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 speakers from last week’s General Assembly, adding Pope Francis, expressed fear that vaccines could be assigned only to those who can. those who so occasionally suffer discrimination because they have no strength or financial 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 a few hours before the transmission of Modi, 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 UN, Modi said India was conducting Phase 3 clinical trials – complex large-scale trials of promising vaccines that help ensure their protection and effectiveness – and would help other countries have garage capacity for the delivery of approved 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, 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 southeast of Columbus, said in a statement that a school resource officer spotted Ms. Kitts sitting in the bleachers Wednesday without a mask, which, according to the department , it was a violation of a school policy that requires all spectators to cover their faces. Officer Smith continually asked her to put on a mask, but she did not obey and told the officer she had asthma, she said, and he continually asked her to do so as well. leave the stands, which she refused to do.
When he told her that he was under arrest and that he tried to handcuff his arms behind his back, Kitts resisted and Officer Smith used the taser gun on his shoulder, according to the police account. She was charged with resisting arrest and breaking and entering.
“It is vital to note that the woman was not arrested for not dressing in a mask; he was asked to leave the premises to continually violate school policy,” 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 calls came from others who had thrown racist slurs against Officer Smith, who is black. On Thursday, district schools were blocked after the people they called made threats against the school formula and police department. reported the Marietta Times.
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 beginning of the pandemic, mask policies have been at the center of conflicts that become 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 with canopy. .
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 one of 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, almost one in five tests is positive.
The New York general on Friday is not approaching the numbers at the height of the state crisis in the spring, when instances rose on average to around 10,000 per day, however, it is a reminder of what we might expect from the reopening of schools and people. 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 press release.
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 declined sharply since the peak of its epidemic. Four more deaths were reported on 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 comparing the immune reaction in young people to that of adults suggests an explanation as to why coronavirus affects young people much less severely.
In children, a branch of the immune formula that has evolved to oppose unknown pathogens temporarily destroys the coronavirus before it causes harm 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. The body’s defenders are temporarily recruited to fight and begin transmitting signals asking 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 to respond to emergency on the scene, the adaptive formula represents qualified in a hospital.
The adaptive formula makes biological sense, adults rarely encounter a virus for the first time, said Dr. Michael Mina, a pediatric immunologist at Harvard’s TH Chan School of Epidemiology in Boston.
But 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 agency to configure and operate the specialized adaptive formula, the virus has had time to damage, 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 affected by the virus, compared to adults, reporting basically gastrointestinal symptoms such as diarrhea and loss of taste or smell. Only five young people required mechanical ventilation, compared to 22 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.
The protesters chanted “Freedom” and called for “an end to the crazy rules”, while some showed symptoms that said: “No more lies, no more masks, no more confinements. ” They participated in tense clashes with police officers seeking to prevent 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 strongly 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 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 closed protests before this month and saturday, and the local government said they would not tolerate violence against 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. “
