El Paso officials ‘cautiously optimistic’ about decrease in hospitalizations, new COVID-19 cases
El Paso officials are “cautiously optimistic” about a noticeable decrease in new COVID-19 infections and hospitalizations. Further, they haven’t seen the traditional spike in cases following major holidays, and it’s been 13 days since Thanksgiving.
“The trend continues downward despite what we had seen 10 to 14 days after a holiday. Hopefully this is because people are following the recommendations we have made,” said El Paso City-County Health Authority Dr. Hector Ocaranza.
El Paso on Tuesday reported 500 new coronavirus cases and 126 extemporaneous confirmations from the Texas State Department of Public Health. By contrast, the county early last month was seeing one-day spikes of 1,423 (Nov. 6) and 3,538 (Nov. 4) cases. (Officials later revised that Nov. 4 number to over 1,500 and attributed the change to a data backlog.)

The Language of Friendships
Saania's diary - reflections, learnings, sparkles
In times of crisis and struggles, we all want someone to turn to. Relationships are important, and therefore friends are important. The word ‘Friendship’ doesn’t quite fit into a single definition, it’s a relationship that cannot be described using words.
Even though I am not a social butterfly, quality counts more for me than quantity does. While it’s good to cultivate a diverse network of friends and acquaintances, I have nurtured a few true friendships over the years.
When I find myself going through a hard time, my friends help me get through it. When I find myself not feeling good about myself, my friends are the ones who lift me up. When I find myself in between sobs, my friends are the ones who make me laugh. When the world turns its back at me, my friends are right there by my side. True friends are the ones who…

In-person instruction ‘not recommended’ for San Antonio, Bexar County schools, Metro Health says
“The school indicator bar is in the Red Zone, which means in-person learning is not recommended,” Woo said. “Our data show that schools are less risky places than we thought at the start of the pandemic, but we also know that avoiding extra risks will help contain our current surge. We urge parents to choose remote learning until we can get over this hump.”

Balcon la Mediterana
My two-day walk to Genoa
Genova, 2018
Plimbarea mea de două zile la Genova a fost una dezordonată.

Am decis să nu-mi propun dinainte obiectivele și reperele. Am avut intenția doar să colind la întâmplare și să fotografiez fără să știu ce.

Labirintul medieval e format din străduțe înguste unde e greu să te orientezi. Asa că cel mai bine e să te rătăcești.

Cel mai mult m-au uimit straturile arhitecturale din epoci diferite reunite într-un singur edificiu.

Vezi o sumedenie. Cartierul din apropierea mării își păstrează prima sa vocație, cea comercială.

Cum e și firesc, aici erau debarcate mărfurile aduse de peste mări și țări. Chiar dacă am privilegiat hoinăreala, am vizitat pe-ndelete două palate somptuoase.
Palazzo Doria Pamphili (del Principe) se află pe țărmul mării. În vremea lui, avea propriul ambarcader, unde acostau navele lui Carol V.

Ca să ajung aici, am traversat o zonă cu urbanizare densă, cu intersecții și străzi circulate…

Chinese vaccine is 86 percent effective, says U.A.E., where trials were held. – The New York Times
The data from the U.A.E. may not be a final indicator of the vaccine’s overall efficacy. Sinopharm has been running trials in 10 countries, data from which has not yet been released.
It is unclear whether the U.A.E. would start a mass vaccination program — the government had already approved the vaccine for emergency use in September for frontline workers at risk of contracting Covid-19. Separately, Morocco said it is preparing to vaccinate 80 percent of its adults, relying initially on a Sinopharm vaccine, the Associated Press reported.
Because the coronavirus has largely been stamped out in China, Chinese vaccine makers had to launch Phase 3 trials in places with active outbreaks to fully conclude whether their vaccines are effective. Sinopharm, which has two vaccines in late-stage testing, is also conducting trials in Bahrain, Jordan, Peru and Argentina and elsewhere, involving more than 60,000 volunteers.
