With the total number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States surpassing 200,000, it’s no surprise that Greek-Australian boxing star George Kambosos Jr fled the country.
With flights being grounded and borders closing, Kambosos made the decision to suspend his training for the final elimination round of the IBF Lightweight World Title, and returned to Australia on March 21.
He, along with his partner Bec Pereira and their children, Evaliah and Leonidas, are now nearing the end of a two-week quarantine.
“I was already in Miami training and I had an absolutely fantastic first week,” Kambosos told Wide World of Sports.
“But unfortunately on the next Monday, we went to get back in the gym and COVID-19 had pretty much taken over the world. The gym got closed down and before you know it, there was signs of the US going into a possible lockdown.
“I had my family with me like always and I said, ‘You know what, if we get stuck here, this is not going to be good. Let’s get on a flight, let’s get home and we’ll deal with whatever comes’.”
The upside? Kambosos has a fully decked-out gym in his home, where he is now preparing for his elimination round against Welshman Lee Selby, a 33-year-old former featherweight world champion.
“For myself, nothing changes. I’m in the gym day-in, day-out whether I have a fight locked in or if a fight’s in six months’ time. I’m always in the gym, always preparing, always perfecting my craft,” Kambosos stressed.
The bout between Kambosos and Selby was initially set for May 9 in Cardiff but has now been postponed to July 11. It is one of the biggest fights of Kambosos’ surging boxing career as it could give him a strong chance to win the IBF Lightweight World Title.
“I want the best Selby, I don’t want no excuses. When I beat him, when I stop him in front of his people, I don’t want any excuses, don’t want him to say, ‘I was outside of the ring too long’, or, ‘I’ve aged too much’,” Kambosos said.
“When the time does come and we do fight, I’ll be 110 percent ready. A little bit of extra time is going to be great for myself and I think it will actually hurt Selby a bit more.”
His Eminence Archbishop Makarios has explained his decision to close churches across Australia, saying that he did not want participation in the Divine Liturgy and other communal worship services to result in “anyone becoming ill or even dying because they were infected.”
This statement was made during his recent interview with Maria Giachnaki from the Orthodoxia News Agency, where he also discussed recent conspiracies that have emerged around COVID-19.
“It is not a weapon of mass destruction which has a toxic character and which has been let loose into the atmosphere to generate mass murder,” His Eminence said when asked about the theory that society was facing a global biological war.
“It is a pandemic which we must all face with unity, faith, obedience to the governing bodies and the scientific community, and with prudence and sobriety.”

English transcript of the interview:
1. Firstly can you comment on the coronavirus pandemic? Is it true that humankind is experiencing a global biological war?
The studies that have been presented to date show that this virus has arisen through mutation. Without wanting to fall into the trap of catastrophic discourse and accepting the ‘prophesies’ that are on the rise these days, I acknowledge medically that this virus has existed since 2002. The coronaviruses are a group of viruses which attack the respiratory system of humans and animals. This specific virus (COVID-19) is the seventh in this family. In 2002, as was previously mentioned, we saw the emergence of the corona virus SARS in China, while in 2012 we saw the emergence of corona virus MERS in the Middle East.
Beyond the scientific facts, it is well known that the second most powerful nation in the world is China, while America, which is the first, has a huge debt to China. The balances between power are always very delicate. I foresee that the vaccine to treat and cure this virus will be discovered in the USA since in this way the existing economic balances which have been threatened will be maintained. Moreover, we experienced similar situations in the past where there were outbreaks of even more deadly viruses, but we did not see such global mobilization. This specific outbreak has resulted in an only 1% death rate for those of the population who have been infected. All these are fact which one is not able to ignore too easily; indeed, they indicate that certain agendas may underlie the kind of response that has eventuated with the appearance of this virus (which, according to research into its cause, has not been manufactured by humans). This is, therefore, not a biological weapon since the illness does not clinically present as such. It is not a weapon of mass destruction which has a toxic character and which has been let loose into the atmosphere to generate mass murder. It is a pandemic which we must all face with unity, faith, obedience to the governing bodies and the scientific community, and with prudence and sobriety.
2. What measures
have you taken in Australia?
Here in Australia we have tried, as much as possible, to maintain the legal requirements as well as the advice of the medical bodies, not because we want to protect ourselves but to protect those around us. Let us not forget that illnesses are personal trials as well as trials faced by our loved ones and their respective families. We do not for a moment wish to imagine that entire families will suffer. The only reason as to why we were forced to close all our Churches nation-wide, through an official encyclical to our people, was to protect our neighbor, families and society more broadly. We certainly do not want our Churches to become a source of contamination for anyone. We do not want our participation in the Divine Liturgy and other communal worship services to result in anyone becoming ill or even dying because they become infected. Certainly, all the services are being conducted by the priest and the chanter. The bells continue to ring. The services are being live streamed through the internet. People know that their priest is there, and that he continues to offer the bloodless sacrifice for the health of all people; for all those who are not in the Church, and for the repose of all those who have departed this life.
3. Many people are asking why God allowed such a trial to take place across the whole planet. Why is it that the God of mercy and love allows such situations?
I will not attempt to give an answer to such questions because then we will become embroiled in a process of rationalizing what is mystery and faith. I can, however, assure you that our Church is not a Church of pain and illness. It is a Church of joy, love, victory over death. Pain and suffering become an opportunity for the Christian to become a better person, to come out of himself, his introversion and self-love. Pain gives us the ability to empathize with the pain of our fellow human beings, and to enter their situation for a while. Pain allows us to rethink and reflect on our way of life, which may be entirely worldly, and which may not leave any room for a spiritual and eschatological outlook. Pain and illness usually soften the intensity of the passions and transform the person.
Of course, there is the other possibility that illness and pain harden people, making them more unyielding and more difficult. Satan exploits illness a lot. If we do not mobilize patience and our trust in God, then we become anxious, we protest and do not accept our illness, and then Satan creates havoc and one illness follows the other. Some people turn to faith thinking they will overcome illness in that way. I don’t know, however, if this is what we should be striving for. Faith in God has nothing to do with a transaction. Others think that faith protects us from pain, but this is not true. Faith simply helps us to understand and to accept God’s silence when we are tormented by the question you asked me initially: Why does God allow pain and pandemics? Why does He allow the coronavirus and death? Why does God send cancer to me?
4. HowshouldaChristiangenerally
face illnesses?
When we speak about illness we need to clarify that we may be referring to a state that cannot always be explained medically and scientifically. Our body, for example, can slowly die when the soul is not alive; in other words, the presentation of bodily malaise or fatigue is often a result of one’s spiritual state and not merely one’s biological. Some people know that they are ill, while others do not know it. Some accept it and some do not. A person may be living with a particular illness, but follows a completely different path; in other words that person may not be accepting of his or her reality. This is because people are free to live according to the flesh or to live according to the spirit. They may live with God, but quickly they may learn to live without God, without light, without love.
It is natural to have troubling
thoughts and to be worried with the appearance of this pandemic. Despite being human, let us not show a human
way of thinking and lack of courage. Illness and trials in life more generally
become a criterion by which our spirituality and the depth of our humanity can
be tested. Hyper-anxiety, panic and fear reveal the absence of a
spiritual life. That is why we are called to face every illness as children of
God and not as worldly people. In this spirit, I am not sure whether we should
be trying to overcome our illnesses or accept them as a necessary element of
our salvation.
5. Can you give our readers a message on the problems of our times generally and especially in relation to the Coronavirus pandemic?
During times of pandemics, trials and sorrows, let us think how close God and the Saints are to us. Let us look at the lives of the Saints of our Church. They all suffered pain, affliction, deprivation and sorrow; they all experienced difficulties and innumerable trials. In the writings of the Great Fathers, it is repeatedly emphasized how pain and illness sanctify the human person. There has never been a Saint who wrote negatively about pain and illness. Our Saints may have performed miracles, but they never cured themselves. On the contrary, they boast about their trials because in these they were led closer to God.
Illnesses and difficulties will come into our lives. Sometimes they will come unexpectedly. Let us not think that we are not able to overcome them, because then we will be burdened with anxiety and fear. Rather, let us confront these naturally. Let us walk completely free from compulsions and desires, because for us Christians, “whether we live, or whether we die we belong to God”. Let us give thanks to God, not for our illnesses or for the cures, but because, through these, we came to know Him better and we become more intimately connected with Him. Let us look forward to the abolition of our limitations. This means that we put an end to any obstacle, and we become one with Him. We then reach the state that St Paul was referring to: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.”
This new pandemic that we are experiencing today comes to show us, once again, human fragility and our fear when faced with the possibility of death. The human person, however, has been created for something else; and not for corruption and anxiety. For this reason, I personally ask that people remain calm. Let us place our trust in God. I know it is not easy to abandon yourself to the mercy of God. But life always has a way of moving through and beyond trials and difficulties. Our faith in God is a huge power, implacable and unrestrained. Let us therefore make use of it. Let us enhance the power of our faith because then we will see everything in a different light, which will no longer tie us down to earth, but will direct us towards Heaven.
This pandemic will be overcome. The Resurrection will come soon.
Around one million families are set to receive free childcare during the coronavirus pandemic under a plan announced today by the Morrison Government.
Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the plan will support families, while also ensuring many of the sector’s 13,000 childcare and early learning services can remain open.
“If you have a job in this economy then that is an essential job… and it is important that all of those parents who have children get access to childcare and those facilities will be there for them in the many months ahead,” Mr Morrison said.
Minister for Education, Dan Tehan, said the $1.6 billion temporary overhaul of the childcare sector would begin from Sunday night.
“What we will be doing is turning off the old system and going to a new system,” Mr Tehan said.
“Current means testing arrangements are also no longer in place because we want everyone who is working during this pandemic to access care.”

Mr Tehan said the only conditions for childcare centres to receive the payments were that they “must remain open and must provide care” for those parents who need their children cared for.
“They must also seek to re-enrol those parents who might have dropped off,” he said.
“If you have terminated your enrolment since 17 February, then I encourage you to get back in contact with your centre and re-start your arrangements.”
News Corp Australia will stop printing 60 of its community newspapers in New South Wales, Victoria, Queensland and South Australia from April 9.
Mr Michael Miller, Executive Chairman of News Corp Australasia, said the decision to suspend printing was not taken lightly, and comes in the wake of plunging advertising revenues from the real estate and hospitality sectors.
“During this unprecedented time it is imperative that we reduce costs while continuing to keep the community informed,” Mr Miller said.
“The print suspension will allow us to assess the shape of the market itself and future conditions, taking into account how the coronavirus situation unfolds in the coming period.”

Dozens of job losses are expected to follow as Mr Miller did not rule out redundancies in a recent note to staff obtained by The Guardian.
“In coming days, the direct managers of affected staff will discuss the impact of this suspension with individuals and teams,” the internal email read.
Mr Miller said the mastheads would continue to publish digitally but did not specify whether printing would resume after the crisis is over.
Readers can access a free 28-day digital subscription which gives access to the community titles as well as the metro mastheads the Herald Sun, the Daily Telegraph, the Courier-Mail and the Advertiser.
The Greek Herald also offers home delivery and subscription:
Following this recent announcement, The Greek Herald is moving to a month-to-month distribution system to deliver newspapers straight to the homes of our readers.
There are currently two options available: (1) Door-to-door delivery in selected suburbs, and (2) If your suburb is not on the list, we can post the newspaper direct to your door through Australia Post.
Following a teleconference on Wednesday, the Holy Synod of the Church of Greece has announced that Easter services will be held behind closed doors without a congregation as of Palm Sunday on April 12.
Archbishop of Athens Ieronymos said the services will be attended by the minimum number of clergy and chanters, with all expected to declare “on their honour” that they are asymptomatic.
“These services must be broadcast live on TV, radio and the internet,” Archbishop Ieronymos added.
In a statement following the four hour conference, the Holy Synod also urged worshippers to stay at home and comply with the lockdown imposed by the state to contain the spread of the coronavirus.

The move comes after the Greek government originally ordered the suspension of all church services, allowing churches to remain open for private prayer only.
But Education and Religious Affairs Minister, Niki Kerameus, had indicated in recent days that it would consider allowing services to take place behind closed doors and be broadcast for worshippers to follow from home.
Greek resistance hero and politician, Manolis Glezos, was laid to rest in Athens on Wednesday with only nine people in attendance due to restrictions to help stop the spread of COVID-19.
The funeral took place in the presence of only his wife, the couple’s two children and their wives, and their four grandchildren.

Archbishop of Athens Ieronymos, who referred to Glezos as a “symbol of Resistance,” performed the funeral service in the chapel of the Metropolis.
The WWII resistance icon was then laid to rest at the Cemetery of Athens in a tomb donated by the Athens Municipality to honor the great man.
Following his death on Monday, Prime Minister Kyriakos Mitsotakis also ordered the Greek flag on the Acropolis to fly half-mast to show that the country was mourning for the man who took down the Nazi flag in 1941.
The Greek flag was waving at half mast yesterday to honor Manolis Glezos.
With the coronavirus hampering the progress of children learning Greek at school, Ellinopoula, an online Greek schooling program, is looking to bring Greek learning into peoples homes and more Australian schools.
Ellinopoula is promoted as a more “fun” way of learning Greek, offering over 5000 interactive activities and over 400 “classroom” videos that “teach kids Greek as though they are actually in a classroom”. The website contains games, videos, and thousands of interactive educational activities for students and a range of management tools for schools and teachers.
Speaking exclusively with the Greek Herald, CEO of Ellinopoula Anna Sakkis revealed she is excited for the growing expansion across Australia.
“We have many individual subscribers in Australia and currently, many Australian schools have requested a trial of Ellinopoula,” Anna reveals to The Greek Herald.
In Australia, the Ellinopoula platform is currently used by three schools:
Darwin Greek school, Darwin, Australia
Renmark West Primary School, Adelaide, Australia
Paideia Greek school, Melbourne, Australia
Ellinopoula has gained increased popularity since the COVID-19 outbreak across the globe, forcing Greek schools in Australia and the USA to temporarily close.

Anna differences themselves to modern Greek school programs, as their e-learning program focuses on bringing Greek education into the lives of children every day of the week.
“We knew that learning Greek once or twice a week is not enough for kids, so we created a fun platform requiring only 5 minutes of engagement a day – and we’ve been overwhelmed by parents telling us their kids stay on the app for much longer!”, Anna said in a press release last Wednesday.
However, Ms Sakkis reveals that the programs high price tag is often a deterrent for many. Despite this, she hopes that Australian parents and schools trial the educational program.
“During the current coronavirus epidemic many have asked us to give it to schools for free. I would love nothing more but to be able to do that,” Anna says to The Greek Herald.
“However, being a cutting edge start-up platform with original content, overhead running expenses – server capacity and bandwidth among them – increase with increased traffic.
“We do understand that it takes time to appreciate the full breadth and depth of Ellinopoula, but we are positive that Ellinopoula will be widely adopted by many Australian schools soon as it has been adopted by parents.”
A story that Greeks are all too familiar with, Alexander the Great solidified his place in the history books at this time in 334 BC, when he crossed the Hellespont and began his historic campaign in the East.
While it is unknown of the exact date, it is
recorded that he began his campaign in the middle of Spring, with April 1
signifying the beginning of the second month of Spring in Greece.
Brief
Background
The earliest known account of Alexander’s life is by the Greek historian Diodorus, but we also have histories written by other historians, regarded as the Alexander historians. They interpreted written accounts from shortly after Alexander’s death, penned by those who fought alongside Alexander on his campaigns.
Alexander was born in Pella, the capital of the Kingdom of Macedon. He was the son of the king of Macedon, Philip II, and his fourth wife, Olympias. Philip II of Macedon – who reigned from 359 to 336 BCE – was an accomplished king and military commander in his own right. Inheriting a weak, underdeveloped society, he moulded Macedon into a military nation that subjugated most of Greece.
In 336 BCE, after King Philip II of Macedon was
killed, Alexander was quickly crowned as the king. After subduing any serious
threats to his rule, and with the Greek city-states now firmly under Macedonian
rule following Charonea, Alexander embarked on the great campaign his father
had been planning: the conquest of the mighty Persian Empire.
The
Campaign Begins
Alexander the Great took over the already existing
invasion project of Philip II, who had sent Parmenion, with Amyntas,
Andromenes and Attalus, and an army of 10,000 men
into Anatolia two years prior. Alexander’s army crossed the Hellespont in
334 BC with approximately 48,100 soldiers, 6,100 cavalry and a fleet of
120 ships with crews numbering 38,000. The men were drawn from Macedon and
various Greek city-states, mercenaries, and feudally raised soldiers
from Thrace, Paionia, and Illyria.
Crossing the Hellespont, Alexander the Great showed his intent to conquer the entirety of the Persian Empire. The commander threw a spear into Asian soil, saying he accepted Asia as a gift from the gods. At this point, a war was declared with the lands of the East.

His initial victory against Persian forces at the Battle of the Granicus, was the first of many, as Alexander accepted the surrender of the Persian provincial capital. He then proceeded along the Ionian coast, granting autonomy and democracy to the cities.
Alexander was a unique king, unlike any before seen
in Europe. As he expanded beyond Persia into Asia Minor, Syria, Egypt,
Mesopotamia, and Bactria, he did not drastically challenge existing
administrative systems. Rather, he adapted them for his own purposes and used
the cities as defensive garrisons administrative headquarters.
Unlike any previous conquerer, Alexander was not
interested in imposing his own ideas of truth, religion, or behaviour upon
newly ruled territories. As long as citizens of these nations kept supply lines
open to feed his troops, he encouraged the trade and spread of different
cultures.
Despite this, Alexander spread the value of Greek culture which was impressed upon him by his tutor, the Greek philosopher Aristotle (384-322 BCE). As Alexander campaigned, he spread Greek thought and culture in his wake, thus creating the “Hellenistic World”.
Map of what would become Alexander’s empire
To create this dream, Alexander was not shy of
violence and victory through ruthless measures. With Alexander’s campaign
through the East lasting for over 10 years, it is expected that him and his
army killed at least 150,000 soldiers, many of them Persian.
Alexander the Great’s conquest sadly did not end on
his own terms, rather from the mutiny of his own troops. The Greek commander
turned his attention towards India in 327 BCE, yet his exhausted troops refused
to go farther. The troops remained in the conquered regions of Persia and Asia
Minor.
Legacy
And Memory
Herma of Alexander (Roman copy of a 330 BC statue by Lysippus, Louvre Museum). According to Diodorus, the Alexander sculptures by Lysippus were the most faithful.
Mystery still surrounds Alexander the Great’s death
to this day. Many historians assume that the Greek leader died of disease, yet the
real cause is truly unkown. Alexander the Great died in June 323 B.C. at age 32
with no successor to his throne line.
Many conquered lands retained the Greek influence
Alexander introduced, and several cities he founded remain important cultural
centers even today. The period of history from his death to 31 B.C., when his
empire folded, would come to be known as the Hellenistic
period, from “Hellazein,” which means, “to speak Greek or identify with the
Greeks.”
Alexander the Great is revered as one of the most influential
leaders the ancient world ever produced, and an icon for every Greek citizen.
We are right in the middle of the world’s largest ever economic disaster. History will record these events as a global collapse and a global pandemic. We cannot compare this with the GFC, nor the 1987 Stock Market crash, nor the Great Depression. We are witnessing the greatest economic collapse in the history of capitalism. A collapse happening in every nation around the world at the same time. Governments scrambling to cushion the fall of their economies, while trying to deal with a global Pandemic. A double crisis, a double edge sword.
It could all, very well, be over faster than it all began. A rapid cure for the COVID-19 virus could resurrect businesses and jobs, but the economies of every nation will be different forevermore. The economic rationale will be different. Globalisation will no longer be a business buzz world.
We should separate the events. There are two distinct events here. The COVID-19 Pandemic is one. The economic collapse is another. Are they related? Yes and No. Did the COVID-19 pandemic cause the economic collapse or did it just bring it forward?
Make no mistake, the world was heading for an economic collapse. Assets were over-priced and over-valued. Nations were burdened with huge debt. Taxes were too high. Consumer debt was too high. Rents were too high. Wages growth had stagnated. Our liberty was under attack. Politicians had too much power. Life was becoming hard and stressful. Technology started culling millions of jobs.
Living beyond our means was an understatement. The people kept things moving. Borrowing, buying, and working harder than ever before. The Government solution was immigration. Bring in more people, build more houses, tax everything, privatise government assets. It was the only way to keep the economy moving, because there was nothing else. It was the only way to keep the asset Ponzi Schemes alive.
There is no question that in the past 30 years, the west has facilitated the greatest wealth transition in history, to the east. Australian manufacturing has almost disappeared and with-it millions of jobs and significant wealth creating businesses. Many were the migrants that came here after WWII to get Australia moving.
We then invented the services sector and created millions of jobs dealing with customers over the telephone. Customer care and call centres for the emerging era of new technology. It was not long before we started “offshoring” these jobs to the east, to the Asian countries. Annoying as it was, and is, we tolerated it. Even the Government offshored customer service centres. Again, millions of Australian jobs lost to the east.
Then came Malcolm Turnbull’s smart country, the “Innovation Economy”. But without Start-Up cash, it went nowhere. Those involved in creating new technology, in creating innovations, also left to go to the venture epicentres around the world such as Silicon Valley and Israel. It was a massive fail and a blow to Australia’s up and coming entrepreneurs.
Australians felt the pain. Corporate and Government greed took over. We got lazy. We got entitled. The only thing left to help us keep up appearances was housing. This was far too speculative, because history shows us assets that go up, will, at some point come down. When that started happening in late 2018, we saw the beginning of what was going to be a global recession, but no one was paying attention.
All these things conspired to make our economy fragile. China stepped in and started investing in Australia by buying up businesses, infrastructure assets and agricultural businesses. Many had no choice but to sell, because the banks would not lend, or their biggest customer was China. But their investing was different to that from the historical US and the UK investors. Those investors play by the rule book. Chinese investors do not. They have their own agenda, and sinister it is. The People’s Republic plans and sanctions everything that happens.
The big question now becomes: are we going to learn something from these events? How do we intend to protect our nation, our citizens and our way of life when we have lost control of the levers of commerce, the price of capital and the means of production?
This is not like any ordinary recession, where demand slows and people lose their jobs, unemployment rises, some businesses disappear, and the government does little to assist. This has been almost like an execution, where the collapse of private demand for goods and services has seen the almost immediate closure of viable businesses with no warning. Everyday people, who were minding their business and getting on with working, raising a family, with a paying job, or a small business, and ensuring their superannuation was geared for retirement, have had their lives turned upside down in a matter of a few weeks. Many have never seen a recession, let alone this complete breakdown of the economy. Most cannot understand it.
The Government response has been to insulate people and businesses as much as possible by throwing over $200 billion into the economy. There are grants and loans and welfare payments available for most. The banks have come forth with mortgage repayments holidays, but these are just deferred capitalised interest, which will be added to your loan in 6 months’ time. The Reserve Bank of Australian dropped the cash rate to 0.25% and many retail mortgage rates, particularly the fixed rates, have dropped considerably. Many other measures are expected as the economic fallout continues to worsen.
We expect rent relief of some form to become a part of the Government effort, for both commercial and residential tenants. Landlords need to be proactive and work with tenants to cushion the blow. Better to have a tenant paying half the rent, then no tenant at all. The residential market is awash with empty apartments as a result of the huge decrease in overseas students not having arrived into the country.
The question now remains, where to from here. The COVID-19 Pandemic must be brought under control. Only in this way can we resurrect the economy. We use the word “resurrect” because that is what it will be. We will see a “reset” of the economy, almost like a company coming out of voluntary administration. The Government handouts will not save many businesses, and many will close forever. But the biggest single concern is what psychological impact will this economic disaster have on people and on businesses? Will they go back to the way they were? Will private demand for goods and services come back, or will we see a continuation into a long-term recession?
Whatever the outcome, right now we are all in this together and we must work together to ensure our communities stay focused, that we help the needy, that we follow the “stay home” requirement and that we ensure we spend our money on Australian made goods and services.
