The government needs to increase the number of doctors to better manage emergencies, add Covid-19 and provide greater medical care in rural areas, but young doctors said the country already had enough doctors and that the proposed reforms would lead to more doctors in primary cities like Seoul, where many specialize in popular and lucrative specialties such as plastic surgery , dermatology and dentistry.

State officials say they still have little selection to continue cutting if aid arrives.
Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo warned that without additional help, New York would cut $8. 2 billion in subsidies to local governments, a move he said was “unprecedented in fashionable times. “The cuts “almost all state-funded activities,” he added. special education, pediatric physical care, drug control programs, tax relief and public transportation, he said.
The state faces a budget deficit of $14. 5 billion this fiscal year, according to budget officials. As an option for further cuts, progressive Democrats have proposed taxing the rich.
Mr Cuomo, however, said that the potential benefits of making new profits would be more than offset because the negative would have an effect on the state’s highest incomes, which already bear most state taxes.

world stage
Spain on Monday exceeded more than 525,000 instances in total, according to a New York Times database, making it the country in Western Europe to surpass the half-million mark.
The country is experiencing a momentary wave of cases after a relative summer calm, and the virus is spreading much faster than anywhere else on the continent.
Spain is already one of the most affected countries in Europe, but after one of the strictest blockades in the world, which stopped the spread of the virus, the country experienced one of the fastest reopenings.
The setback of nightlife and organisational activities, which has arrived much faster than for most of its European neighbours, has contributed to the resurgence of the epidemic in Spain. Government officials have announced that schools will reopen this month, wearing a mandatory mask for students over the age of 6.
Many doctors and politicians are not as terrified of the wave of the moment in Spain as they are at the first: the mortality rate is almost part of what was at the height of the crisis, falling to 6. 6% from the 12% peak in May. the average age of other people who tested positive has fallen to about 37 years since age 60.
However, experts are concerned that the growing number of instances will mean a new wave across the continent.
In advances around the world:

Used cars are overlooked in the fanfare of complex electric cars and bellows vans, and are now suddenly the most popular product in the industry.
Consumers buy used cars as a moment or a third car to avoid trains, buses or Ubers the coronavirus pandemic Others buy used rather than new portions to save cash in a dubious economy, not knowing when they or their spouses are in danger of wasting a demand for older cars was also driven by a nearly two-month shutdown of new car production this spring.
Across the United States, the costs of used cars have soared. Accumulation challenges the traditional wisdom that cars depreciate assets that lose much of their price when they leave the dealership. In July to July, the average price of used cars rose more than 16%. , depending on Edmunds. com.
In June, the last known month, franchised car dealerships sold 1. 2 million used cars and trucks, according to Edmunds, 22% more than last year, the highest per month overall since at least 2007.
The boom has shaken up the car sales business. Because used cars don’t come from Detroit factories, dealers have to paint cars as hard to buy as they usually do to sell them, they say, adding advertising and unsettled calls to others to ask if they would be interested in promoting their old cars. As a result, demand for used cars has become strong due to the pandemic.
“Used cars are meant to depreciate, yet I would look at the e-book price of a car on the floor and see it higher than at the beginning of the month,” said Adam Silverleib, President of Silko Honda in Raynham, Massachusetts. “I’ve never noticed that before. “
Silverleib recently sold a 2017 Honda Pilot with 22,000 miles to Suzanne Cray and her husband. The circle of relatives had been controlled with a single car, but Cray, a nurse who works at Tufts Medical Center in Boston, said the circle of relatives needed someone else to make sure no one had to travel with Uber or on public transportation.
The boom is part of other unforeseen trends in a recession that has left millions of people unemployed and devastated airlines, restaurants, hotels and small businesses. Despite this pain, the pandemic has been a blessing to the old resources of the economy. such as canned and processed food and suburban home sales, which had gotten out of control in recent years.
The growing preference for owning a car has surprised many other people and baffled others who are involved about what this says about the long-term cities and transportation. Mayor Bill de Blasio, who travels in a van, recently implored New Yorkers, many of whom do not own a vehicle, not buy a car, saying they constitute “the past. “
