India has administered more than 1 billion Covid-19 vaccine doses, a remarkable feat just months after a second wave of infection killed thousands of people across the country. But as India celebrated passing the milestone on Thursday, some experts warned the pandemic threat was not over - in a nation of 1.3 billion, millions of people are yet to receive any dose at all. So far, India has fully vaccinated just 30% of its adult population and given one dose to 74%, according to India's Ministry of Health on October 16. Those statistics don't include children under 18 who make up 41% of India's population and aren't yet eligible for the jab. But even as India races to fully vaccinate its adult population, the country is opening up and exporting millions of vaccine doses. On Friday, the first foreign tourists arrived in the country after an almost 18-month pause, and within the country millions are traveling to celebrate various festivals, with movement expected to increase in November during Diwali, the Hindu festival of lights." Experts fear that interstate travel and the possibility of new variants could lead to a third surge in infection - leaving unvaccinated people and children most at risk. "It's difficult to predict because the global experience shows that things could turn sour at any point of time," said Dr. Anant Bhan, a global health and policy expert from the central Indian city of Bhopal. "But the trend in India right now is very encouraging. The number of vaccines administered is high and there is no upswing in cases." Up to 8 million doses are being administered on a typical day, but the Indian Medical Association is calling for the government to cease exports until more people are vaccinated at home.

Second Covid wave beat vaccines India has had two waves of Covid-19 - one last year before vaccines were available, and the second that began only weeks into the country's ambitious inoculation program earlier this year. The first doses started rolling out in January to vulnerable citizens and frontline workers, part of a priority group of 300 million people - almost as many people as the entire US population. At the same time, millions of doses of Covishield - the AstraZeneca vaccine produced in India - were being exported to other countries and the global vaccine-sharing platform COVAX.

Some desperately posted for help on social media, hopeful to secure a hospital bed or medical oxygen. In April - weeks before cases peaked at more than 400,000 a day - vaccine supplies dried up, with at least five out of India's 29 states reporting severe shortages. Several districts in the western state of Maharashtra had to temporarily suspend vaccination drives, including more than 70 centers in financial capital Mumbai, according to the state's health minister, Rajesh Tope. The government faced widespread criticism for its handling of the crisis. For many, Modi underplayed the severity of the pandemic. Authorities belatedly ramped up the vaccination program, and in August more vaccination centers were opened and education campaigns rolled out in rural areas.

Melanie McTighe and her 92-year-old father live in the same city, but they haven't been able to see each other for almost four months. That changed on Monday as Sydney, Australia's largest city and the capital of New South Wales, emerges from a strict lockdown imposed in June to contain a Delta outbreak. McTighe said she's "excited" to start her life again and see her loved ones, but she's worried about what having Covid-19 in the community might mean for the city of 5.3 million people. "I think until everyone has a better understanding of this thing and how it keeps changing, we have to be concerned," she said.

For more than 18 months, Australia has shut itself off from the world, closing borders and imposing strict lockdowns to stamp out Covid-19 outbreaks in an attempt to eliminate the virus. Now, Australia is emerging from its so-called "cave" and trying to live with it. From Monday, fully vaccinated Sydneysiders, who make up more than 70% of the city's adults, can return to restaurants, bars and gyms - and many like McTighe are now able to reunite with loved ones in aged care after months apart.
But all that hard-earned freedom will come at a cost - national modeling suggests Sydney will see thousands of new infections and inevitable deaths. Questions remain about how the hospital system will cope with any surge of new cases, the impact on vulnerable people and how quickly Sydney can adapt to living with Covid. What happens next will be critical for both the city and Australia. But other zero-Covid countries in the Asia-Pacific region will also be watching closely to see if Sydney can succeed in keeping case numbers and deaths low enough to avoid overwhelming hospitals, while still allowing business to resume and people to get on with their lives. Diners sit at a cafe in Sydney, Australia on October 11 as the city emerges from lockdown. Diners sit at a cafe in Sydney, Australia on October 11 as the city emerges from lockdown. The end of zero Covid For the first year of the pandemic, Australia was one of the few major nations to successfully control Covid-19, through strict border restrictions, mandatory quarantine and temporary lockdowns. But in June a Delta outbreak in Sydney quickly spread to the neighboring state of Victoria and the Australian Capital Territory (ACT). Delays to Australia's vaccination rollout, partly due to low supplies, left the population vulnerable - forcing authorities to impose local lockdowns. Analysis: Australia beat the world on shutting out Covid. Now it is bitterly divided on how to reopen Analysis: Australia beat the world on shutting out Covid. Now it is bitterly divided on how to reopen "I was always of the belief that we could have eliminated the non-Delta Covid … but I concede lockdowns with Delta are often going to be an unwinnable contest," said Mary-Louise McLaws, professor of infectious disease epidemiology at University of New South Wales (UNSW). As case numbers rose, it became clear that keeping people inside was unsustainable - for economic and health reasons - and Australian authorities came up with a plan to vaccinate the country out of the pandemic. With early supply issues resolved, the vaccination program went into overdrive. Last week, NSW became the first state to reach the initial 70% double vaccination target. Other states are expected to reach that number in the coming weeks, and by the end of the year the entire country is expected to open up. But experts warn it's not without potential dangers - and some people are bearing more of the risk than others. Reopening Australia Australia's reopening plan is built around total adult vaccination rates in each state, but inoculation statistics are not evenly spread. In some suburban areas of Sydney, full vaccination rates are as low as 30%, according to government figures. The state's Indigenous population is also trailing statewide numbers. For example, as of October 6, fewer than half of Indigenous people aged 15 or over on the NSW Central Coast had received both vaccine doses. That's a problem because Indigenous people generally suffer more chronic health issues than non-Indigenous people, putting them at greater risk of Covid complications. And young people are also of concern. In NSW, only 58% of people age 16 to 29 have been fully vaccinated - the lowest of any age group besides 12 to 15-year-olds, who were only recently given access to vaccines. Customers line up to enter a store in Sydney on October 11 after more than 100 days of lockdown. Customers line up to enter a store in Sydney on October 11 after more than 100 days of lockdown. McLaws from UNSW said young people are likely to be among the first to take advantage of the freedoms afforded by reopening, so ensuring they are fully vaccinated is especially important. She compared it to patches of dry kindling which, if ignored, could eventually spark a bushfire. "Young people, they start the fire, and then those groups that are at risk … are the vulnerable and the Indigenous population and just generally regional areas outside the big cities," she said. Australia's strict border controls and quarantine measures allowed the country to avoid the chaos experienced in other countries in 2020, when Covid cases spilled over from hospitals into temporary medical units. However, despite 18 months of preparation, health groups have warned the NSW hospital system may not be able to cope with a surge of new infections. Qantas repatriation flight sets aviation record Qantas repatriation flight sets aviation record Last month the NSW Nurses and Midwives Association urged the state government to boost staffing levels, citing research showing the system was under pressure even before the latest Covid outbreak. And on Thursday, after NSW's new premier announced a speedier reopening plan, Omar Khorshid, head of the Australian Medical Association, urged authorities not be "reckless". "The ultimate outcomes of opening too fast or too early will be avoidable deaths and the reintroduction of lockdowns and other restrictions - things no-one in NSW wants to see," he said in a statement. "Sydney must take this opportunity to show the rest of the country how to live with COVID whilst protecting health and health care." Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said the country's states have had 18 months to prepare for higher Covid cases - and the "planning is well in place." He also urged Australians to play a role in taking pressure off the system. "Where there's no cases, or whether there's 500 cases, or indeed 1,500 cases a day.

A dictator's son. A former actor. A champion boxer. A diverse field of candidates have put up their hands to succeed Philippines President Rodrigo Duterte, who is stepping down after a single six-year term in line with the Philippines constitution. Although the 2022 presidential election campaign is yet to begin, the machinations and drama are well underway. Friday was the final day for candidates to announce their intention to run. Among those who officially filed are Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., the son of a former Philippines dictator; Manny Pacquiao, a senator and former boxing champion; Vice President and Duterte critic Leni Robredo; and Isko Moreno, the mayor of Manila and a former actor. Richard Heydarian, professor of history and political science at the Philippines' Polytechnic University, says there is no clear frontrunner. "It is going to be highly, highly competitive," he added. The Philippines has only one round of voting, unlike many countries such as France, where there is a second ballot between the two most popular candidates. This means that whoever is in front at the end of counting will become president - no matter how small their total share of votes. In a tight race, the prize could go to anyone. And the stakes are high. With China and the US increasingly treating the Indo-Pacific as a staging ground for their global showdown, the Philippines will likely come under growing economic and geopolitical pressure, particularly as a claimant to part of the South China Sea. During his time in office, Duterte aligned the Philippines closer to Beijing, publicly stating his "love" for President Xi Jinping as the leaders explored the possibility of joint resource contracts in the South China Sea. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte speaks during the annual state of the nation address at the House of Representatives in Manila on July 26. Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte speaks during the annual state of the nation address at the House of Representatives in Manila on July 26. At home, he has cracked down on civil society and sparked a bloody war on drugs that has claimed the lives of more than 6,000 people, according to police.
And there are signs he may not be willing to let his influence go so easily. After accepting his party's candidacy for vice president, Duterte announced last week he would be retiring from politics. Critics have pointed out Duterte also announced his retirement in 2015 before he changed his mind and ran for president. Not only that, but his daughter - Davao Mayor Sara Duterte-Carpio - still has a month to decide if she'll run for president as a substitute candidate. Duterte has a personal incentive to retain some control over the future government: he's facing an investigation by the International Criminal Court into his war on drugs and his successor could influence how much access they get to the Philippines. Journalist Maria Ressa, the 2021 Nobel Peace Prize winner and president and chief executive of local media outlet Rappler, said the 2022 elections were "existential for democracy." "We're at the edge of a cliff … whoever wins will determine whether we'll have rule of law, whether our economy can grow, whether we can survive the virus, whether our society can heal," she said. The dictator's son In a post to his official Facebook page on Tuesday, the son of the man accused of imprisoning, torturing and impoverishing the Filipino people asked his supporters to join him in "the noblest of causes." Marcos Jr., known colloquially as "Bongbong," announced he would run for president in the 2022 election, pitching himself as a unifying candidate who could bring the country together after the ravages of the Covid-19 pandemic. The date of his announcement was inauspicious - it came just after the 49th anniversary of his father, Philippines dictator Ferdinand Marcos, imposing martial law on the country. Former Philippine senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., son of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, speaks after filing his candidacy in Pasay on October 6. Former Philippine senator Ferdinand "Bongbong" Marcos Jr., son of former dictator Ferdinand Marcos, speaks after filing his candidacy in Pasay on October 6. Marcos ruled the country with an iron fist for two-and-a-half decades before he was deposed by a popular protest in 1986. The Marcos family profited greatly from its time in power, with some experts estimating a net gain of more than $10 billion during the patriarch's dictatorship. Marcos Jr. has claimed many of the allegations against his family are slanderous. But human rights groups in the Philippines are horrified at the prospect of a member of the Marcos family running for the country's highest position. Protesters rallied outside the Commission on Human Rights building in Manila on Wednesday to show their disgust. Philippines rights groups decry presidential bid of late dictator's son Philippines rights groups decry presidential bid of late dictator's son "The Marcoses remain scot-free from jail, they haven't returned all the money that they got from the nation's coffers, and now they are making a comeback for the highest position in the land. That is just plain, shameless gall," Cristina Palabay of rights group Karapatan told Reuters. Duterte has not been ashamed to tie himself to the Marcos family. There were even suggestions he might join Marcos Jr.'s ticket as candidate for vice president. "That's the plan!" Marcos Jr. said Wednesday, according to ABS-CBN. Ressa said Duterte's popularity in the south of the Philippines, combined with Marcos' popularity in the north, would create a formidable force. Heydarian added the Marcos family had "grassroots support, resources and message discipline," but their history would not play well with a population concerned about corruption. "The issue of corruption is very, very sensitive for a lot of people," he said. Journalist speaks after being convicted by Duterte government 01:29 The boxer Pacquiao's skill as a boxer is unquestionable. After a 26-year career, he is considered one of the greatest boxers of all time, the only man to hold world titles in eight different divisions. But the 42-year-old's skill as a politician is far less clear - and something he will have to prove if he is going to be successful when he runs for president. Highly charismatic and proudly Christian, Pacquiao was first elected to the Philippines senate in 2016, saying he wanted to help the country's underprivileged. Pacquiao has said he lived in extreme poverty when he was young, selling candy and cigarettes to make ends meet. As a teenager he worked as a laborer to help his family - now he is a multimillionaire.

The Facebook whistleblower who released tens of thousands of pages of internal research and documents indicating the company was aware of various problems caused by its apps, including Instagram's potential "toxic" effect on teen girls, called on Congress to take action against the social media platform in testimony before a Senate subcommittee Tuesday. Frances Haugen, a 37-year-old former Facebook product manager who worked on civic integrity issues at the company, faced questions from a Commerce subcommittee about what Facebook-owned Instagram knew about its effects on young users, among other issues. After a bad day, Facebook suffers major outage After a bad day, Facebook suffers major outage "I am here today because I believe that Facebook's products harm children, stoke division, and weaken our democracy," she said during her opening remarks. "The company's leadership knows how to make Facebook and Instagram safer but won't make the necessary changes because they have put their astronomical profits before people. Congressional action is needed. They won't solve this crisis without your help." She emphasized that she came forward "at great personal risk" because she believes "we still have time to act. But we must act now." Urging Congress to take action Haugen's identity as the Facebook whistleblower was revealed on "60 Minutes" Sunday night. She previously shared a series of documents with regulators and the Wall Street Journal, which published a multi-part investigation showing that Facebook was aware of problems with its apps, including the negative effects of misinformation and the harm caused by Instagram, especially to young girls.
"When we realized tobacco companies were hiding the harms it caused, the government took action," she said in her opening remarks. "When we figured out cars were safer with seat belts, the government took action. And today, the government is taking action against companies that hid evidence on opioids. I implore you to do the same here." Following the hearing, Facebook issued a statement attempting to discredit Haugen. "Today, a Senate Commerce subcommittee held a hearing with a former product manager at Facebook who worked for the company for less than two years, had no direct reports, never attended a decision-point meeting with C-level executives - and testified more than six times to not working on the subject matter in question," the statement, tweeted by spokesperson Andy Stone, read. "We don't agree with her characterization of the many issues she testified about. Despite all this, we agree on one thing; it's time to begin to create standard rules for the internet." Facebook is no stranger to scandals, and it's not the first time the company has been the subject of Congressional hearings. Nor is it the first time Facebook's public image has been shaken by a whistleblower. But Haugen's documents and upcoming testimony come amid broader scrutiny of Facebook's power and data privacy practices, and have already spurred bipartisan criticism of the company's influence on children. It remains to be seen, however, if it will create momentum for any meaningful regulation. From outage to outrage The testimony came after a tumultuous day for the company. Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram went down for about six hours on Monday. In her testimony, Haugen said, "Yesterday, we saw Facebook get taken off the internet. I don't know why it went down, but I know that for more than 5 hours Facebook wasn't used to deepen divides, destabilize democracies, and make young girls and women feel bad about their bodies." She added: "It also means that millions of small businesses weren't able to reach potential customers and countless photos of new babies weren't joyously celebrated by family and friends around the world. I believe in the potential of Facebook. We can have social media we enjoy, that connects us, without tearing apart our democracy, putting our children in danger and sowing ethnic violence across the world. We can do better." Facebook whistleblower revealed on '60 Minutes,' says the company prioritized profit over public good Facebook whistleblower revealed on '60 Minutes,' says the company prioritized profit over public good Beyond the documents, there's also the power of Haugen's personal backstory. She started at Facebook in 2019 after previously working for other prominent tech companies including Google (GOOG) and Pinterest (PINS). She spoke with the Wall Street Journal about losing a friendship due to online misinformation and how it impacted the way she thinks about social media. She also told the publication her goal in speaking out isn't to bring down Facebook but to "save it." About a month ago, Haugen reportedly filed at least eight complaints with the Securities and Exchange Commission alleging that the company is hiding research about its shortcomings from investors and the public. She also shared the documents with regulators and the Journal, which published a multi-part investigation showing that Facebook was aware of problems with its apps, including the negative effects of misinformation and the harm caused by Instagram, especially to young girls. Facebook issues will 'haunt a generation,' Senator says Democratic Sen. Richard Blumenthal, who chairs the Senate Commerce subcommittee on consumer protection, expressed "heartfelt gratitude" to Haugen for "standing up to one of the most powerful, implacable corporate giants in the history of the world." He added: "The damage to self-interest and self-worth inflicted by Facebook today will haunt a generation." Antigone Davis, Facebook's global head of safety, was grilled by members of the same Senate subcommittee last week following the Journal report about the impact its apps have on younger users. Davis, who identified herself as a mother and former teacher, pushed back on the idea that the report was a "bombshell" and did not commit to publicly releasing a full research report, noting potential "privacy considerations." She said Facebook is "looking for ways to release more research." The Journal report, and the renewed pressure from lawmakers in its aftermath, also appeared to force Instagram to rethink its plans to introduce a version of its service for kids under 13. Days before the hearing, Instagram said it would press pause on the project. "Facebook's actions make clear that we cannot trust it to police itself," Blumenthal said in the statement Sunday. "We must consider stronger oversight, effective protections for children, and tools for parents, among the needed reforms." https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-cinderella-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-the-french-dispatch-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-spider-man-no-way-home-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-black-widow-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-army-of-thieves-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-queenpins-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-after-we-fell-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-f9-the-fast-saga-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-spencer-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-jungle-cruise-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-dont-look-up-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-the-matrix-resurrections-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-infinite-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-the-tragedy-of-macbeth-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-pig-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-eternals-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-last-night-in-soho-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-escape-room-tournament-of-champions-2021-full-movie-online-free-2/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-birds-of-paradise-2021-full-movie-online-free-2/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-wrath-of-man-2021-full-movie-online-free-2/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-dont-breathe-2-2021-full-movie-online-free-2/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-house-of-gucci-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-prisoners-of-the-ghostland-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-my-son-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-nightbooks-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-reminiscence-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-mortal-kombat-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-copshop-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-coming-home-in-the-dark-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://medlockandsons.com/advert/123movies-hd-watch-thalaivi-2021-full-movie-online-free/ https://onlinegdb.com/XPlfyVvg8 https://steemkr.com/online-full/@diasangat/hd-key-things-the-facebook-whistleblower-told-a-senate-panel https://ecency.com/news/@peruttari/hd-key-things-the-facebook https://paiza.io/projects/kKMmthtI_QR5aDF0pZkqNg?language=php https://jsfiddle.net/kuliopaham/fc6ed4g8/1/ https://www.peeranswer.com/question/615cfddb175de5f9102931b0 https://ideone.com/KSwbOa http://paste.jp/0246c507/ https://rentry.co/7p7hw https://paste.centos.org/view/0fc47998 https://vocus.cc/article/615cffabfd89780001ab4c4e https://www.getrevue.co/profile/kuliopaham/issues/kuliopaham-issue-94-798703/ffe59d71-08a9-45b7-b4e7-a8e79f1cf738 https://www.cakeresume.com/portfolios/hd-key-things-the-facebook-whistleblower https://bidenanduktohelpaustralia.substack.com/p/hd-key-things-the-facebook-whistleblower?justPublished=true http://www.asvsa.org/index.php/asvsa-know-lab/discussions/hd-key-things-the-facebook-whistleblower-told-a-senate-panel https://www.click4r.com/posts/g/2590030/hd-key-things-the-facebook-whistleblower-told-a-senate-panel
