Bangalore / New Delhi, Jul 20 (EFE/EPA).- The official Covid-19 death toll in India stood at around 400,000 at the end of June 2021 but the reality could be “catastrophically worse,” with estimates of excess deaths in the Asian country during the pandemic being as high as 4 million according to a new research published Tuesday.Excess mortality is an estimation of the number of deaths from all causes during a crisis that are above normal levels.Earlier this year, India was overwhelmed by a huge second wave of Covid-19, which pushed the country’s hospitals to the brink amid a shortage of oxygen and medical supplies.

Flu cases may spike in late winter after months of low infection rates. Experts are reluctant to predict a mild season too soon, according to ScienceMag. But many are ready to declare that COVID-19 control measures have prevented lots of flu illnesses. COVID measures dramatically tamped down the flu and other respiratory viruses that we usually face. The World Health Organization says flu activity in the Northern Hemisphere is at “interseasonal levels." That means it’s as low as in an ordinary summer.
Democratic Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Republican Sen. Rand Paul are publicly feuding. What are they fighting over? Whether members of Congress should receive a COVID-19 vaccine before healthcare workers and the elderly. Paul argued that it would be "inappropriate" to jump the line ahead of frontline workers and the elderly. AOC insisted that lawmakers need to set an example for Americans and instill confidence about the vaccine. The government has made vaccines available to members of Congress in order to ensure continuity of government and protect national security.
