New Zealand horse racing Verry Elleegant just defeated the popular star horse racing Incentivise before winning the Melbourne Cup.
This is the first time rider James McDonald and horse trainer Chris Waller have won the Melbourne Cup.
Horse racing Incentivise took second place and Spanish Mission took third place.
“I love her to death. She has always been nice to me. They can really call her the champion now,” McDonald said in an interview with Channel 10 after the game.
This is the tenth time Verry Elleegant has won, including last year’s Caulfield Cup.
“When you are in a superstar, dreams can come true,” he said.
Australia officially recognizes that China’s Sinopharm vaccine, the global number of deaths from new crowns exceeds 5 million
The Australian National Medical Regulatory Agency has again approved two new coronavirus vaccines in China and India, including the Sinopharm vaccine widely vaccinated in many countries around the world.
Although these vaccines have not been approved for use in Australia, they have been approved by the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), which paves the way for international tourists to enter Australia in the coming months.
Prior to this, the TGA suggested that the vaccines approved for use in Australia plus India’s Covishield vaccine and China’s CoronaVac could be used to exempt travel and other restrictions.
Four vaccines are now approved for use in Australia. They are Pfizer, Modena, AstraZeneca and Johnson & Johnson.
Two more vaccines are now approved but cannot be vaccinated in Australia, the Covaxin vaccine produced in India and the Sinopharm vaccine produced in China (Sinopharm).
This decision by TGA will help international students who have received different vaccines return to Australia.
TGA has previously stated that it has not obtained enough evidence to recommend Russia’s satellite V vaccine (Sputnik V) or China’s CanSino vaccine (CanSino).
The global death toll from the new crown exceeds 5 million, experts believe that the real data is greatly underestimated
The new crown epidemic has been raging for nearly two years, and the global death toll by Johns Hopkins University has reached 5 million. This number is almost equivalent to the total population of New Zealand.
According to reports, an average of more than 7,000 people die from the new crown epidemic every day. Since April 2020, the number of deaths in a single day has fallen to less than 4,000 people less than 20 times.
However, experts generally believe that the official figures reported by governments fail to reflect the true situation of the new crown epidemic, and the death toll has been greatly underestimated.
Professor Alan Lopez of the University of Melbourne is an international authoritative expert on disease burden and health statistics. He believes that the 5 million death toll is very inaccurate.
He said the actual number may be between 12 million and 15 million, which is close to half of Australia’s total population.
This is because deaths will only be included in the statistics when the official confirmation of the new crown is one of the causes of death.
However, many people died without knowing that they were infected with the virus. If the death of a case is outside the medical system, it will not be included in the statistics.
The United States currently records more than 20,000 deaths every week, but some experts believe that this is half of the actual number.
Analysis by The Economist estimates that the true number of deaths worldwide is two to four times the reported number.
According to this estimate, the actual death toll is between 10.2 million and 19.2 million.
There are many uncertainties in the estimated data. Many countries do not report death statistics in a timely manner, or even in some cases do not report data at all.
It is difficult to test for the new crown in many parts of the world, which has resulted in many confirmed and dead cases being undetected.
Queensland’s new crown vaccine fails, many people are seriously inadequate
It was discovered in Queensland that 6 people may have been vaccinated with ultra-low doses of Pfizer vaccine at the temporary new crown vaccine clinic.
For this reason, the health department is trying to track 175 people who have been to the clinic for vaccinations last month.
The Queensland Department of Health stated that they have contacted 175 people who were vaccinated with Pfizer at the Flagstone Community College temporary vaccination clinic on October 23.
They stated that 6 of the 175 people “may have been vaccinated with ultra-low doses due to a vaccine preparation error”.
Each bottle of Pfizer vaccine can be administered six doses, and normal saline must be added to the vial to dilute the vaccine solution before administration.
The Queensland Ministry of Health stated that a medicine bottle was suspected to have been used twice, which meant that the dose in the second round of medicine bottle was “over-diluted”.
The government is conducting a review to find out why the error occurred and how to improve the process.
The Queensland Ministry of Health said it was unable to determine which 6 of the 175 people were given the ultra-low dose vaccine, so they are contacting everyone to “discuss re-vaccination.”
Health officials said that ultra-low doses are harmless, but may affect the recipient’s immunity to the new coronavirus.
In addition, thousands of medical staff in Queensland who have not received the new crown vaccine have been suspended, but the state government has expressed that it is not worried about widespread chaos in the state’s hospital system.
Queensland will issue a notice today to more than 4,000 health workers who have not been vaccinated, requiring them to report their reasons for not being vaccinated.
In terms of the epidemic,New stateThere were 173 new cases and 4 deaths.Capital Territory8 new cases were added.
VictoriaThere were 989 new local cases recorded today and another nine deaths. This is the first time the number of new cases in Victoria has fallen below 1,000 since September 28.
COP26 Climate Summit Held One Minute Before The British Prime Minister Said It Is The “Doomsday”
The United Nations Climate Change Summit (COP26) officially kicked off in Glasgow yesterday. At the opening ceremony, British Prime Minister Boris Johnson compared the efforts to prevent climate change to the doomsday crisis in the 007 movie. , And warned that it is now the last minute before the end, and people need to act immediately.
As the host country of this climate summit, the United Kingdom is working hard to achieve the goal of zero carbon emissions globally by 2050.
Among them, the four most spoken words by Johnson are “coal, car, money and tree”.
Johnson said that we can eliminate gasoline-burning cars and plant hundreds of millions of trees by 2035. This is technically not difficult. In 2030, we will be able to reverse the trend of deforestation.
In addition, Johnson also mentioned a developed country in 2030 and a developing country in 2040 to achieve the goal of phasing out coal-fired thermal power stations.
Britain had always hoped that Australia would reconsider its position on the coal issue, but Morrison did not mention this issue in his speech at the conference. Morrison said that the conversion to new energy must be cost-effective.
“If cleaner technology solutions want to surpass existing technologies, they must win all regions, especially countries in the Indo-Pacific region,” Morrison said.
Morrison said at the meeting that Australia will exceed its 2030 emission reduction target of 26% to 28%, and achieve a reduction of 35%.
The Prime Minister of India stated at the meeting that it would take 2070 to achieve carbon neutrality, 20 years later than the United Nations global goal.
Eight people were injured in a shooting in western Sydney yesterday
