First Case Of COVID-19 Transmitted Via Dead Person Reported

Well, this is anything but good news. Every day we find out some new fact about the Coronavirus, as scientists are just learning about the deadly strain themselves. COVID-19 has become a global pandemic, the first of its kind in our modern history, and while we make a worldwide effort to flatten the curve, this little virus is doing all it can to hold on to any type of human life form.

The latest appalling news about the Coronavirus comes from a Buzzfeed News report. Apparently, there has been documentation of the disease jumping from an infected dead person to the medical examiner inspecting said dead person, out in Thailand. This is the first time we’ve heard about the disease jumping from a dead person.

“This is the first report on COVID-19 infection and death among medical personnel in a Forensic Medicine unit,” the Journal of Forensic and Legal Medicine said in a study released on Sunday.

The authors of the study added, “The disinfection procedure used in operation rooms might be applied in pathology/forensic units too…At present, there is no data on the exact number of COVID-19 contaminated corpses since it is not a routine practice to examine for COVID-19 in dead bodies in Thailand.”

Other diseases that can pose a risk even in a dead person include Ebola, hepatitis, tuberculosis, and cholera.

In response to this report, the health policy expert Summer Johnson McGee of the University of New Haven told BuzzFeed News: “Anyone coming into contact with a COVID19 positive body, alive or dead, should be using personal protective equipment to prevent exposure.”

The song is not only about disappointment, but also a rallying cry of resilience in the face of adversity.

NNORDY steps into jazz fusion with latest release “Wrong Turn”

NNORDY’s latest release, “Wrong Turn” is a fully live jazz fusion album that showcases the limitless possibilities of instrumental storytelling with the remarkable chemistry between guitar, keyboards, bass, and drums. The song has no words but is an excellent story told through musicianship and sets the stage for listeners to embark on a rich jazz experience.

“Wrong Turn” shows the strength of live performance from the get-go. Each instrument feels alive and in conversation with the others, a dynamic dialogue that develops organically over the course of the piece. Without vocal guidance, each musical phrase is left to speak for itself, giving the listener the freedom to interpret the track in their own way.

The guitar and keyboards often lead, crafting complex melodic lines and textures that give the music direction and atmosphere. Meanwhile, the bass and drums lay down a solid rhythmic base, creating movement and momentum while still leaving a lot of room for exploration. NNORDY creates a track that both dedicated jazz fans and listeners looking for something adventurous and fresh will enjoy. “Wrong Turn” shows that instrumental music can be as expressive and compelling as vocal music.
