Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Saturday in his annual address to the United Nations General Assembly that his country’s vast production of vaccines would serve the world in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
“As the world’s largest vaccine producer, I need to give more security to the global network today,” Modi said in a pre-recorded speech. “India’s vaccine production and distribution capacity will be used for all humanity to fight this crisis. “
The commitment touched on a recurring theme at this year’s General Assembly, which was held almost this year due to the pandemic: considerations on the availability and distribution of coronavirus vaccines, along with fears that rich countries with means and profits will gain advantages from the smallest and poorest. countries that also want vaccines.
Several General Assembly speakers last week, adding Pope Francis, expressed fear that vaccines could be assigned only to those who can. “If someone has to have preference, be it the poorest, the most vulnerable, the ones who so occasionally suffer discrimination because they have neither strength nor economic resources,” Francis said.
Modi’s obvious generosity to share vaccines came amid questions about how the country would provide such coverage to its own people. Just hours before Modi’s transmission, Adar Poonawalla, director of the Serum Institute of India, the world’s largest vaccine manufacturer, said the country’s ministry of fitness would want about $1 billion next year for a mass vaccination campaign. “This is the next challenge we face,” he wrote on Twitter.
India, the most populous country of the time after China, reported 5. 9 million coronavirus infections, with more than seven million cases reported by the United States alone.
In his address to the United Nations, Modi said India was conducting Phase 3 clinical trials (complex large-scale trials of promising vaccines that ensure their protection and effectiveness) and would help other countries have garage capacity for the delivery of approved vaccines. Vaccines.
Researchers have at least 42 international vaccines in humans, and at least 4 are in Phase 3.
A global collaboration between the World Health Organization, the European Commission and France introduced in April aims at an equitable distribution of vaccines. Known as COVAX, he promised that once vaccines become available, they will be given to countries “regardless of their wealth. “
A central Ohio woman arrested and caught with a taser this week when she refused to leave a school football game after refusing to cover her face with a canopy, police said.
A video of the episode in which the woman, Alicia Kitts, yells at the officer, Chris Smith, as he struggles to handcuff her: “Let me go!”She screams.
The Logan Police Department, a city of about 7,000 people southeast of Columbus, said in a statement that a school resource officer saw that Ms. Kitts was sitting in the stands Wednesday without a mask, which the branch said was a violation of a school. Constant Smith continually asked him to put on a mask, but she did not obey, and told the officer that she had asthma, according to the Array and he also continually asked him to abandon the stands, which she refused to do.
When he told her that he was under arrest and that he tried to handcuff his arms in his back, Kitts resisted and Agent Smith used the Taser gun on his shoulder, according to police account. She was accused of resisting the arrest and trespassing of abode.
“It is vitally important to point out that the woman not arrested for not dressing in a mask; asked to leave the premises to continually violate school policy,” the police said.
Kitts’ attorney Maurice A. Thompson said in a statement that Officials in the Logan-Hocking School District ignored Ms. Kitts when she told them she had asthma and challenged the officer’s justification that the officer was implementing a school policy on masks.
Mr. Thompson said the school did not have its own written policy and that the officer trying to put into force a state policy related to the use of masks; however, he noted, state policy exempts others with respiratory problems. The school’s position “is not consistent with any directive or other law,” Mr. Thompson and the school district “misrepresented the law and handled it misunderstood randomly and violently. “
Local media reported that the Logan Police Department said the calls came from others who had used racist slurs opposed to the black Constable Smith. The district’s schools were closed Thursday after the people they called threatened to oppose the school formula and the police department, the Marietta Times reported.
Police said the case is still under investigation and there are more pending fees that are opposed to Ms Kitts and some other woman involved in the altercation.
Since the start of the pandemic, mask politics have been at the center of conflicts turning violent.
In May, a security guard in Flint, Michigan, was shot dead after an altercation his wife said happened for a visitor who refused to cover his face. Several viral videos have captured tense cul-de-sacs dressed in masks at grocery stores and other businesses. .
New York State recorded more than 1,000 new cases of coronavirus on a single day for the first time since June, when fewer tests were underway.
Of the 99,953 tests reported to the state on Friday, 1,005 were positive, the governor’s workplace said, for a positivity rate of about 1 percent, which is still well below the 5% positivity rate, which, according to fitness experts, indicates the spread of the virus in a community.
On June 5, when there were 1,108 new cases in the state, only another 77,895 people were tested, a positivity rate of 1. 4%, Jack Sterne, the governor’s spokesman, was tested in an email; the average positivity rate of seven days at time 2 consistent with percent.
In South Dakota, where positivity is that of the country, approximately one in five tests is positive.
The New York total on Friday is not close to the numbers at the height of the state crisis in the spring, when cases soared to an average of about 10,000 per day, however, it is a reminder of what it can be like to wait for schools and others to reopen. Start spending more time indoors.
“It’s important for New Yorkers to continue practicing the fundamental behaviors that our ability to combat the Covid-19 as we enter the fall and flu season,” Gov. Andrew M said. Saturday. Cuomo in a statement.
The number of new cases in the state gradually increased as summer turned into autumn; The average of seven days of new instances is consistent with the day of Friday, 909, while in early August, the seven-day average is 650.
Deaths from the virus in New York State have fallen sharply since the peak of the epidemic. Four more deaths were reported Friday, the governor said.
The virus has killed more than 203,000 people in the United States, adding more than 32,000 in New York State.
The first that compares the immune reaction in young people to that of adults suggests an explanation of why coronavirus affects young people much less severely.
In children, a branch of the immune formula that evolved itself against unknown pathogens temporarily destroys coronavirus before it causes damage to their bodies, according to research, published this week in Science Translational Medicine. In adults, the immune reaction is much more attenuated, according to research.
“Ultimately, yes, young people react immunologically to this virus and it turns out it protects young people,” dr. Betsy Herold, a specialist in pediatric infectious diseases at the Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York who led the study.
When the body encounters an unknown pathogen, it responds within a few hours with a wave of immune activity, called an innate immune response. Defenders of the corps are temporarily recruited to fight and begin to transmit signals calling for reinforcements.
Children are more likely to find new pathogens in their immune system. His innate defense is swift and overwhelming.
Over time, as an immune formula finds a pathogen after a pathogen, it builds a reminiscence of known villains. By the time a framework reaches adulthood, it is based on a more complicated and specialized formula that has adapted and combats express threats.
If the innate immune formula resembles the first emergency lifeguards on the scene, the adaptive formula represents qualified in a hospital.
The adaptive formula makes biological sense, adults rarely find a virus for the first time, said Dr. Michael Mina, a pediatric immunologist at Harvard’s TH Chan School of Epidemiology in Boston.
But the coronavirus is new to everyone, and the innate formula fades as other people age, leaving them more vulnerable. In the time it takes for an adult body to set up and operate the specialized adaptive formula, the virus has had time to harm, according to Dr. Herold’s research.
She and her colleagues discussed the immune responses of 60 adults and 65 young people and young adults under the age of 24, all of whom were hospitalized at Montefiore Medical Center in New York from March 13 to May 17.
Patients included 20 young people with multisistmic inflammatory syndrome, severe and fatal immune overreaction related to coronavirus.
In general, young people were only mildly affected by the virus, compared to adults, and basically reported gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and loss of taste or smell. Only five young people required mechanical ventilation, compared to 22 of the adults; two young men died, compared to 17 adults.
Young people had much higher blood levels of two specific immune molecules, interleucine 17A and gamma interferon, the researchers found. Molecules were more abundant in younger patients and decreased with age.

Thousands of unmasked protesters gathered in central London on Saturday to protest against new lockout measures, however, the Metropolitan Police dispersed the crowds in hours because they did respect social estbankment regulations.
Protesters chanted “Freedom” and called for “ending crazy rules,” while some showed symptoms that said, “No more lies, no more masks, no more lockdowns. “They engaged in tense clashes with officials seeking to end the demonstration. .
Police said nine police officers were injured and 16 others arrested on charges that added assaulting a police officer and violent riots, Reuters news firm reported.
A day earlier, Britain had reported its highest daily number of new infections since the onset of the pandemic – nearly 6,900 – and 34 new deaths, bringing the number of lives lost in the country to nearly 42,000 from the virus. authorities’ warnings about the danger of contagion are gaining ground, and the media has reported that the QAnon motion that began in the United States is taking root, as it did in Germany.
Overall, Britain was the hardest-hit country in Europe, its current seven-day average of new infections consistent with the capita is well below averages in Spain and France, but with its daily gross figures emerging sharply in recent weeks, the government is re-imposing the blockade. More than 20 million others are expected to be affected by the new measures until Sunday night, while many parts of north and central England and Wales are subject to stricter restrictions.
Bars and restaurants are scheduled to close at 10 p. m. in England and in countless areas, home visits and meetings have been limited. In London, Mayor Sadiq Khan suggested Prime Minister Boris Johnson ban home visits to the city’s nine million residents, and the city was placed on the government’s watch list.
Fifteen police officers were wounded in previous lockdown protests earlier this month and on Saturday the local government said it would tolerate any violence that opposes law enforcement.
“I know those regulations are very frustrating, yet they were designed for everyone from what is a fatal virus,” said Ade Adelekan, commander of the Metropolitan Police who led Saturday’s operation. “By brazenly collecting in giant quantities and ignoring social estinement, they are endangering their physical condition and that of their loved ones. “
