Coronavirus in the world: WHO offers citizens to postpone holidays so as not to regret later, but does not support mass quarantines
Celebrate Christmas later WHO Head Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus believes that the best strategy in the coming holiday period is to cancel Christmas and New Year’s plans and celebrate later. The reason was the rapid increase in the incidence of a new variant of the coronavirus “Omicron”. According to him, the fastest way to return to normal life is to “make the difficult decisions necessary to protect yourself and others,” which will often be associated with a change of New Year’s plans. “We are all tired of this pandemic, we all want to spend time with friends and family, we all want to return to normal life,” said the head of the WHO. — In some cases, this will mean the cancellation or postponement of events, for example, we had to cancel a reception that we planned to hold with you (journalists) today.

Rapid melting of Himalayan glaciers may leave Asia without water
Specialists from The University of Leeds conducted a study of Himalayan glaciers and concluded that in recent decades they have melted ten times faster than the average since the last major expansion of glaciers 400-700 years ago – a period known as the Little Ice Age. This study also shows that Himalayan glaciers are shrinking much faster than glaciers in other parts of the world, so much so that scientists describe this melting as “exceptional.” During the study, scientists reconstructed the size and ice surfaces of 14,798 Himalayan glaciers during the Little Ice Age, and then compared them with the current area, and saw that the glaciers lost about 40 percent of their area. During this period, they lost as much ice as is contained today in the central European Alps, in the Caucasus and in Scandinavia combined. The team calculated that the water released as a result of this melting raised
