WHO names B1617 fourth COVID-19 variant of concern | CIDRAP (India)

Over the weekend, India’s cases remained near record levels, with the country reporting more than 400,000 cases on May 8 and about 366,000 cases yesterday.

In other Indian developments, the country is asking former army medics to help care for patients at overwhelmed hospitals and military doctors to do online consultations, according to Reuters.

Meanwhile, doctors in India are reporting an increase in potentially fatal fungal lung infections called mucormycosis in people with COVID or in those who recently recovered, according to the New York Times. Some experts said the cases could be linked to increased use of steroids or from treatment at home, including oxygen, without proper hygiene.

Arizona Election Recount Embarrassing Even Republicans

a top official in the Department of Justice warned that ballots “are at risk of being lost, stolen, altered, compromised or destroyed” and that the recount may violate federal law. Arizona’s Secretary of State, Katie Hobbs, was the first to raise the alarm that, as she put it, Cyber Ninjas’s review represented “a significant departure from standard best practices.” According to the Times, her remarks resulted in Trump supporters sending her death threats, and Hobbs had to be given protection from the state police.

In a recent interview with the New York Times, Republican state senator Paul Boyer expressed a little bit of buyer’s remorse. “It makes us look like idiots,” Boyer told the Times. He added, “Looking back, I didn’t think it would be this ridiculous. It’s embarrassing to be a state senator at this point.”

But unfortunately, they ripen so quickly and cannot be stored too long. Sometimes, we’re left with overripe bananas that are unsightly with those blackened spots and mushy texture. But honestly speaking, they’re a lot more healthier that way. I cannot discard food; I cannot waste food. I have too much respect for it. Usually, I just make a banana cake or banana fritters. But look at what my mum came up with….

Ingredients:

  • 2 overripe bananas

  • 100ml milk

  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 6 tbsp. Jaggery or 4 tbsp. Sugar
  • 2-3 pinches of baking soda

Method:

Grind the bananas with sugar and salt. Add the remaining ingredients and mix well. Adjust the consistency by…

Open Thread | Maybe People Had Time To Think During The Pandemic | 3CHICSPOLITICO

People have had time to think, and they aren’t willing to work jobs for shyt wages and no benefits. Folks also forget to add that people don’t want to work jobs that have UNSAFE WORKING CONDITIONS. Now, what about the accusation of there not being workers applying for these shyt jobs. That might very well be true. After all, I will remind these same folks that they were the -OPEN THE ECONOMY NOW IN THE MIDDLE OF A PANDEMIC -people. The official COVID DEATH TOLL is now approaching 600,000. There was a study released last week that said that number was too low. That the real number could possibly reach 900,000!

people who follow a vegetarian diet tend to consume more vegetables, fruits, and nuts which contain more nutrients, fibre, and other potentially beneficial compounds. These nutritional differences may help explain why vegetarians appear to have lower levels of disease biomarkers that can lead to cell damage and chronic disease.” Source: Vegetarians have healthier levels of disease markers than meat-eaters
