Vomiting virus that emerged in southern China now spreading around the world: Shanghaiist

Cases of GII.17 have already emerged in the US, South America, Europe and Africa, scientists wrote in a paper which accompanied new Japanese research.

While there’s no medicine available yet to treat or prevent GII.17, a pharmaceutical company based in Osaka, Japan “has the most advanced vaccine in development”.

Hope.

Norovirus symptoms, including fever, vomiting and diarrhea, typically last only a couple of days and infected food workers are usually the source of the outbreak, the report said.

www.german-foreign-policy.com Greece’s No

The “No”

Germany’s imposition of an austerity policy suffered a first serious defeat with yesterday’s “No” in the Greek referendum. Aided by the EU, the ECB and the IMF, Germany has been able to impose its austerity dictate on Greece for the past five years, ruining the country’s economy and causing social devastation of appalling dimensions.[1] A clear majority of the Greek population has now clearly rejected that austerity dictate: Yesterday, more than 61 percent voted against the proposed agreement with Greece’s creditors, which would have prolonged the austerity policy, despite its catastrophic consequences. This clear rejection is all the more remarkable, due to the fact that not only had the Greek conservative establishment put its full weight behind a “Yes”, but even Germany and substantial parts of the EU had interfered in an unprecedented manner in the Greek referendum debate and had massively increased their pressure on the Greek population – up until yesterday.

“El invierno pasado tuve ataques de pánico, me hicieron cuestionarme todo lo que estaba haciendo. Pude ver las cosas que necesitaba cambiar. Como dejar de sobre exigirme en el trabajo. Vivía solamente para trabajar, ni siquiera me daba el derecho a descansar porque sentía que tenía que hacer y tener siempre el paño lleno de cosas para vender. Ahora estoy más tranquila, me gustaría dedicarme a la aromaterapia.”

“Last winter I had panic attacks. They made me question everything I was doing. I could see the things I needed to change. Like to stop putting too much pressure on myself at work. I used to live to work. I didn’t even give myself the right to rest because I felt like I had to be doing something. I always had to have my stand full of crafts to sell. Now I’m calmer. I’d like to work with aromatherapy.”
