WASHINGTON: At the same time as Hurricane Ida struck the USA, the Corona epidemic also took a major turn, with 1,77,568 new Corona cases reported and 1,565 deaths in a single day. The highest number of cases was reported in Texas at 26,677 and Florida at 21,392, respectively.

The death toll from the corona in Texas was 314. The total number of corona cases in the United States is 40,520,784 and the total death toll from corona is 6,62,945. Of the total corona cases reported last week, 22.4 percent were pediatric cases. This average percentage was 14.8 percent during the entire epidemic which is now increasing.

Between August 12 and August 26, there was a nine percent increase in cases of coronary heart disease. Of the 8,308 cases reported in Iowa, 22 percent were children, according to a report released this week. The hospitalization of children in the state has also quadrupled.

The outbreak of the Corona epidemic saw a slight increase in the number of new jobs in August, leading to disagreements over a possible Federal Reserve decision to cut funding in the coming months.

More than one million new jobs were created in July, compared to 235,000 in August. Unemployment fell to 5.2 percent. The declining number of jobs shows that the delta variant is causing increased fear and is having difficulty filling vacancies.

In July, 52 lakh people could not find work due to the epidemic, while in August, the number rose to 56 lakh. The increase in cases due to the highly contagious Delta variant has led to a drop in households and disrupted people's plans to go to the office and send their children to school.

The Labor Department said in a disappointing report that employment in the entertainment and hotel business remained unchanged in August. The number of parole employees in restaurants and bars was reduced to 42,000. Employment in the retail trade, construction and health sectors also fell last month. Today, 5.3 million people work less than they did on parole before the Corona epidemic.

In Pakistan, meanwhile, 3,787 new cases of corona were reported in the last 24 hours, bringing the total number of cases to 11,71,578 while the total death toll of corona was 26,035. According to data released by the National Health Service, the death toll from the epidemic in Pakistan has been 2.2 per cent and 90 per cent of the people have recovered from the infection.

Meanwhile, the first air quality and climate bulletin released by the UN Weather Agency World Meteorological Organization (WMO) warned that the restrictions imposed due to the Corona epidemic had temporarily improved the climate in urban areas.

In many parts of the world, the number of certain types of pollutants has increased. WMO Secretary-General Petrie Talas said the Corona epidemic was an experiment in improving unplanned air quality that led to an improvement in the climate at the local level but could not replace a well-planned plan to combat population growth and climate change.

The Geneva-based agency noted in its bulletin that the number of pollutants had dropped dramatically since several governments banned public gatherings, closed schools and imposed lockdowns. Researcher Oksana Tarasova said such an effect is short-lived. Currently the cars are not running so the air quality shows improvement but when the cars start running again the air quality starts getting worse again.
