Coronavirus: Convenient Ways to Avoid Potential COVID-19 Exposure

For many of us, the past year has been characterized by the pandemic created by the novel coronavirus. From going to work to protecting our loved ones to shopping for basic necessities, COVID-19 has factored into virtually everything we do. Although the recent vaccine rollout is certainly cause for celebration, it can’t be denied that the aforementioned pandemic is still very much in effect. That being the case, it behooves all of us to make responsible choices and limit potential exposure until a sizable majority of Americans are fully vaccinated.

As you’ll find, limiting potential COVID-19 doesn’t have to be challenging, cumbersome or financially strenuous.

Opt for Virtual Doctor Visits

Going to a medical facility during a pandemic carries a fair number of risks. Although hospitals and doctors’ offices are doing their best to ensure patient safety, their precautions, while effective, are by no means flawless. So, if you’re immunocompromised, unable t…

PORT-AU-PRINCE, Mar 7 2012 (IPS) – The drawdown of hundreds of non-governmental organisations which have been in Haiti since the disastrous 2010 earthquake was inevitable. But with their departure, so too goes their purse and the millions earmarked for cleaning latrines.
What does that mean for the half a million displaced still living in camps?

Some 11,000 mobile toilets were installed by a rainbow of international non-governmental organisations (NGOs) following the earthquake. Supplied largely by the Clinton Foundation, the U.S. Agency for International Development and UNICEF, and then redistributed by the NGO community to hundreds of camps, these latrines improved the living conditions and staved off pend…

Poverty Puzzles

Apr 22 2016 – Whichever way you parse the data we have it shows that poverty headcount in Pakistan over the last decade and a half to two decades has decreased substantially. Initially, it was thought the data was not good enough, that it had been manipulated and so on, but even after multiple rounds of national surveys, the same trends are evident. And though the actual percentage of the poor may vary with the method one uses, the trend of falling poverty remains invariant. There must be something to this trend.

Poverty headcount, by the old line, has reduced to below 10pc in recent surveys. It is common practice, when poverty headcount goes below 10pc odd, to rebase the poverty line so that it gives some meaningful numbers. Social policy, if it has to work with less than 10pc odd of the population, is not as effective and/or useful. When all sorts of analyses confirmed that Pakistan`s poverty headcount had indeed gone below 10pc, the ministries of finance and planning, wit…
