Brown said, and other G20 nations could follow suit. 30, Western leaders should make a plan to transfer vaccines, Mr. Up to 100 million doses could pass their use-by dates and end up being destroyed, he said.Īhead of the Group of 20 summit that starts in Rome on Oct. A shortfall of 500 million doses in the global South could be alleviated by flying vaccine stockpiles to countries in need and by switching delivery contracts. He added that the number of unused doses was projected to reach 600 million by the end of December. Brown said 240 million vaccine doses were lying unused in the West, citing figures from Airfinity, a data research agency. Gordon Brown, the former British prime minister who is now the W.H.O.’s ambassador for global health financing, said the goal of vaccinating 40 percent of adults around the world by December, which was put forward last month at the Global Covid-19 Summit led by President Biden, had “no chance” of being met without action from wealthy countries. Tedros said, “the barrier is not production. High- and upper-middle-income countries have administered almost half as many booster shots as the total number of doses administered in low-income countries, he said. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, said it had been more than 10 months since the first vaccines were approved and that the lack of vaccinations for millions of health workers was “an indictment on the countries and companies that control the global supply of vaccines.” leaders also highlighted inequality in the global distribution of vaccines and called on wealthy nations to lead the charge in addressing the issue. Seventy percent of all health care workers are women.” “And yet,” she noted, “90 percent of nurses are women. Kennedy noted a major problem that women face when working in health care settings: personal protective equipment designed for men. By contrast, 80 percent of health care workers in 22 mostly high-income countries had been vaccinated. data from 119 countries, but that included less than one in 10 of health care workers in Africa and the western Pacific region. On average, two in five health care workers had been fully vaccinated by September, according to W.H.O. called on governments to strengthen their collection of data on coronavirus infections and deaths among health care workers and to accelerate the vaccination of those workers.
“There is another crisis coming down the tracks,” she said, “and that is a shortage of health care workers.” briefing on Thursday, Annette Kennedy, the president of the International Council of Nurses, said that the world had entered the pandemic with a shortage of nurses and that the problem was only being worsened by the stresses of the pandemic. The agency estimates that 115,500 health care workers around the world died of Covid-19 between January 2020 and May 2021, the middle scenario of its broader estimate of 80,000 to 180,000 deaths during that period. The World Health Organization on Thursday urged countries to do more to protect health care workers, saying that they are increasingly plagued by anxiety, burnout, illness and death on the front lines of the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.

There's more in another section regarding a similar guitar but I will have to find that and put it in another post. The purple prototype allows musicians like Dweezil to transpose their electric technique onto an acoustic guitar without having to make adjustments in playing style, and the sound that they get on my guitar is unique." I thought I'd try using a very light bracing pattern across the top of an acoustic guitar so the instrument would have a regular acoustic presence even though it's strung with electric guitar strings. Musicians occasionally try to compensate by putting electric strings on an acoustic guitar, but the sound ends up being so soft that it's sometimes hard to hear what's being played. Dweezil has a few of my guitars, and he's really a fast player, but folks like him don't usually use acoustic guitars because the strings are so heavy that it's practically impossible to play in the kind of quick, pyrotechnical style that they like so much. The Purple Prototype was the product of an idea I had after thinking about the playing style of Dweezil Zappa. Sounds awesome.įrom Ferrington Guitars, edited by Kate Giel, Harper Collins and Callaway Editions, 1992:
