MORE THAN 4000 DEATHS IN INDIA REPORTED FOR 2ND STRAIGHT DAY

On Thursday (May 13), more than 4000 deaths were reported for the second day in a row from India, while the number of Covid-19 cases remains below 400,000 for a fourth day.

As Covid-19 continues to spread in rural areas, some cases might not be reported due to testing shortages.

Experts are still not sure when the number of Covid-19 cases will reach its peak and more people are concerned about the transmissibility of the variant which is increasing infection rates and spreading across the globe.

Professor of epidemiology at the University of Michigan Dr Bhramar Mukherjee said that most models had predicted a peak this week and that the country could be seeing signs of that trend.

Still, the number of new cases each day is large enough to overwhelm hospitals, Dr Bhramar Mukherjee added on Twitter. “The key word is cautious optimism.”

With a population of more than 230 million, the situation in rural areas of Uttar Pradesh is extremely grim as TV pictures show families crying in rural hospitals or staying in wards to take care of the sick.

Many bodies can be seen in the Ganges river, as crematoriums are overcrowded and the lack of wood for funerals.

DESPERATE GUY MAKES TISSUE ROSE IN BAR AND GIVES IT TO WAITRESS, THROWN AWAY

A guy who is lost and does not know how to find a girlfriend tries all methods to impress the girl of his dreams.

Here is the story:

I have a friend who is desperate to get a girlfriend and tries to impress a waitress in a bar in town by performing something which he thinks will get some attention from the waitress.

He asked the waitress for a piece of tissue and started folding it into a rose and gave it to the waitress. The waitress crushed it immediately and threw it into the bin.

My friend who was already drinking was already intoxicated started to cry loudly as if someone had died. He started to make a scene and I had no choice but to pull him out of the bar and he told me “Im awake now, i can go home”.

I did not had enough to drink so I went to another nearby bar to drink, I assumed he went home and ordered another jug of beer to drink. He suddenly appeared and joined me, after he calm down he tried doing the same method to another waitress by folding the “tissue rose”.

The moment I see him doing that I paid the bill and left him there as I do not want to be embarrassed by his behavior.

KHAW BOON WAN: “I AM OUT OF MY DEPTH, BUT I KNOW MY PURPOSE”

The new chairman of Singapore Press Holding’s not-for-profit media entity SPH Media Trust, Khaw Boon Wan, spoke during a press conference on 12 May.

He said that he is out of his depth in terms of journalism but intends to add value however he can.

Khaw said: “I don’t know how to be a journalist, I am not a journalist, I am out of my depth here.”

He added: “How can I interfere with the news room if I don’t know what I’m talking here?”

Khaw also touched on SPH subscription fees and staff cuts, saying:

“If your objective is just to chase eyeballs, then the easiest is [to] make it free. But does mak[ing] it free serve the objective […] [of] quality journalism, quality contents?”

“Are you sure they’re reading it? Or they just read one line and throw it away?”

“This paid model forces us to make sure [we] are a lot more analytical, [with] deeper analysis and, more importantly, original insights, which I can’t get from the competition.”

“So, instead of talking about staff cuts and retrenchments, it is just the opposite.”

“So pass the word around — if you have good writers out there who left us last year or recently, and they are good team workers, bring them back. I’ll find money to pay them, so that we can enhance the newsroom.”
