An open letter signed by 10 Wuhan professors argues that the Chinese government needs to enforce its own freedom of speech articles in the Constitution of the People’s Republic of China.
The letter follows the death of Li Wenliang, a Wuhan doctor who was reprimanded by police for “making false comments” after warning people about the Wuhan coronavirus – which he later contracted.
The open letter, along with another letter signed by academics around China, demands that the government apologize to and compensate coronavirus whistleblowers and make Li a national martyr.

All permits granted for flights between Vietnam and China, including Hong Kong and Macau as well as self-ruled Taiwan which China claims as its territory, have been revoked until further notice, the government said in a statement.

NORWICH: The SARS outbreak in 2002 to 2003 was the first global pandemic of the 21st century.
There were over 8,400 reported cases and 11 per cent of those infected with the virus died. Its cause was a newly identified coronavirus (a type of virus that causes respiratory infections): SARS Co-V.

As the new Wuhan coronavirus has spread not only all over mainland China, but also worldwide, panic is rising. Inside China there is a growing sense of helplessness, as the government is compelled to take drastic measures to stop the virus, including introducing some travel restrictions in Beijing. I have received panicked queries from journalists and public health workers in China, asking, “How can we protect ourselves and our families?” Tiếp tục đọc “The Wuhan Virus: How to Stay Safe”→
TĐH: Một bệnh dịch có vẻ như là SARS (Hội chứng hô hấp cấp tính nặng; tiếng Anh: Severe acute respiratory syndrome, viết tắ SARS) đang trỗi lên ở Vũ Hán, Trung u, và đã lan sang Hồng Kông, Singapore, Taiwan. Nhà nước Trung Quốc cố tình giấu nhẹm và dọa bỏ tù người dân nào nói về việc này trên Internet. Năm 2002 và 2003 SARS xuất hiện ở Hồng Kông và sau đó lan ra thành đại dịch lớn cho cả thế giới. Hiện nay có rất nhiều du khách Trung quốc sang Việt Nam chơi. Chính phủ VN cần có biện pháp ngăn bệnh ngay tại các cảng vào Việt Nam.

On an early spring morning, a humming drone hovered over a small town in Bahia, Brazil. Three hundred feet above ground, a small canister clicked open, ejecting its contents into the mouth of the release mechanism below. For a moment, there was silence. Then, a swarm of mosquitoes, freshly awoken from icy slumber, stretched their wings and took flight. Tiếp tục đọc “Do Not Fear the Drones Air-Dropping 50,000 Mosquitoes From Above”→

The global community is coming together to tackle an ancient disease that still inflicts interminable human suffering. Globally, one person dies of TB every 20 seconds. While progress has been made over the past decade much remains to be done. Annually, there are still 10.4 million new cases and 1.7 million deaths. One of the key challenges is to find the 4 million missing cases, individuals who develop TB but are missed by health systems and continue to transmit the disease. With the global commitment to end TB, there is a renewed sense of hope in the battle against TB.
Lives and faces behind the numbers
On a hot afternoon in New Delhi, a 45-year old woman explained to visiting guests the devastation unleashed on her family when several members were diagnosed with multi-drug resistant tuberculosis (MDR-TB), a lethal form of the disease. Due to delayed diagnosis and overcrowding, the disease spread to other family members and several succumbed, including the main breadwinner.

Summary:Scientists find that global warming has allowed disease-bearing insects to proliferate, increasing exposure to viral infections.
FULL STORY
Spurred on by climate change, international travel and international trade, disease-bearing insects are spreading to ever-wider parts of the world.
This means that more humans are exposed to viral infections such as Dengue fever, Chikungunya, Zika, West Nile fever, Yellow fever and Tick-borne encephalitis.
For many of these diseases, there are as yet no specific antiviral agents or vaccines.
