Late reporting caused most Coronavirus deaths - PTF

 

Late reporting caused most Coronavirus deaths - PTF

The Presidential Task Force (PTF) has revealed that most of the COVID-19 deaths recorded in the country was as a result of reporting late for treatment. 

 

Minister of Health Dr. Osagie Ehanire who said this during the briefing of the PTF on COVID-19 in Abuja, stated that some late Coronavirus patients reported to health facilities when their conditions had worsened.

 

Ehanire said; 

 

 “As of this morning, the Federal Ministry of Health has recorded 56,604 covid-19 positive cases out of a total of 482,321 samples tested, giving a positivity rate of 11.7 per cent.  47,872 persons have been treated and discharged, but we have sadly lost 1,091 persons to the disease.

“Our objective is still to lower the case fatality rate to less than one per cent, but an additional challenge we have observed is that most fatalities are among those reporting late for treatment, when their clinical condition has worsened.

“The delay in deciding whether or when to go for treatment is what we must fight. I, therefore, renew my plea to all those who test positive, are 60 years or older and have underlying health conditions, to report immediately to a treatment facility.”

 

The Minister also called on members of Joint Health Sector Union (JOHESU) “to put the plight, safety and wellbeing of their patients into consideration, and to call off the ongoing strike, while differences are being addressed by negotiation”.

TikTok, WeChat to be banned from U.S. app stores this Sunday

 


TikTok, WeChat to be banned from U.S. app stores this Sunday

The Department of Commerce has announced that TikTok and WeChat will be banned from app stores in the U.S. from Sunday, September 20, amid national security concerns.

 

In a press release on Friday September 18, the department stated: 'In response to President Trump's Executive Orders signed August 6, 2020, the Department of Commerce (Commerce) today announced prohibitions on transactions relating to mobile applications (apps) WeChat and TikTok to safeguard the national security of the United States. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has demonstrated the means and motives to use these apps to threaten the national security, foreign policy, and the economy of the U.S. Today's announced prohibitions, when combined, protect users in the U.S. by eliminating access to these applications and significantly reducing their functionality.

 

The following transactions will be prohibited:

  1. Any provision of service to distribute or maintain the WeChat or TikTok mobile applications, constituent code, or application updates through an online mobile application store in the U.S.
  2. Any provision of services through the WeChat mobile application for the purpose of transferring funds or processing payments within the U.S.

 

The statement further says that as of September 20 for WeChat and November 12 for TikTok, the following transactions will be prohibited:

 

  1. Any provision of internet hosting services enabling the functioning or optimization of the mobile application in the U.S.;
  2. Any provision of content delivery network services enabling the functioning or optimization of the mobile application in the U.S.;
  3. Any provision directly contracted or arranged internet transit or peering services enabling the function or optimization of the mobile application within the U.S.;
  4. Any utilization of the mobile application's constituent code, functions, or services in the functioning of software or services developed and/or accessible within the U.S.

 

These measures ensure TikTok and WeChat will be removed from iOS and Google Play starting Sunday, preventing users from downloading the apps or updating them in the future.

 

It was also stated that TikTok has until November 12 to resolve the national security concerns it poses. If this is done, the ban may be lifted.

 

President Trump has repeatedly said that TikTok, which is owned by the Chinese internet company ByteDance, poses a national security threat because of its Chinese ties. He advised that TikTok’s US operations be sold to an American company.

 

The new development comes days after American computer technology giant, Oracle Corporation reportedly won the bidding for TikTok's US operations after the Chinese app rejected Microsoft.

Kenyan woman confesses to intentionally infecting many men with HIV because they don't want to use protection

 

Kenyan woman confesses to intentionally infecting many men with HIV because they don

A Kenyan woman, Jackline Njoki Mwangi has revealed that she knowingly infected men with HIV to punish them for not using protection.

 

Mwangi, also known as Kiki wa Ng’endo, was first diagnosed with HIV as a teenager after sleeping with men for money to take care of herself and her nephew. This was after her mother left her and her sister in the care of their aunt to go and work in the United States.

 

The 36-year-old, who made the startling revelation on Thursday September 17, in an interview with Kenya's online news portal, TUKO, justified her action saying she picked the disease from an infected person who also did not care to warn her.

 

Mwangi said it was her sexual partners’ responsibilities to protect themselves and not hers.

 

"At the end of the day, I can not be your keeper. You know you do not know me. I am not related to you yet you want to have sex with me, why don't you wear a condom or take a test with me if I am comfortable and if I am not, ask me to wear a condon?" she posed.

 

Kiki further revealed she decided to go public with her status because she wanted men to stop approaching her for sex after she developed complications in her private parts.

 

According to her, the condition has made her lose interest in sex after 18 years of selling her body to sexually hungry men for money.

 

She also wanted to warn men against sleeping with every woman they come across, create awareness and ask her family to stop insulting her every other time.

 

She blamed her woes on her mother who she claimed despised and mistreated her after she left the country to work in the US.

 

According to Kiki, her mother would send money to their aunt but she never took care of them and when their mother learned of her new escapades, she mistreated her till date.

 

She had to drop out of high school and when her uncle tried talking her into going back to school, that was when she tested positive for HIV. 

 

“It was heartbreaking, I stayed without taking medication but was just pushing on with life. At some point I went upcountry and came back to Nairobi and that was when I attempted suicide,” she said. 

 

Kiki now decries being abandoned by both her family and friends who know about her status. The stigmatisation she faced has left her depressed and emotionally drained.

Queen Elizabeth II strips Harvey Weinstein of his CBE after he was jailed for 23 years for rape in New York

 

 Queen Elizabeth II strips Harvey Weinstein of his CBE after he was jailed for 23 years for rape in New York

The Queen of England has stripped Harvey Weinstein of his 2004 Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire honor (CBE), for contribution to the British film industry, after he was convicted of rape in New York.

 

The disgraced film producer, 68, was sentenced to 23 years in prison by a US court in February. 

 

A notice in The Gazette, the UK's official public record, today announced the Queen had directed the honour to be 'cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order.'

It read: 'The Queen has directed that the appointment of Harvey Weinstein to be an Honorary Commander of the Civil Division of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, dated January 19 2004, shall be cancelled and annulled and that his name shall be erased from the Register of the said Order.'

 

Before now, Senior Labour MP Chi Onwurah called for the CBE to be removed from Weinstein, when several women came forward to allege serious sexual misconduct.

 

More than 80 women including actresses, Ashley Judd, Angelina Jolie, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Léa Seydoux made harassment claims against Weinstein before he was convicted.
