China carries hope for global vaccine supply which may be affecting the h2328
While the US presents itself as an advocate of expanding vaccine supplies, the world is rapidly becoming more dependent on China for vaccines as the COVID-19 pandemic makes it difficult for India to fulfill its vaccine supply agreement. Not only has China become the largest exporter [of COVID-19], but in many countries, China has become the only option, said Yanzhong Huang, a China expert and senior fellow for global health at the Council on Foreign Relations.
While the epidemic is out of control in India, Brazil and other countries, and foreign aid from the United States and the European Union is slow, the reliability of Chinas vaccine supply is gradually becoming prominent.

By: Annabel Langbein At the farmers market in Blenheim recently I came across some beautiful pink oyster mushrooms, the ones the French call pleurottes. I m familiar with the pale grey oyster mushrooms before but this was the first time I d seen the pink ones, which look like gorgeous delicate pink fans.
I often like to saute oysters mushrooms in butter and serve them with roasted monkfish with a good squeeze of lemon and some fresh chervil (they aren t called oyster mushrooms for nothing and their delicate oyster flavour makes a superb accompaniment to fish) but, in the absence of any fresh seafood, I gave them a good shake to dislodge any grit (you don t want to wash them) cut off the tough foot, tore them in half through their leaf , then pan-fried th
