The Resurgence of COVID-19: Another Wave Hits the World

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com September 1, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

It seems that the world is facing a new wave of Corona virus. More than three years have passed since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic. While many hoped that we had witnessed the last of the major outbreaks, the reality is that we are facing another wave.

The good news is that the US Centers for Disease Control and Control (CDC) estimates that 97 percent of people (in the US) have some immunity through vaccinations against COVID-19 or infection, or both. Which may apply to other countries.

“At this point, the risk is lower because of our prior immunity, both for severe outcomes and for long-term Covid,” said Dr. Megan Raney, an emergency physician and dean of the Yale School of Public Health.

However, she pointed out that “Covid is still more dangerous than influenza, but its level of severity has become lower.” She indicated that we are still very early in our human experience with the Corona virus, as after three years and more have passed since its outbreak, we still do not know information about it. “However, it is expected to behave like other respiratory viruses in terms of seasonality and high number of infections,” she added.

She explained that the situation with him is just like the flu. Corona virus is expected to cause diseases. As with influenza, this means that some COVID-19 illnesses will be severe enough to require hospitalization and even death. However, expectations of an increase in the size of the infection and its decline to some extent do not allow us to neglect “Covid 19”. According to what was published by the American (NBC News) website.

The newest variant of Covid has been named (BA.2.86). It was newly detected in Denmark and Israel, according to the CDC, which said the variant was notable because it has multiple genetic differences from previous variants of the virus. Several cases have been identified in the United States.

So far, current diagnostic tests and drugs used to treat COVID-19 appear to be effective with (BA.2.86).

COVID-19 test

There are no real changes to the way we test for coronavirus (COVID-19). People can use the rapid test at home. If your test result is positive, you can be confident that the result is accurate and reliable. However, a negative test may not be reliable because rapid tests are less likely to detect the virus than the more reliable PCR tests.

“To be confident that you do not have COVID-19, the FDA recommends two negative tests for people with symptoms, or three tests for those without symptoms, done 48 hours apart,” the CDC states.

isolation period?

According to the US Centers for Disease Control and Control (CDC), if you test positive but don’t develop any symptoms, you must self-isolate for five days and can return to work or school on the sixth day. The CDC recommends wearing a high-quality face mask when socializing for three days after returning to work or school unless you tested negative twice within 48 hours after a five-day isolation.

If you test positive and have symptoms, you can leave your home five days after your fever is over (without using any fever-reducing medication) and then you must wear a quality mask for three days.

Recommendations

Here are some other general recommendations from the US Centers for Disease Control and Control (CDC):

Get COVID-19 vaccinations, as recommended.

Stay home if you are sick.

Take a coronavirus test, if necessary.

Seek treatment if you are injured and at risk of severe illness.

Wear a good quality mask.

-wash your hands

Good ventilation of the house.

As for treatments, the CDC recommends that you contact your healthcare provider right away to determine the best treatment.

Corona confined the human being.. so life came into the environment

Goats frolicking in Wales

When people are gone, goats come to frolic in the cities. In the Welsh coastal town of Llandudno, the empty streets have led to a herd of wild Kashmiri goats roaming the town undisturbed. And in the absence of humans, another benefit for the goats is that it allows them to enjoy their favorite meal: hedges around buildings!

Planet of the Apes?

In Thailand, the streets of Lopburi city witnessed wars between groups of monkeys caused by food. The decrease in the number of tourists in the country led to a shortage of food for the monkeys, prompting the hungry animals to invade the city streets and fight for food.

Fresh air in Kathmandu

Unfortunately, the absence of humans in the past period showed that their presence was not always a good thing for the Earth. The capital of Nepal is one of the most polluted cities in the world due to the influx of tourists every year. As for the social isolation measures and the almost complete suspension of transportation in the city, the air quality has improved significantly.

The weather in Germany has improved

In Germany, too, emissions of greenhouse gases, which cause environmental pollution, have decreased. As the lack of movement of cars, the flight of planes, and the lack of work in factories led to a decrease in carbon dioxide emissions, which may lead to Germany reaching its climate goal that it set for the year 2020, in the event that the situation does not return to the way it was before.

When a gondola wears a cap

Quiet returns to Venice, Italy. The city’s water channels, which are usually bustling with tourists all year round, have become completely empty, making the water clearer and the bottom can be seen. A city spokesperson told CNN that the reason for this is not only the improved water quality, but also the lack of boat traffic that stirs up sediment from the bottom, making the water murky.

End of the environment break

Despite the continued social isolation and the restriction of production movement in most cities of the world, things are beginning to return to normal in China, as we can see in the battery factory shown in the picture in the eastern city of Anhui. Despite the origin of the Corona virus in China, the numbers indicate that it has passed the peak of the pandemic, which means that things will return to what they were before, to end with this resting environment from human activities.

US Representatives Visit Pro-Turkish Opposition-Controlled Region in Syria

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 28, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

3 members of the US House of Representatives made a rare visit, Sunday, to a region in North America Syria It is controlled by pro-Turkish opposition factions, according to a team from the French Press Agency at the site.

Representatives “French Hill”, “Ben Klein” and “Scott Fitzgerald” visited a hospital in the city of Azaz (Aleppo Governorate), coming from Turkey via the Bab al-Salama border crossing, where they were greeted with a banner reading “Welcome to Free Syria”, surrounded by the flags of the revolution. Syrian.

“The aim of the visit is to see the reality in the liberated areas,” said Yasser al-Hajji, a public relations official in the Turkish-backed interim government, to Agence France-Presse.

The deputies met orphans due to the war that has claimed more than half a million people since 2011, before the visit was shortened for security reasons, according to what one of their companions told AFP.

Hayat Tahrir al-Sham controls about half of the area of the province of Idlib (northwest) and adjacent areas in the provinces of Aleppo, Latakia and Hama.

There are also other less influential opposition factions, supported by Türkiye to varying degrees.

The director of the Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, Rami Abdel Rahman, indicated that “to avoid causing controversy in the United States, they did not go to Jendires, in the areas controlled by Hay’at Tahrir al-Sham.”

Despite declaring its affiliation with al-Qaeda, Washington still classifies the organization as a “terrorist” organization.

Abdul Rahman added, “Members of Congress wanted to evaluate the work of the interim government, in order to study the possibility of sending humanitarian aid through Bab al-Salamah instead of Bab al-Hawa,” which is controlled by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham.

On Sunday, the American representatives met with the director of the “White Helmets” organization, the Civil Defense in the areas controlled by the opposition and jihadist factions in and around Idlib, Raed al-Saleh.

“The meeting touched on the importance of continuing cross-border aid in light of the growing humanitarian needs after the catastrophic devastating earthquake,” which struck Turkey and Syria in February, killing tens of thousands, said a statement by the White Helmets on the X platform.

The organization also indicated that the two sides discussed “the popular movement taking place in the Syrian regions, the importance of confronting attempts to float the Assad regime and impunity for the atrocities it committed, and the need to strengthen accountability and hold perpetrators accountable.”

Under the United Nations mechanism established in 2014, Bab al-Hawa is the only gateway for aid to enter northwestern Syria from Turkey, without the permission of the Syrian government.

On July 11, this mechanism, which Damascus denounced as a violation of its sovereignty, was not extended before the United Nations announced in early August an agreement with the Syrian regime that would allow the delivery of aid for a period of six months through the Bab al-Hawa crossing.

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 25, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

25/08/2023 at 18:24 (Doha time)

The US Aeronautics and Space Administration “NASA” and the US Space Exploration Technologies Corporation “SpaceX” today announced the postponement of the launch of the “Crew-7 – Crew-7” mission to the International Space Station, until tomorrow, Saturday, after it was scheduled to be launched today.

And “SpaceX” indicated in a post on the “X” platform, previously Twitter, that the decision to postpone the launch came to give mission managers an additional opportunity to process any remaining work.

“The mission managers met and chose to delay the launch of the Creo-7 crew by 24 hours to allow more time to do some work,” said NASA spokesman Rob Navias.

The vehicle, which will be launched from the Kennedy Space Center in Florida, will carry NASA astronaut Jasmine Mogbili, European Space Agency astronaut Andreas Mogensen, Japanese Aerospace Exploration Agency astronaut Satoshi Furukawa, and Russian Konstantin Borisov.

They are expected to spend six months on the International Space Station, replacing the current crew of four astronauts.

This will be SpaceX’s seventh mission to the space station for NASA, and it will be Elon Musk’s eleventh spaceflight mission.

It is noteworthy that the “Crew-6” mission launched on board the “Falcon 9” rocket from the “Kennedy Space Center” in the state of “Florida” last March, carrying four astronauts.

Former US President Donald Trump Arrested and Photographed in Historic Criminal Case

by Chief editor of world-today-news.com August 25, 2023

written by Chief editor of world-today-news.com

Frowning, furrowing his eyebrows, and staring at the camera, these were his features Former US President Donald Trump In a historical criminal photograph taken of him Thursday inside a prison in the state of Georgia during his brief arrest in the case of tampering with the results of the presidential elections.

This snapshot of the Republican billionaire will go down in history as the first criminal photo of a former US president.

Trump denounced a “judicial farce” after his official arrest Thursday on charges of extortion and conspiracy in Georgia, describing what happened as “election interference.”

“a judicial farce”

And he said Trump “What happened here is a judicial farce. We did nothing wrong. I didn’t do anything wrong,” he told reporters as he prepared to fly out of Atlanta, after he was briefly arrested and forensically photographed at the Fulton County Jail. “What they are doing is interference in the elections,” he added.

Trump did not specify who he accused of meddling, but he had previously denounced President Joe Biden and other Democrats, claiming that they were obstructing his re-election campaign. After taking his measurements, the former president was released on bail.

Trump had gone Thursday afternoon to the state of Georgia to surrender himself in one of its prisons, where his fingerprints were taken, in preparation for his trial on charges of attempting to manipulate the outcome of the 2020 presidential election, in the fourth criminal trial in which he is being prosecuted while seeking to return to the White House.

Trump attended Fulton County Prison in Atlanta, Georgia, where the judiciary charged him and 18 other people with “extortion” and committing a number of crimes in an effort to overturn the outcome of the 2020 elections in this key state that Biden won.

Before leaving for Atlanta, the state capital, the Republican billionaire wrote in a post on his social media platform, Truth, that it was “another sad day in America.”

Trump had previously written on the same platform that he was preparing to surrender himself to prison authorities in Fulton County at 19:30 (23:30 GMT). He added that he was being prosecuted “because I had the courage to question a fraudulent and stolen election.”

The arrest procedures mean that the accused’s fingerprints are taken and forensic photographs are taken before he is released on bail, the value of which was set in Trump’s case at $ 200,000.

Ten other defendants in this case had previously surrendered themselves in this prison, and all of them were released on bail, the last of whom was the former chief of staff at the White House, Mark Meadows, who paid a $100,000 bail and got out.

There is a single defendant in this case who was kept behind bars after he turned himself in, Harrison Floyd, and he was detained because he did not previously conclude an agreement with the judiciary to pay bail in exchange for his release.

Rice Street prison has become a magnet for journalists from all over the world, as they have been gathering in front of it for days under huge tents to cover the event of Trump’s surrender.

And all the defendants in this case who entered this prison to surrender themselves, and some of them under cover of night, got out of it to find their criminal photos that were taken of them inside it topping the news headlines.

Present absent from the Republican debates

Support for Trump is growing five months before the start of the primaries to select the Republican candidate for the 2024 US presidential elections, but many criminal cases overshadow his attempt to return to the White House.

Trump’s surrender to the Georgia authorities comes hours after the first debate in Milwaukee for the Republican primaries, in which the controversial billionaire chose not to participate, claiming that opinion polls confirm his lead by a large margin over the rest of his competitors.

Despite his absence from the debate, Trump was the most prominent present in it.

The debate began in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, minutes after far-right broadcaster Tucker Carlson’s taped interview with Trump was broadcast on platform X.

“I decided it would be best for me not to participate in the debate. Do I sit there for an hour or two … and get harassed by people who shouldn’t even be running for president?” Trump said.

Trump confirmed that the charges against him in the four cases are “frivolous, meaningless and contrived,” accusing Biden of harnessing the Ministry of Justice to obstruct his attempt to reach the White House.

Attack on the American Constitution

Security was tight ahead of Trump’s arrival at the Fulton County Jail, a notoriously unsafe, unclean and vermin-infested detention center that is being investigated by the Justice Department after the deaths of several inmates.

By his arrival in prison on Thursday, Trump officially changed the attorney who will represent him in Georgia. No explanation was given as to why Trump replaced attorney Drew Findling with attorney Seven Sadow, one of the most prominent Atlanta attorneys, knowing that both men are accustomed to defending celebrities.

But Sado has in the past criticized the organized crime law that Fulton County District Attorney Fanny Willis has relied on to bring charges in this case.

These charges carry a prison sentence of between five and twenty years.

Willis had set a deadline of Friday noon (1600 GMT) for the defendants to appear voluntarily and turn themselves in.

Trump has not had to endure the indignity of being photographed on the three occasions he has been arrested this year: in New York on charges of paying to silence a pornographic actress, in Florida for mishandling top-secret government documents, and in Washington on charges of plotting to overturn his 2020 loss to Biden.

However, Fulton County Sheriff Pat Labatt told reporters earlier this month that when it comes to arrests at the prison, “whatever your situation is, we’ll be willing to take your picture.”

In turn, former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, accused of helping Trump manipulate the elections, turned himself in on Wednesday to Georgia state authorities, who later released him on $150,000 bail.

Giuliani said on Wednesday he had spoken to Trump to wish him luck when he turns himself in Thursday.

Upon leaving prison after posting bail, Giuliani attacked the judicial authorities, stressing that “what they are doing to him is an attack on the American Constitution.”

Among the defendants in this case are Mark Meadows, Trump’s chief of staff, and John Eastman, a conservative lawyer.

The defendants in this case are supposed to all return to Atlanta in the week of September 5, to appear this time before the court and inform it whether or not they will plead not guilty of the charges against them.

Four trials during the election season

Trump faces four criminal trials next year during the Republican primary season that begins in January and at the height of the presidential campaign in November 2024.

Special Attorney General Jack Smith submitted a proposal to start Trump’s trial in January on charges of conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 elections and a campaign of lies that were behind the attack on the Capitol building on January 6, 2021, which was carried out by Trump supporters.

On the other hand, the lawyers for the former president requested that April 2026 be set as the date for the start of the trial of their client on the federal charges against him, which is conspiracy to overturn the results of the 2020 elections. The date requested by the lawyers is relatively far from the presidential elections scheduled for next year.

On August 28, Judge Tanya Chutkan is scheduled to issue her decision on the start date of the trial.

Attorney General Fanny Willis requested that the fourth of March be set as the date for the start of Trump’s trial in the case of fraud in the presidential election results in the state of Georgia, the same month that the former president is scheduled to stand trial in New York in the criminal charges against him in the case of falsifying documents related to He paid pornographic actress Stormy Daniels to cover up an alleged affair.

In May next year, Trump is scheduled to appear before a grand jury in Florida in a case in which he is accused of violating the anti-espionage law.
