Aarhus Kommune, have tildækket mund og næse ved brug af mundbind.” (Bekendtgørelse BEK nr 1197 af 09/08/2020). Hvad så nu? Mere ”foresight” og ”insight,” eller fortsætter Sundhedsstyrelsens direktør, Søren Brostrøm, med ”hindsight.” Se også: ”Covid-19 forebyggelse: Undgå sang og kælderskakter?” https://wahrnehmungen.weebly.com/blog/covid-19-forebyggelse-undga-sang-og-kaelderskakter ”Use face masks! – Washing hands isn’t enough against airborne virus” https://wahrnehmungen.weebly.com/blog/may-07th-2020 “Probing the unknowns of the Covid-19 pandemic” https://wahrnehmungen.weebly.com/blog/probing-the-unknowns-of-the-covid-19-pandemic “Dismal Western response to Covid-19” https://wahrnehmungen.weebly.com/blog/dismal-western-response-to-covid-19 What is going wrong with the Western response to Covid-19? https://wahrnehmungen.weebly.com/blog/march-30th-2020  In the light of the continuing flow of refugees and migrants across Mediterranean and the strange phenomenon of refugees crossing the English Channel (how can they be refugees when they arrive from the EU), it might be relevant to look again at some important issues in relation to the influx of refugees and migrants.
Misuse of conventions values and rights, the potential drastic changes in demography, the positive and negative economic impact of refugees and migrants, their impact on crime rates. Finally, there is a need to look at the problematic role of the media in relation refugees and migrants.
