coronavirus does not appear to be mutating in a dangerous way, according to experts studying the virus, the World Health Organization (WHO) said.In a press briefing on Wednesday, the WHO said scientists around the world have identified more than 40,000 full genome sequences of the virus, but fortunately, these mutations are not stronger new strains.“Scientists are looking to see: are there changes in the virus?

And as it is a coronavirus — it is an RNA virus — there are normal changes in this virus that one would expect over time,” WHO infectious disease epidemiologist Maria Van Kerkhove said at the press conference.“None of these changes so far indicate that the virus itself is changing in terms of its ability to transmit or to cause more.

Nurses in Canada say working during the COVID-19 Omicron wave has left them burnt out, physically and mentally, and an increase in abuse directed at health-care workers has pushed them to breaking point. According to a report from the Ontario Science Table, pre-pandemic, 20 to 40 per cent of health-care workers reported severe burnout. By spring 2021, rates had climbed to more than 60 per cent.

Mapping the trucker convoy in Ottawa: ‘no one’s leaving here’

so-called “freedom convoy” that has snarled downtown Ottawa streets is widening its grip on the city, sprawling out in new, smaller encampments scattered around town.And while the police say they’ve negotiated movement of some trucks around the city, there are protesters in various encampments who continue to dig in their heels.“If trucks leave here, they’re going out on a convoy. They’re going to join the rest of the trucks,” said John Bancroft, a coordinator for the encampment site set up on Coventry Road — a short drive from downtown Ottawa.“No one’s leaving here until the mandates are lifted.” Trudeau calls on all parties to denounce ‘illegal’ trucker occupations, blockades But in the days since, that setup has shifted — and Global News has created a map of what the convoy protest’s encampments look like now.The original location of the convoy, Wellington Street, remains lined with trucks and regular vehicles.

Beijing Winter Games on Saturday.The event made its Olympic debut in Beijing, with pairs of one man and one woman racing back-to-back for a spot on the medal podium.Grondin and O’Dine had already claimed the silver and bronze, respectively, in individual competition earlier in the week.As he was in his earlier event, Grondin was the fastest out of the gate in every round of mixed competition, creating big leads in the earlier rounds. Yet he was finally outpaced in the final and finished third behind American Nick Baumgartner and Italy’s Omar Visintin.That meant O’Dine lost the advantage she had in the quarterfinals and semifinals, as the women started staggered depending on the speed of their teammates.O’Dine battled for second position but fell halfway through her run after colliding with Italy’s Caterina Carpano, yet the Canadian still managed to cross in third position.Baumgartner’s teammate Lindsey Jacobellis brought home her second gold for the U.S.

Olympic officials suggest Russian skater’s entourage should be probed for failed drug test

Olympic officials on Saturday said they would welcome an anti-doping investigation into the Russian doctors, coaches and family members in the entourage of gold medal winning teenage skater Kamila Valieva.Valieva’s future at the Beijing Olympics hangs in the balance after the stunning revelation she had tested positive for a banned substance before winning the team event on Monday, but that the positive drug test report took more than six weeks to be made public.Fans of figure skating, athletes and anti-doping advocates have expressed outrage over a teenager being dragged into the center of an Olympic doping controversy with a positive test for an angina drug. Many have questioned the role of the adults around the 15-year-old skater.On Saturday, International Olympics Committee spokesman Mark Adams said: “Entourage has been overlooked in the past.” Beijing Olympics: Russian skater’s failed drug test confirmed, setting up fight with IOC The delay in Valieva receiving her positive drug test result also loomed large on Saturday as Olympic and anti-doping officials sought to reinstate her ban.Valieva was suspended by the Russian anti-doping body after the positive test report, but the suspension was lifted a day later after she appealed, allowing her to continue to compete.
