The teacher’s concern about asymptomatic infection
KI professor Joakim Dillner is now raising a warning finger about an asymptomatic infection.
The reason is a Swedish radio poll in early December, which showed that 18 out of 21 regions have a difficult time catching up with infection tracking and may therefore be delayed. In various regions, it can take so long that the infection trace point is missing.
– It worries me. Tracking infections is very important to stop infections, says Joakim Dillner.
If the infection is not detected for three to four days, it can have significant consequences for the spread of the virus.
– Then those who have been infected can already get sick and infect others in turn. So you’re almost desperate afterwards. It will be an unreasonably large group of people and it is not possible to stop the spread of the epidemic, he says.
Biden and Harris are “People of the Year”
Former Vice President Joe Biden, with Kamala Harris as his vice presidential candidate, won this year’s presidential election in the United States with 306 voters against Donald Trump’s 232. Biden received the most votes in a US presidential election and will be sworn in as the 46th president of the United States on January 20 next year.
And now the duo wins the award as “People of the Year”.
“Biden and Haris represent something historic. This year’s persona is not just about what kind of year it was, but also where we’re going, ”Time writes.
Obama on Greta Thunberg
Barack Obama said yes to the Paris Agreement and made the climate fight a “top priority” for the United States. After meeting Greta Thunberg, he understands the Swede’s anger.
For the former president, the climate fight became “personal” after his daughter Malia Obama, 22, contracted asthma from bad air in Washington. Daughters Malia and Sasha, 19, belong to the same generation of climate activists as Greta Thunberg.
– This is exactly why the activism and righteous anger of young people like Greta, with whom I had the privilege of spending time last year, give me hope. Because they require action and it is necessary. Your generation will not only change the world. They will save him, Barack Obama tells Dagens Nyheter.
