Indian Farmers, Government Still at Stalemate | Food Manufacturing

Representatives of the Indian government and tens of thousands of protesting farmers failed to make progress Friday in their eighth round of talks over the farmers’ demand that new agricultural reform laws be scrapped.

Agriculture Minister Narendra Tomar offered to amend any flaws in the three laws but refused to repeal them, prompting the farmers to continue their 44-day-old blockade of highways linking the capital with the country’s north.

The two sides agreed to meet again on Jan. 15, said Hannan Mollah, a leader of the farmers. “We can’t accept anything other than the repeal of the three new laws,” he said.

Television images showed the farmers at the negotiating table with placards reading, “We will win or die.”

SARS-CoV-2 Transmission From People Without COVID-19 Symptoms | Infectious Diseases | JAMA Network Open | JAMA Network

The findings presented here complement an earlier assessment21 and reinforce the importance of asymptomatic transmission: across a range of plausible scenarios, at least 50% of transmission was estimated to have occurred from persons without symptoms. This overall proportion of transmission from presymptomatic and never symptomatic individuals is key to identifying mitigation measures that may be able to control SARS-CoV-2. For example, if the reproduction number (R) in a given setting is 2.0, then at least a 50% reduction in transmission is needed to drive the reproductive number below 1.0. Given that in some settings R is likely much greater than 2 and more than half of transmissions may come from individuals who are asymptomatic at the time of transmission, effective control must mitigate transmission risk from people without symptoms.

Metro Detroit counties running out of COVID-19 vaccine, officials say (Trump Administration failing to keep vaccinations moving)

“We’re asking for 50,000. We know we can get 50,000 a week out. But unfortunately, what we’ve been getting from the state with our allotment is 1,000 a week. The new group that’s added to the first priority group is going to equate to over 200,000 people — are now going to be asking for this vaccine — and we only have 1,000 per week to give out,” said Macomb County Executive Mark Hackel.

Some among America’s military allies believe Trump deliberately attempted a coup and may have had help from federal law-enforcement officials – Mitch Prothero Jan 7, 2021 | Just Sayin’

The French police official said they believed that an investigation would find that someone interfered with the deployment of additional federal law-enforcement officials on the perimeter of the Capitol complex; the official has direct knowledge of the proper procedures for security of the facility.

The security of Congress is entrusted to the US Capitol Police, a federal agency that answers to Congress.

It is routine for the Capitol Police to coordinate with the federal Secret Service and the Park Police and local police in Washington, DC, before large demonstrations. The National Guard, commanded by the Department of Defense, is often on standby too.

On Wednesday, however, that coordination was late or absent.
