– Connected science and policy in the vaccine race
– What prevents Washington from spreading the virus?
– Russia, the first country to approve a coronavirus vaccine. The resolution announced Tuesday has caused skepticism and unease abroad, as the shooting has only been tested on dozens of people.

HERE’S THE MOST THAT’S HAPPENING:
BEIJING – New cases of community-transmitted coronavirus in China fell to a figure on Wednesday, while Hong Kong recorded 33 cases of infection.
The National Health Commission said the nine new cases had been discovered in the northwestern region of Xinjiang, whose capital, Urumqi, was in the midst of China’s last primary outbreak. Another 25 cases were brought through Chinese travelers who arrived from abroad.
China has largely contained the local spread of the pandemic that would have originated in the central city of Wuhan overdue last year before spreading around the world.
The government recorded 4,634 DEATHS from COVID-19 in 84,737 cases. Hong Kong, a densely populated semi-autonomous city in southern China, also recorded six other deaths, bringing the total to 58 out of 4181 cases.
The government ordered the use of a mask in public places, restrictions on indoor food and other measures of social estrangement to involve its new epidemic. These measures appear to have succeeded in cutting the number of more than one hundred new cases reported by the end of last month.

State Minister Daniel Andrews said 16 of the deaths were similar to nursing homes.
The number of new in Victoria has declined from the peak, giving the government hope that the epidemic will subside.
Meanwhile, 3 Melbourne vloggers have been fined more than $1,000 after posting a video on Chinese social media that shows them in violation of curfew regulations at night for a McDonald’s race, the Australian Broadcasting Corporation reported.
The five-minute video, which has since been removed, showed foreign academics walking down the alleys, dodging police officers and dancing at a McDonald’s restaurant at 2:30 a.m. on Sunday, ABC reported. Victoria police showed that each student was fined A$1,652 ($1,178).

SEOUL, South Korea – South Korea has reported 54 recent cases of COVID-19 as government paintings of fitness to stop transmissions of higher social and recreational activities.
The figures announced Wednesday through the South Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention raised the number of national bodies to 14,714 infections, 305 deaths.
The KCDC said that 35 of the new instances were local transmissions, all 3 reported in the densely populated Seoul metropolitan domain, which has been in the midst of a resurgence of the virus since last May.

MEXICO CITY – Mexico reported a record of nearly 926 COVID-19 deaths on Tuesday, bringing the country’s cumulative total to 53,929.
The Ministry of Health reported 6,686 new coronavirus infections, bringing the total number of cases shown in the country to date to 492,522.
At this rate, Mexico will soon succeed in the one million cases shown, however, given the incredibly low rate of testing (less than 1.1 million tests in a country of approximately 130 million more people), the number would be a much lower count. For the most part, only others with significant symptoms are tested in Mexico.

RALEIGH, N.C. – North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper won another legal victory by protecting his COVID-19 executive orders, this time when a ruling was issued about Deputy Governor Dan Forest’s rejected request to block them saying that his lawsuit is unlikely to succeed.
Judge Jim Gale on Tuesday Forest’s request for an initial court order.
The Republican vice-governor sued Cooper last month, claiming that the Democrat ordinances restricting business activities and mass gatherings and the application of masks were illegal because, in the first place, he had not won that of the State Council. The 10-member board includes Attorney General Josh Stein and other elected state officials.
Cooper’s state attorney argued that the governor had acted well in certain parts of the Emergency Management Act that required the board’s consent.
Cooper and Forest are governors this fall.
Forest said in a press release that since the ruling ruled that “Cooper has a 100 percent force a declared emergency,” the governor also “has a hundred percent responsibility” for the results, adding permanent business closures.
Cooper said Forest’s demands, if successful, can worsen the number of cases and hospitalizations that have stabilized or improved recently.
“Governor Cooper has taken decisive steps in fitness and life-saving protection,” spokeswoman Dory MacMillan wrote in an email.

PHILADELPHIA – Philadelphia Health Commissioner Dr. Thomas Farley said he planned to tell a U.S. Department of Health and Human Services visitor organization. That the long delays in obtaining coronavirus control effects were “very problematic” and pressure them for strategic implementation a vaccine once it becomes available.
Long waits across the country for the effects of coronavirus control make them virtually dead to involve the spread of the virus, according to public fitness officials.
The organization will travel on-site to Philadelphia until Thursday, as part of an excursion to a handful of cities across the country, Farley said.
Farley said he saw it as a way to show what the city had done in terms of prevention, contact seeking and social estrangement efforts.
