WHO says delta Covid variant has now spread to 80 countries and it keeps mutating Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 11:26 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies The delta variant has spread to more than 80 countries worldwide. Delta now makes up 10% of new cases in the U.S., up from 6% last week. The WHO added a new variant called lambda to its list of variants of interest. The delta Covid variant, first detected in India, has now spread to more than 80 countries and it continues to mutate as it spreads across the globe, World Health Organization officials said Wednesday. The variant now makes up 10% of all new cases in the United States, up from 6% last week. Studies have shown the variant is even more transmissible than other variants. WHO officials said some reports have found that it also causes more severe symptoms, but more research is needed to confirm those conclusions. - More -   China successfully launches mission sending astronauts to new space station Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 11:12 AM - Forum: Astronomy - No Replies Hong Kong (CNN)China successfully launched three astronauts into space on Thursday, bringing the country one step closer to completing its new space station.

The mission will send the crew to the core module of the planned space station, called Tiangong or Heavenly Palace, which is still under construction in a low Earth orbit. - More -   Families mourn the loss of loved ones who hesitated on the Covid-19 vaccine Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 11:08 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies Mike Lewis Jr. Tampa, Florida (CNN)Mike Lewis Jr. was on a call with the doctor last month when he heard the sudden and frantic beeping of machines. His father, also named Mike Lewis, was being treated for Covid-19 at a hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida. The doctor called to say Lewis' heart had stopped earlier in the day, but they revived him and put him on a ventilator. During that call, however, his heart stopped again. Lewis Jr. described hearing a chaotic scene in the background before the doctor quickly hung up. "The panic is starting," said Lewis, Jr., recalling the horrifying moment. "The tears are forming." Half an hour later, the doctor called back with the devastating news. Mike Lewis -- a towering man known as a protector and the life of any party -- had died at 58, just four days after being diagnosed with Covid. Lewis Jr., 37, is now one of thousands of people dealing with the painful loss of a loved one who didn't get a Covid-19 vaccine at a time when shots are readily available. Like many, his father was juggling multiple jobs and, and as his son put it, didn't make the vaccine a top priority. "I lost a piece of myself," said Lewis Jr. - More -   Report: Speaker says ‘rational’ for Parliament to only meet in Sept Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 11:02 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies Report: Speaker says ‘rational’ for Parliament to only meet in Sept, not too late for Covid-19 crisis KUALA LUMPUR, June 17 — Despite the Yang di-Pertuan Agong’s recommendation for Parliament to meet urgently, Speaker Datuk Azhar Azizan Harun said the government’s plan to only do so in September was acceptable and not too late to address Malaysia’s multiple crises. He was quoted in a report by Malay daily Utusan Malaysia as saying that he also did not see this as too late to address the mounting issues related to the Covid-19 pandemic. The last time Parliament sat was on December 14, 2020, and its meetings were suspended from January 12 this year due to the proclamation of Emergency. “The prime minister has the authority to set a date to convene Parliament with the consent of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong. - More -   Face the facts and shut the factories, says Hannah Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 10:54 AM - Forum: Covid-19 Pandemic - No Replies PETALING JAYA: A former deputy minister tonight questioned the rationale of allowing factories to operate during a total lockdown although a majority of Covid-19 clusters are coming from these sites. Hannah Yeoh said clusters linked to factories will not end if the National Security Council does not revise SOPs “For how long do we remain in total lockdown – children, restaurants, shops – when factories can remain open? Come on!,” Yeoh said in a tweet directed at senior ministers Ismail Sabri Yaakob and Azmin Ali. The former deputy women, family and community development minister also wondered if ministers studied the data or just “made announcements”. Today alone, 14 of the 19 Covid-19 clusters were related to the workplace. Eleven were linked to factories. Yesterday, health director-general Dr Noor Hisham Abdullah revealed that a total of 1,328 workplace clusters have been detected, involving 147,040 Covid-19 cases. Over 95,000 cases were linked to factories. - More -   Royal pressure makes it hard for PN to delay Parliament Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 10:49 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Analysts see yesterday’s royal call for the reconvening of Parliament as difficult for the government to ignore, coming as it did not only from the King, but his brother rulers as well. They say it would be considered as a mark of disrespect towards the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Malay rulers if the call is disobeyed. They note that it was the second time since the current state of emergency was declared that the King had voiced his view on the importance of having Parliament in session even during an emergency. The first time the King expressed a similar view was in February. Awang Azman Pawi of Universiti Malaya said the Perikatan Nasional administration had no choice but to heed the call this time around. - More -   Bursa dip since emergency shows lack of investor confidence Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 10:46 AM - Forum: Business. Economy and Investment - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The dip experienced by the Malaysian stock market since the state of emergency was announced in January reflects the weakness of the economy and investors’ lack of confidence in the country, according to economists. Since Jan 12, Bursa Malaysia has fallen 2.1% compared to the double-digit improvements seen in the stock market indexes of Singapore and Thailand as well as the 7% bump the Asian Dow has experienced. Yeah Kim Leng, a professor of economics at Sunway University, said the stock market could be a useful, if imperfect, measure of economic health that highlights specifics such as how investors project corporate performance and economic growth. “There are other things you can look at, like production numbers, exports and employment to get a full understanding of how the economy is doing, but the stock index reflects the uncertainties among investors,” he told FMT. - More -   Heed King’s decree or resign, PH tells Muhyiddin Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 10:43 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: The Pakatan Harapan presidential council has urged Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin not to delay or give excuses to prolong the suspension of Parliament. This comes following the statement by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah asking for Parliament to reconvene as soon as possible. “It is very clear that the prime minister needs to heed the decree and advise of the Yang di-Pertuan Agong on the reconvening of Parliament as soon as possible,” a statement by PKR president Anwar Ibrahim, Amanah president Mohamad Sabu and DAP secretary-general Lim Guan Eng this morning said. “If the prime minister continues to delay or give reasons to prolong the suspension of Parliament, it does not only mean that he refuses to heed the call, but it also gives the impression that he has lost confidence to govern. - More -   Enough of delay tactics, Umno man tells PM Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 10:41 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Prime Minister Muhyiddin Yassin must heed the decree by the Yang di-Pertuan Agong and the Malay rulers to reconvene Parliament as soon as possible, an Umno Supreme Council member said. Puad Zarkashi said following the announcement by Istana Negara, there should be no more “delay tactics” to prolong the suspension of Parliament. In a Facebook post, Puad also also criticised foreign minister Hishammuddin Hussein’s statement that although he agreed that Parliament should reconvene, it should not be used as a tool to wrest political power. “What about those who suspended Parliament for no good reason and have now failed?” he asked. - More -   King never specified when Parliament should reconvene, says law minister Posted by: superadmin - 06-17-2021, 10:38 AM - Forum: Politics - No Replies PETALING JAYA: Law minister Takiyuddin Hassan tonight pointed out that the Yang di-Pertuan Agong did not set a date on when Parliament should reconvene. He was referring to a statement from Istana Negara earlier today in which the King, Sultan Abdullah Sultan Ahmad Shah, said that he wanted Parliament to reconvene as soon as possible. “The King did not specify which month the sitting should be held. He only said as soon as possible ,” Takiyuddin said in an interview with Harakah Daily. “The prime minister has already said it will only reconvene in September or October,” he added, referring to the announcement made by Muhyiddin Yassin yesterday. In a statement, Comptroller of the Royal Household Ahmad Fadil Shamsuddin said the King was aware of Parliament’s important role in discussing issues involving Covid-19. Fadil said the King took this stand after being briefed by the special emergency committee and experts, adding that Parliament sittings would allow for the emergency ordinances and national recovery plan to be debated by MPs. - More - Pages (1039): « Previous 1 … 868 869 870 871 872 … 1039 Next » Jump to page:
