As of June 13, 2023, there have been almost 768 million cases of coronavirus (COVID-19) worldwide. The disease has impacted almost every country and territory in the world, with the United States confirming around 16 percent of all global cases.

COVID-19: An unprecedented crisis Health systems around the world were initially overwhelmed by the number of coronavirus cases, and even the richest and most prepared countries struggled. In the most vulnerable countries, millions of people lacked access to critical life-saving supplies, such as test kits, face masks, and respirators. However, several vaccines have been approved for use, and more than 13 billion vaccine doses had already been administered worldwide as of March 2023.

The coronavirus in the United Kingdom Over 202 thousand people have died from COVID-19 in the UK, which is the highest number in Europe. The tireless work of the National Health Service (NHS) has been applauded, but the country’s response to the crisis has drawn criticism. The UK was slow to start widespread testing, and the launch of a COVID-19 contact tracing app was delayed by months. However, the UK’s rapid vaccine rollout has been a success story, and around 53.7 million people had received at least one vaccine dose as of July 13, 2022.

New Covid cases per month in Chad, March, 2023 The most recent value is 10 new Covid cases as of March 2023, a decline compared to the previous value of 26 new Covid cases. Historically, the average for Chad from February 2020 to March 2023 is 202 new Covid cases. The minimum of 0 new Covid cases was recorded in February 2020, while the maximum of 1454 new Covid cases was reached in January 2022. | TheGlobalEconomy.com

BackgroundMyiasis due to Old World screw-worm fly, Chrysomya bezziana, is an important obligate zoonotic disease in the OIE-list of diseases and is found throughout much of Africa, the Indian subcontinent, southeast and east Asia. C. bezziana myiasis causes not only morbidity and death to animals and humans, but also economic losses in the livestock industries. Because of the aggressive and destructive nature of this disease in hosts, we initiated this study to provide a comprehensive understanding of human myiasis caused by C. bezziana.MethodsWe searched the databases in English (PubMed, Embase and African Index Medicus) and Chinese (CNKI, Wanfang, and Duxiu), and international government online reports to 6th February, 2019, to identify studies concerning C. bezziana. Another ten human cases in China and Papua New Guinea that our team had recorded were also included.ResultsWe retrieved 1,048 reports from which 202 studies were ultimately eligible for inclusion in the present descriptive analyses. Since the first human case due to C. bezziana was reported in 1909, we have summarized 291 cases and found that these cases often occurred in patients with poor hygiene, low socio-economic conditions, old age, and underlying diseases including infections, age-related diseases, and noninfectious chronic diseases. But C. bezziana myiasis appears largely neglected as a serious medical or veterinary condition, with human and animal cases only reported in 16 and 24 countries respectively, despite this fly species being recorded in 44 countries worldwide.ConclusionOur findings indicate that cryptic myiasis cases due to the obligate parasite, C. bezziana, are under-recognized. Through this study on C. bezziana etiology, clinical features, diagnosis, treatment, epidemiology, prevention and control, we call for more vigilance and awareness of the disease from governments, health authorities, clinicians, veterinary workers, nursing homes, and also the general public.

Housing Supply Coordination Task Force For DublinBackground - Construction 2020In May 2014, the Government published Construction 2020 – A Strategy for a Renewed Construction Sector (link is external). This Strategy sets out Government policy to increase the capacity of the Sector to create and sustain jobs and to grow the sector to a sustainable level consistent with the demands of a modern economy.Housing Supply Coordination Taskforce for DublinAction 2 of Construction 2020 commits to the establishment of a Housing Supply Coordination Taskforce for Dublin. Accordingly, the Task Force was established in June 2014 and comprises of the Department of the Environment, Community and Local Government, the four Dublin local authorities (Dublin City, Fingal, South Dublin and Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown), NAMA and other agencies, with the Chief Executive of South Dublin County Council as chair.The focus of the Task Force is to address supply-related issues to the delivery of housing units in the Dublin region.

In 202, there were 32,154 reported cases of dengue fever and dengue hemorrhagic fever. This was an increase from the number of cases reported in 2021, which was 5,261.

Largest outbreak in Singapore

Dengue is one of Singapore’s most pressing endemic infectious disease. Since Singapore was declared malaria-free by the World Health Organization in 1982, the island-state has been focusing on fighting dengue and other infectious diseases such as HIV and Ttuberculosis. However, unlike malaria Singapore has not been able to eradicate this mosquito-borne disease. The National Environment Agency (NEA) stated that Singapore saw on of the biggest dengue outbreaks in its history in 2020, reaching more that 35 thousand cases.

More dengue cases during Circuit Breaker period According to NEA, the increase in dengue infections were due to several factors: a change in the dominant dengue serotype, meaning fewer people would have immunity against it; the warmer months which allows mosquitoes to breed easily; and the impact of the ”circuit breaker” measures to control the COVID-19 pandemic in Singapore. During the two months of the “circuit breaker” period ending June 1, 2020, there were five times more cases of Aedes mosquito larvae detected in housing areas compared to the two months preceding it. As of May 1, 2020, 54 percent of Singaporean respondents stated that they had been avoiding going to work during the COVID-19 outbreak, up from 11 percent on Feb 21, 2020. With more people staying at home, and as the Aedes mosquitoes are active during the daytime, this period could have led to a higher number of dengue cases. To reduce the case numbers, since March 2020, the Inter-Agency Dengue Task Force (IADTF), including Town Councils, started to remove potential mosquito breeding grounds in public spaces and residences.

The number of acid attack cases investigated by the police across India amounted to 296 in 2022. This figure includes 94 cases pending investigation from the previous year as well as 202 cases of acid attack reported in 2022. Women were the majority of victims from these attacks during this time.

The leading causes of death in the United States have changed significantly from the year 1900 to the present. Leading causes of death in 1900, such as tuberculosis, gastrointestinal infections, and diphtheria have seen huge decreases in death rates and are no longer among the leading causes of death in the United States. However, other diseases such as heart disease and cancer have seen increased death rates. Vaccinations One major factor contributing to the decrease in death rates for many diseases since the year 1900 is the introduction of vaccinations. The decrease seen in the rates of death due to pneumonia and influenza is a prime example of this. In 1900, pneumonia and influenza were the leading causes of death, with around 202 deaths per 100,000 population. However, in 2023 pneumonia and influenza were not even among the ten leading causes of death. Cancer One disease that has seen a large increase in death rates since 1900 is cancer. Cancer currently accounts for almost 20 percent of all deaths in the United States, with death rates among men higher than those for women. The deadliest form of cancer for both men and women is cancer of the lung and bronchus. Some of the most common avoidable risk factors for cancer include smoking, drinking alcohol, sun exposure, and obesity.
