News title: A new Covid-19 variant could show immune evasion and enhanced transmissibility, South African scientists warn Summary: South Africa's health minister announced the discovery of a new coronavirus variant that appears to be spreading rapidly in parts of the country. He advised the public to try to avoid super spreading events. Officials also expressed concern that the mutation could result in immune evasion and enhanced transmissibility of the virus, but added it is too early to tell what kind of impact the mutations will have on vaccine efficacy. More studies also need to be conducted to understand the clinical severity of the variant compared to previous variants. News title: WHO calls special meeting to discuss new Covid variant found in South Africa with ‘a large number of mutations’ Summary: The World Health Organization is monitoring a new variant with numerous mutations to the spike protein, scheduling a special meeting Friday to discuss what it may mean for vaccines and treatment. The variant, called B.1.1.529, has been detected in South Africa in small numbers, according to the WHO. The B.1.1.529 variant contains multiple mutations associated with increased antibody resistance, which may reduce the effectiveness of vaccines, along with mutations that generally make it more contagious. Other mutations in the new variant have not been seen until now, so scientists do not yet know whether they are significant or will change how the virus behaves.

News title: Why Even Some Vaccinated Parents Aren’t Planning to Rush to Give Kids Covid Shot Summary: It is not that they are skeptical of vaccines as a rule, but they have fears, questions and hesitation about giving the Covid vaccination to their children immediately. They have concerns about the potential for side effects, including the rare heart condition myocarditis. They also question whether the vaccine should be given to children when the risk of serious complications from Covid in kids remains low. News title: Cheap Antidepressant Shows Promise Treating Early Covid Summary: a cheap antidepressant reduced the need for hospitalization among high-risk adults with Covid-19 in a study hunting for existing drugs that could be repurposed to treat coronavirus. Researchers tested the pill used for depression and obsessive-compulsive disorder because it was known to reduce inflammation and looked promising in smaller studies. The pill, called fluvoxamine, would cost $4 for a course of Covid treatment. By comparison, antibody IV treatments cost about $2,000 and Merck’s experimental antiviral pill for Covid is about $700 per course. Some experts predict various treatments will eventually be used in combination to fight the coronavirus.

News title: Jakarta Smart City: The use of technology to better serve residents In recent years, Indonesia has used information and communication technology by introducing a number of applications. This technology is revolutionizing the way society functions as it is capable of bringing about the establishment of a smart city, a place where the intelligent use of technology is applied to manage resources efficiently and effectively in order to achieve quality and sustainable living. In May last year the Jakarta Administration launched a crowdsourcing app called “beride” that is expected to be used by people to share their ideas on how to develop the city. In addition, the city has also installed 7300 CCTV cameras throughout the capital to monitor for example traffic, crime, flood, and waste problems.

Why Aren’t Indonesia and The Philippines Getting the Vaccines They Need? COVID-19 vaccine distribution has been vastly unequal around the globe. This happened because early on, wealthier countries like the US, UK, and Singapore invested billions in pharmaceutical companies working on the vaccine. Therefore, they got priority access to the vaccines. Large unvaccinated populations can be breeding grounds for dangerous mutations of the virus, experts warn. So, the response is the COVID-19 Vaccines Global Access (COVAX) initiative set up to help countries get more equitable access. Indonesia and the Philippines each signed up to COVAX for 20% of their populations. Highlight vocabulary: Equitable The meaning of the vocabulary: Treating everyone fairly and in the same way. Fair, just, and impartial. Example: 1. The government is responsible in providing an equitable education for the whole nation. 2. A policy must be fair and equitable for everyone not just a few people. 3. The COVAX guaranteed that they will do equitable vaccine distributions all around the world.
