"Covid-does NOT exist AS A VIRUS,” Fact Check-COVID-19 does exist and autopsies in Russia did not show otherwise

  Autopsies of COVID-19 victims in Russia have shown COVID-19 to be the cause of death in thousands of instances. This is contrary to posts on social media claiming these autopsies revealed COVID-19 does not exist and people are instead suffering from treatable blood clots caused by bacteria. COVID-19 is caused by a virus, not a bacterium, and although it can trigger blood clots, this is not the only effect of the disease. “Russia is the first country in the world to dissect Covid-19 corpses (going against WHO’s criminal orders of no autopsy’s (sic) allowed for covid deaths), and after a thorough investigation, it was determined that Covid-does NOT exist AS A VIRUS,” says the title of an article hosted on several sites ( here  ,  here ) shared on social media  here  ,  here  and  here  .

  Prime Minister Imran Khan on Wednesday vowed to bring to justice dacoits in Dera Ghazi Khan after a video showing the brutal murders of three people by a gang went viral on social media. Addressing a launch ceremony in Layyah of the Insaf Sehat Sahulat Card, he said he was saddened to see poor people being killed in this barbaric manner.

  Cryptocurrency prices rebounded and were trading with moderate gains on May 26. Bitcoin, which comprises about 43 percent of the global crypto market capitalisation, slipped as much as $36,581 over the last 24-hour period but was trading near the day's high, at the time of writing this copy. The crypto market has been on a free fall for the last two weeks amid  environmental concerns related to bitcoin mining ,  China's ban  and mixed cues from one of its biggest proponent Elon Musk. After announcing the suspension of BTC as payments for Tesla citing "rapidly increasing use of fossil fuels for Bitcoin mining" earlier this month, Musk seems to  have had a change of heart recently . Musk tweeted that he had held “promising talks” with North American Bitcoin miners about the sustainability of the digital currency and they looked promising. Bitcoin touched nearly $40,000 following the tweet. At the time of writing this copy, the global crypto market cap stood at $1.71 t
