Mystery in Japan as dangerous streptococcal infections soar to record levels | Japan | The Guardian

Ken Kikuchi, a professor of infectious diseases at Tokyo Women’s Medical University, says he is “very concerned” about the dramatic rise this year in the number of patients with severe invasive streptococcal infections.

He believes the reclassification of Covid-19 was the most important factor behind the increase in streptococcus pyogenes infections. This, he added, had led more people to abandon basic measures to prevent infections, such as regular hand disinfection.

“In my opinion, over 50% Japanese people have been infected by Sars-CoV-2 [the virus that causes Covid-19],” Kikuchi tells the Guardian. “People’s immunological status after recovering from Covid-19 might alter their susceptibility to some microorganisms. We need to clarify the infection cycle of severe invasive streptococcal pyogenes diseases and get them under control immediately.”

Streptococcal infections, like those of Covid-19, are spread through droplets and physical contact. The bacterium can also infect patients through wounds on the hands and feet.

Marielle, presente! – O Outro Lado

Da voz de uma menina, da minha e da sua voz.

Mariele,

fiquei buscando na memória a cronologia do tempo depois de sua morte e já contamos hoje seis anos.  Você ganhou nome de rua, de alameda, de avenida, de ala, de sala e seu rosto estampa coisas mundo afora – desde painéis, camisetas, grafites e uma pergunta ecoa: quem mandou te matar?

Sabe, devo te dizer que sua voz ainda ecoa nesse Brasil de injustiças e nesses anos sem respostas. E claro que nada te trará de volta. E vi no dia 8 de março agora, uma menina com um turbante na cabeça e dizia, na praça central da minha cidade que ela era uma Mariele e com o microfone da mão, disse que te levaria junto com ela onde quer que fosse.

Aquela menina disse que sua morte não seria em vão. Que ela ainda queria viver muito para te levar por aí, dentro do peito, na voz – ainda quase de adolescente – e enquanto eu seguia rua afora fiquei pensando o quanto você alcançou mesmo depois de sua morte.

É possível que aquela menina nunca havia ouvido falar sobre você antes de te matarem…  e ela estava ali, simbolicamente como mulher se vestindo de seus feitos e gritando a impunidade para os que tiraram sua voz. Ela e tantas outras meninas-jovens-mulheres falarão por você mundo afora.

Infelizmente, Marielle, a máxima de que nossa justiça é cega se confirma com esses seis anos de perguntas sem respostas. Quem mandou te matar e porquê? A quem interessava calar sua voz de forma tão brutal? E quem ganhou com isso?

Hoje, essa data se tornou o símbolo de injustiça e é por isso que cada vez mais vamos nos juntar à voz de tantas meninas que se inspiram em você para dizer que você vive nas vozes de tantas mulheres que não te deixarão em silêncio. Falaremos por você sempre!

U.S. imposes new Israeli settler sanctions in occupied West Bank

The U.S. Department of Treasury announced new sanctions Thursday against two illegal outposts in the occupied West Bank that were used as a base for attacks by extremist Israeli settlers against Palestinian civilians, three U.S. officials told Axios.

Why it matters: It is the first time U.S. sanctions are being imposed against entire outposts and not just against individuals.

  • The move comes as the Biden administration ratchets up pressure on the government of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over a range of issues, including settler violence against Palestinians and the war in Gaza.
  • There were nearly 500 Israeli settler attacks against Palestinians between Oct. 7 and Jan. 31 of this year, according to the UN humanitarian office (OCHA).

Driving the news: The second round of sanctions by the Biden administration to counter settler violence are against Moshe’s farm and Zvi’s farm for being used as a base for attacks by settlers against Palestinian civilians.

  • The Department of Treasury also sanctioned three Israeli settlers: the two leaders of the outposts, Moshe Sharvit and Zvi Bar Yosef, as well as Neriya Ben Pazi, for their involvement in attacks.
  • A U.S. official said the sanctions against the two outposts are meant to send the message that the U.S. is targeting not only individuals but also entities that are involved in giving logistical and financial support to attacks against Palestinian civilians.
  • The sanctions freeze assets the three settlers and two outposts might have in the U.S., ban them from getting a visa to enter the U.S. and block them from using the U.S. financial system.

Biden says U.S. Steel must remain domestically owned and operated | Reuters

U.S. Steel Corp (X.N), opens new tab, which has agreed to be bought by Japan’s Nippon Steel (5401.T), opens new tab for $14.9 billion, must remain a domestically owned and operated American firm, President Joe Biden said on Thursday, opposing the proposed merger.
The United States needs to “maintain strong American steel companies powered by American steelworkers,” Biden said.
“U.S. Steel has been an iconic American steel company for more than a century, and it is vital for it to remain an American steel company that is domestically owned and operated,” the president added in a statement.
