No one’s getting new emoji in 2021 because of the pandemic

The good news is that the emoji that were announced earlier this year, like the olive, beaver, and plunger, will still be available this fall. This means the deadline for submitting new emoji pushed back

Risks associated with school closures due to COVID-19 outbreak

In response to COVID-19 pandemic, 188 countries have implemented country-wide school closures. Based on a modelling study, Ferguson et al. (2020) have concluded that school closures will reduce COVID-19 deaths in UK by 2-4% only. Given a vast majority of children and adolescents experience mild symptoms only, the greatest threat from COVID-19 is restricted learning, socializing and physical activity for 90% of the world's students currently out of education.

Panic abandonment of household pets during COVID-19 pandemic

Reports on house pets and their owners testing positive for COVID-19 is leading to the abandonment of pets. Researchers at Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University, Wuhan state that panic abandonment of animals during the pandemic is not justified. They argue that limiting human interactions is the mainstay to control the outbreak as SARS, a virus similar to COVID-19, showed no animal-to-human transmission and was contained by interrupting human-to-human transmission.

Is social distancing really possible in the developing world?

Due to limited institutional capacity and high economic costs, the social distancing strategy being used to mitigate the spread of COVID-19 in the United States or China cannot be replicated in developing countries like Bangladesh, says Yale's development economist, Mushfiq Mobarak. The primary reason is non-compliance with the social distancing guidelines by the wider population due to the government's limited capacity to provide stimulus package and economic support
