03 JUL 2021- (Ecuador 🐕🦺) 'Canine units specialized in detecting people with COVID-19 are preparing in Ecuador, with the support of the French Government, in a pilot project that seeks to reinforce the efforts of the health system to fight the pandemic.- 😷
"The Ministry of Health and the Secretariat for Risk Management, which are part of the Emergency Operations Committee (COE), are promoting the project, which included a workshop given by French specialists. ☣️
This ten-day course aimed to train dogs and prepare their instructors to detect people with the disease, as a containment measure and allied to the fight against the pandemic, the Health portfolio stated in a statement.
The workshop was attended by 15 teams (can and instructor) from the Armed Forces, the Ecuadorian Red Cross, the Fire Department and the National Risk Service.
In the training and preparation process, canine units have learned to recognize people who have developed the infectious process, including asymptomatic patients.
💉 "The learning technique for dogs is through play and through the sweat samples of people who have COVID-19, this guarantees that the dog does not have direct contact with the virus and does not affect the health of the guides", explained Phillipe Sallenave, specialist in civil protection for the Government of France.
In a first phase, the canine units have demonstrated their skills in detecting patients, although in a later stage they must polish those skills, added the source.
"This proposal was born to seek a timely strategy that helps to capture early on people who have COVID, and there is the positive experience of France, Lebanon, United Arab Emirates and other countries that had favorable results with the implementation of this technique" said José Ruales, Vice Minister of Health.
The objective of the project is to establish a comprehensive health action to detect citizens who are carriers of the virus, in order to expedite the application of appropriate epidemiological fences and prevent the spread of the disease on a larger scale, the Ministry added in its statement.
This Friday Ecuador announced 1,619 new cases of COVID-19 and raised its accumulated number to 461,157 positives since the pandemic began to register on February 29 of last year.
The official report specified that the number of confirmed deaths with COVID-19 accumulated to 15,946, to which are added 5,677 "probable deaths" with the disease, for a total of 21,623 deaths." - https://www.ecuavisa.com/noticias/ecuador/ecuador-adiestra-a-unidades-caninas-para-detectar-covid-19-entre-la-gente-YG484247

16SEP26💯%Choneros🚀"On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM)
forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.
Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization.
Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it.
JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.
"Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens,
undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." -

"It is an absurdity, it is laughable, to speak of such a
pending disaster as "The End of the World."
We are discussing the end of Humanity, or we are discussing the
end of Civilization, or we are perhaps even discussing
the end of some this or that Empire that we mistakenly
believe to identify with.
The end of the world will come when the sun
expands and engulfs it.
Now, is it truly a surprise that our discourse relates
economic tragedy with an ecological one?
That we actually behave as though a marked downturn in
the Market can somehow be compared to the death of Nature?
We are so enamored with our vastness and resource that we have forgotten the lark and the sparrow.
So I say, come armageddon. Come, you horsemen.
Let us speak these things no more."
