China warns ,don’t appease trump
Actually, he's most skilled at making nothing out of something, such as his dad's co-signed loans and massive inheritance. He certainly didn't do Atlantic City nor the Plaza Hotel any favors. Also, in 2017 he took a growing economy and 4.8% unemployment and left Biden a Recession and 6.8% UE. In Part II, he took the best economy since the late 1990s and a stock market at an all time high and has sent the market and dollar reeling and---soon to be announced over the next few months---both slowed the economy and rocked unemployment. That's a lot of nothing out of a pile of really good somethings. -

Myanmar Rebels to Hand Lashio Back to Junta
Lashio Rebel forces in Myanmar are preparing to hand the strategic city of Lashio back to the military, just eight months after seizing it in a major blow to the junta—marking a dramatic shift in the country’s ongoing civil war. The Myanmar National Democratic Alliance Army (MNDAA) captured Lashio in August 2024, ousting the military from its northeastern command hub and disrupting key trade routes with China. Analysts called it the junta’s most severe loss since the 2021 coup plunged the nation into conflict. Now, under quiet Chinese mediation, the MNDAA appears poised to surrender the city without a fight. “At the joint invitation of both sides, China recently dispatched a ceasefire monitoring team to Lashio,” Chinese foreign ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun confirmed this week, adding that Beijing would “witness the smooth and orderly handover.” China has long walked a delicate line in Myanmar, supplying arms to the military regime while maintaining ties with ethnic armed groups like the MNDAA, whose territory lies just 100 kilometres from the Chinese border. The rebels have remained tight-lipped, but reports from Lashio suggest the handover is already in motion. A resident said MNDAA members were seen meeting military officials inside a hotel, while a local ethnic group allied with the rebels reported an influx of military vehicles. A junta source confirmed officers have been redeployed to the city in recent days. The move comes after Beijing reportedly cut off water, power and internet to the MNDAA’s Kokang stronghold following Lashio’s fall—signalling Chinese displeasure with instability so close to its Belt and Road investment corridors. The MNDAA, along with allied ethnic forces, had launched a major offensive in late 2023, capturing swathes of Shan State and tightening control over cross-border trade routes and lucrative gem mines. While the upcoming handover may restore Lashio to junta hands, it underscores China’s growing influence in Myanmar’s volatile north—and highlights how regional powers are shaping the conflict’s future as much as the fighters on the ground. -2025-04-23 -

2024-2025 COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness, Side Effects, Safety, and More
The latest COVID vaccine effectiveness data says the current version reduces adults' age 18 and above risk of COVID-caused emergency department or urgent care visits by about one-third, compared to those who have not received the latest version of the vaccine. Likewise, the latest version of the vaccine was found to achieve a 45-46% reduction in risk of COVID-related hospitalization for senior citizens age 65 and above, versus those who have not received the latest version of the vaccine. The U.S. Centers for Disease Control also found that COVID vaccines averted approximately 68,000 hospitalizations in the U.S. during the 2023–24 respiratory season. Interim Estimates of 2024–2025 COVID-19 Vaccine Effectiveness Among Adults Aged ≥18 Years — VISION and IVY Networks, September 2024–January 2025 U.S. Centers for Disease Control February 27, 2025 What is already known about this topic? In June 2024, CDC’s Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) recommended 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccination for all persons aged ≥6 months to provide additional protection against severe COVID-19. What is added by this report? Vaccine effectiveness (VE) of 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccine was 33% against COVID-19–associated emergency department (ED) or urgent care (UC) visits among adults aged ≥18 years and 45%–46% against hospitalizations among immunocompetent adults aged ≥65 years, compared with not receiving a 2024–2025 vaccine dose. VE against hospitalizations in immunocompromised adults aged ≥65 years was 40%. What are the implications for public health practice? These findings indicate that 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccination provides additional protection against COVID-19–associated ED/UC encounters and hospitalization, versus no 2024–2025 vaccination and support CDC and ACIP recommendations that all persons aged ≥6 months receive 2024–2025 COVID-19 vaccination. https://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/volumes/74/wr/mm7406a1.htm -

China warns ,don’t appease trump
Just a quick story for those regurgitating mainstream propaganda instead of making sensible conclusions from reality: https://apnews.com/article/tariffs-trade-taxes-trump-china-bessent-treasury-66668fa26957ece530a250fa8ea19faa And before long, we'll all see another news story about how Trump and Xi are in negotiations. Neither side can afford this nonsense, and so it won't go one too much longer.
