President Nicolás Maduro said Monday that justice will reach all people
who, during this delicate phase in which the country and the world are
fighting the Covid-19 coronavirus, have dedicated themselves to
maintaining “miserable plans for putschist attacks” against the country,
instead of joining the fight against the pandemic. “Will they keep
working on their miserable plans for coup attacks? Do not complain
later, because they usually cry on social networks when justice arrives.
And justice will come. To all. I’m just saying today that justice is
going to come: Operation Tun Tun to all terrorists, violent conspirators
and plotters! Everyone!” he said Monday night in statements to the
media at the Miraflores Palace, after meeting with the Russian
ambassador, Mélik-Bagdasárov.</p><p>The head of state also referred
briefly to Donald Trump’s comments on the possible coronavirus death
toll in the US, preparing the US population for the worst catastrophe in
US history. Early today the US president said: <span>“If we have
between 100,000 and 200,000 we’ve all together done a very good job,”
during a press conference in the White House and after weeks of back and
forth about the right containment measures to save the lives of US
citizens</span><span>.</span></p><p><a href="https://orinocotribune.com/are-the-european-union-and-the-un-willing-to-bypass-the-blockade-against-venezuela/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RELATED CONTENT: Are the European Union and the UN Willing to Bypass the Blockade Against Venezuela?</a></p><p>In
that sense President Maduro said: “can you say that a comment like that
is human, is rational, for God’s sake, God forgive him because he
doesn’t know what he is doing, this barbarian, this supremacist.”</p><p>Going
back to irrational Venezuelan opposition, President Maduro said:
“Justice will even come to you. When it touches you, don’t cry on social
media!” without mentioning the recipient of his message, possibly
referring to the opposition deputy, Juan Guaidó.</p><p>“Here we are not
making faces, announcing lies and stupidities!” said President Maduro in
another part of his statements, referring to the speech that Guaidó
delivered on social networks on March 29, calling for an alleged
“emergency government request” of $ 1.2 billion from international
organizations. President Maduro added: “Here we are working with the
seriousness that a pandemic deserves and with the love that our
Venezuelan people deserve!”</p><p>Regarding the accusations made by the
US government against President Maduro and several high-ranking
Venezuelan officials, including the offer of several million dollars as a
“reward” for his capture, Maduro said: ” There is a rejection even in
the United States itself, for Donald Trump’s flamboyant attitude in
putting a price on our heads, as if we were in the wild west of the 19th
century. A price was put on the head of Pancho Villa. Morillo put a
price on Bolívar’s head, too. And we are honest and authentic
revolutionaries, and we are not intimidated by any aggression of the US
government!”</p><p>He reiterated: “If they touch one of our hairs, the
people already have a plans. The civic-military-police union already has
the plans and the people gave it a name: the Bolivarian fury! That
would be the national to international response to any *flamboyant and
brutal action from the American Empire, and they know it. ”</p><p><a href="https://orinocotribune.com/venezuelan-mercenary-cliver-alcala-turned-himself-in-and-is-on-his-way-to-the-empire/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">RELATED CONTENT: Venezuelan Mercenary -Clíver Alcala- Turned Himself in and is on His Way to the Empire</a></p><p>He
asked for serenity, trust and work for the Homeland, on three
prioritized fronts: health, economic and food production, and internal
security to guarantee peace.</p><p><strong>A million tests</strong><br>
On the other hand, the President thanked China and Russia for the
medical material and expert help provided to fight the coronavirus, and
noted that there are already a million rapid tests for screenings. “With
the arrival of all the tests, this week we are going to increase to Nth
power the numbers of personalized extended screening.”</p><p>He pointed
out that if containment and quarantine measures had not been taken two
weeks ago, “the curve today would be more than 10,000 cases and 300
deaths.” He noted that 90 percent effectiveness has been achieved due to
social distancing measures taken in time by the Venezuelan government,
but that might not be enough. “The virus is out there, and we are in a
dangerous stage. There could be a regrowth as a result of community
infections. This week and the next one will be the weeks to cut the
chains of contagion definitively,” he said.</p><p><strong>“Relatively back to normal life but under supervision with special measures”</strong><br>
When the chains of contagion are definitively cut, it is then that “we
can propose, with scientific seriousness, to go to a normalization of
the life of the country; to a relative and supervised normalization,
with special measures,” said the Venezuelan President.</p><p>He added
that “life will not be the same when we go back to normal and monitored
normality, until vaccines appear and the disease is cured.” The vaccine
could take up to 18 months to develop according to the World Health
Organization. It could be sooner. As one who is always optimistic, we
ask God for sooner,” said Maduro.</p><p>The Venezuelan president
recalled the case of the taxi driver who died in Antímano on Sunday
morning. He pointed out that he had symptoms since February 29, but
despite that, he continued working and was not seen in the state health
centers, nor did he fill out the survey on the Patria System website,
putting at risk the lives of many others.</p><p>However, he appreciated
the disciplinary and conscientious nature of the Venezuelan people who,
for three weeks, have been quarantined in their homes, however, he urged
them to maintain that discipline for the next few weeks. “I keep
calling out to the Venezuelan family. I do not want to create panic.
Nerves of steel! Calm and sanity! Maximum serenity and 100% radical
quarantine! Address all issues to maintain exemplary, heroic and radical
quarantine. We should be proud of this collective social quarantine. We
must keep it very strong,” remarked the Venezuelan president.</p><p>He thanked the work of doctors, nurses and security forces in the face of the pandemic<br>
Maduro, highlighted on Monday the work of health workers and state
security forces in the face of the coronavirus pandemic (Covid-19) in
the country, which has already registered 135 positive cases, three
deaths and 39 recovered.</p><p>“I want to ratify our admiration for all
the staff of virologists, epidemiologists, doctors, bioanalysts, nurses
in hospitals in the public system, in the private system. To all of you
our applause, our admiration, our love, may the health workers of
Venezuela live (…) To all the military personnel of the country, to all
the police personnel, to all, to civil defense, to all the personnel of
popular units, militiamen, all the street chiefs, all the communal
councils,” added the Venezuelan president.</p><p>On the other hand, he
thanked the support provided by Russia, China and Cuba, to best combat
the pandemic, which already registers more than 700,000 cases worldwide.</p><p><em>Featured image: President Maduro statements in Miraflores Palace.
