Top medical journal calls for three urgent steps against COVID-19
In an analysis, the Lancet COVID-19 Commission has called for three urgent actions in the COVID-19 response.
"First, all regions with high rates of new COVID-19 cases, including the USA and the European Union (EU), should intensify measures to minimise community transmission and deploy COVID-19 vaccines rapidly," read the Lancet medical journal in its latest publication.
Second, governments should urgently and fully fund WHO and the Access to COVID-19 Tools (ACT) Accelerator, including COVAX.
Third, the G20 countries should empower the International Monetary Fund (IMF) and multilateral development banks to increase the scale of financing and debt relief.
Success on all three priorities--containment of transmission, rapid vaccination, and emergency finance--will require improved global cooperation, it said.
New lineages are increasing transmission of infection and raising risks in regions that have been less affected by COVID-19, including in sub-Saharan Africa.
Additionally, acquired immunity from earlier COVID-19 infections might be less protective against reinfection with some of the new SARS-CoV-2 variants.
Mutant lineages might also reduce the efficacy of COVID-19 vaccines and require adapted vaccines or boosters."* The medical journal also pointed out that at least half of the world's population lacks access to essential health services.
Eva Longoria has revealed that she and her family have moved out of the United States. In a new interview with publication Marie Claire, Longoria said of the U.S., "I had my whole adult life here. But even before [the pandemic], it was changing. The vibe was different. And then COVID happened, and it pushed it over the edge. Whether it's the homelessness or the taxes, not that I want to s*** on California — it just feels like this chapter in my life is done now."

A Western nation backing Ukraine is reportedly considering diplomatic talks with Russian President Putin, as officials remain skeptical of Zelensky’s ‘victory plan,’ viewing it as unrealistic. Zelensky, opposed to peace talks, seeks NATO guarantees, financial support, and permission to strike Russian targets. Moscow warns such actions would be seen as a NATO act of war. Potential talks may take place before the G20 meeting in November, amid ongoing tensions.
