As people weary of being cooped up during a pandemic winter look forward to a summer outside, residents across the northeastern United States are once again confronted with a familiar virulent pathogen lurking in the woods and fields. Unlike coronavirus, however, this dangerous microorganism doesn’t float through the air it enters the body through the bite of a tick.
Lyme disease has been a constant scourge since it was identified five decades ago on the Connecticut coastline, before spreading across the New England and Mid-Atlantic states. Caused by the bacterium
Borrelia burgdorferi (and its cousin
Borrelia mayonii), the disease has long baffled scientists with its strangely stealthy manifestations.

Before Covid, tourism was at this point where everything was about tourists. With the one-year anniversary of travel s collapse, Hawaii, like other overtouristed places, is hoping for a reset.

There will be over over 200 courses designed to adhere to the schedules of busy riders
Food delivery platform Foodpanda is helping delivery riders to upgrade their skills through a partnership with e-learning platform Gnowbe and Singapore’s Temasek Polytechnic.
The partnership will see the birth of an e-learning portal that is accessible to more than 10,000 Foodpanda riders and will provide them courses like customer service, finance, digital skills and personal branding.
Foodpanda hopes this will help its riders as the platform has expanded beyond food delivery, delivering on-demand groceries, flowers and household essentials.
“Our riders are an essential part of our delivery ecosystem, and it is important that we create a community where riders are given the opportunity and tools to grow themselves professionally,” said Lim Zheng Gang, the head of logistics at Foodpanda Singapore.
