South Africa moves into 'level 1' alert after dramatic drop in COVID-19 case numbers

South Africa will move into the lowest 'alert level-1' lockdown from Monday, further relaxing restrictions on movement, economic activities and gatherings, after a "dramatic" decline in COVID-19 cases over eight weeks. 'Alert level-1' is the lowest of five levels of lockdown, which was imposed almost a year ago following the outbreak of the coronavirus that has infected over 1.5 million people and claimed nearly 50,000 lives in the country.

In a national broadcast, President Cyril Ramaphosa said that the country has now clearly emerged from the second wave, with new infections, admissions to hospitals and deaths having fallen significantly and continuing to decline steadily.

In the week that has just passed, the country recorded just under 10,000 new infections, a month ago, in the last week of January, it recorded over 40,000 new cases, and a month before that, in the last week of December, close to 90,000 new cases were recorded, he said.

"This dramatic decline in cases over eight weeks is due to a combination of public health measures introduced, changes in behaviour and accumulating immunity in those who became infected in our communities," he said.

However, the president cautioned people against letting their guard down. The wearing of masks in public places is still mandatory, and failure to wear a mask when required remains a criminal offence, Ramaphosa said.

"We were able to emerge from the second wave because most people adhered to the tighter restrictions and observed basic health protocols, including wearing masks in public and social distancing," he said.

The new alert level, which went into effect from midnight on Sunday, includes the curfew hours being reduced to start at midnight and end at 4 am, gatherings being allowed for up to 100 people, including social, political and cultural gatherings, and the sale of alcohol being permitted according to normal license provisions, except during the curfew hours, Ramaphosa said during his address to the nation.

Night vigils or other gatherings before or after funerals are still not permitted and nightclubs will remain closed, he said.

"The return to 'alert level-1' means that most of the remaining restrictions on economic activity have been removed. We expect this to lead to higher consumption spending, bolstered by the steady recovery in employment. We expect businesses to implement the plans they may have put on hold," Ramaphosa said.

Cautioning people about a potential third wave, which scientists say is expected as the harsh winter months approach, the president said that "as we ease restrictions, we cannot let our guard down. The few remaining restrictions under 'alert level-1' are meant to maintain low levels of infections and, in particular, to prevent super-spreading events".

"For this reason, among others, the easing of restrictions should not be viewed as a reason to abandon precautions. The threat of a third wave is constantly present, as is the threat of yet more new variants," Ramaphosa said.

The president said that "as we witnessed last year, our actions as individuals and as a collective will determine whether and how soon we experience a resurgence of the virus".

Describing COVID-19 vaccines being used across the globe as "a clear path towards containing infections and, ultimately, overcoming the disease", Ramaphosa said, "Within less than a year the global scientific community has developed, tested and produced several vaccines that are safe and effective against the disease."

The president commended the role of the nation's scientists in the process.

"We have long held the view that a vaccine would be our most decisive measure to combat COVID-19, and to that extent set up processes at a continental and national level to prepare for the availability of an effective vaccine, he said, highlighting the rapid vaccine acquisition processes that are currently under way.

South Africa recently signed an agreement with Johnson & Johnson to secure 11 million doses. Of these doses, 2.8 million will be delivered in the second quarter and the rest spread throughout the year, Ramaphosa said.

"We have also secured 20 million doses from Pfizer, which will be delivered from the second quarter. Additionally, we have secured 12 million vaccine doses from the COVAX facility and are in the process of finalising our dose allocation from the African Union, he said.

Ramaphosa said the government would monitor the situation closely together with scientists and experts, to adapt to the Covid-19 pandemic in a responsive and flexible manner.

'Do you miss me yet?': Donald Trump returns to address Conservatives, pledges unity in GOP

Orlando: Former president Donald Trump used his first public appearance since leaving office and moving to Florida to lash out at President Joe Biden and insist that there are no divisions within the Republican Party — even as he plots revenge on GOP lawmakers who have broken with him.

In an address on the closing day of the annual Conservative Political Action Conference on Sunday, Trump arrived at the venue an hour after he was scheduled to take the lectern.

“Do you miss me yet?” Trump asked the crowd. He talked about his “journey” with his supporters, adding, “It is far from being over.”

“We will do what we’ve done right from the beginning, which is to win,” Trump said. And despite having floated the idea with a few advisors, he went on to assert plainly: “I am not starting a new party.”

Condemning Biden’s performance and persisting in his false claims that voting fraud deprived him of victory in 2020, Trump declared, two months after his supporters violently breached the US Capitol, that Democrats “just lost the White House.” He added, “I may even decide to beat them for a third time.”

He veered off script repeatedly.

Trump’s biggest applause lines came over his grievances. He criticised Dr Anthony Fauci, the infectious diseases expert who worked with the former president and who stayed on with Biden, and called for ending the coronavirus restrictions that have kept schools closed around the country. The issue of schools is one that Republicans have pressed repeatedly heading into the 2022 midterm elections, believing it gives them an edge.

At one point, Trump did something he never did as president — expressly called on people to take the coronavirus vaccines that he had pressed for and hoped would help him in his reelection effort. But he mocked Biden for stumbling during a CNN town hall event and attacked him over comments the president made about the number of vaccines available when he took office.

Backstage, before he spoke, an aide brought Trump a full-length mirror to gaze at how he looked. The former president held a small bottle of hair spray a few inches away from his chin and aimed it at his forehead. He swigged a Diet Coke before taking the stage.

While much of the party’s rank-and-file remains devoted to the 74-year-old former president, he is viewed less favorably by some Republicans because of his refusal to accept defeat and his role in inciting the Capitol riot on 6 January.

A handful of GOP lawmakers have urged the party to move on from Trump, most prominently Representative Liz Cheney of Wyoming, the third-ranking House Republican.

In response, Trump’s eldest son, Donald Trump Jr, repeatedly attacked Cheney in his remarks at CPAC on Friday, and the former president was expected to take aim at her himself Sunday.

Many of his advisors, however, were urging him to use his time onstage in Orlando to deliver a forward-looking address.

To this end, they also released an excerpt in which Trump would take on his successor in a manner almost identical to what he said about Biden when he himself was president, when he repeatedly told his supporters that Biden would destroy the country.

Ignoring that schools remained closed during his own presidency, Trump also planned to call on Biden to open schools “right now. No more special interest delays!”

How closely Trump would choose to follow a teleprompter script, though, was always an open question. And perhaps more so now that he has decamped from the White House to his resort in Palm Beach, Florida, stripped of his social media accounts.

His address was crafted by two of the former president’s speechwriters in the White House, Ross Worthington and Vince Haley, with input from other advisors.

The former president’s aides had been looking for an opportunity for him to reemerge and debated whether to put on a rally-type event of their own or take advantage of the forum of CPAC, which relocated to Trump’s new home state from suburban Washington because Florida has more lenient coronavirus restrictions.

Trump and his aides worked with him on the speech for several days at his newly-built office above the ballroom at Mar-a-Lago, his private club near the Atlantic Ocean. Without his Twitter feed, Trump has been using specific moments in the news cycle — the death of radio host Rush Limbaugh and Tiger Woods’ car crash — to inject himself into the news cycle.

Outside prepared statements, though, he has said far less since Jan. 20 about the future of the GOP and his own lingering ambitions.

Trump’s advisors said he was not planning to discuss a litany of his own accomplishments, and instead would try to recapture some of how he sounded as a candidate in 2016. Trump has made clear to allies and advisors that, for now at least, he wants to run for president again in 2024.

Yet even with a built-in supportive audience, not everyone in the party believes that Trumpism is the way forward.

“CPAC is not the entirety of the Republican Party,” Sen. Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, one of the seven Republican senators who voted to convict Trump on the House impeachment charges, said Sunday.

Speaking on CNN’s State of the Union, Cassidy said that Republicans must pay heed to those voters who switched in the last four years. “If we speak to the voters who are less sure, who went from Trump to Biden, we win. If we don’t, we lose,” Cassidy said.

US gets third COVID-19 vaccine as FDA approves Johnson & Johnson's one-dose shot

Washington: The US is getting a third vaccine to prevent COVID-19, as the Food and Drug Administration on Saturday cleared a Johnson & Johnson shot that works with just one dose instead of two.

Health experts are anxiously awaiting a one-and-done option to help speed vaccinations, as they race against a virus that already has killed more than 5,10,000 people in the US and is mutating in increasingly worrisome ways.

The FDA said J&J's vaccine offers strong protection against what matters most: serious illness, hospitalisations and death. One dose was 85 percent protective against the most severe COVID-19 illness, in a massive study that spanned three continents — protection that remained strong even in countries such as South Africa, where the variants of most concern are spreading.

"This is really good news," Dr. Francis Collins, director of the National Institutes of Health, told The Associated Press on Saturday. "The most important thing we can do right now is to get as many shots in as many arms as we can."

J&J initially is providing a few million doses and shipments to states could begin as early as Monday. By the end of March, J&J has said it expects to deliver 20 million doses to the US, and 100 million by summer.

J&J also is seeking authorization for emergency use of its vaccine in Europe and from the World Health Organization. The company aims to produce about 1 billion doses globally by the end of the year. On Thursday, the island nation of Bahrain became the first to clear its use.

"This is exciting news for all Americans, and an encouraging development in our efforts to bring an end to the crisis," President Joe Biden said in a statement. "But I want to be clear: this fight is far from over," he added, encouraging people to stick with masks and other public health measures.

On Sunday, a US advisory committee will meet to recommend how to prioritize use of the single-dose vaccine. And one big challenge is what the public wants to know: Which kind is better?

"In this environment, whatever you can get — get," said Dr. Arnold Monto of the University of Michigan, who chaired an FDA advisory panel that unanimously voted Friday that the vaccine's benefits outweigh its risks.

Data is mixed on how well all the vaccines being used around the world work, prompting reports in some countries of people refusing one kind to wait for another.

In the US, the two-dose Pfizer and Moderna shots were 95 percent protective against symptomatic COVID-19. J&J's one-dose effectiveness of 85 percent against severe COVID-19 dropped to 66 percent when moderate cases were rolled in. But there's no apples-to-apples comparison because of differences in when and where each company conducted its studies, with the Pfizer and Moderna research finished before concerning variants began spreading.

NIH's Collins said the evidence shows no reason to favor one vaccine over another.

"What people I think are mostly interested in is, is it going to keep me from getting really sick?" Collins said. "Will it keep me from dying from this terrible disease? The good news is all of these say yes to that."

Also, J&J is testing two doses of its vaccine in a separate large study. Collins said if a second dose eventually is deemed better, people who got one earlier would be offered another.

The FDA cautioned that it's too early to tell if someone who gets a mild or asymptomatic infection despite vaccination still could spread the virus.

There are clear advantages aside from the convenience of one shot. Local health officials are looking to use the J&J option in mobile vaccination clinics, homeless shelters, even with sailors who are spending months on fishing vessels — communities where it's hard to be sure someone will come back in three to four weeks for a second vaccination.

The J&J vaccine also is easier to handle, lasting three months in the refrigerator compared to the Pfizer and Moderna options, which must be frozen.

"We're chomping at the bit to get more supply. That's the limiting factor for us right now," said Dr. Matt Anderson of UW Health in Madison, Wisconsin, where staffers were readying electronic health records, staffing and vaccine storage in anticipation of offering J&J shots soon.

The FDA said studies detected no serious side effects. Like other COVID-19 vaccines, the main side effects of the J&J shot are pain at the injection site and flu-like fever, fatigue and headache.

An FDA fact sheet for vaccine recipients says there is "a remote chance" that people may experience a severe allergic reaction to the shot, a rare risk seen with the Pfizer and Moderna vaccines. Such reactions are treatable, and vaccine recipients are supposed to be briefly monitored after the injection.

The vaccine has been authorized for emergency use in adults 18 and older for now. But like other manufacturers, J&J is about to study how it works in teens before moving to younger children later in the year, and also plans a study in pregnant women.

All COVID-19 vaccines train the body to recognize the new coronavirus, usually by spotting the spikey protein that coats it. But they're made in very different ways.

J&J's shot uses a cold virus like a Trojan horse to carry the spike gene into the body, where cells make harmless copies of the protein to prime the immune system in case the real virus comes along. It's the same technology the company used in making an Ebola vaccine, and similar to COVID-19 vaccines made by AstraZeneca and China's CanSino Biologics.

The Pfizer and Moderna vaccines are made with a different technology, a piece of genetic code called messenger RNA that spurs cells to make those harmless spike copies.

The AstraZeneca vaccine, already used in Britain and numerous other countries, is finishing a large US study needed for FDA clearance. Also in the pipeline, Novavax uses a still different technology, made with lab-grown copies of the spike protein, and has reported preliminary findings from a British study suggesting strong protection.

Still other countries are using "inactivated vaccines," made with killed coronavirus by Chinese companies Sinovac and Sinopharm.

To build unwavering loyalty to China, Hong Kong sets about rewriting history

Hong Kong: The orders seemed innocuous, even obvious: Primary school students in Hong Kong should read picture books about Chinese traditions and learn about famous sites such as the Forbidden City in Beijing or the Great Wall.

But the goal was only partially to nurture an interest in the past. The central aim of the new curriculum guidelines, unveiled by the Hong Kong government this month, was much more ambitious: To use those historical stories to instil in the city’s youngest residents a deep-rooted affinity for mainland China — and, with it, an unwavering loyalty to its leaders and their strong-arm tactics.

Students, the guidelines said, should develop “a sense of belonging to the country, an affection for the Chinese people, a sense of national identity, as well as an awareness of and a sense of responsibility for safeguarding national security.”

The Chinese government, in its efforts to quash dissent, has imposed a strict set of restrictions on Hong Kong, including new rules this week to bar any candidates deemed disloyal to the Community Party from elected office.

But the strategy goes well beyond repression. The Hong Kong government has also launched a vast campaign to indoctrinate the next generation — and it is using history as a potentially powerful tool to inculcate obedience and patriotism.

When mass anti-government protests swept the city in 2019, pro-Beijing officials blamed the education system for promoting liberal values and radicalising Hong Kong. Determined to avoid a repeat, they are now aggressively promoting a specific narrative, designed to reinforce the Chinese Communist Party’s tightening rule over the former British colony.

To the authorities, that narrative is a necessary corrective to ensure stability and unity. To the critics, it is social engineering, a misleading and dystopian campaign to shape young minds.

In some cases, the government has moved to literally rewrite history. It is backing the creation of a 66-volume set of Hong Kong Chronicles, which is projected to cost $100 million and promises a “comprehensive, systematic and objective” record of the city’s last 7,000 years. In official yearbooks that summarise the government’s achievements, references to past cooperation with western countries — which had been reprinted without change for decades — have disappeared.

Along with the national security lessons for schools, the government also is overhauling and halving the instruction time for a subject called liberal studies. Pro-Beijing politicians say those lessons, which are dedicated to nurturing critical thinking, have poisoned young people against the government. Officials say the new curriculum should teach facts about Hong Kong and China’s recent development but should not ask students to analyse them.

The government’s education bureau has denied that its new national security curriculum is brainwashing, calling such labels “malicious” in a statement on Monday.

Battles over history are ubiquitous, in democracies and authoritarian states, among scholars, governments and the general public. Historians are the first to acknowledge that there is no such thing as an objective record. Hong Kong’s anti-government activists have also selectively deployed historical events to rally support.

Still, the Chinese government — which regained control of the territory from Britain in 1997 — is fixated on, and uniquely adept at, controlling the historical narrative. In mainland China, major events, including the government’s 1989 massacre of Tiananmen Square protesters, have been largely erased from public memory by censorship and official directives that insist on “patriotic education.”

Critics fear that model is being imported to Hong Kong. The city’s chief executive, Carrie Lam, said recently that the Hong Kong Chronicles project would help residents, “especially the younger generation, better understand the inseparable relationship between Hong Kong and the country.”

Chan Hei Tung, a teacher of liberal studies, said the government’s flattened narrative would only distance students from the city and the country that the authorities want them to love. He had previously used stories about Hong Kong’s past to encourage students to analyse present-day issues. Under the government’s new initiative, he said, “what they have to do is just memorise and follow and respect the authorities.”

“The interaction between their generation and their city and the whole society will be gone,” said Chan, who also serves on the executive committee of a pro-democracy teachers’ union. “They don’t have a role to commit in changing the history.”

As soon as the first, nearly 800-page volume of the Hong Kong Chronicles project was published in December, pro-democracy advocates attacked it for describing the 2014 Occupy Central movement as “illegal.” The chronicle made no mention of a march of at least 350,000 people on 1 July, 2014, that had helped catalyse the movement. But it did mention a counter-protest that the police said drew about 100,000 people.

Others criticised the book for characterising anti-government protesters who clashed violently with the police in 2016 as “rioters,” noting that it called pro-Communist forces who had done the same in 1967 “protesting workers.” The book also did not mention that the pro-Communist protesters had planted bombs that killed, among others, an eight-year-old girl and her toddler brother.

The non-profit organisation behind the chronicles is led by Tung Chee-hwa, a former chief executive of Hong Kong. The project names as “honorary patrons” Lam, the current chief executive, and Luo Huining, the Central government’s top official in Hong Kong.

Lau Chi-pang, a history professor at Lingnan University in Hong Kong and a director of the project, said he hoped the chronicles could be a “very handy source” for schoolteachers.

Lau said the authors had tried only to list events, not pass judgment on them. But he acknowledged that he, like all historians, brought a political perspective to his work.

“I have always been seen as a pro-government scholar, and I don’t deny that,” he said.

Lau is also the chairman of the government committee that is redesigning the liberal studies curriculum, to cut instruction time in half and make the subject pass-fail. He said expectations for the subject were too high.

“You don’t expect at this high school level, or even college level, that social issues or political issues can easily be taught with reasonable depth,” he said.

Students should focus on learning the facts, not necessarily assessing their context, he said: “They need to know that, after 1997, Hong Kong is part of China. They only need to know about that. We don’t want them to analyse anything out of that.”

While the government’s focus on modern history has drawn the most attention, its revisions stretch back to ancient times.

In the government’s annual yearbook, one chapter is dedicated to history, starting with archaeological relics from about 6,000 years ago.

Between 1997 and 2016, the yearbook consistently declared that those prehistoric cultures had evolved “locally, independent of any major outside influences.” But in 2017, that phrasing disappeared. Instead, the record said, Hong Kong’s culture had “developed out of influence from central China.”

Long-standing mentions of “liberal British rule” over Hong Kong also vanished in subsequent years. Hong Kong’s participation in “the Allied cause” during World War II became “the anti-Japanese cause,” echoing a rallying cry the Communist Party has used to stoke nationalist fervor.

Bao Pu, who owns a publishing house focused on modern Chinese history, said re-evaluating the story of British influence on Hong Kong was justified. During the colonial period, Chinese residents were subjected to segregation and racism, which the yearbooks barely mentioned.

But it is also wrong to try to erase the legacy of that period entirely, he said: “They have ambitions to eradicate that Hong Kong identity, which is different from Chinese identity.”

In response to the government’s efforts, activists and other amateur historians have tried to preserve their own stories. Facebook pages and pop-up exhibitions led by pro-democracy supporters have proliferated.

Some of those projects have also lacked context, sometimes offering misleading information about previous chief executives or painting an “overly rosy” view of colonialism, said Florence Mok, a postdoctoral fellow who studies Hong Kong history at Nanyang Technological University in Singapore.

“This kind of misuse of history is very common, in posters and propaganda by both the regime and also activists,” she said, adding, “We really have very little control over how people will read into our work.”

Still, some worry that critics’ alternate narratives will be stamped out — along with, eventually, the curiosity and critical thinking that fueled them.

Amy Lam, a stay-at-home mother who participated in the 2019 protests, said her friends with younger children worried that the new curriculum guidelines would ensure that the children never learned to consider opposing viewpoints.

Lam felt more confident that her own daughter, 15, had already begun developing the necessary skills. Even so, she was eager for her to graduate from high school and enroll at a university abroad.

“She will be out of the whole system very soon. I think we just have to stick in there, and hopefully things don’t change so much,” she said. “But for the younger ones, I feel sorry for them, especially those just getting into primary school and their parents. It’s going to be tough.”

In Afghanistan, COVID-19 vaccination campaign faces disbelief, cynicism, war and corruption

Kabul: Afghanistan, whose citizens have largely brushed aside the coronavirus pandemic as exaggerated or an outright hoax, is now preparing to distribute its first batch of vaccines.

A half-million doses of the AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine, produced by an Indian manufacturer, were delivered to the capital by India on 7 February. But the arrival was greeted with indifference by many Afghans, who have rebuffed government warnings that the virus is a deadly public health threat.

The cheap and easy-to-store AstraZeneca-Oxford vaccine is being delivered as part of the COVAX programme, a worldwide initiative to buy and distribute vaccines to poor countries for free or at a reduced cost. On 15 February, the World Health Organisation authorised use of the vaccine, which requires two doses per person, clearing the path for Afghanistan to begin its inoculation campaign.

Global trials have found that the vaccine offered complete protection against severe disease and death. But its efficacy against the virus variant first seen in South Africa is in question, after the vaccine failed in a small trial to prevent study participants from getting mild or moderate COVID cases.

The vaccine arrives as Afghanistan is fighting off a second deadly wave, even as most Afghans go about their daily lives as if the virus never existed. Many people refuse to wear masks and cluster in dense crowds inside bazaars, supermarkets, restaurants and mosques, oblivious to ubiquitous public health posters.

In an impoverished nation battered by war, hunger, poverty and drought, an invisible virus is considered fake or an afterthought.

“Of course I won’t take the vaccine because I don’t believe in the existence of the coronavirus,” said Muhibullah Armani, 30, a taxi driver in the southern city of Kandahar.

Expressing a sentiment shared by many Afghans, Armani added, “When I see people covering their mouth and nose, afraid of COVID, it makes me laugh at them.”

And even among Afghans who believe the virus is real and want to be inoculated, there is little faith that the government, mired in pervasive corruption, will equitably distribute limited vaccine supplies.

“This vaccine will be available just for high-status people,” said Khalil Jan Gurbazwal, a civil society activist in Khost province in eastern Afghanistan.

Nizamuddin, a tribal elder in a Taliban-controlled district in Faryab province in northern Afghanistan, said he feared the vaccine would be appropriated by well-connected politicians and warlords.

“It is common in Afghanistan for even food aid to be stolen by corrupt people,” said Nizamuddin, who like many Afghans goes by one name.

The Attorney-General’s Office said on Thursday that 74 government officials from five provinces had been charged with embezzling coronavirus response funds. Among those charged were former provincial governors and deputy governors.

In Kunduz province in northern Afghanistan, a hospital administrator told authorities that hospital officials collected medical costs for COVID-19 treatments for 50 beds in a hospital with just 25 beds, pocketing charges for “ghost workers,” the Special Inspector-General for Afghanistan Reconstruction recently reported.

“This malfeasance costs Afghan citizens not just financially, but in delayed access to potentially lifesaving medical care,” the US Embassy said in a statement. But for many Afghans, the vaccine is a solution to a problem that doesn’t exist.

As the vaccination program got underway on Tuesday, the first dose was administered at the presidential palace in Kabul to Anisa Shaheed, a television reporter who has covered the pandemic.

Distributing any vaccine in a desperately poor nation consumed by unrest is a daunting logistical challenge. In addition to overcoming public suspicions and traversing dangerous territories, the Ministry of Public Health must also navigate vaccine delivery in remote provinces with poor roads and primitive infrastructure.

The pandemic has prompted a rise in polio cases in Afghanistan because it has made it more difficult for polio teams to reach outlying areas, said Dr Osman Tahiri, public affairs advisor for the health ministry, which reported 56 polio cases in 2020, up from 29 in 2019.

But equally worrying are the 305 cases of a variant of polio in Afghanistan in 2020, versus zero such cases reported in 2019, said Merjan Rasekh, head of public awareness for the ministry’s polio eradication programme.

Rasekh attributed much of the increase in the variant polio cases to Afghan refugees returning from neighboring Pakistan, which has also struggled to eradicate polio. The WHO is expected to grant emergency approval by year’s end for a vaccine against the variant

.

While contending with a rise of polio cases, Tahiri said health workers would try to distribute the coronavirus vaccine even in Taliban-controlled areas where the militants have permitted government-run clinics. The Taliban have mounted public health programs warning of the pandemic and have distributed personal protection equipment while allowing government health workers into their areas.

But Tahiri conceded that vaccination teams will not be able to reach broad swaths of the country where fighting is heaviest between the Taliban and government forces.

A thousand vaccination teams were trained last week, Tahiri said. The ministry hopes to receive more donated vaccines; Afghanistan, he said, has a capacity to store 20 million doses.

The first doses will go to health workers and security officials “who are at risk and working in crowded places,” Tahiri said, though there is not yet enough vaccine for everyone in this category. Journalists would also be eligible to apply to receive the vaccine, he added.

Afghanistan has recorded more than 55,000 coronavirus cases and nearly 2,500 COVID-related deaths, according to the Ministry of Public Health.

But because of limited testing and an inadequate public health system, experts say the actual number of cases and deaths is exponentially higher.

A WHO model estimated in May that more than half of Afghanistan’s estimated 34 million people could become infected. The Ministry of Public Health estimated in the fall that more than 10 million Afghans may have contracted the virus.

Regardless of whether Afghans believe the virus is real, there is an abiding faith that Allah determines a believer’s fate.

Ahmad Shah Ahmadi, a resident of Khost province, said there is no need to take the vaccine. “Infidels don’t believe in God, and that’s why they fear the coronavirus. For Muslims, there is little danger,” he said.

But Imam Nazar, 46, a farmer in Kunduz province, said most residents of his village believe the virus is real because several villagers have died of COVID-19. He said he and other villagers were eager to get the vaccine but doubted that it would reach their remote town.

“This government doesn’t keep its promises,” Nazar said.

US says it looks forward to 'overarching' MoU to boost health co-operation with India

Washington: The US has said it is looking forward to an 'overarching' memorandum of understanding to enhance health partnership with India and asserted that the cooperation between the two countries on COVID-19 builds on decades of successful collaboration in health and biomedical research.

The US on Monday crossed the grim milestone of 500,000 COVID-19 deaths. With 28,184,218 coronavirus cases and 500,172 deaths due to the disease so far, as recorded by Johns Hopkins University, America is the worst-affected nation.

"We look forward to an overarching MoU to enhance health cooperation between our two countries (US and India). We are working together on developing diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccines to combat the disease (COVID-19) and to recognise the importance of manufacturing critical drugs during this time and making them accessible globally," State Department Spokesperson Ned Price told reporters at his daily news conference on Monday.

The total number of coronavirus cases in India stands at 1,10,05,850 -- the second in the world after the US. The death toll is 1,56,385 — fourth globally.

“India's pharmaceutical sector is strong and well-established and has long played a central role in manufacturing life saving vaccines for global use. We are pleased that the US pharmaceutical industry has been coordinating with Indian companies since the beginning of this pandemic,” Price said, responding to a question on India donating and supplying domestically manufactured COVID-19 vaccines to several countries across the globe.

Known as the 'pharmacy of the world', India produces 60 percent of vaccines globally. India has sent consignments of domestically manufactured coronavirus vaccines to several countries, including Nepal, Bangladesh, Bhutan, the Maldives, Seychelles, Myanmar, Mauritius, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, South Africa, Brazil and Morocco.

“When it comes to the broad issue of coordination between the United States and India on COVID-19, I would say that cooperation between our two countries builds on decades of successful partnership in health and biomedical research,” Price said.

The US is partnering with India to strengthen the global response to COVID-19 — ranging from addressing infectious disease outbreaks, strengthening health systems to securing global supply chains, he said.

India and the US recently welcomed an initiative to collaborate on infectious disease, including COVID-19 and other emerging threats, through the International Centre of Excellence and Research, Price said.

In a recent op-ed in Newsweek magazine, India’s Ambassador to the US, Taranjit Singh Sandhu, wrote that in recent years, India has emerged as the "pharmacy of the world", with great capabilities in bulk production of generic drugs and vaccines, in addition to its experience immunising a large population.

India recently stepped up to provide vaccines to neighbouring countries and other partners, including in Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Asia, he said.

The US has resources and scientific capabilities that make it a natural, complementary partner in supporting a number of other countries seeking to fight the pandemic, Sandhu wrote.

“Furthermore, from the provision of active pharmaceutical ingredients to generic medicines that have lowered drug prices and created jobs and investments, India has demonstrated its reliability as a supply chain partner, especially as de-risking from single country supplies has become a priority,” he said.

Myanmar's protests against 1 February coup are growing, defying military threats and snipers

The strikers poured onto the streets of Myanmar on Monday knowing that they might die. But they gathered by the millions anyway in the largest rallies since a military coup three weeks ago. Their only protection came from hard hats, holy amulets and the collective power of a newly-called general strike.

The generals had tried to halt Monday’s dissent with barricades and fleets of vehicles parked in strategic urban locations. Armoured vehicles patrolled, while snipers took their stations on rooftops. An ominous warning had been issued hours before on State television: “Protesters are now inciting people, especially emotional teenagers and youth, toward a path of confrontation where they will suffer a loss of life.”

But the military’s show of force did little to quell Monday’s general strike, which proceeded peacefully in hundreds of cities and towns. Columns of people extended to the horizon near a traffic junction and a pagoda in Yangon, the largest city in Myanmar, and at the railway station in Mandalay, the second-largest city. They congregated on Martyrs’ Street in Dawei, a seaside city, and by the clock towers in Monywa and Hpa-An, in the country’s centre and east.

“I will sacrifice my life for our future generations,” said Ko Bhone Nay Thit, a 19-year-old university student in Mandalay who left home Monday morning armed with his mother’s prayers and the effects of a holy water ritual. “We must win.”

The weekend had brought bloodshed to the anti-coup resistance. On Saturday afternoon, two unarmed protesters were killed by security forces in Mandalay; one of the dead was a 16-year-old boy. On Saturday evening, a member of a neighborhood watch corps in Yangon was shot dead. The day before, a 20-year-old woman died of injuries suffered when she was shot in the head on 9 February by security forces in Nay Pyi Daw, the capital. She is believed to be the first protester in the movement to have been killed by authorities.

The general strike on Monday encompassed civil servants, bank workers, doctors, supermarket cashiers, telecom operators and oil rig operators.

Pizza deliverers, KFC employees and bubble tea servers joined in, too. The national boycott expanded a civil disobedience movement that has paralyzed the banking system and made it difficult for the military, which seized power from the elected government on 1 February, to get much of anything done.

The strike evoked an 8 August, 1988 mass boycott when workers took to the streets to protest against a military leadership that had ruined the economy. The junta responded with bullets, a bloodstain on Myanmar’s national memory.

But that deadly crackdown, along with another in 2007, did not deter the marchers Monday.

In Mandalay, Htay Shwe, a restaurant owner, said she had written her will before joining the rally at the train station.

“I will protect our country’s democracy with my life,” she said.

In Yangon, marchers stomped on posters of a sniper who is believed to have targeted the protesters in Mandalay on Saturday. A group representing a military technical college joined the march.

“I cannot live under a military dictatorship,” said Myint Myint, a homemaker in Yangon, who was out in the hot afternoon sun. “Our leaders, whom we elected, trusted and respected, are arrested. I am here to express my opinion that I want them to be freed.”

The coup ousted the civilian government of the National League for Democracy, which had shared power with the military for five years. Top elected leaders were dragged off by soldiers, including Aung San Suu Kyi, the head of the National League for Democracy, who was charged with obscure crimes that could land her in prison for six years.

Before the brief experiment with hybrid military-civilian governance, the military had imposed its direct rule on Myanmar for nearly half a century.

As of Monday morning, more than 560 people had been detained for dissent against the coup, according to a local group that tracks political imprisonments. By the afternoon, at least 150 protesters were arrested in the logging town of Pyinmana, not far from Nay Pyi Daw, where mass detentions were reported, too. The State Administration Council, the coup-makers’ replacement for Myanmar’s elected government, has rolled back civil liberties, allowing for indefinite detention and police searches without warrants.

On Monday morning Myanmar time, Antony Blinken, the United States secretary of state, posted a tweet in support of the protesters in Myanmar, which was formerly known as Burma.

“The United States will continue to take firm action against those who perpetrate violence against the people of Burma as they demand the restoration of their democratically elected government,” the tweet said. “We stand with the people of Burma.”

The US government has imposed financial sanctions on some of the coup-makers and their associates. Other sanctions were already in place because of the military’s persecution of ethnic minorities, most notably Rohingya Muslims, who fled slaughter in 2017 for safety in neighboring Bangladesh.

On Monday, the United Nations refugee agency warned in a statement that a boat filled with Rohingya trying to reach Malaysia was in distress. Hundreds of Rohingya have died at sea in recent years, trying to leave Myanmar or Bangladesh, where they are confined to vast refugee settlements.

“Many are in a highly vulnerable condition and are apparently suffering from extreme dehydration,” the UN statement said. “We understand that a number of refugees have already lost their lives, and that fatalities have risen over the past 24 hours.”

Suu Kyi’s civilian government repeatedly defended the military in its campaign against the Rohingya, whom many in Myanmar considered to be Muslim interlopers in a majority-Buddhist land. The violent expulsion of 750,000 Rohingya from the country in 2017 failed to catalyze widespread protests or condemnation at home.

But one of the groups marching in Yangon on Monday held up a banner apologizing to the Rohingya and other ethnic minorities, who make up at least one-third of the national population.

In recent years, strife between the military and various ethnic insurgent groups has left hundreds dead and tens of thousands displaced. On Friday, a civilian was killed in Shan state during renewed hostilities.

One of the two protesters who were shot in Mandalay on Saturday was Ko Wai Yan Tun, a 16-year-old boy who had come to work in the city. To survive, he pushed a cart at a local market, where the stall operators called him “little boy.”

As the protests mounted near the market, Wai Yan Tun joined as a duty to his future, said Ko Myo Zaw, a friend.

“He always said his life would be perfect when he had a mobile phone and a motorbike,” Myo Zaw said. “He was a nice guy.”
