REUTERS/Ricardo ArduengoSAO PAULO, Nov 16 (Reuters) - The cholera situation in Haiti continues to worsen while COVID-19 cases rose over the past week, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) said on Wednesday. Haitian health authorities have confirmed over 700 cases of cholera and 144 cholera-related deaths since early October, and are investigating more than 7,000 suspected cases, PAHO Director Dr. Carissa Etienne said. The Americas are facing a “triple threat” of respiratory diseases, as COVID-19, Influenza and Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV) burden the region and its health systems, PAHO said. There was a 17% rise in COVID-19 cases, and deaths increased in South America and Central America over the past week, Etienne said. Although the Americas are still the region most impacted by monkeypox, PAHO said cases have fallen in most of the severely affected countries.

☆ Fact Check-Falsehoods about how monkeypox is transmitted resurface online
▼ + stars: | 2022-10-21 | by ( Reuters Fact Check | ) www.reuters.com time to read: +2 min

Popular Instagram posts in mid-October have recirculated false claims that monkeypox can only be transmitted by sexual relations among men. It is transmitted through droplets and close contact with an infected person, as well as through contaminated objects. The peak of new U.S. monkeypox cases so far was registered during July and August of this year, according to the CDC. Monkeypox is not exclusively transmitted in sexual relations between men. The virus can be transmitted through close contact with an infected person, droplets, and contaminated objects.

MEXICO CITY, Oct 17 (Reuters) - As monkeypox continues to impact gay and bisexual men in dozens of countries around the world, at-risk Mexicans are going abroad for vaccines they say their government has not bothered to make available at home. Register now for FREE unlimited access to Reuters.com RegisterHerbel, 38, said he wanted the vaccine because half of his friends currently have or have had monkeypox. Mexico City resident Juan David Zuluaga, 32, flew to Tijuana last week to get vaccinated across the U.S.-Mexico border in San Diego. Mexico's government has reported 2,147 confirmed cases of monkeypox since May, a number advocates in the gay community say far undercounts cases. "Those with visas and money will get vaccinated and those without will have to resign themselves to eventually getting monkeypox," Baruch said.

Oct 16 (Reuters) - Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation said on Sunday that it will commit $1.2 billion to support efforts to end all forms of polio globally. Polio is a highly infectious disease spread mainly through contamination by faecal matter, used to kill and paralyse thousands of children annually. Governments and foundations aim to end polio in Pakistan and Afghanistan, the last two countries where the virus continues to circulate. But our foundation remains dedicated to a polio-free future, and we're optimistic that we will see it soon," said Mark Suzman, CEO of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, which is run by Microsoft Corp (MSFT.O) co-founder Bill Gates and his ex-wife Melinda French Gates. The Gates Foundation is part of the GPEI, a major project between governments and international organisations.

☆ Președintele Venezuelei, Nicolas Maduro, propune petrol în schimbul vaccinurilor anti-COVID
▼ + stars: | 2021-03-29 | by ( Onixmedia Srl | ) diez.md time to read: +2 min

„Venezuela are petroliere şi are clienţi care vor să cumpere petrolul său”, a spus Maduro într-un discurs susţinut la televiziunea de stat. „Suntem deja pregătiţi pentru [schema] petrol în schimbul vaccinurilor, însă nu vom implora pe nimeni”, a adăugat el. Venezuela a primit doze de vaccin de la aliaţii săi Rusia şi China. Washingtonul îl consideră pe Maduro – a cărui ţară a intrat în colaps economic de când el a preluat puterea, în 2013 – drept un dictator care a manipulat alegerile prezidenţiale din 2018 şi care a încălcat drepturile omului prin persecuţiile declanşate împotriva disidenţilor. La rândul său, Maduro susţine că Washingtonul urmăreşte să-l înlăture de la putere printr-o lovitură de stat pentru a controla rezervele de petrol ale Venezuelei, cele mai mari din lume, potrivit unor estimări.

☆ Cifre alarmante! La fiecare 36 de secunde, un om a murit de COVID-19 în SUA, în ajunul Zilei Recunoștinței

Statele Unite au înregistrat, pentru a doua zi la rând, peste 2.000 de decese din cauza noului coronavirus. Miercuri, în ajunul Zilei Recunoștinței, americanii au înregistrat cel mai trist bilanț din ultimele 6 luni: peste 2.400 de oameni au murit, potrivit datelor centralizate de universitatea Johns Hopkins. Unul după altul, statele încep să reintroducă restricții, chiar dacă a început perioada sărbătorilor. Creşterea rapidă a numărului de infectări a continuat în Statele Unite, iar fenomenul s-a accelerat în mai multe ţări de pe continentele americane. În Canada, numărul infecţiilor a crescut în special în rândul persoanelor vârstnice şi în interiorul comunităţilor indigene, a precizat Jarbas Barbosa.

Numărul noilor îmbolnăviri a urcat din nou până la 200.000. Unul după altul, statele încep să reintroducă restricții, chiar dacă a început perioada sărbătorilor. Filiala regională a Organizaţiei Mondiale a Sănătăţii pentru cele două Americi le-a recomandat locuitorilor de pe aceste continente să îşi amâne sau să îşi reducă participarea la reuniunile în masă pe durata apropiatului sezon al sărbătorilor de iarnă, întrucât numărul infectărilor cu noul coronavirus a început din nou să crească în această parte a lumii. PAHO nu le recomandă americanilor să se bazeze pe testele de laborator pentru a călători, întrucât acestea nu garantează călătorii sigure şi nici nu elimină riscul de a contracta virusul de la călători infectaţi. Creşterea rapidă a numărului de infectări a continuat în Statele Unite, iar fenomenul s-a accelerat în mai multe ţări de pe continentele americane.

Fondurile vor veni în completarea celor 400 de milioane EUR, reprezentând garanţii pe care UE le-a angajat deja pentru COVAX, Uniunea devenind astfel unul dintre principalii donatori. Garanţia în valoare de 400 de milioane EUR a fost, de asemenea, semnată joia aceasta. Cifrele includ, de asemenea, noi contribuţii anunţate astăzi de Franţa (100 de milioane EUR), Spania (50 de milioane EUR) şi Finlanda (2 milioane EUR). La această acţiune, Team Europe a contribuit astfel: statele membre ale UE (3,1 miliarde EUR), Comisia Europeană (peste 1,4 miliarde EUR) şi BEI (aproape 2 miliarde EUR promise în mai şi 4,9 miliarde EUR promise în iunie). Participarea UE la COVAX va fi complementară negocierilor UE aflate în curs de desfăşurare cu societăţile farmaceutice care produc vaccinuri, lansate în cadrul Strategiei UE privind vaccinurile.
