World battles slowdown, China's economy surges ahead

China's economy surges 4.7% in the July to September quarter, as the world struggles to catch up

Amid global slowdowns in a pandemic, China's economy surges
Chinese economy surged 4.9% in July-to-September quarter
Growth brings China back up to the rough pre-pandemic levels
United States expected to report a 3rd-quarter growth surge too
China&rsquo;s lead could widen further in the months to come: experts

Even&nbsp;as most of the world is still struggling with massive economic slowdowns&nbsp;with the coronavirus pandemic, China seems to be&nbsp;proving that a fast economic rebound is possible when the virus is brought firmly under control.
The Chinese economy surged 4.9% in the July-to-September quarter compared with the same months last year. The robust growth brings China almost back up to the roughly 6% pace of growth that it was reporting before the pandemic.
The United States and other nations are expected to report a third-quarter surge too, but they are still behind or just catching up to pre-pandemic levels.
China&rsquo;s lead could widen further in the months to come, say experts. It has almost no local transmission of the virus now, while the United States and Europe face another accelerating wave of cases.

China: Coronavirus found on frozen food pkg for the first time

China's health authority has confirmed the detection and isolation of living novel coronavirus on the outer packaging of imported frozen marine fish in the port city of Qingdao

China's health authority has confirmed the detection and isolation of living novel coronavirus on the outer packaging of imported frozen marine fish in the port city of Qingdao. It has been described as the first detection of its kind on the cold food chain in the world. The Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Saturday said the finding was made during an investigation to trace the source of recent infections reported in Qingdao. In July, China had suspended imports of frozen shrimp after the deadly virus was found on packages and the inner wall of a container.

Beijing, PTI: China's health authority has confirmed the detection and isolation of living novel coronavirus on the outer packaging of imported frozen marine fish in the port city of Qingdao. It has been described as the first detection of its kind on the cold food chain in the world.
The authorities in Qingdao, where a new cluster of Covid-19 cases were reported recently, conducted tests on all of its about 11 million population. No new clusters of cases were found after the tests, the local authorities said.
In July, China suspended imports of frozen shrimp after the deadly virus was found on packages and the inner wall of a container. The Chinese Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Saturday said it detected and isolated the living novel coronavirus on the outer packaging of imported frozen cod(large marine fish) in Qingdao.
The finding was made during an investigation to trace the source of recent infections reported in the city. It has proved that contact with packaging contaminated by living novel coronavirus could lead to infection, state-run Xinhua news agency reported, quoting the CDC statement.
The statement, however, did not mention the country from where the package was imported. It is the first time in the world that living novel coronavirus has been isolated from the outer packaging of cold-chain food, the statement said.
The agency said the risk of cold-chain food circulating in China's market being contaminated by the novel coronavirus is very low, citing recent nucleic acid test results for samples taken from the business.
A total of 2.98 million samples had been tested across the country's 24 provincial-level regions by September 15, including 670,000 taken from cold-chain food or food packaging, 1.24 million from working staff and 1.07 million from the environment.
Only 22 samples from cold-chain food or food packaging tested positive for the virus, the CDC said.
Meanwhile, the National Health Commission on Sunday said 13 confirmed Covid-19 cases, all arriving from outside the mainland, were reported on Saturday.

Why Bangladesh’s economy is growing much faster than others | BOOM

IMF has projected that India's per capita GDP will slip below Bangladesh in 2020. It is largely being attributed to the lockdown and the pandemic which has affected the world. Why is Bangladesh economy growing even when the rest of the world is faltering? BOOM Explains.
Ahsan H Mansur, Executive Director, Policy Research Institute of Bangladesh and Chairman, BRAC Bank says that macroeconomic stability has been a cornerstone of Bangladeshi economic planning and that has helped sustained growth. It has also maintained exchange rate stability relative to Indian currency. Bangladesh also has a controlled fiscal deficit at about 3.5-4.5% despite the fiscal target set at 5%. It helps anchor the inflation rate, exchange rate stability as well as exports.
He also says that the Bangladesh exports had started recovering from May. By July-August, Bangladesh had bounced back to similar export volumes by the same corresponding period in 2019. The government also helped garment industries to pay their workers through the lockdown to ensure that there were no hindrances in keeping the industry afloat.
Watch BOOM's Govindraj Ethiraj interview Ahsan H Mansur on the Bangladesh economy, Indian economy, world trade relations and the reasons why Bangladesh economy is growing better than any other comparable economy.

Vehicles can overturn anytime in Yogi's UP: BJP leader on Hathras rape

Amid outrage and mounting Opposition criticism&nbsp;over the death of a 19-year-old Dalit woman, who was raped allegedly by four upper caste men in Uttar Pradesh&rsquo;s Hathras,&nbsp;BJP&nbsp;general secretary Kailash Vijayvargiya on Wednesday said 'vehicles can overturn anytime in Yogi Adityanath&rsquo;s state'.

Trump won't commit to a peaceful transfer of power

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday again declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the November 3 presidential election

US President Donald Trump on Wednesday again declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the November 3 presidential election. "We are going to have to see what happens," Trump said at a news conference, responding to a question about whether he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power. Trump has been pressing a months long campaign against mail-in voting this November. More states are encouraging mail-in voting to keep voters safe amid the coronavirus pandemic. Trump has baselessly claimed widespread mail voting will lead to massive fraud.

Washington, PTI: US President Donald Trump on Wednesday again declined to commit to a peaceful transfer of power if he loses the November 3 presidential election.
"We are going to have to see what happens," Trump said at a news conference, responding to a question about whether he would commit to a peaceful transfer of power. "You know that I have been complaining very strongly about the ballots and the ballots are a disaster." Trump has been pressing a monthslong campaign against mail-in voting this November by tweeting and speaking out critically about the practice. More states are encouraging mail-in voting to keep voters safe amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The president, who uses mail-in voting himself, has tried to distinguish between states that automatically send mail ballots to all registered voters and those, like Florida, that send them only to voters who request a mail ballot.
Trump has baselessly claimed widespread mail voting will lead to massive fraud. The five states that routinely send mail ballots to all voters have seen no significant fraud.
Trump on Wednesday appeared to suggest that if states got "rid of" the unsolicited mailing of ballots, there would be no concern about fraud or peaceful transfers of power.
"You will have a very peaceful -- there will not be a transfer frankly," Trump said. "There will be a continuation. The ballots are out of control, you know it, and you know, who knows it better than anybody else? The Democrats know it better than anybody else." In a July interview, Trump similarly refused to commit to accepting the results and he made similar comments ahead of the 2016 election.
"I have to see. Look ... I have to see," Trump told Chris Wallace during a wide-ranging July interview on "Fox News Sunday". "No, I am not going to just say yes. I am not going to say no and I did not the last time either." The Biden campaign responded on Wednesday, as it did after Trump's July comments: "The American people will decide this election. And the United States government is perfectly capable of escorting trespassers out of the White House." It is highly unusual that a sitting president would express less than complete confidence in the American democracy's electoral process. But Trump, four years ago, when in the closing stages of his race against Hillary Clinton, also declined to commit to honouring the election results if the Democrat won.
When asked during an October 2016 debate about whether he would abide by the voters' will, Trump responded that he would "keep you in suspense". It is unlikely that any chaos in states with universal mail-in voting will cause the election result to be inaccurately tabulated, as Trump has suggested.

Mumbai runs out of beds in ICUs, patients suffer | DataBaaz

There is a severe shortage of ICU beds in Mumbai for coronavirus patients as there is influx of patients coming from outside Mumbai to seek treatment for Covid-19. In fact 30% - 40% patients occupying ICU beds in the city are from outside Mumbai where the disease is raging, says Dr. Gautam Bhansali to Govindraj Ethiraj. The city's health infrastructure which seemed to be coping well with the Covid-19 crisis in July and August is once again, faltering. The crisis is also exacerbated by the closure of nursing homes which has led to a crunch in ICU beds for covid patients.

Apple announced everything but the iPhone 12

Trump downplayed Covid threat, misled people: new book

US President Donald Trump has acknowledged downplaying the dangers of the deadly novel coronavirus as he did not want to create panic, says a new book

US President Donald Trump has acknowledged downplaying the dangers of the deadly novel coronavirus as he did not want to create panic, according to a new book by a renowned US investigative journalist. Excerpts of the book, 'Rage', by Bob Woodward and and clippings of his interviews with Trump were released on Wednesday. "I wanted to always play it down because I don't want to create panic," Trump told Woodward in March, a recording of which was released by the veteran journalist to 'The Washington Post'. In another interview on February 7, Trump told the journalist that the coronavirus was deadlier than the flu and could be transmitted through the air.

Washington, PTI: US President Donald Trump has acknowledged downplaying the dangers of the deadly novel coronavirus as he did not want to create panic, according to a new book by a renowned US investigative journalist.
The book, 'Rage', by Bob Woodward is being described by the publisher as an "unprecedented" and "intimate tour de force" of new reporting on the Trump presidency that is facing a pandemic, economic disaster and racial unrest. It is scheduled to hit the stores on September 15, less than two months before the November 3 presidential elections.
Excerpts of the book and clippings of the interviews with Trump were released by Woodward to some media outlets on Wednesday.
"I wanted to, I wanted to always play it down," Trump told Woodward in March, a recording of which was released by the veteran journalist to 'The Washington Post'. "I still like playing it down, because I don't want to create a panic." In another interview on February 7, the audio clip of which was posted by 'The Washington Post', Trump told the journalist that the coronavirus was deadlier than the flu and could be transmitted through the air.
"That's always tougher than the touch. You don't have to touch things. Right? But the air, you just breath the air and that's how it's passed," he said. "It's also more deadly than even your strenuous flus." As per the book, Trump insists to Woodward he would triumph over the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic calamity.
"Don't worry about it, Bob. OK?" Trump told the author in July. "Don't worry about it. We'll get to do another book. You'll find I was right." The president on Wednesday defended his decision to downplay the dangers posed by the pathogen, refuting allegations that he lied to the people of the country.
"The fact is, I'm a cheerleader for this country, I love our country and I don't want people to be frightened," he said. "I don't want to create panic, as you say. And certainly, I'm not going to drive this country or the world into a frenzy." Trump underlined that the administration wanted to show confidence and strength as a nation amid the pandemic.
"And that's what I've done. And we've done very well," Trump said. "We don't want to jump up and down and start shouting that we have a problem that is a tremendous problem -- scare everybody." Trump pointed out that the administration immediately started buying masks other health equipments during the early stages of the outbreak. "And we don't want to cause pricing to go up to a level that becomes almost unaffordable," he said.
Woodward defended his decision to delay release of the excerpts of his interview with Trump.
"I told him it was for the book," Woodward told The Washington Post. "But as far as promising not to publish in real time or signing such an agreement... I don't do that." 'Rage' draws from hundreds of hours of interviews with firsthand witnesses as well as participants' notes, emails, diaries, calendars and confidential documents. Woodward has as many as 18 on-the-record interviews, which began in February.
The book also covers race relations, diplomacy with North Korea and a range of other issues during the past two years.
