En mayo, la inflación mensual en Venezuela cayó a 6,3%, regresando a un solo dígito por primera vez en más de un año. Este avance demuestra que la fase de recuperación económica del plan de tres fases de @POTUS y @SecRubio está dando resultados concretos. Mantener el impulso de las reformas será clave para consolidar la estabilidad, atraer inversión y generar prosperidad duradera para los venezolanos. – JB

"We all go through this natural transition of midlife, and we go through perimenopause and menopause. For too long, it was as if this was an invisible issue."

Women's midlife health and menopause are finally getting more attention from startups, researchers, and philanthropists. Melinda French Gates recently announced a major funding increase through Pivotal, the organization she founded to accelerate progress for women and families.

An updated nighttime moment from Ichikawa Zoo… and Punch has everyone emotional again tonight. 🥺🌙🐒 Late in the evening, Punch was seen sitting quietly alone on monkey mountain holding OranMama tightly while the cold wind moved through the rocks around him. 🧸 And then came the moment nobody expected. Punch slowly leaned forward… gently kissed the plush toy… and pulled it even closer into his tiny arms like he was looking for comfort before sleeping. No chaos. No movement. Just little Punch quietly sitting in the dark with the one thing that always seems to make him feel safe. 🧡

After having consulted the #DRC and #Uganda where the #Ebola disease caused by Bundibugyo virus is known to be currently occurring, I determine that the epidemic constitutes a public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC), as defined in the provisions of IHR.

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Swiss authorities have confirmed a case of #hantavirus identified in a passenger from the MV Hondius cruise ship.

He had responded to an email from the ship’s operator informing the passengers of the health event, and presented himself to a hospital in Zurich, Switzerland, and is receiving care.

In line with the International Health Regulations (IHR), WHO is working with relevant countries to support international contact tracing, to ensure that those potentially exposed are monitored and that any further disease spread is limited.

The type of virus in this outbreak has been confirmed as Andes hantavirus by the National Institute for Communicable Diseases @nicd_sa, South Africa and the Geneva University Hospitals @hug_ge, Switzerland
The support of the Institut Pasteur de Dakar @PasteurDakar, Senegal and the Administración Nacional de Laboratorios e Institutos de Salud @ANLIS_Malbran, Argentina has also been critical in responding to this event.

As of 6 May, there are 8 cases, 3 of whom are confirmed as hantavirus by laboratory testing.

WHO will continue to work with countries to ensure that the patients, contacts, passengers and crew have the information and support they need to stay safe and prevent spread.

Macundales :)

[José Monk 🇻🇪&🇨🇱➡️❤️ @Prackg]

La palabra “macundales” es otra que usamos mucho los venezolanos, esta tiene su origen en la Venezuela petrolera de mediados del siglo XX. Las empresas gringas poseían herramientas de la marca Mac&Dales o Macandales. En esa época seguramente los gringos decían “trae las macandales” y el criollo venezolano se preguntaba ¿las quéé? ¿Tú sabéis que cebillo dijo el gringo este? A lo que su compañero decía “que le llevéis los macundales chico” -ah bueno llevémosle el verguero este que está aquí. Y así nació la palabra macundales. Del verguero y el cebillo hablaremos en otra ocasión.😅

Oil doesn't flow without the experts who know the fields. The 2003 PDVSA purge wasn't just political; it was an assault on technical excellence. Restoring these professionals' rights is the first step to rebuilding Venezuela's energy power. @SecRubio @usembassyve @CIDH

At least 9 rigs of between 500 and 1,500 horsepower have been taken out of storage in recent weeks to prepare for onshore deployment, while another five are being assessed. The moves show the oilfield service companies are growing more confident of renewed oil output in Venezuela
