Uncategorized

‘Immediate danger’: Half of world’s workforce could lose livelihood due to Covid-19, UN agency warns The International Labour Organization (ILO) has warned that around half of the world’s workforce, or 1.6 billion workers, are at imminent risk of losing their livelihood because of the economic impact of the coronavirus pandemic. In its latest report, the UN agency stated that those hardest hit by the financial effects of the Covid-19 outbreak have been ‘informal economy’ workers, including the self-employed and those on a short-term contract. “The first month of the crisis is estimated to have resulted in a drop of 60 percent in the income of informal workers globally,” the ILO said of the economic damage already caused by the pandemic. ...

Golfer John Daly apologizes after suggesting downing BOTTLE OF VODKA a day will fight coronavirus (VIDEO) The beer-swilling, cigar-smoking John Daly likely isn't somebody that fans should be taking health tips from, but nonetheless he has been forced to apologize after saying that a steady diet of vodka will help fight off Covid-19. Daly has a history of alcohol and gambling addiction through his storied career, which saw the former Open and USPGA champion emerge as one of golf's biggest names in the 1990s and early 2000s. However, given an almost innate predisposition to burning the candle at both ends, Daly's career stagnated towards mediocrity soon after - and with the titles, accolades and adulation almost entirely dried up, the 54-year-old contin...

Uncategorized

Turkey vows to ‘defend’ Tripoli-based govt against Haftar ‘dictatorship’ in Libya Ankara on Wednesday accused eastern Libya’s commander Khalifa Haftar of seeking to “create a military dictatorship” and vowed to “defend” the country's Tripoli-based government.

Uncategorized

Questions raised as UK Ministry of Defence tests if insect repellent can KILL Covid-19 The UK’s Ministry of Defence is conducting tests into whether an insect repellent can kill Covid-19, but questions are being raised about the scientific and ethical basis of the research. The active ingredient found in many brands of insect repellent, citriodiol, is known to kill other types of coronaviruses, so scientists at Britain’s defense laboratory at Porton Down are examining if it can combat the latest one, which causes Covid-19. It comes after some British soldiers were issued with insect repellent last week. Use of the repellent is said to be optional and soldiers working as part of the UK’s efforts to tackle the virus are using it in conjunction with hand...
