The Government cannot help the fact that the world is now being confronted by the omicron variant, but it has to take responsibility for its failure to do enough to prepare one of the richest, most advanced countries for the oncoming storm.

No wonder so many voters, and, increasingly, back-bench MPs, ministers and Cabinet members, are cynical, angry and exhausted. Two years into this crisis, the authorities appear to have learnt little. The roll-out of third jabs (which appear to be vital in combating the variant) has proceeded far too slowly; bureaucratic errors continue to befuddle every move (with people unnecessarily turned away from vaccination walk-in centres); the Government has ordered far too few antiviral pills; and the process of working on and giving authorisation for new, improved vaccines is scandalously slow.

Just as bad has been the Governments utter inability to increase the NHSs capacity. This is extremely hard to do, granted, but why didnt we spend the past year at least working on a plan for temporary, emergency field hospitals, perhaps staffed with retirees, volunteers and students?

The basic problem is that, while omicron, at present, appears less dangerous than previous variants, it spreads more rapidly, meaning that even if it sends a smaller proportion of the infected to hospital, this could be a very large number in real terms. That, at least, is the hypothesis (still not fully confirmed by data) that senior Government figures are working to. Hence their abject panic at the latest models, and why we are back to the prospect that our lives will be shut down killing businesses, curtailing liberties and wrecking mental health to save an NHS that, we are told, wont be able to withstand a looming tsunami of hospitalisations.

This was more forgivable in early 2020 because Covid was new and the entire planet had been caught short. Britain had no domestic diagnostic industry, for a start, and the emergency procedures signed off by Jeremy Hunt were for the wrong kind of pandemic.

But why has the Government done so little since then to cope with the inevitability of fresh waves? Why is it falling back on restrictions yet again? Why is nobody sure where the gradual tightening of the rules will end? And does this mean that every new variant will overwhelm us, even when we are on to our fourth or fifth jabs? That would be a strange kind of society. The Government must be held to account for betraying its own earlier success. The world-leading vaccine roll-out was made possible by innovation taking procurement out of the hands of the NHS, creating a brilliant public/private vaccine taskforce. Then the Government handed the operation back to the sainted NHS. After an initial period of apparent achievement, it lost momentum.

Why doesnt the booster operation run 24/7? Are there lists of retired medical staff being actively recruited and directed to help?

The worst error of all must be the failure to produce and distribute enough antiviral pills. These can be taken at home, and, as long as Covid is detected quickly and the treatment starts promptly, are hugely effective. This would be the best way to reduce the pressure on the NHS as the pillsscould be delivered to homes or picked up at pharmacies so why isnt it happening? We need answers.

For all the vast sums spent, the massively increased NHS budget, and the endless boosterism, we are left playing a giant game of Russian roulette gambling upon authoritarian measures, the healthcare system not collapsing, and the hope that the variants will eventually fizzle out to something resembling the cold. This is a shocking failure of policy. The Government must get its act together immediately.

Voters and MPs are exhausted and angry - and it's easy to see why - Telegraph.co.uk

KANSAS CITY, Mo. The number of deaths attributed to the opioid epidemic is skyrocketing. The Missouri health department reports opioid deaths in the Kansas City area increased by 56% in 2020.

That jump has an area sheriffs office stepping up to educate and raise awareness about the problem.

The Clay County Sheriffs Office said its seen 12 overdoses this year. Investigators said nine of those have been deadly. The majority are people between the ages of 15 and 25, and theyre taking pills laced with fentanyl.

Theyre readily prevalent on the streets. Once you take one supplier out, someone else is gonna come in and fill the void, Sgt. Gary Blackwell, Clay County Sheriffs office, said during a briefing provided by the University of Kansas Health System.

The sheriffs office expects the drug problem to get even worse because they said they cant find and arrest dealers as quickly as dealers are supplying the drugs. At one point they were worried about heroin, but said opioids, like Percocet, are easier to get and cheaper to make, leading to a larger profit.

The high level dealers are paying $8 a piece for these and the average price on the street is $30. So were talking a $22 profit per tablet. So someones going to step in to fill that void, Blackwell said.

Last week the Clay County Sheriffs Office held an education summit to talk about what its seeing. During the meeting, investigators said you are 2.5 times more likely to die taking a counterfeit pill laced with fentanyl than playing Russian roulette.

Key take-away from our Community Drug Education Summit last night: you're 2.5 times more likely to die taking a counterfeit pill laced with fentanyl than playing Russian roulette: #onepillcankill pic.twitter.com/8etfJCUwNW

Blackwell said he knows one person who was Narcanned five times in the week before officers actually arrested him. That means the guy overdosed five times, and emergency responders gave him Narcan to save his live five times in one week.

Blackwell said thats not the most surprising thing hes uncovered as he works as a drug enforcement officer.

Ive talked to dealers who actually when they sold these Perc-30s, if you bought so many Perc-30s then you would get Narcan with it. Its kinda one-stop shop, Blackwell said.

Once addicted, experts say its extremely difficult to break the habit and get clean.

Its the only substance that Ive ever known of that, if somebody hears that a friend or somebody overdosed then they want to know who their supplier was. Not to scare away from that supplier but to actually seek out that supplier because they know that theyre selling strong Perc-30s, Blackwell said.

The University of Kansas Health said there are treatment options available to help those trying to break their addition to opioids. That includes a newer treatment option called Sublocade.

Sublocade is a monthly injection that slowly releases medication into a persons system to help fight opioid cravings.

A local man named Clint Adams was the first person at KUs Addiction Treatment Center to take Sublocade.

When you first start taking Sublocade, its supposed to help with any cravings you may have. I didnt have a huge problem at all with cravings once I got on it. As time goes by, they get less and less and less. At least thats what the hope is at least and thats what it did for me, Adams said.

Adams credits Sublocade with being sober for a year.

The available promotions offered by these newest online casinos are another factor that we considered. They reward both their new and active players with attractive bonuses such as a deposit match offer, free spins, VIP rewards, and more.

Our top new casinos in the UK are innovative sites that are unique in their respective ways. We also seek contemporary features, such as a dedicated mobile app for iOS and Android.

Developed by regulatory compliance experts from the digital gaming industries, HIGHLYTE BY AMNESIA empowers cannabis brands to grow their social influence while eliminating the risk of thousands in penalties and license revocation

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Completing a successful $980,000 round of financing, AMNESIA Media today announced the launch of its effortlessly compliant software client HIGHLYTE, the first platform to use artificial intelligence to ensure social media safety in the highly regulated legal cannabis industry. Buffeted by rules which can be unclear and changeable from state to state, legal cannabis companies are frequently targeted for infractions by social media sites and regulators who are activated by the plant's national status as an illegal substance. Highlyte by AMNESIA highlights a company's potentially non-compliant text, images, and video before each posting goes live, thus avoiding damaging account deactivations and so-called "shadowban" practices that can be financially disastrous.

Three of the cannabis industry's top 15 companies are currently being blocked by Instagram. Highlyte by AMNESIA insures that won't happen to you.

The stakes are high. Estimated to gross some $31 billion in national sales for 2021, a 41% increase over 2020 sales according to analyst BDSA, cannabis was recently named the fifth most valuable agricultural crop in the United States by a report from industry leader Leafly.com. Even so, marketing avenues in legal states are narrow and social media remains the No. 1 way for brands to distinguish themselves. Losing access can be ruinous.

According to data from Pioneer Intelligence founder Ben Walters, whose Index tracks brand activity for over 600 cannabis companies, Instagram account suspensions and removals have increased over 100% from November 2020-November 2021, from roughly 8% of tracked cannabis brands to around 17%. At press time, Walters says that, of the index of 645 brands in his active pool, nine of the top 200 companies are currently suspended. "As significantly," he adds, "three of the top 15 cannabis companies are down."

"Cannabis companies are unwittingly playing Russian Roulette with every piece of content they post, risking not only their ability to communicate with their followers but their credibility," says AMNESIA Media co-founder and CEO Courtney Wu. "This is not just an in-house issue. We see clients suffer high amounts of risk from working with such third party content creators as influencers or even well-meaning customer testimonials. Every week we see cannabis MSOs in the top 20 tier suffer shadow-bans and deactivations as a result and the numbers are climbing. Everyone in this industry is constantly at risk."

Co-founded in 2020 by regulatory compliance experts Courtney Wu and CPO Raymond Ting, Highlyte by AMNESIA's intelligent software currently includes complete cannabis advertising standards for California, Nevada, and Colorado with specs for all legal states soon to be included. Designed to iterate, this software "learns" the more it is used, and is able to detect small infractions and illegal juxtapositions that a human might naturally overlook. No company using Highlyte by AMNESIA during its beta phase has been flagged for non-compliance.

Headquartered in San Francisco, Highlyte by AMNESIA is led by executives from the online gaming world, where regulatory issues are as complex as those in cannabis. Wu is the former CMO for the PokerStars Global Pro & Celebrity while Ting founded and developed Rivals of Poker, the first published real-money-prize poker esports app in the Apple App Store.

"Compliance doesn't strangle content," Ting says. "In fact, compliance regulations present challenges that actually elevate creativity and help express unique brand identities in an extremely competitive marketplace. Highlyte by AMNESIA exists to help cannabis businesses do exactly that and do it right."

Publishing date:

Nick Green has been skiing at Whistler Blackcomb since it opened 41 years ago, but this year his enthusiasm has been dampened by concern that unvaccinated people could be riding with him on the gondolas.

Its like Russian roulette because you dont know the vaccination status of the nine other people in the gondola with you, said Green.

The 70 year-old cancer survivor is part of a Load Safe Whistler group behind a 12,000 name petition, calling on the provincial health officer to order proof of vaccination to ride in the five gondolas at Whistler Blackcomb.

Packing 10 strangers into an enclosed gondola for a minimum 25 minute ride is the very definition of an enclosed space, so its totally mysterious to me why Dr. Bonnie Henry wont protect us, he said.

Henry, the provincial health officer, told reporters on Tuesday it is not her job to micromanage businesses.

As with many specific businesses, I think that is not my role, she said. My role is to advise different businesses on how to do their business safely and I would encourage people who ski at Whistler to make their views known to Vail, who makes those decisions.

Green said dozens of letters have been sent to the U.S. owner, Vail Resorts, to no avail.

Its a Mexican standoff with the resort, he explained. They simply say they are complying with public health requirements. By doing this, Vail has positioned Whistler as the number 1 choice of the anti-vaxxers.

In a written statement, Vail Resorts said guests must show their vaccine cards in all dining areas and bars, masks are mandated in all indoor spaces and all of its employees are required to be vaccinated.

Our goal is to keep our guests, employees and communities safe and to keep our mountains open for a long, successful ski and ride season, it said.

The resort was forced to close early for the past two years because of COVID-19 outbreaks, despite the requirement then that people could only ride in a gondola by themselves or with those in their bubble.

Vancouver Coastal Health said data from last year showed most of the 2,000 cases of the virus at Whistler between October and May were transmitted between roommates in household settings, or among friends at social gatherings, and the risk is low this year due to a very high rate of vaccination in the Whistler community, a very low background rate of COVID-19 in the region and a robust communicable disease prevention plan by Vail Resorts.

The municipality of Whistler said in a statement that it continues to rely on the advice of the provincial health officer in regards to preventing the spread of COVID-19 in the community.

Green believes local politicians are running scared.

There is an incredible fear that you cannot question anything public health is doing, he insisted. And, Vail is the biggest taxpayer and contributor to all the associations in Whistler. Its the biggest employer and council is scared of offending it.

Nevertheless, Green said his group isnt giving up its fight.

I have produced thousands of stickers saying I have my COVID vaccine and we have retired doctors and senior lawyers who plan to hand them out to people to put on their helmets so when you are in the lineup you can look around and feel safe loading with people.

Skiers' group pushes for vaccination proof to ride gondolas at Whistler Blackcomb - Vancouver Sun

By Charles Onyango-Obbo

With the Tigray Peoples Liberation Front (TPLF) rebels and theOromo Liberation Army (OLA) pressing on with their fight in Ethiopia and threatening the capital Addis Ababa, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed has put his money where his mouth is.

Abiy announced he was jumping into camouflage, taking up a gun, and going to the front to lead his governments pushback.

It is dangerous business. When Chads strongman Idriss Dby, who had some credits to his name as a frontline warrior, joined his troops in April to battle rebels, he returned home in a coffin within a few days.

Presumably, then, as Kenyans say, Abiy should put his affairs in order before heading out to the frontline. Risky though it is, should he prevail, the political pay-off would be massive. Africa and indeed the world loves to glorify its victorious generals and rebel leaders. An Abiy returning from the battlefield with his adversaries vanquished could install himself as the new Ethiopian emperor and get away with it.

The calls for him to be stripped of the 2019 Nobel Peace Prize he won for making peace with bitter foe Eritrea would be even louder, though. Its possible the Nobel committee could take the unprecedented move of withdrawing the prize. If Abiy were not to return from the war, though, the pressure would be off. His supporters and they are many would present him as a martyr. He would have served his penance.

But the controversy over Abiys Nobel is a beautiful one. For one, it starkly and inconveniently takes the prize back to its contradictory roots. The prize was founded by Alfred Nobel, the Swedish chemist, engineer and industrialist who invented dynamite and made his fortune selling it and other explosives. Nobels conscience was troubled by the destructive power of his inventions.

Nobel died in 1896, leaving his considerable fortune as an endowment for yearly awards in peace, chemistry, physics, medicine and literature all representing his lifelong interests.

If there is one person in the world who personifies the history, incongruity, possibilities and problems with the Nobel Peace Prize, then it is Abiy.

The tragic drama unfolding in Ethiopia also highlights an old problem; about when to get on a political ship, and when to abandon it.

The US, France, Germany, Turkey, and other countries have advised their nationals to flee Ethiopia, as they fear a bloody fight for Addis Ababa is nigh.

The United Nations, too, is temporarily relocating families of international staff from Ethiopia due to the security situation. Kenyan giant telco Safaricom, which had a historic deal to operate in the prized Ethiopian market, weeks back announced it was pulling back some staff.

It is the right thing to do. However, if you are going to enjoy the fruits that a country offers when it is stable, and to take the first parachute out when it is in trouble, there is a way you should conduct yourself.

Dont lecture it about how it should run its affairs when the going is good. As good old Dolly Parton sang, If you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain.
