Coronavirus digest: India records highest daily death toll | News | DW | 10.06.2021

India reported 6,148 new deaths from coronavirus on Thursday. It represents the highest single-day death toll from the virus in the world.

The sharp spike in numbers has been attributed to the eastern state of Bihar correcting its figures.

Authorities revised the state’s earlier total from about 5,400 to more than 9,400 coronavirus-related deaths to account for patients who succumbed to the virus at home or in private hospitals.

The increase in numbers surpassed the 5,444 virus-linked deaths recorded in the United States on February 12.

With a caseload of more than 29.2 million infections and nearly 360,000 fatalities, India remains the world’s second-worst affected country after the United States. However, experts maintain that the figures are massively undercounted.

Soni's thoughts

Hello, my name is Dean Hodgetts and I am honoured to have been invited to write a guest post on Soni’s thoughts. I am a writer, Christian, newly married, work in a call centre and have lived in Portugal for 5 and a half years. I enjoy dancing, making music and living my life according to my faith. It is a real blessing to have come across such great bloggers and friends who encourage you to grow. Below is a poem written from personal experience, I’m sure some will relate to these words.

Title : Do you remember?

Do you remember when people had patience?
Do you remember when people had time?
Do you remember when life was a walk in the park and all the people were doing just fine?
Do you remember when families gathered?
Do you remember your friends by your side?
Do you remember when…

Opinion | Anne Schuchat of C.D.C.: My Retirement Message for Americans – The New York Times

The nation’s public health system needs major upgrades. We need to modernize our data systems, enhance our laboratory capacities for detection and genomic sequencing of infectious threats like viruses and better integrate public health’s information and response efforts with clinical, commercial and academic sectors. America needs a renewed and expanded public health work force that reflects advanced skills as well as the diversity of the communities we serve.

The C.D.C. and public health departments are now receiving critical financial resources on an emergency basis. But these investments and improvements must be sustained. Long-term commitments to resources and innovation are essential. The Covid-19 pandemic will not be the last major threat our nation will face.

Simple & Yummy Egg Puffs

Smitha's Bake Love

Star Ingredients: Boiled Egg & Spices

“Incredible” – That’s how I like to say in one word about EGG.

Do you get the feeling that something is missing from the fridge if you don’t see an egg carton in there, somewhere? I do. There is not one day I can go without having eggs in the house.

And if by chance, there is a day, that’s the day I get the itch to make, bake or fry it. So, I most certainly don’t do the mistake of not picking up the extra egg carton in every grocery run.

Ever since I found the farm near my home and its incredible benefits of eating everything local and fresh, my diet has changed for good.

Believe me when I say FARM FRESH eggs taste better than the grocery store ones. For real, you should try it.

So, coming back to our story…

SLEEP, DIABETES AND DEATH

CRAIN'S COMMENTS

A statistical study of 500,000 middle age Brits over a 9 year period finds that those with a combination of diabetes and trouble sleeping have an 87% higher risk of death than their peers without these issues. Diabetes itself raises the risk by 12%.

Obviously, we’re talking about a shorter life expectancy, and this is before COVID. Everyone dies. The question is how short do you want your life to be?

We also know from other research that overweight and diabetes are associated with worse outcomes from COVID. So we would expect the results of this study, if repeated in the COVID era, to be even more dramatic.

The study was conducted by researchers at Northwestern University (Chicago) and the University of Surrey (UK).

The study doesn’t distinguish between sleep apnea, insomnia, stress, incontinence or other factors that make for a bad night. Poor sleep with diabetes puts you at…

Ulcer-Inducing Mini Rants

Filosofa's Word

Tonight’s min-rants have me growling, my ulcer flared up, and I will probably need a few hours of winding down before I can sleep.  But, rather than jump straight into a rant, let’s start out with something I found at least mildly humorous …


A bit of humour …

One of my many daily newsletters had this paragraph in talking about the comparison between the former guy and the UK’s Prime Minister Boris Johnson, affectionately called BoJo in the UK …

There’s been talk about how Biden and Johnson — whom the President’s predecessor referred to as “Britain Trump” — won’t get on. After all, Johnson, like the 45th US President, is a populist who won power by courting blue-collar grievance, had an itinerant love life, a distant acquaintance with the truth and a blond edifice on his head that defies gravity. 

That last part about the hair especially made…

Pirineji-Mon Perdi, Francuska, Španija – , France, Spain

Vivaldi translation of title and first sentence: Pyrenees-Mon ​​Perdi, France, Spain -, France, Spain
Despite the fact that over the past century, industrial development has fundamentally changed the habits of mountain communities across Europe, it is not uncommon in the spring to meet shepherds grazing their flocks on the higher slopes of the Pyrenees.

Myrela

Uprkos činjenici da je tokom prošlog vijeka industrijski razvoj iz temelja promijenio navike planinskih zajednica širom Evrope, nije neobično na proljeće sresti pastire kako izvode svoja stada na ispašu na višim padinama Pirineja. Ljetnja ispaša je način gajenja životinja koji su započeli neolitski polunomadski pastiri nastanjeni širom južne Evrope, a danas je karakteristična za male zajednice. Stari Evropljani su se prilagodili hladnoj klimi doline Mon Perdija (Monte Perdido na španskom) tokom paleolitskog doba, što dokazuju ostaci ljudskih naseobina koji datiraju iz vremena od prije 40.000 godina. Otada su stanovnici ovih oblasti živjeli s prirodom koja im je zadavala muke i čijim su se zahtjevima prilagođavali tokom milenijuma, ali ih ona, ipak, nije ugrožavala.

Sačinjen od Nacionalnog parka Ordesa i Monte Perdido u Španiji i Nacionalnog parka Zapadni Pirineji u Francuskoj, lokalitet koji UNESKO označava imenom Pirineji – Mon Perdi, površine gotovo 300 km², prostire se u centralnoj oblasti Pirineja koja…

Thoughtful Thursdays, Stayed on Freedom with the Call of Freedom, and Libraries as Safe Spaces

Context, Thought, and Learning: ShiraDest Offers Project Do Better

Who remembers the role that public libraries played in bringing neighbors together?

So, how do we each help our society to become more fully inclusive for all of us now, and to come and work together, for all of us?

I believe that attention to shared histories of times when a certain library in DC helped, may provide part of an answer.  I started a note about that, a few years ago, in my book Stayed on Freedom’s Call:

” …Carnegie Public Library. Some working class neighborhoods, such as the SW neighborhood where Al Jolson learned the speaking style he would later play on
stage, allowed limited mixing. The annual Easter Monday Egg Rolling contest was, however, the only officially non-segregated social event in the city for many years. Despite this, or because of it, Washington, DC was eventually
declared the most segregated city in the Union. That artificial…

Edamame Spicy Stix

snapshotsincursive

What’s Cooking in Gail’s Kitchen? The Chow Down: Edamame Spicy Stix! You’ve probably been to a restaurant where the server placed a bowl of edamame on the table, in lieu of the bread basket. Next to it was an empty bowl for placing the discarded pods. If it was a first for you, no worries. Friends, this is one time you are allowed to eat with your fingers. Truth. Simply pick up one pod with your fingers and put it in your mouth, not letting go. Bite down with your teeth and slide the beans out as you pull the pod away. Tender green beans, about the size of peas, will drop onto your tongue. Chew and enjoy the flavor sensation. Easily toss the pod into the empty bowl and reach for another. Who would’ve thought eating edamame could be this much fun?
