Fashion is constantly evolving, with new trends emerging and old favourites making comebacks. One of the most notable resurgences in recent years is the rise of cargo pants. Once associated with purely utilitarian purposes, cargo pants have transformed into a staple for anyone seeking comfort, versatility, and style. Here’s why cargo pants should be an essential part of every wardrobe, whether you're dressing for work, a casual outing, or even an evening event.
COVID-19 Coronavirus and other virus UK and World News Update 27th September 2024
The UK's 'cumulative mortality' continues to run at a level lower than would be expected historically. Summed up by COVID Actuary Stuart McDonald:
"Age-standardised death rates this year have tracked the best year on record (2019) very closely, except during the Covid-19 waves in June and July when death rates were a bit higher."
It's a very sad victory, but after so many people died early due to COVID, we would expect death rates to be lower than averages once stability returns. Last year it was clear that hadn't happened, this year looks more promising (unless XEC ruins it).
COVID-19 Coronavirus and other virus UK and World News Update 16th August 2024
"Today, the Emergency Committee met and advised me that in its view, the situation constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC). I have accepted that advice."
Dr Tedros, Head of WHO, with the unfortunate job that no head of WHO ever wants. It's his 3rd time announcinga PHEIC, and the 2nd for Mpox (aka Monkeypox)...
"Mpox has been reported in DRC (Democratic Republic of Congo) for more than a decade, and the number of cases reported each year has increased steadily over that period.
Last year, reported cases increased significantly, and already the number of cases reported so far this year has exceeded last year’s total, with more than 14,000 cases and 524 deaths.
As many of you who tune into our regular press conferences know, WHO has been working on the mpox outbreak in Africa and raising the alarm that this is something that should concern us all."
