247 aboard South Korean destroyer test positive for COVID-19, report says | The Japan Times

“Test results on all 301 crewmembers of the unit showed that 247 tested positive and 50 negative. The samples of four individuals were undecipherable,” the South Korean military was quoted as saying in a statement.

None of the personnel had been vaccinated as they left South Korea before the country started its inoculation campaign.

Some of the crew members were receiving treatment in local hospitals, while others with mild or no symptoms had been placed in isolation on the vessel, according to an earlier report.

The destroyer was on an anti-piracy mission in the Gulf of Aden off Somalia and around the Strait of Hormuz, the report said. South Korea has sent two multirole aerial tankers to the waters off Africa to bring back all the crew.

Britain’s cases spike 70% in week as England ends lockdown Monday – UPI.com

Britain is dealing with a contrasting coronavirus situation: surging cases despite nearly 70% of its population receiving at least one vaccine dose and plans to ease restrictions, including in England on Monday. In addition, Prime Minister Boris Johnson, who was hospitalized with coronavirus last year, is self-isolating after becoming exposed to his infected health secretary.

In the past week, infections in Britain increased by 297,300 or 42%, including 54,674 Saturday, the highest since January and a record 67,803. Sunday’s increase was 48,161. Fatalities also rose 48%, adding 192 in one week, including 41 Saturday then 25 Sunday, but far off the record 1,823 on Jan. 20.

Lächeln in Asien, Teil 1

Smiles in Asia

Senioren um die Welt

“Es sind die Begegnungen mit Menschen, die das Leben lebenswert machen” (Guy de Maupassant, französischer Schriftsteller)

Dieser Spruch gilt ganz besonders für viele Länder Asiens, in denen wir zahlreichen netten Menschen begegnet sind, die uns anlächelten und uns das Gefühl gaben, willkommen zu sein. Wir trafen auf Kinder, die in Gegenden, in denen es kaum westliche Touristen gab, unbefangen auf uns zuliefen und strahlten, auch wenn sie von uns keine Süßigkeiten oder gar Geld bekamen, wie man das häufig in Touristenzentren sieht. Kinder, jüngere oder auch alte Personen, die uns freundlich begegneten und uns anlächelten: das ist einer der Gründe, weshalb wir so gerne in asiatischen Ländern unterwegs sind. Diese Fotos machen gute Laune, wenn wir sie ansehen, und erinnern uns an schöne Momente.

Pizza & fichi con pomodori secchi

Pizza & figs with dried tomatoes!!!

InTheNameOfSeitan

La pizza bianca con i  fichi è una classica “ricetta non ricetta” che si mette in piedi velocemente. E’ un finger food sfizioso e gustosissimo  che lo si prepara per celebrare la stagione dei fichi.

La pizza bianca la possiamo prendere già pronta dal fornaio (come nel mio caso), i fichi vanno colti freschissimi e si possono dividere a metà (volendo anche con tutta la buccia previo lavaggio e asciugatura) ….e a rendere l’accoppiata superlativa il prosciutto, che va scelto tra i migliori, se poi proprio si vuole arrivare al top indiscusso si mette anche del formaggio dolce, giusto? Nulla di più classico e superato…. Roba da paraocchi. Innovazione, sperimentazione, è quella che dobbiamo osare!!! Basta con ‘sta roba tradizionale 😜👎… Siamo nel 2018 quindi diamo spazio all’estro e soprattutto dimostriamo che mangiando vegano non si rinuncia di certo ai sapori e ai piaceri della vita
