2020 is an extremely bad year for the car industry, and Dacia could not be an exception. Seven-month data show an undesirable balance.

Dacia got off to a bad start in 2020, as did the producers. January was the biggest decline in recent years for the domestic builder, but it was somehow logical after the end of the year that brought growth. Only then came the coronavirus pandemic.

And everything seemed to be going downhill. The March-April period was a total stalemate because production was stopped for a long time. And the figures after 7 months confirm the negative effects of the pandemic. Dacia ticked an undesirable decrease of 42% during this period.

The carmaker registered 210,505 units in January-July, according to Jato Dynamics data collected from the 27 EU states. The volume of Dacia is 42% lower than the one registered last year, respectively 362,913 vehicles, which means that there were 152,000 fewer customers. Dacia's loss represents approximately 1.5 billion euros in terms of revenues, compared to last year, writes profit.ro.

Surprisingly, the Duster model (as well as Lodgy) had the largest decline, over 44%, compared to 2019 figures, but in volume, the loss of Duster and Sandero ( -39%) is the largest, respectively about 60,000 Duster units minus and over 50,000 Sandero.

Logan sold like crazy: 17,000 units less, and Dokker 10,000. The decrease in Dokker's utility was also the smallest, 36.5%, closest to the European market average.

After seven months, Sandero is in 13th place in Europe and Duster in 16th. After seven months, the EU has registered 1.27 million cars, 3.8% less. than in July 2019, and after seven months the market volume rose to 6.3 million, 34.6% lower than last year.

Overall, Dacia's market share in Europe is down to 3.6% of the total European car market, which is declining. In July 2019, it was at 4%.

A team from the Blavatnik School of Government at Oxford University has collected data on policies that governments in more than 180 countries have adopted to combat the spread of coronavirus.

The team created the Oxford Covid-19 Government Response Tracker tool using 17 indexes they designed. They divided their findings into four factors: general government response, economic support, isolation and health, as well as strictness.

The latter shows the level of strictness of the measures taken by the countries and aims to feed the discussions on the appropriate measures, shows a Euronews article.

Kosovo (69.44 / 100) seems to be the strictest country in Europe in terms of the government's response to the pandemic, while Belarus and Georgia are the most lenient, both with a score of 8.33 / 100.

In terms of the European Union, Portugal ranks first as the state with the strictest measures, with a score of 66.2 / 100, while Estonia and Lithuania are in last place (19.44 / 100).

To measure stringency, the team considered nine indicators: from school closures and work stoppages, to transportation closures, travel restrictions And the meetings, until the public information campaigns.

About 290 participants update information from government officials or news outlets and turn it into a custom coding system.

“If people are allowed to gather in groups of 50, the state receives a certain score; if they can only gather in groups of 5, that state gets a higher rating, ”said Toy Phillips, co-author of the study.

“Heterogeneous government responses are exactly why a standardized, transparent and comparative measure is needed,” said Dr. Thomas Hale, an associate professor and project participant.

The doctor who posted on Twitter that he would treat the Jews “especially” by offering them the wrong medicines, and lost his medical certificate. The decision is permanent and certainly life-saving.

The Ohio State Medical Council has revoked the medical training certificate of a doctor who had already been fired from two residency programs after old anti-Semitic tweets appeared on social media, including one in which he threatened. that he will give the Jews the wrong medicine on purpose.

She was fired in 2018 from a resident at a clinic in Cleveland after three months there. She was expelled from a second residency program at Kern Medical Center in Bakersfield, California, a few months later.

Among the posts discovered, Kollab repeatedly called on his followers to “destroy the homes of the Jews” and called on Arab nationals to unite to “destroy the Nazi and terrorist state of Israel.”

Kollab wrote a message to the Ohio State Medical Council stating that “the things I have written do not represent who I am.”
