The French Brewers Association has announced that it will be forced to destroy 10 million liters of beer due to the closure of cafes, restaurants and pubs caused by the coronavirus COVID-19 pandemic, BFM reports.


The liquidation will be made, since the shelf life of the drink is running out and there is no point in storing beer further. Moreover, the destruction of products will cost significant amounts for the companies.


"The abrupt closure of cafes, restaurants, stopping tourist activities and the cancellation of all festivals and events have led to the fact that more than 10 million liters of beer are not in demand," the association announced.



It is noted that about 70% of breweries in France reported a reduction of at least half the turnover since mid-March.


The tough form of isolation regime in France is expected to end on May 11. Citizens will be able to move around without special permission from the authorities, which is currently necessary due to the isolation regime introduced in connection with the COVID-19 pandemic, except for movements over distances of more than 100 km from the house, which will be possible only for family or professional reasons.


At the same time, citizens over 65 years of age are still being urged to respect the isolation regime due to higher risk of infection in this age group.


After May 11, a gradual resumption of companies will begin, although working from home will continue, where possible, for at least the next three weeks.



The trading network, except for restaurants and cafes, will open on May 11. For restaurants and cafes, a separate decision will be made at the end of May with the prospect of a possible opening after June 2.


At the same time, a recent pole by FranceInfo reported that –25% of breweries in France have been forced to close and 70% have declared a loss of up to 50% in revenue since March 15.

to-fight-coronavirus-panama-si-separating-men-from-women-transgenders-are-concerned

In Panama, against the backdrop of the pandemic of the new SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, men and women were barred from leaving their homes on the same day. This new measure to further limit social contacts in the country entered into force on Wednesday, April 1.

 

He said that this decision was caused by the fact that people systematically violated the regime of self-isolation - over the past week, 2,000 people were detained in the country for non-compliance with the regime.

 

The President of Panama, Laurentino Cortiso, introduced these standards on March 25 for an indefinite period. In accordance with them, the local citizens of the country are allotted two hours daily from 6.30 to 19.30 for the purchase of vital goods. At what particular hours citizens can go to the store depends on the last digit in their passport number.

 

Transgenders in Panama are Concerned

 

The rules introduced on March 25 remain in force, but in addition, women and men are no longer allowed to leave home on the same day. Women can only go shopping on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and men on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. On Sunday, leaving the house is prohibited. Panamanian advocates for transgender rights fear that people with a different gender than the one indicated in the passport may face problems as a result.

 

In Panama, according to the latest data, 1181 cases of infection with coronavirus were recorded, including 30 deaths. Panama is one of the Latin American countries most affected by the coronavirus epidemic.

 

Despite the fact that the Latin American coronavirus pandemic was the last to be affected, authorities in the countries of the South American continent are preparing for the worst.

 

“We need to be prepared for the worst case scenario,” BBC quotes Dr. Harbos Barbosa, head of the Pan American Health Organization. - We can’t count on any advantages like climate or demographic situation. “We need to monitor what is happening in other countries, take into account weaknesses, take into account what actions work, and resort to them.”

 

The advantage of the demographic situation can be considered a fairly young average age of Latin Americans: in Brazil it is 30 years old, in Colombia - 27.4, and in Italy, for comparison, 44 years. In addition, overall population density in South America is not as high as in Europe. However, in large cities such as Rio da Janeiro and São Paulo, on the contrary, it is very high. In addition, do not forget about the inhabitants of urban slums, where people live for 12 people in one room, which is why the self-isolation regime loses all meaning.

how-people-are-skipping-zoom-meetings-using-looping-videos

As more people are working remotely due to the Coronavirus quarantine, employees are finding creative ways to appear more online than they actually are.


For example, today most companies are using Zoom Meetings for their daily meetings. For those who are not familiar with Zoom, it is an app that allows people to hold video conferences. Here at Bemorepanda we also use Zoom and we love it!


Ok, so far all good. But, for those who does not know, there’s a feature on Zoom that can tell hosts if chat participants have navigated away from the active window for more than 30 seconds. In other words, your computer narcs you out to your boss when you’re paying more attention to funny animal videos than you are to the meeting.This means that during meetings or online classes, if you think you can switch apps while the other person talks, the app will tell on you.



However, it seems that some Zoom users have gotten pretty creative with how they are beating the app’s feature, where some have created looping videos to make it look like they’re paying attention, while others have created a custom background which features their still image.


As far as the host is concerned, they will think you’re still in the meeting, but you in reality, you can do whatever you like, like lying on your bed, playing games, eating or just nothing. Zoom Meetings was founded in 2011 by Eric Yuan, a lead engineer from Cisco Systems and its collaboration business unit WebEx.


The company went public in April, 2019 and at that time, it was valued at $16 billion. In early 2020, usage of Zoom increased sharply as schools and companies adopted the platform for remote work in response to the coronavirus pandemic, rising 67% from the start of the year to mid-March.

meet-the-russian-who-walks-around-the-city-during-the-coronavirus-pandemic-dressed-as-a-plague-doctor

A man in the costume of a plague doctor walks along the Kaliningrad streets, a Russian exclave on the Baltic Sea. It is sandwiched between Poland and Lithuania along the Baltic coast. The people look at the tall, thin figure in black with surprise. “Klops” found out who is hiding under a mask with a beak, and why he does it.


Vasily Lunev - 33, is married and works in his own workshop for sewing leather products. He wears a medieval doctor's costume to demonstrate his skills and surprise people.


“I am interested in history, I participate in reconstruction festivals. The“ plague doctor ”character attracts me for many reasons. Most of all, I like that you can hide your face behind a mask with a beak,” Lunev explained.

Vasily’s costume consists of a leather apron, a shirt with a collar, a spacious hood, a mask and gloves.

“Doctors carried cones, bottles, amulets that rang when walking. They also had a knife and scissors. They didn’t have a medical education, they hired them to clean up the bodies of the dead, take tests, and forgive sins,” the man says enthusiastically.


On the street, people have mixed reactions of my outfit. Sometimes passers-by shy away, sometimes laugh. Vasily complains that Kaliningrad is unfriendly to new things which are not the norm.


"Our people are more conservative than in St. Petersburg or Moscow. There, people notice me and my costume is expressing a healthy interest. However, when I walk on the streets of Kaliningrad, very often people advise, "to go to a psychologist or a priest," Vasily shares.


Lunev emphasizes that his outfit has nothing to do with the coronavirus epidemic. He began to wear and wear it a couple of years ago.


“Yes, this is the first chemical protection suit in history, but it won’t save you from COVID-19. A mask with a beak unreliably isolates. According to current realities, a gas mask is better,” he informs.


Bemorepanda is inviting you to see a collection of pictures taken by Mr Lunev:

what-can-you-do-after-you-are-fully-vaccinated-top-qustioned-people-are-asking-on-google-with-answers

Vaccines work by mimicking infectious agents - viruses, bacteria or other microorganisms that can cause a disease. This "teaches" the immune system to respond quickly and effectively to it. Traditionally, vaccines do this by introducing a minimum dose of an infectious agent that allows our immune system to build a memory about it. In this way, our immune system can recognize it and fight it quickly before we get sick. This is how some variants of COVID-19 vaccines are designed.


Other potential vaccines developed use new approaches: so-called RNA and DNA vaccines. Instead of introducing antigens (a substance that causes the immune system to produce antibodies), RNA and DNA vaccines give our body the genetic code it needs to allow our immune system to produce the antigen itself. For more information on the development of COVID-19 vaccine, please visit WHO and CEPI.


Massive global demand will mean that not everyone will be able to receive the vaccine at the same time. It will take months - or even years - to create enough doses of vaccine for people around the world.


Priority in the distribution of vaccines is represented by health and social workers, such as schools. The following doses of vaccine will be distributed to participating countries for vaccination to groups at high risk of developing complications from the disease, or even death, including the elderly and those with latent medical conditions. The number of doses for each stage will vary by country - we recommend that you follow the latest updates and guidance from your country's Ministry of Health.


Bemorepanda collected top 5 questions about the covid vaccine.


1.What can you do after you are fully vaccinated?

  • You can gather inside with fully vaccinated people without a mask.
  • You may gather indoors with unvaccinated people from another household (for example, visiting relatives who live together) without masks, unless one of these people, or someone living with them, is at increased risk of serious COVID disease. -19.
  • If you've been around someone with COVID-19, you shouldn't stay away from others or get tested unless you have symptoms.
  • However, if you live in a group environment (such as a correctional facility, isolation ward, or group home) and are around someone who has COVID-19, you should stay away from others for a long time, 14 days and test yourself, even if you have no symptoms.
  • However, you must take steps to protect yourself and others in many situations, such as wearing a mask, standing at least 6 meters away from others, and avoiding crowds and poorly ventilated areas. 

Observe these precautions if you:

  • In public 
  • Meetings with unvaccinated people from several other households.
  • Visiting an unvaccinated person who is at increased risk of severe illness or death from COVID-19, or who lives with a high-risk person
  • However, you should avoid medium to large gatherings.
  • You should still postpone domestic and international travel. If you are traveling, you will still need to comply with CDC requirements and guidelines.
  • However, you should pay attention to the symptoms of COVID-19, especially if you have been around the sick person. If you have symptoms of COVID-19, you should check yourself and stay at home and away from others.
  • You will still need to follow instructions at work.




2.When are you fully vaccinated against Covid?

Completely vaccinated are:


  • 2 weeks after their second dose in a series of 2 doses, such as Pfizer or Moderna vaccines or
  • 2 weeks after a single dose of vaccine, such as Johnson and Johnson Janssen vaccines

If less than 2 weeks have passed since the vaccination or if you need a second dose, you are NOT completely protected. Continue to take all preventive measures until you are completely vaccinated.



3.How many people are vaccinated?

This is counted as a single dose, and may not equal the total number of people vaccinated, depending on the specific dose regime (e.g. people receive multiple

doses).



4.Do you have to quarantine if you are fully vaccinated?

Fully vaccinated people with no COVID-like symptoms do not need to quarantine or be tested following an exposure to someone with suspected or confirmed COVID-19, as their risk of infection is low.


5.If you are fully vaccinated, can you transmit Covid?

Vaccinated people could potentially still get COVID-19 and spread it to others. However, the benefits of relaxing some measures such as quarantine requirements and reducing social isolation may outweigh the residual risk of fully vaccinated people becoming ill with COVID-19 or transmitting the virus to others.
