WHO emergencies director Michael Ryan said it was also wrong to think that if Covid-19 did settle down and become endemic, that would mean the end of the problem. "I certainly do not believe we've reached anything close to an endemic situation with this virus," Dr Ryan told a live question-and-answer session on the WHO's social media channels.

He said it had not settled down into any seasonal pattern or transmission pattern, and was still quite volatile, still capable of causing huge epidemics. "That is not an endemic disease yet." He cited tuberculosis and malaria as endemic diseases that still killed millions of people per year. "Don't believe that endemic equals it's over, it's mild or not a problem.

That's not the case at all," Dr Ryan said. WHO's Covid-19 technical lead Maria Van Kerkhove, who herself has caught the disease and is isolating in the United States, said the virus was circulating at a high level, causing "huge amounts of death and devastation". "We're still in the middle of this pandemic.

20 internet providers to discount fee for low-income Americans, White House says

FILE IMAGE - President Joe Biden speaks to an audience at United Performance Metals on May 6, 2022, in Cincinnati, Ohio. (Photo by Jon Cherry/Getty Images) WASHINGTON - The Biden administration announced on Monday that 20 internet companies have agreed to provide discounted service to low-income Americans, a program that could effectively make tens of millions of households eligible for free service through an already existing federal subsidy.The $1 trillion infrastructure package passed by Congress last year included $14.2 billion in funding for the Affordable Connectivity Program, which provides $30 monthly subsidies ($75 in tribal areas) on internet service for millions of lower-income households.With the new commitment from the internet providers, some 48 million households will be eligible for $30 monthly plans for 100 megabits per second, or higher speed, service — making internet service fully paid for with the government subsidy if they sign up with one of the providers participating in the program.Biden, during his White House run and the push for the infrastructure bill, made expanding high-speed internet access in rural and low-income areas a priority.

Putin marks Victory Day as Russia presses Ukraine assault

ZAPORIZHZHIA, Ukraine - Russian forces pushed forward Monday in their assault on Ukraine, seeking to capture the crucial southern port city of Mariupol as Moscow celebrated its Victory Day holiday.Determined to show success in a war now in its 11th week, Russian troops pummeled a seaside steel mill where an estimated 2,000 Ukrainian fighters are making their last stand in the port city of Mariupol.The mill is the only part of the city not overtaken by the invaders. Its defeat would deprive Ukraine of a vital port and allow Russia to establish a land corridor to the Crimean Peninsula, which it seized from Ukraine in 2014.The Ukrainian military's General Staff warned of a high probability of missile strikes and said that Russian troops were seizing "personal documents from the local population without good reason" in Russian-controlled areas of Zaporizhzhia — the city where many fleeing Mariupol have gathered.
