3 years after WHO’s highest Covid alert, pandemic still an emergency.

The United Nations Health Organization’s Emergency Committee on Covid-19 met last Friday for the 14th time since the crisis began. Following the meeting, WHO chief Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus “concurred with the advice presented by the Committee on the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and determined that the event was a public health event of international concern.” The state of emergency (PHEIC) will continue to be formed,” the organization said in a statement.

Tedros, he said, “recognizes the Committee’s views that the Covid-19 pandemic is likely at a transition point and advises the Committee to carefully navigate this transition and minimize potential negative consequences.” Appreciates.”

Ahead of the meeting, the WHO chief had suggested that the emergency phase of the pandemic was not over, pointing to the rising death toll and warning that the global response to the crisis was “shaky”.

“As we enter the fourth year of the pandemic, we are certainly in a much better position now than we were a year ago, when the Omicron wave was at its peak, reporting more than 70,000 deaths to the WHO every week. was going.” He told the committee at the start of Friday’s meeting.

Tedros said the weekly death rate fell below 10,000 in October but has been rising again since the start of December, while China’s lifting of Covid restrictions has increased deaths.

He said that in mid-January, around 40,000 weekly Covid deaths were reported – more than half of them in China – while the true number is “definitely much higher”.

Novel Coronavirus

The WHO first declared a so-called PHEIC because what was then called a novel coronavirus began spreading outside of China on January 30, 2020.

Although the declaration of PHEC is an internationally agreed mechanism for mobilizing a global response to such an outbreak, Tedros on March 11, 2020, declared the worsening situation of Covid as a pandemic. Many countries realized this danger only after doing so.

Globally, more than 752 million confirmed cases of Covid-19 have been reported to the WHO, including more than 6.8 million deaths, although the UN health agency always emphasizes that the true number is higher. The number is much higher.

Australia Exploring Small Radioactive Capsule

0

Rio Tinto Ltd (RIO.AX) apologized for losing tiny radioactive capsule.

It’s unclear how long the radioactive capsule has been missing, which was part of a gauge used to measure the density of iron ore feed.

On January 12, a specialist contractor picked up the gauge from Rio’s Gudai-Darri mine site. On Jan. 25, the gauge was discovered broken apart, with one of four mounting bolts missing and screws from the gauge also missing, when it was unpacked for inspection.

Authorities believe that vibrations from the truck caused the screws and bolt to come loose and that the radioactive capsule from the gauge fell out of the package and then through a gap in the truck.

Authorities are now tasked with searching along the truck’s 1,400-kilometer (870-mile) journey from the north of Newman, a small town in the remote Kimberley region, to a storage facility in Perth’s northeast suburbs – a distance longer than the length of the United Kingdom.

“We are very concerned about this incident. “We recognize that this is clearly very concerning and apologize for the concern it has caused in the Western Australian community,” said Rio’s iron ore division chief Simon Trott in a statement.

Caesium-137, which emits radiation equivalent to 10 X-rays per hour, is housed in a silver capsule that is 6 mm in diameter and 8 mm long.

Authorities Advice

The risk to the general public is modest, but authorities advise individuals to keep at least five meters (16.5 feet) away because radiation exposure can result in radiation sickness or burns.

The state’s emergency services department has created a hazard management team and brought in specialized tools, such as portable radiation survey meters that can be used from moving vehicles to assess radiation levels within a 20-meter radius.

Trott claimed that Rio had hired a third-party contractor with the necessary training and credentials to package and transport the gauge in a secure manner.

“We have completed radiological surveys of all areas on site where the device had been, as well as surveyed roads within the mine site as well as the access road leading away from the Gudai-Darri mine site,” he said, adding that Rio was also investigating how the loss occurred.

Analysts stated that transporting dangerous goods to and from mine sites was routine and that such incidents were extremely rare and did not reflect Rio’s poor safety standards.

The incident adds to the mining conglomerate’s headaches after it destroyed two ancient and sacred rock shelters in Western Australia‘s Pilbara region for an iron ore mine in 2020.

Why Young Student Get Allegedly Humiliated By The School?

0

Karachi student alleg humiliation at private school for speaking Urdu.

The father of the child created a video that has been going viral on social media in which he describes the incident in detail.

The child’s father said that his son was subjected to taunts at school for speaking Urdu and that black ink was painted on his face as retaliation for speaking in his native tongue.

The child’s father further claimed that his son was made fun of in front of other kids and that they were encouraged to tease him.

Additionally, the individual asserted that he had discussed the matter with the school administration. The management, however, asserted that it was powerless to intervene.

On the other hand, the Directorate of Private Schools became aware of the social media video and contacted the private school for a reaction.

The incident has not yet been confirmed or refuted, according to the directorate, but a three-person committee has been established to look into it.

As the video spread on social media, many people condemned the behavior and referred to it as an assault on the child’s mental health and self-worth.

A user posted on Twitter,

“Speaking in Urdu has become a felony,” claiming that “a kid was humiliated and had black ink put to his face at Civilization School in Karachi for speaking in Urdu.”

Language Argument

The video brought to light a societal problem with the nation’s rapidly spreading English-prioritization culture.

There has been much discussion in social and cultural circles about how Pakistan, where English is one of the official languages, has been giving less emphasis to its national and regional languages.

Many contend that emphasizing English so much harms not only the development of the language but also students, whose first tongue is frequently not Urdu.
