HIRED Social media influencers are used in politics, business, and even in entertainment industry. These people are used to bring UP or DOWN the sentiment on particular person or company on the social media

How effective their influence on owners of HLT shares is undetermined but since their fee is low, it is value for money tools.

Although we are not big stock traders. Some party wouldn't mind to pay a group of people to influence sentiments because actually these people fee aren't reallyexpensive. For just a small fee, these influencer willing to do it....

THINK. Why would anyone spend so much time to spread fears? It is their assignment. Their job.

Those people will be here whole day to do their assignment. I'm retired, have time to deal with them.

Spain reports more than 23,000 new COVID-19 cases since Friday

MADRID (Reuters) - Spain has registered more than 23,000 new COVID-19 cases since Friday, health emergency chief Fernando Simon told a news conference on Monday, suggesting the infection rate had declined slightly from an Aug. 21 peak.

Health ministry data showed 2,489 new cases were diagnosed in the past 24 hours, bringing the total since the onset of the pandemic to 462,858.

“Of course we are worried because we have to stabilize and bring down the infection chain,” Health Minister Salvador Illa told Catalonia’s regional TV channel 324 late on Monday, adding that the goal is to avoid pressuring hospitals.

Illa said that the situation is not comparable to the pandemic’s first peak in March and April, noting hospitals now have greater capacity. He said that nothing can be ruled out but it would be unlikely Spain would need to close schools again or impose a new state of emergency to try to tackle the virus.

Since bringing the first wave largely under control through a strict lockdown that ended in June, Spain has been hit by a sharp resurgence of infections as measures were relaxed and mass testing began.

On Aug. 21, daily infections hit nearly 10,000, their highest level since the peak of the epidemic in late March. They have come down to about 9,000 to 8,000 per day last week, updated health ministry data showed.

With the new academic year approaching and Spain registering the highest number of cases in western Europe, officials sought to assuage fears that schools could turn into vectors for mass contagion.

“If the appropriate safety measures are applied, the probability of transmission is negligible,” Simon said.

Five people died in the past day, bringing Spain’s total death toll to 29,094, ministry data showed.

Daily deaths, which tend to lag spikes in new cases by several weeks, have increased lately to levels last seen in June, but remain well below the late March peak of nearly 900 deaths per day.

India struggles to contain its growing Covid-19 cases
New Delhi (CNN)India is entering a new phase of reopening that will see subway trains running for the first time in months, despite skyrocketing daily coronavirus infections that are showing no sign of slowing down.

The country of 1.3 billion people has reported more than 75,000 infections for five consecutive days -- the fastest growing caseload of any country in the world.
It recorded 85,687 new Covid-19 infections last Wednesday, the world's highest single-day spike since the pandemic began, surpassing the previous record of 77,255 cases set by the United States on July 16.

Opening up without control of COVID-19 is recipe for disaster, says WHO

GENEVA (Reuters) - Countries with significant active spread of coronavirus must prevent amplifying events, as opening up without the virus being under control would be a “recipe for disaster”, the World Health Organization said on Monday.

WHO director-general Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus recognised that many people are getting tired of restrictions and want to return to normality eight months into the pandemic.

The WHO fully supported efforts to reopen economies and societies, he told a news conference, adding: “We want to see children returning to school and people returning to workplaces, but we want to see it done safely.”

“No country can just pretend the pandemic is over,” he said. “The reality is this virus spreads easily. Opening up without control is a recipe for disaster.”

The United States on Monday surpassed 6 million confirmed coronavirus cases as recorded infections surge at some universities nationwide, according to data compiled by Johns Hopkins University.

At least 183,000 people nationwide have died from COVID-19, the disease caused by the coronavirus that was first documented in China in December. As of Monday, the U.S. continued to lead the world in the highest number of reported COVID-19 cases and deaths, with Brazil and India trailing behind it.

Public health officials have warned that the actual number of COVID-19 cases is likely much higher than what has been reported. This is partly because many infected people are asymptomatic and may not seek a diagnostic test.

At least 26,000 coronavirus cases have been reported among students and faculty at more than 1,500 American colleges and universities, according to a survey conducted by The New York Times.

The University of Alabama at Birmingham has reported the most infections, with at least 972 cases. The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and the University of Central Florida have reported the second and third highest numbers of cases, with at least 835 infections and at least 727 infections, respectively.

Cases among children in the U.S. have increased as schools in some parts of the country reopen for in-person instruction, according to the Times. The uptick in recorded pediatric cases can be attributed in part to increased testing, but a rise in hospitalizations and deaths among children also suggests the virus is spreading at a higher rate, an American Academy of Pediatrics official told the publication.

As Scores Of U.S. Universities See Coronavirus Outbreaks, Nation Tops 6 Million Cases
There have been at least 183,000 deaths linked to COVID-19 nationwide.

Comfort is in trend reversal & good buying opportunity - Koon Yew Yin
Author: Koon Yew Yin Publish date: Sat, 29 Aug 2020, 10:17 PM

Covid 19 pandemic is affecting everybody and all listed companies except medical gloves stocks and medical products to prevent the virus. The demand for medical glove far exceeds supply. All glove makers can easily increase their selling prices to take advantage of the big demand.

As shown on the charts, Supermax has shot up from Rm 1.80 to close at Rm 22.14 in the last few months, an increase of 12.3 times; while Comfort has shot up from 80 sen to close at Rm 4.31, an increase of 5.4 times.

As shown on the chart below Comfort was selling at Rm 6.76 on 3rd Aug and closed today at Rm 4.31, a drop of Rm 2.45 in less than 3 weeks. During the same period, all the other glove stocks have gone up.

Smart investors should be able to see that this is so ridiculous. It is a good buying opportunity to make money. I sold Comfort earlier to buy Supermax and today I sold Supermax to buy Comfort.

As I said many a time before, no stock can drop continuously for whatever reason. After sometime it must change its trend. The best time to buy is at its pivoting point.

Comfort will report its 2rd quarter result ending July before end of September. Like all glove stock, the result should very good.

My intention for writing this piece is to help readers to make more money. Remember whether you buy or not does not make any difference to the share price because the daily volume traded is a tens of million shares.

Some Russian teachers fear back-to-school shots of 'Sputnik V' COVID vaccine
Olesya Astakhova, Polina Nikolskaya
MOSCOW (Reuters) - A small independent Russian teachers’ union is urging members not to be coerced into accepting shots of the “Sputnik V” coronavirus vaccine which is to be mandatory for military personnel.

FILE PHOTO: A scientist dilutes samples during the research and development of a vaccine against the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) at a laboratory of BIOCAD biotechnology company in Saint Petersburg, Russia June 11, 2020. REUTERS/Anton Vaganov/File Photo
Moscow clinics last week began receiving supplies of the vaccine, which has been approved for use inside Russia even though the final Phase III tests, involving 40,000 people, began only last Wednesday.

From September, doctors and teachers will be among the first to be offered the jab on a voluntary basis, officials have said, an arrangement President Vladimir Putin has said he supports.

Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu has said shots of the vaccine will be made mandatory for military personnel.

With Russian schools re-opening on Sept. 1 for the first time since March, the teachers’ union Uchitel has launched an online petition against making the vaccine mandatory for teachers before all clinical trials are complete.

“It’s likely that school principals will be under pressure for everyone to be vaccinated,”

Uchitel represents only about 700 of Russia’s 1.2 million school teachers, a senior union official said, but it says nearly 1,400 people have signed its petition.

The Health Ministry said vaccination would be voluntary and redirected other questions to the Education Ministry, which did not reply to a request for a comment.

The Moscow mayor’s office said any trials would be on a voluntary basis and that “there is no pressure on schools and therefore, no punishment measures towards teachers.” Uchitel is the only teachers’ union known to have issued such a petition.

But Uchitel’s co-chair, Marina Baluyeva, an English-language teacher from St Petersburg, drew parallels with occasional weekends when staff are asked to help do clean-up work, saying this work was voluntary in theory but that teachers who decline to do the work can get into trouble.

WARNINGS BY WESTERN EXPERTS
Russia is the first country to license a COVID-19 vaccine, calling it “Sputnik V” in homage to the world’s first satellite, launched by the Soviet Union. Western experts have warned against its use until all internationally approved testing and regulatory steps have been taken. Moscow has dismissed such criticism as an information war.

One Moscow school has already offered voluntary shots to its nearly 80 teachers, several staff at the school said. One of the teachers, Larisa Ivanovna, said 20 had signed up for the jab but that her decision was driven by fear of losing their job.

“I am afraid of taking the risk of an untested vaccine,” said Dmitry Kazakov, a history teacher who signed the Uchitel petition and is wary even though his bosses have not asked him to have the jab. “Sometimes you get an offer you cannot reject.”

Covid 19 cannot be eradicated completely - Koon Yew Yin - Koon Yew Yin's Blog | I3investor

Author: Koon Yew Yin Publish date: Mon, 31 Aug 2020, 10:25 AM

I have excerpted Dr Sheldon Campbell’s useful article for investors. Based on this article, the demand for medical gloves will continue to exceed supply. The selling prices for gloves will continue to go up higher and higher which should be reflected on glove stocks prices.

As COVID-19 cases continue to pile up across the country, many of us are wondering when—and if—the highly infectious and potentially deadly virus is ever going to go away. According to a top Yale pathologist, the answer is no. It is going to be with us "indefinitely."

"It's going to tail off, not end abruptly," Sheldon Campbell, MD, Ph.D., a laboratory medicine specialist at Yale Medicine and professor of laboratory medicine at Yale School of Medicine, tells Eat This, Not That! Health. "I think COVID-19 will be with us indefinitely." Read on to find out what they are, and to get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these Sure Signs You've Already Had Coronavirus.

'We're Unlikely to Eradicate It"

Dr. Campbell explains that despite the fact that the measles vaccine was developed in 1963 (enhanced in 1968 and MMR in '71), is "absolutely superb," fifty years later it is still not eradicated. "COVID is quite infectious, there are many asymptomatic cases to maintain it in a population, so we're unlikely to eradicate it like we did SARS," he adds.

And while top researchers like Francis Collins and Anthony Fauci are optimistic that a vaccine will be ready in 2021, he points out that there are still a lot of questions. "Will a vaccine block transmission or merely attenuate or limit symptoms? How many doses, how far apart? How effective will it be at preventing illness/death/transmission (each of those is a different number; the last one particularly hard to get at). And very critically, how many people will take it?" he asks.

As far as the testing realm, his area of interest, there are a lot of ideas sparking curiosity that could significantly improve the efficiency of testing—which could be incredibly beneficial as complementary approaches to controlling the virus. "Emerging technologies might produce a self-administered test that would detect high viral loads (the most infectious state) for around a dollar. They'd not detect every positive; but maybe most highly-infectious people," he reveals.

The Doctor's "Perhaps-Optimistic" Scenario

His best-case "perhaps-optimistic" scenario in achieving "new normal" status goes like this:

"The country figures out that, hey, masks aren't that awful—seems to be happening now to a degree. This current surge levels off and slowly declines because of social distancing, but bursts of infection continue in various places; possibly more so come winter. The vaccine trials go well. A trickle of cheap, rapid tests is also becoming available and are used in populations without vaccine coverage. We find and isolate patients sooner. Levels of disease decline to those seen in Europe now, say. New outbreaks are quickly contained, and the country gradually moves to a 'new normal' about a year from now."

How to Avoid COVID-19

Do what the scientists say: Wear your face mask, get tested if you think you have coronavirus, avoid crowds (and bars, and house parties), practice social distancing, only run essential errands, wash your hands regularly, disinfect frequently touched surfaces, and to get through this pandemic at your healthiest, don't miss these 37 Places You're Most Likely to Catch Coronavirus.

Dr Fauci Warns Covid19 could get "Multiple Times" Worse

"It's something that is so difficult to predict because it—really much of it— depends on what we ourselves are doing in the sense of the public health measures necessary to contain the outbreak. Now, one of the problems is that as we've seen the most effective way to do that is to essentially shut down the problem with shutting down and staying shut down for a prolonged period of time, is that that adds to extraordinary economic instability….Now, if we, as a global community, pull together and try to reopen for those that have essentially shut down in a prudent and careful manner that doesn't allow resurgences and rebounds of cases, then we could actually do fairly well, or at least much better than the projections are now."

Op-Ed: Why a PPE shortage still plagues America and what we need to do about it
PUBLISHED SAT, AUG 22 202010:00 AM EDT
Dan Cohen, CEO of 3DBio Therapeutics


KEY POINTS
Six months into the Covid-19 crisis, there is still a dire shortage of personal protective equipment for our health-care workers, says Dan Cohen, CEO of 3DBio Therapeutics.

America needs a dynamic ecosystem of U.S.-based medical production called a Manufacturing Reserve Corps. that can kick into gear during any health-care emergency.

Six months into the Covid-19 crisis, there is still a dire shortage of personal protective equipment (PPE) for our health-care workers, particularly those on the front lines of the coronavirus pandemic. Doctors and nurses are still reusing single use N-95s and experiencing shortages of face shields and gloves. How did this happen in a country ranked No. 1 in pandemic preparedness by the WHO, one which comprises 40% of total global pharma spending, and represents 24% of global economic output?

At the start of the crisis, the federal government’s Strategic National Stockpile included 12 million N95 masks and 30 million surgical masks, about 1% of the 3.5 billion required in the U.S. in the first year of the pandemic.

The reason for the shortage was clear then: a reliance on outsourcing PPE manufacturing to China. The White House had to order 500 million respirators from China, and received a delivery timeline of 18 months or more. But despite the efforts of major U.S. companies and innovative entrants shifting to produce PPE (HanesBrands, Tesla), why has this shortage persisted?

Because there are already signs that PPE manufacturers are ramping down production to avoid the risk of holding surplus inventory. With the prospect of another wave of Covid cases in the fall, this could lead to additional shortages.

Hospitals’ PPE costs will top $3.8 billion in second half of 2020

As the co-founder and CEO of 3DBio Therapeutics, which 3-D bioprints medical implants end-to-end in New York City, when Covid-19 began I wanted to help. I witnessed firsthand the PPE shortage doctors, nurses and other health-care workers had to deal with at the height of the crisis that endangered their safety. In response, we pivoted and worked nights and weekends to build a Powered Air-Purifying Respirator (PAPR), under the moniker American PAPR. PAPRs, crucial PPE for medical professionals treating infectious disease, consist of a hooded plastic mask and breathing tube that block 99.97% of small particles. PAPRs were most famously worn by the doctors in the movie “Outbreak.”

What is hampering PPE supplies
We were honored to be one of only a handful of manufacturers (alongside Ford) to receive rapid regulatory approval from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). But the main obstacles we have faced in getting PPE to medical professionals are the three same core issues that have stymied American ingenuity and productivity during this crisis.

First, budget shortfalls have been an issue for hospitals throughout the pandemic, because critical care and inpatient services are their least profitable areas. Hospitals nationwide lost over $161 billion due to canceled procedures from March to June 2020, while uninsured visits rose 114%. This has resulted in limited budgets for PPE.

Second, unpredictability in demand creates further risk to producing PPE. Existing players or new entrants like us need to create capacity by investing to expand production. Yet in the midst of a crisis, demand is hard to predict, given budget challenges and high degrees of local volatility as the curve flattens or regions spike. In a chaotic market, there is substantial risk to your primary business if your investment in production mistimes demand.

Lastly, concerns about fraud tie hospitals to familiar manufacturers. Regulatory authorities, including the FDA and NIOSH, have been heroic in shortening timelines to get safe PPE into the hands of health-care workers. But inundated by a barrage of unreliable PPE imported from China, institutions cannot easily discern quality products from counterfeit. Unpredictable pandemic-led demand surges require nimble and local U.S. manufacturing, but hospitals face liabilities in working with new entrants.

U.S. Poised To Hit 6 Million Cases Of The Coronavirus

I cover breaking news.
More From Forbes

TOPLINE After hitting 5 million confirmed cases of the coronavirus on August 8, the United States is set to cross 6 million Covid-19 infections in the country as the month nears its end and experts warn of complications arising from the impending flu season and likely surge of the virus throughout the fall season.
President Donald J. Trump RNC
WASHINGTON, DC - AUGUST 27:

KEY FACTS
According to Johns Hopkins University, the U.S. leads all other countries in cases with 5,979,104 on Sunday, far outpacing the second-hardest-hit country in Brazil, which has confirmed 3,846,153.

The seven-day moving average of cases was 41,573 on August 29, according to data from the the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

The U.S. also leads in reported deaths with 182,909, and the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation is currently predicting fatalities will reach 317,000 by the end of the year, with the figure rising if restrictions are eased and falling if face mask use becomes universal.


Outbreaks in early-opening schools and colleges portend the likely complications of the fall semester, with states and districts debating how and even if in-person instruction should be done, including in Florida where the state's largest teachers union successfully sued the Department of Education over its order to reopen schools.

Negotiations over a new coronavirus stimulus package stalled throughout August, despite programs like enhanced unemployment expiring weeks ago, with Democrats offering a $2.2 trillion compromise—down from the $3 trillion proposal passed in the House in May—and Republicans refusing anything beyond $1.3 trillion, with some in the GOP further preparing a "skinny" version that would end up around $500 billion.


Throughout the Republican National Convention, members of the GOP attempted to codify the pandemic in the past tense, and President Trump capped off his renomination by speaking to a crowd of hundreds at the White House, with seats placed close together and most attendees not wearing face masks.

The Trump administration has been accused of attempting to politicize health departments and data, including the CDC which issued new guidance that asymptomatic people exposed to the virus shouldn't be tested, which the agency's director, Robert Redfield, seemed to revise in subsequent statements to news organizations.

KEY BACKGROUND
The first confirmed cases of the coronavirus in the U.S. occurred on January 21. Despite warnings and evidence of the virus' effect on countries like Italy, the Trump administration opted not to take substantive preemptive actions to prepare for the impending pandemic, choosing instead to downplay the virus. "When you have 15 people, and the 15 within a couple of days is going to be down to close to zero, that's a pretty good job we've done," Trump said on February 26 when there were 58 confirmed cases. Trump declared a national emergency on March 13, but the president and his administration have been criticized for its inaction in addressing issues like personal protective equipment shortages and fragmented testing protocols, as well as its lack of federal mandates or guidance in general.

BIG NUMBER
25,068,606. That's the worldwide figure for confirmed cases of the coronavirus. The U.S. makes up around 4% of the world's population but nearly 24% of worldwide Covid-19 cases.
