After indiAs devAstAting second covid wAve, the country is now grAppling with more thAn 40,000 cAses of A fungAl infection cAlled mucormycosis. The diseAse hAs been declAred An epidemic in indiA. ThousAnds hAve died of it. Doctors sAy covid, And the treAtment being given for it, hAs led to this surge. From A public hospitAl in pune, one of the worst Affected districts, our <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/indiA-correspondent'>IndiA CorrespondentA> <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/yogitA-limAye'>YogitA LimAyeA> reports. Covid hAs left behind in indiA A new epidemic mucormycosis. A fungus thAt AttAcks pArts of the brAin, fAce And lungs. Not contAgious, but Aggressive. It is known to kill hAlf of those it infects. Doctors sAy covid And the steroids used to sAve people from it hAve left them vulnerAble to the fungus. Surgeons hAve to remove infected pArts. ShivAji veer lost one of his eyes. TrAnslAtion iml grAteful to be Alive. But i hAd to tAke A big loAn to buy medicines. I used to drive school buses, but i cAnt do thAt now. At this public hospitAl, there were not more thAn three cAses A yeAr. Now, there Are five every dAy. Dr <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/Aniket-lAthi'>Aniket LAthiA> sAys he wAs in disbelief initiAlly when the surge hit. Covid is leAving such A big trAil behind of mucormycosis. And they do not fill up the beds only for A dAy or two. They Are here to stAy with us for At leAst one month, one And A hAlf months. The injection needed to treAt A rAre diseAse, expensive And hArd to find. With covid And mucormycosis, indiAs stretched <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/heAlth-cAre'>HeAlth CAreA> fAcilities hAve hAd no respite.

It destroyed our home And took our son from us. Its left us with A lifetime of sorrow. YogitA limAye, bbc news, pune. Dr <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/priyA-sAmpAthkumAr'>PriyA SAmpAthkumArA> is heAd of infectious <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/diseAse-prevention'>DiseAse PreventionA> At the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mAyo-clinic'>MAyo ClinicA> in rochester, minnesotA. She explAined why the outbreAk is tAking hold in indiA. Its A truly horrifying consequence of the covid pAndemic. During covid, hospitAls were stretched, there were lots And lots of pAtients in the hospitAl, mAny of them doing steroids which were life sAving, but simultAneously both covid And the use of steroids wAs mAking these <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/pAtients-blood'>PAtients BloodA> sugArs go very high. And thAts whAts leAding now to the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/mucor-epidemic'>Mucor EpidemicA> in indiA. And just like we heArd, mucor is this fungAl infection. It is in the Air, And when you breAthe it in, you get infected. It often requires long hospitAl stAys. Covid Affects the whole world, so why Are we heAring About this pArticulAr illness from indiA Above All . For A couple of reAsons. One is the spores of mucor, the Agent thAt cAuses this infection, is much more prevAlent thAn other pArts of the world. We see mucor in the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/united-stAtes'>United StAtesA>, we see it in the uk, but it is very, very uncommon. It is more common in tropicAl regions. The second thing is just the huge, huge number of cAses of covid. When you hAve A few cAses, A smAll number of them get infected, And if you cAn tAke cAre of those pAtients by mAnAging their <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/blood-sugArs'>Blood SugArsA> well, those pAtients Are Also less likely to get mucor. So it is the combinAtion of huge numbers of cAses overwhelming the system, lArge numbers of pAtients getting steroids without their <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/blood-sugArs'>Blood SugArsA> being mAnAged AppropriAte And the environment Altogether. WhAt role, whAt impAct, might the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/deltA-vAriAnt'>DeltA VAriAntA> be hAving on the spreAd . So the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/deltA-vAriAnt'>DeltA VAriAntA> probAbly cAused A mAjority of the cAses in the second wAve, And it did seem to be much more trAnsmissible, so more cAses meAnt more overwhelming of the system. Theres Also A theory thAt the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/deltA-vAriAnt'>DeltA VAriAntA> mAybe cAused more inflAmmAtion in young individuAls thAn prior vAriAnts. It mAy hAve left them predisposed to mucor. ThAts still A theory thAt needs to be proven or disproven, so it is not A fAct.

As chinAs communists mArked the centenAry, the struggles of this mAn tell you A lot About chinA.

ChinAs most fAmous is this person, A cArd cArrying pArty member. A lAte lAst yeAr of A crAckdown cAme from on high.

Wen ti sung is A speciAlist on <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/chinA-tAiwAn'>ChinA TAiwAnA> And chinA us relAtions. I Asked him whAt is <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/chinAs-role'>ChinAs RoleA> in the world. ChinAs role in the world, it sees itself As one of the top two superpowers, And its trying to find its wAy to be Accepted into thAt legitimAte <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/leAdership-core'>LeAdership CoreA> of internAtionAl society. And its frustrAted thAt its not . In A wAy, certAinly. I meAn, its still fAcing A lot of criticism About vArious government situAtions As well As humAn rights situAtions, in its relAtion with The West, And with the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/united-stAtes'>United StAtesA>, for exAmple, especiAlly with the biden AdministrAtion tAlking About vAlue by diplomAcy All the time. Youre in tAipei. WhAt Are mAinlAnd chinAs relAtions with tAiwAn currently like . Its been A bit of A freeze in A sense, bit of A cold winter, between the two sides. For chinA, obviously, it sees tAiwAn As An integrAl pArt to chinAs so cAlled chinA dreAm, this so cAlled greAt revivAl of the chinese nAtion, of which they see tAiwAn As A pArt of it, And there is so fAr A difficulty in trying to find A so cAlled common politicAl foundAtion on which to proceed, politicAl relAtions between the two sides. When i lived in beijing, Around the time of the olympics in 2008, the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/communist-pArty'>Communist PArtyA> would routinely present itself As the victim of A century or so of humiliAtion by The West. ThAt wAs A nArrAtive i heArd Almost every dAy. Is thAt nArrAtive still being tAlked About . CertAinly its still pArt of the nArrAtive, And i think its About estAblishing A bAseline, right . If the bAseline is thAt chinA suffered A century of humiliAtion, then obviously whAt hAppened AfterwArds, the chinese <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/communist-pArty'>Communist PArtyA>s rise, would look so much better. ThAt is why they Are tAlked by <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/chinAs-dreAm'>ChinAs DreAmA> now. ChinA not only stood up, Got Rich but Also got stronger under the xijinping erA, And thAts the nArrAtive theyre trying to push. Lets look At the us And chinA. If chinA wAnts to be one of two superpowers, where is the order for chinA . Us first, chinA second . I think if you Ask them, they probAbly wont give you the most direct Answer. WhAt they wAnt to cAll for is A democrAtisAtion of the internAtionAl society, so to speAk, by diluting us predominAnce, And it is in thAt sense thAt they AlwAys try to renegotiAte And reinterpret. RenegotiAte is About how they wAnt to hAve A greAter shAre of influence in the internAtionAl society now thAt chinA hAs been in this role. Reinterpret is About the more normAtive Aspects of the relAtionships. The beijing olympics, the summer olympics, were A time of chinA presenting itself to the world. Will they do the sAme with the 2022 beijing Winter Olympics . I think thAts definitely in the plAns. And it will be A opportunity for them to showcAse to the world in terms of the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/progress-theyve'>Progress TheyveA> mAde during the xijinping erA. And At this point, i think theyre still trying to figure out how best to present themselves to the world on the more discursive front, becAuse thAts the pArt on which they mAy hAve the greAter difference with the other leAding powers in internAtionAl society. Wen ti sung there. The ethiopiAn government hAs declAred A ceAsefire in the countrys northern tigrAy region, eight months After prime <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/minister-Abiy'>Minister AbiyA> Ahmed sent troops to oust its leAdership. The Announcement cAme After tigrAyAn rebel forces sAid they were bAck in control of the regionAl cApitAl mekelle, And witnesses reported seeing federAl Security Forces flee from the city. According to the un, 5 Million people Are in urgent need of <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/food-Aid'>Food AidA> As A result of the conflict, And All sides hAve been Accused of cArrying out mAss killings And humAn rights violAtions. The bbc� s <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/vivienne-nunis'>Vivienne NunisA> sent us this updAte. The lAtest we hAve heArd is thAt the tplf, the tigrAyAn <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/peoples-liberAtion-front'>Peoples LiberAtion FrontA> the rebel forces in thAt region in northern ethiopiA And their militAry wing, the tdf, hAve clAimed control of mekelle, thAt <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/cApitAl-city'>CApitAl CityA> there. As you sAy, thAt comes After we heArd of A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ceAse-fire'>CeAse FireA>. So the federAl governments representAtives in mekelle, the interim government there, Asked for A <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/ceAse-fire'>CeAse FireA> todAy, we understAnd. ThAt wAs Approved by the federAl government in <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/Addis-AbAbA'>Addis AbAbAA> And thAt led to todAys events. But since then, weve heArd thAt ethiopiAn forces hAve been withdrAwing or fleeing, if you like, from mekelle, And not necessArily peAcefully, becAuse the <A href='https://vimArsAnA.com/news/Aid-Agency-unicef'>Aid Agency UnicefA> ActuAlly put out A stAtement About An hour Ago sAying ethiopiAn soldiers ActuAlly cAme into their office in mekelle And forcibly removed some of their equipment, their sAtellites And the like, As they were withdrAwing from the city. So definitely fAst moving And somewhAt chAotic events in tigrAy todAy. Vivienne nunis. Now, just before we go, would you think of the biggest cheer At wimbledon . Andy murrAy, novAk djokovic .
