Argentina on Thursday reported a record number of new Covid-19 cases in a day of 41,080, amid a wave of infections that has made the country one of the most affected in the world, pushing the fitness formula to the limit.
The country of forty-five million people has recorded a total of 3663,215 cases and 76,135 deaths, according to official data, making it one of the countries with the maximum deaths consistent with the inhabitant along with the neighbors Uruguay, Paraguay and Brazil.
Argentina on Saturday began a strict nine-day blockade of the virus, but the deployment of its vaccination program has been slower than promised through President Alberto Fernández’s center-left government.
Current blocking measures include suspension of face-to-face school classes, a curfew at night and a takeaway catering service.
The global Covax vaccine exchange program said Thursday that it wants an additional $2 billion investment through early June for coronavirus inoculation systems in low-income countries, AFP reports.
“We want another $2 billion to build policyArray . . . up to almost 30%, and we want materials to be blocked by 2 June now so that doses can be delivered until 2021 and early 2022,” the organizers of the mechanism, which comes with the World Health Organization and gavi Alliance, said in a statement.
“If world leaders recover, Covax’s initial targets (delivering two billion doses of vaccines worldwide in 2021 and 1. 8 billion doses to 92 low-income economies through early 2022) are still within reach,” he said.
“But governments and the personal sector will urgently want new dose resources, with deliveries starting in June, and investments for us to deliver. “
Covax said it had already delivered 70 million doses of vaccines to 126 countries, but faced a deficit of 190 million by the end of June due to the “serious effect on the source of Covax in this year’s quarter. ] the horrific outbreak of the virus in India. “
The Indian Serum Institute is the world manufacturer of volume vaccines, generating 1. 5 billion doses in line with the year even before the coronavirus pandemic occurs.
Although Covax will have higher volumes by the end of the year thanks to agreements with several manufacturers, “if we do not address the existing and pressing deficit, the consequences can be simply catastrophic,” the organizers warned.
Covax welcomed the promises of vaccination made through countries such as France, Germany, Italy, New Zealand, Spain, Sweden and the United Arab Emirates.
The United States has promised to supply about 80 million doses, the largest donation in a single country, but has still specified how vaccines will be distributed or which countries will get them.
Matt Hancock is under increasing strain on why the British government did not protect the citizens of care homes at the beginning of the Covid pandemic, while seeking to save his reputation after Dominic Cummings accused him of lying.
The Secretary of Health first said that “it is not possible” to control all citizens of Covid care facilities before they were discharged from the hospital last March, as control capacity is not yet available.
But shadow minister of social protection Liz Kendall said the explanation “just fits. “
“There were more than 530,000 checks carried out in the UK until 20 April, but they were unable to control another 25,000 people who left hospitals to go to care facilities after we saw them razing care facilities in Italy, France and the United States. “She said, “They were actually looking to let go of the beds and didn’t prioritize the elderly. “
He accused Hancock, who in the past had claimed to have thrown a “protective ring” around the residences, to turn his account into “evading” his responsibility.

Sending Covid-19 vaccines to Africa is not only an ethical duty, but also in the interest of Europe and the world to prevent the resurgence of new virus variants, french President Emmanuel Macron said in Rwanda.
Macron said France on its way to delivering 30 million doses of Covid-19 vaccine to Africa by the end of the year, Germany would also deliver 30 million doses and that, together, the European Union would deliver more than one hundred million doses to Africa this year.
“Helping Africa get vaccinated Array . . . it is above all a duty of solidarity, and it is also justArray . . . in the interests of all European countries, from all countries around the world,” Macron said on a scale at a vaccination centre in Kigali on the sidelines of a state stopover.
He said that if all countries were vaccinated, the virus would continue to spread and expand new variants that, in turn, could simply reappear in countries that have already vaccinated their populations.
“Therefore, this strategy is only an ethical duty, but a requirement of aptitude,” Macron said.
The Covax facility, supported through the World Health Organization (WHO) and the Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (GAVI), aims to protect 2 billion doses of vaccines for low-income countries by the end of 2021.
The first to receive Ohio’s first Vax-a-Million vaccination incentive award for $1 million driving home when it won a call for smart news from State Gov. Mike DeWine reports ap.
“A whirlwind,” said Abigail Bugenske, 22, on Thursday morning at a press conference. “It hasn’t been dealt with at all yet. I’m still digesting it, and I like to say that I feel like it’s shrinking to someone else. I can’t. ” Bugenske said he planned to donate to charities and then invest the maximum.
The winner of a full college scholarship Joseph Costello, an eighth grader from Englewood, near Dayton. “Very excited,” Costello said as he sat between his parents, Colleen and Rich, at the virtual press conference. Although it’s a long way out, Joseph said he was thinking about Ohio State or Miami of Ohio for college.
Bugenske said he won the Modern vaccine as soon as he met the requirements, long before the lottery was announced. those quotes.
During a planned trip to Cleveland, U. S. President Joe Biden said, “Ohio has a new millionaire!What do I tell you, who would have destroyed it, a million dollars for getting vaccinated?But it works. “
More than 2. 7 million adults signed up for the $1 million prize and more than 104,000 young people between the age of 12 and 17 participated in the scholarship draw, which includes tuition, accommodation, shelter and books. Four other $1 million winners and college scholarships will be announced each and every one. Wednesday for the next 4 weeks.
DeWine, a Republican, announced the show on May 12 to increase overdue vaccination rates.
The Ohio Lottery made the first draw Monday afternoon at its draw studio in Cleveland with a random number generator to pick the winners in advance, and then showed the final winner’s eligibility.
Participants must register to participate through the phone or through the Vax-a-Million website. Teens can register themselves, but parents or legal guardians must verify their eligibility. forward from week to week. The deadline for new registrations is just before Sunday.
“I know some would say, DeWine, crazy! This concept of making a million dollars is a waste of money,” the governor said in pronouncing the incentive. But with the vaccine now available, the real waste “is a life lost by Covid-19,” the governor said.
The concept to work, at least at first. The number of other people over the age of 16 in Ohio who won their first dose increased by 33% in the week after the state announced the lottery, according to research by The Associated Press.
But the same review also found that vaccination rates are still well below the April and March figures.
More than 5. 2 million others in Ohio had started at least the vaccination procedure on Monday, or about 45% of the state. Approximately 4. 6 million others have finished getting vaccinated, or 39% of the state.
Nationally, more than 165 million Americans have started the immunization process, or nearly 50% of the population. More than 131 million are fully vaccinated, or nearly 40%.
Vax-a-Million is open to permanent Ohio citizens who won the vaccine with a dose of Johnson
DeWine’s proposal encouraged vaccination incentive lotteries in Colorado, Maryland, New York and Oregon.
In Colorado, Democratic Gov. Jared Polis said the state would hold a weekly lottery for five citizens to win $1 million to inspire vaccines. Colorado is setting aside $5 million in the federal coronavirus budget that would have been used to promote its vaccines so that five citizens earn $1 million each.
Africa wants at least 20 million doses of the Oxford/AstraZeneca vaccine within six weeks if those who have received their first vaccine should get the vaccine from time to time, WHO said Thursday.
“Africa wants vaccines now,” said Dr. Matshidiso Moeti, Regional Director of the World Health Organization for Africa. “Any disruption of our immunization campaigns will result in loss of life and loss of hope. “
WHO lobbied on the importance of gathering 8 to 12 weeks according to the period between doses to ensure a prolonged coverage rate of 81 percent for a recipient.
“In addition to this urgent need, another two hundred million doses of any Covid-19 vaccine indexed for emergency use through WHO are needed so that the continent can vaccinate 10% of its population until September 2021,” he added.
As of May 26, the continent had recorded more than 4. 7 million cases of coronavirus with nearly 130,000 deaths attributed to the virus.
The United States on Thursday asked the World Health Organization to conduct a momentary phase of its research on the origins of coronavirus, with independent experts having complete and original knowledge and samples in China, Reuters reports.
U. S. President Joe Biden ordered his assistants to locate answers about the origin of the Covid-19 virus, and said Wednesday that U. S. intelligence agencies are pursuing rival theories, potentially adding the option of a lab turn of fate in China.
“It is imperative that China provide independent experts with comprehensive knowledge and samples to original and complete to perceive the source of the virus and the early stages of the pandemic,” the US project told the UN in Geneva in a statement.
My colleague Peter Beaumont has combined this explanation of what we know about animal host theories and laboratory leaks:
Up to three-quarters of Covid’s new UK instances are believed to be due to the variant first detected in India, and the reported number more than doubled to nearly 7,000, Matt Hancock said Thursday.
The variant, known as B. 1. 617. 2, is now dominant in the UK and has been linked to an increase in cases in the country’s hot spots. Data published Thursday through Public Health England (PHE) show that 6959 cases have been shown in the UK, up from 3424 last week.
Meanwhile, experts said the link between Covid’s instances and hospital admissions had been particularly weakened but not broken. Speaking in the House of Commons on Thursday, the fitness secretary said Covid’s instances were now on point from 12 April, with 3,180 reported in the UK. Wednesday, however, thanks to vaccines, “the link between instances and hospitalizations and deaths is broken. “
But experts say the link is not yet damaged because only 44% of adults have won Covid vaccines and vaccines do not offer 100 percent coverage for hospitalization. “You can see it in Bolton, but you can see it to the fullest obviously in Scotland,” said Professor Christina Pagel, director of UCL’s Clinical Operational Research Unit.

Here is a summary of all major Covid-related updates worldwide:
Canada supports U. S. President Joe Biden’s efforts to discover the origin of the Covid-19 virus, Justin Trudeau said Thursday.
The Prime Minister of Canada said:
We call through the United States and others to better perceive the origins of Covid-19. I know there are many theories, but we want to make sure that we achieve a complete and complete dissemination of the facts to truly perceive what happened. and how to be sure it won’t happen again.
Update the publication:
The Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) did not identify two of the 17 agencies that make up the U. S. intelligence network that believed the virus originated from inflamed animals and what a firm idea came here by a lab accident.
In both cases, however, the ODNI stated that the agencies that analyzed any of the explanations did so with “low or moderate confidence”, which, in the jargon of espionage, means that the evidence supporting their views is far from conclusive.
Officials refused to discuss agencies that had expressed provisional reviews of the origin of the virus, Reuters reports, but noted that a large majority of US agencies have been able to do so. But it’s not the first time They have inadequate data to determine that one situation for the origin of the virus is more likely than the other.
The first foreign tourist organization in more than a year landed in Israel on Thursday, after the government began opening its borders after a fall in infections in Covid.
Small teams of vaccinated foreign tourists, up to 30 others, were allowed in last Sunday, Reuters reports.
The Ministry of Tourism expects 20 of these teams to come from countries, adding the United States, Britain and Germany as a component of a pilot program until June 15.
The ministry hopes to increase the number of teams and, in July, allow individual tourists.
Reuters reports:
The US intelligence network is in the middle of the world. But it’s not the first time He stated thursday that his agencies had two theories about the origin of the Covid-19, any of which he believes came here naturally from human contact with inflamed animals and a third covering a imaginable laboratory twist of fate as the source of the global pandemic.
“The U. S. intelligence network doesn’t know exactly where, when, or how the Covid-19 virus was first transmitted, but it has merged around two more likely scenarios,” the national intelligence director’s workplace said, adding that most there is “insufficient data to assess that one is more likely than the other. “
France reported that the number of others in intensive care sets with Covid-19 decreased from 124 to 3,206, according to Reuters.
The Ministry of Health reported 142 new coronavirus deaths in hospitals.
