In terms of our response as a city, one area where I do believe that we excelled — both in terms of directly serving New Yorkers, but also being an exemplar for the entire country and in some ways the world — is our vaccination campaign. We just hit 17 million doses administered in New York City. But far more important is what that means with respect to the immense suffering that has been prevented. We estimate that about 48,000 lives were saved, over 300,000 hospitalizations were averted and about 1.9 million cases were prevented.

Mass graves of the Ukrainian civilians Russia claims it is not killing
67 residents of Bucha in the Kyiv oblast were buried in a mass grave on 10 March, with some of the victims of Russia’s unending shelling unidentified. Like in Mariupol, Russia’s relentless bombing and shelling leave the Ukrainian authorities with no alternative, but to resort to such mass graves, another bitter echo from the Nazi occupation 80 years ago. Most, if not all, of the victims in both cities were the civilians, mostly women and children, whom Russia is still denying that that it is killing.
The denials are staggering. Russian leader Vladimir Putin’s press secretary Dmitry Peskov claimed on 14 March that Russia’s so-called ‘special operation’ was going to plan and that their sophisticated weapons were “hitting only items of military-informational infrastructure”. The state-controlled RIA Novosti ends each report by quoting the defence ministry which claims that its armed forces “strike only military infrastructure and Ukrainian soldiers”.

Se enamoraron no del palpitar ni de los signos de la vida, les cautivaron no las expresiones de la flora y la fauna, los embelesaron no el canto del pájaro ni las voces y los silencios del oleaje del mar, de los ríos y de las cascadas, a los que extinguirían, incluso, a cambio de apropiarse de las piedras preciosas y de los yacimientos de minerales que les dan riqueza y poder absoluto, de los paraísos terrestres que nutren sus apetitos y codicias, de las cosas que satisfacen sus caprichos e intereses. Esa es, sin duda, una de las aberraciones humanas que deberíamos condenar y suprimir del mundo. Las calamidades de hoy -contaminación, hambre, violencia, enfermedades, miseria, injusticias y guerras-, son provocados por ellos, quienes, ante la distracción humana, se apoderan gradualmente del planeta y sus riquezas. Ellos tienen…

Hug/ Abraço
Um abraço sincero. Doce e singelo. Um abraço que cobre o medo, a dor e a saudade. Um abraço de amizade, de verdade sem falsidade. Um abraço pra dizer oi, prazer, quero te conhecer. Um abraço de despedida, só ida e não tem vista. Um abraço suado, apertado com gosto de chegada e não largada. Os abraços tem significado, que saibamos usar bem e deixar guardado no coração de alguém. Abraços ajudam, cura e muda, o dia, a situação até a imaginação. Com amor: Coisas da SiL

Hug
A sincere hug. Sweet and simple. A hug that covers fear, pain and longing. A hug of friendship, truly without falsehood. A hug to say hi, nice to meet you. A goodbye hug, just one way and no view. A sweaty hug, tight with a taste of arrival and departure. Hugs…

When we tell a lie it exposes our dishonesty and speaks of the length we will go to in order to portray our bigotry. Telling a lie over and over again doesn’t transform it into the truth.
