Global COVID-19 deaths climb; hot spot locations shift | CIDRAP

Global COVID-19 cases declined a bit last week, but the number of deaths rose to record levels, as hot spots within world regions shift and more countries report the detection of variant SARS-CoV-2 strains, the World Health Organization (WHO) said yesterday in its regular weekly update.

Small drop in cases but 9% rise in deaths

Cases were down 6%, partly led by declines in parts of Europe and the Americas. Deaths, however, increased by 9%, with the world reporting a record weekly high of 93,000, the WHO said, noting that hospitalizations and deaths are a lagging indicator.

Illness levels rose in the Eastern Mediterranean, African, and Western Pacific regions. In the Middle East, countries reporting recent large spikes include Lebanon and the United Arab Emirates. In Africa, cases fell in South Africa, the continent’s main hot spot, but were up sharply in Nigeria and Zambia. And in the WHO’s Western Pacific region, Japan reported the most cases, but Malaysia and the Philippines reported steep rises.

In another example of shifts among regions, cases in the Americas were down slightly, by 2%, mainly due to a decline in the United States, but Brazil and Colombia both registered double-digit rises.

Amanda Gorman’s inauguration poem steals the show and the hearts of Twitter

As Joe Biden became the 46th President of the United States on Wednesday, Jan. 20, 2021, Los Angeles native Amanda Gorman’s poem took center stage and made a lasting impression on the attendees and those on social media.

The 22-year-old is the youngest poet ever to appear at a presidential inauguration. From her words to her bright yellow coat, both her verses and outfit served to be a source of motivation for Twitter users. This is what they had to say:

The combination of Garth singing and Amanda Gorman reciting poetry is powerful. Very nice.
