India is used to tragedy and pain. That does not mean it is inured to it.
The New York Times recently quoted an Indian who had witnessed COVID-19 patients dying from lack of oxygen. He described the situation with a horrible intensity: “Have you seen a fish out of water? It’s unimaginable. Just like a fish out of water.”
Those who know India were surprised that the first round of COVID to strike the country did not do more harm. The inhabitants of its huge cities live in crowded and confined spaces. Overall, the country’s public health structure is weak and in rural areas, rudimentary. Most of its people are poor.
News by Tarric Brooker Since the pandemic arrived on our shores a little over a year ago, the Australian property market has been on quite the rollercoaster of highs and lows. This time last year, sellers were often accepting 10 per cent below their asking price and predictions of prices falling almost a third were coming from some of the big four banks. But with record-low interest rates and government stimulus starting to flow into housing, thebroader market bottomed out and began its climb to current heights. Rather than crashing, property prices are currently growing at the fastest rate since the late 1980s.

We found long-term heating is associated with changed seasonal balance of deaths in Australia, with relatively more deaths in summer months and relatively fewer deaths in winter months over recent decades.
Our findings can be explained by the gradual global warming associated with climate change. Over the 51 years of our study, annual average temperatures increased by more than 1°C in Australia. The last decade (2011 to 2020) was the hottest in the country’s recorded history.
If we continue on this trajectory, we’re likely to see many more climate-related deaths in the years to come.
