April 20, 2021- (CNN) 'Disinfecting surfaces to prevent Covid often all for show, CDC advises- "The risk of surface transmission of Covid-19 is low, the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said Monday. Far more important is airborne transmission -- and people who obsessively disinfect surfaces may be doing more harm than good..
"CDC determined that the risk of surface transmission is low, and secondary to the primary routes of virus transmission through direct contact droplets and aerosols," Vincent Hill, Chief of the Waterborne Disease Prevention Branch, said on a CDC-sponsored telephone briefing.
Hill said the risk of transmission from touching a surface, while small, is elevated indoors. Outdoors, the sun and other factors can destroy viruses, Hill said.
The virus dies "rapidly" on porous surfaces but can persist longer on hard, indoor surfaces...." -

23SEP26 #Ecuador 🇪🇨 "An analysis published by CNN en Español examines several Latin American presidents who maintain political ties with Donald Trump and who, after winning elections with radical rhetoric, face social, economic, or governance challenges.
Among the cases examined are Ecuadorian President Daniel Noboa , along with Javier Milei in Argentina; José Antonio Kast in Chile; Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia; and Nayib Bukele in El Salvador. CNN also analyzes recently inaugurated presidents in Honduras, Peru, and Colombia.
The publication argues that these leaders capitalized on public discontent with traditional governments and parties by proposing economic adjustments, security measures, and confrontation with their adversaries. However, it posits that this electoral strategy faces limitations when it must translate into effective governance.
Ecuador: security under question
In the Ecuadorian case, CNN focuses part of its analysis on the security strategy promoted by Noboa.
The president declared the internal armed conflict in ...
16SEP26💯%Choneros🚀"On Sept. 16, under the direction of #SOUTHCOM, Joint Task Force Western Hemisphere (JTF-WHEM)
forces successfully interdicted a floating refueling station supporting illicit at-sea drug trafficking operations in the Eastern Pacific.
Intelligence confirmed the vessel's involvement with the Los Choneros violent narco-terrorist organization.
Individuals removed from the vessel have been transferred to Ecuadorian authorities. After clearing the vessel and disembarking the crew, U.S. forces sank it.
JTF-WHEM continues to conduct precise and professional operations to dismantle the logistical networks fueling narco-trafficking in the Western Hemisphere.
"Alongside our Ecuadorian partners, we are relentlessly pursuing narco-terrorists who prey on our citizens,
undermine hemispheric security, and leave death and suffering in their wake. This deliberate, lawful, and precise operation saves lives and makes our citizens—from Ecuador to the United States—safer." -

"It is an absurdity, it is laughable, to speak of such a
pending disaster as "The End of the World."
We are discussing the end of Humanity, or we are discussing the
end of Civilization, or we are perhaps even discussing
the end of some this or that Empire that we mistakenly
believe to identify with.
The end of the world will come when the sun
expands and engulfs it.
Now, is it truly a surprise that our discourse relates
economic tragedy with an ecological one?
That we actually behave as though a marked downturn in
the Market can somehow be compared to the death of Nature?
We are so enamored with our vastness and resource that we have forgotten the lark and the sparrow.
So I say, come armageddon. Come, you horsemen.
Let us speak these things no more."
