COVID-19 has helped turn dozens of healthcare leaders into newly-minted billionaires, according to a report.
Fifty doctors, scientists and healthcare entrepreneurs earned billionaire status this year — the majority of whom are from China, where the virus first emerged in December 2019, Forbes reported.
Of the new cohort, there were 28 “pandemic billionaires” who hailed from China, the outlet reported.

The Swedish government has proposed a bill that would allow it to close businesses and fine Covid-19 rule-breakers. Officials previously said the old model of containing the virus was a “failure.”
If approved by parliament, the law would take effect on January 10 and stand until the end of September 2021.
“In very serious situations, the government will be able to decide on more extensive measures to prevent crowding,” Health Minister Lena Hallengren said at a news briefing.
“That includes the closure of shops, public transport, shopping centers, or other kinds of businesses that fall under the new law.”
A suicidal Jeffery Epstein was extorted by prisoners and believed the government was ‘trying to kill him’, according to fellow inmates in fresh details of his ‘hellish’ final days before he killed himself in a federal jail.
The millionaire pedophile’s death at Manhattan’s Metropolitan Correctional Center on August 10 last year was officially ruled as a suicide by hanging, despite murder conspiracy theories circulating widely online.
Nashville bomber Anthony Quinn Warner hoped he would be ‘hailed a hero’ for targeting AT&T because he believed 5G cellular technology was killing people, DailyMail.com can exclusively reveal.
The 63-year-old computer tech – who died in the suspected suicide blast but was identified Sunday from DNA found in his mangled RV – was ‘heavily into conspiracy theories’, according to a source close to the investigation.
With Ontario’s latest pandemic lockdown, you can’t go to a New Year’s Eve party, shop in a store, hit the gym, or do a lot of other things.
But travellers can fly to Toronto from places like India or Nigeria to visit family or pursue university studies with no problem. There are no strict lockdown measures in place at Pearson International to deal with that concern.
Kirsten Acuna writes for Insider, an online publication with a decidedly leftist tilt. One can’t help but feel that Kirsten must have graduated from a very expensive college because she’s internalized so much white guilt that she feels she must be a white savior of black people – which is precisely what she complains is wrong with Pixar’s latest movie, Soul.
The Hamas-linked Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) worked hard to get His Fraudulency President-select Joe Biden into the White House, and now it’s time for payback. On Tuesday, the sinister organization that the establishment media routinely presents as a benign human rights group released what it called “a detailed agenda detailing policy changes that the Biden-Harris administration should pursue within its first 100 days in office to restore the rights of Americans Muslims and advance justice for all.” “Restore the rights of American Muslims”? What rights have they been denied? If you said “none,” you’re correct, but CAIR’s wishlist emanates from the bizarro world of the group’s relentless efforts to secure coveted victimhood status for Muslims in the U.S.
President Trump is coming under fire by the usual Trump-hating naysayers for issuing pre-Christmas pardons on December 23rd to several of his associates who were caught up in the Russia collusion hoax. They were treated unfairly by the FBI and prosecutors involved in the Mueller investigation. One of the most notable pardons went to Paul Manafort, President Trump’s former campaign manager who received an overly harsh sentence and even spent some time in solitary confinement for white collar crimes. Another pardon went to Roger J. Stone Jr., a political ally and longtime friend of Trump’s who was arrested following a pre-dawn raid of his home by more than a dozen FBI agents. CNN just happened to be there to capture this outrageous exercise of overkill. President Trump had previously pardoned retired United States Army lieutenant general Michael T. Flynn and former Trump campaign aide George Papadopoulos, both of whom were hounded for what are known as process crimes.
It has been a global catastrophe. We must never go down this road again.
The country this year which has been most ravaged by Covid-19 – losing a shocking 1,600 people in every million to the virus at the time of writing – is Belgium.
That might come as something of a surprise. You could be forgiven for thinking it was America, thanks to Trump’s alleged ignorance of science. Or what about Britain, which locked down ‘too late’ because of its government’s short-lived but foolish belief in freedom? Or Brazil, whose right-wing leader complained that lockdowns and masks were for ‘fags’? If not those, then surely Sweden, where there has famously been no hard lockdown at all?
Almost 160 people linked to a care home in Belgium may have been infected with Covid-19, with 18 succumbing to the disease, after a “stupid” visit by a volunteer dressed as Santa Claus, who turned out to be a carrier.
The tragedy struck Hemelrijck, a large assisted-living facility in the Mol municipality, which serves as a home to 169 elderly residents. The virus spread through it like wildfire, affecting 121 residents and 36 staff and claiming 18 lives in three weeks. A lot of anger has been directed at the management of the care home, who were accused of misleading the public in an effort to contain the scandal.
The division between Baptists is not between blacks and whites but between those who are woke on race and those who are not.
We out!” Legend has it that this was the 20-something Harriet Tubman’s response to the impending family breakup planned by her Maryland slave master in 1849. Tubman bolted and headed north to become the most famous conductor on the Underground Railroad.
When 2020 passes into the history books, it will carry more superlatives than a high school yearbook — and none of them good. Most deadly, hottest, most stressful, worst.
It is not your imagination: By a host of measures, 2020 was the worst year many Americans will have experienced in their lifetimes. It was a year of loss, of anxiety, of poverty and of disease. Recovering from the last 12 months is likely to define the entire decade ahead.
A far-left journalist from Arkansas is among four suspects who have been formally charged in connection with the firebombings of police cars during Black Lives Matter protests last summer.
Renea Baek Goddard, 22, was part of a group of people that are alleged to have thrown Molotov cocktails at Little Rock Police Department cars on August 25.
After an investigation by the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives lasting several months, authorities alleged Goddard was part of a group that broke into a police compound and then fire bombed a police vehicle.
A backward and divisive racial ideology has filled the vacuum left by disillusionment in the West.
2020 was the year that a divisive form of racial identity politics, embodied in the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, was accelerated and institutionalised.
BLM brought with it a politics of victimhood, a view of races as rigidly defined and adversarial, and a view of the past as something to be sanitised and fought against. The cowardice and capitulation of our institutions to censorious mob pressure made 2020 the year we nearly lost our collective grip on reality.
