“I agree that vulnerable people want to wear masks as a precaution, but that’s their own choice,” Andrew said. When someone asked why he didn’t wear them when he went to public places such as supermarkets, subways, he lied, “I am exempt from wearing masks”. Many men refuse to wear masks because they consider it a sign of lack of masculinity and weakness. Photo: Cottonbro / Pexels. According to the The Independent Wearing a mask is the most important method to prevent the virus from spreading. The World Health Organization has been urging people to wear masks since June 2020, a scientific review published in July of the same year in the Journal of the American Medical Association described it as “an important important” in the fight against Covid-19. However, the disturbing fact is that there is a large number of people who refuse to wear masks like Andrew, the majority of which are men. A survey of 2,459 people in the US conducted by two academics at Middlesex University (London) and the University of Berkeley (California, USA) in May 2020 found that men are not only less likely to wear masks in public places. women, many of whom even consider wearing them “embarrassing, uncomfortable and a sign of weakness”. “Wearing a mask is a sign of weakness” Even when he tested positive for Covid-19 and had to be hospitalized, former US President Donald Trump still wanted to show that he did not need a mask, he took it off while standing on the steps of the White House after returning from the hospital. institute. “I don’t wear a mask like him. Standing a few dozen meters away, he was still wearing the biggest mask I’ve ever seen,” Trump said of President Joe Biden during the September 2020 debate. Trump seems to be implying that not wearing a mask means he is showing overwhelming strength against his opponent. Many men believe that only vulnerable people need to wear masks.

A study conducted by the Kaiser Family Foundation, an American NGO that focuses on public health issues, found that 68% of women regularly wear masks when leaving the house, this number in men is 49%. Emma Lygnerud Boberg, gender and program development consultant at International Media Support (Denmark), said: “This is a trend that we have seen before, where men appear to be reluctant to adopt measures. preventive measures than women”. She further notes that this is also consistent with other data, like men wearing seat belts less often than women. Peter Glick, an expert at Lawrence University in Wisconsin, says that men seem willing to take greater risks in everyday life, and that there are toxic gender stereotypes that force men to flex their muscles and fear. hurt. “Men are socialized to be dominant and independent. All these characteristics are intended to reinforce patriarchal norms that present masculinity as a performance. Wearing a mask can be interpreted as It shows weakness in some men. It shows that they are openly afraid of this virus, which means breaking courage,” he told The Independent. Toxic gender stereotypes Preliminary research by James Mahalik, Boston College professor of Developmental Educational Psychology, and doctoral fellows Michael Di Bianca and Michael Harris suggests that individualist tendencies and skepticism toward science Education can be directly related to whether or not a person will accept wearing a mask. To find out why some men refused to wear masks, Mahalik surveyed 596 men across 49 states, of various ages, with incomes ranging from less than $10,000 a year to more than $200,000 a year. The survey asked each person to rate whether they identified certain masculinity standards and to express their thoughts on the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommendations to minimize sexual harassment. spread of Covid-19. Toxic gender stereotypes are part of the reason some men don’t want to wear masks. In general, respondents felt positive about the Covid-19 prevention guidelines and said they adhered to them (since this was self-provided data, the researchers could not confirm that they actually wear masks all the time). Men who hold negative views on public health recommendations, such as social distancing and wearing face masks, also have traditional masculinity ideals revolving around emotional control, self-reliance, unity, and self-reliance. dominance, victory, power over women, and heterosexual self-expression. “We found that media masculinity saw less benefit from following CDC guidelines. They see more barriers, less trust in science, and they have less empathy for vulnerable or high-risk people,” Mahalik told Fast Company. Instead of trying to convince masculine men to change core elements of their identities, public health officials might consider reducing individualism in men by focusing on more socially friendly aspects of traditional masculinity.

These days, when the Covid-19 epidemic is complicated and need to limit going out to prevent epidemics, Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha (office worker, living in Hanoi) has a habit of buying and storing food. once a week. Ms. Thu Ha shared: Usually she only goes to the market once a week on weekends. The amount of food each time she buys just enough for 7-10 days to ensure quality. According to the mother of these two children, if applying the way she is doing, the days when she comes home from work, cooking becomes idle only takes 15-20 minutes. Ms. Nguyen Thu Ha said that preliminarily processing and packing into separate boxes helps you save time when cooking. With her blood and blood experience in the first time, she did not process much, sometimes only wash and put a pound of meat in the freezer, until she only took 1 pound of meat to cook for 1 meal to see the suffering. After changing “tactics”, she began to prepare food, cut into pieces enough for one meal and then divided into small trays and boxes. Here are some food preservation tips that Ms. Ha has applied to both cook and keep the freshness, deliciousness, and ensure the food safety of the food. For sliced ​​or chopped foods (ground meat, chicken heart, oyster gut …) Ms. Ha shared that she often went to the supermarket to buy clean food and then put it in an ice tray with a lid, which helps to preserve the food in each box, easy to take, and quickly defrost. If 1 person eats 1 umbrella, 3 people can eat 3-4 plots, depending on need. For scallions, tomatoes Onions are seasoning vegetables used regularly in the meals of Mrs. Ha’s family. Wash onions, flake or roast all the water, cut into pieces or shred them into a bowl, drop the onions in boiling water. Very convenient and there will be onions at all times. With tomatoes, too, she often buys a lot and after cleaning and removing the damaged part, she chooses the areca piece to keep it in the tray in the freezer. Root onions you can plug into a bowl of water to have more fresh onions Tomato is a difficult food to preserve, but Ms. Ha is very confident with how not to spoil tomatoes. She often buys a lot, washed and cut off the damaged part, sliced ​​the areca nut and put it in the tray to prevent freezer. For fish meat: Rinse, drain, place in a tray and put in freezer. For leafy vegetables: N If you wash it, you must rotate it to drain it for a long time. If it doesn’t drain, the vegetables will quickly get boots. Lettuce should be washed and dried for 5 days. Small food in freezer. What to do if the container is large and has a small meal every meal? Use foil to prevent food layers, this prevents food from sticking together, and thinly spread foods also thaw faster. Separating the 2 layers of meat with foil prevents the meat from sticking to each other. The way to do it is very simple: Put the food in the box, spread 1 layer of foil, place the second layer of food, then put foil again, and do so until the box is full. Or you can replace foil with banana leaves, that will better protect the environment. Choose good food containers According to Ms. Ha, in order to preserve food well, fresh for a long time, the food containers must be really good. Should use a storage box suitable for the freezer. There are several types of high-end plastic containers, which when storing frozen food, are easy to remove, but the food does not stick to the side of the box. The sealed box has both good preservation and no mixed smell in the refrigerator, for 7-10 days for vegetables, and still fresh for 20 days of fruits.

But the mask with the LV logo printed on it worth 330 thousand won (about 6.6 million VND) became the center of controversy. Because rare K-Pop idols appear in public with luxurious masks like Somi, this expensive accessory accidentally becomes the topic of comment. Anti-fans were accused of criticizing Jeon Somi for not having any musical achievements, but only netizens noticed by showing off brand names, and then “quibble” that not knowing that the LV mask has a more effective epidemic room than the one. Normally, the price is so expensive. Recently, it was Jennie’s turn to be examined while watching the cherry blossoms. The BLACKPINK member wears a cardigan and a sweet Chanel pink backpack, and a pink hat creates a lovely look, very suitable for taking pictures with cherry blossoms. While people were praising Jennie for a good coordination, many anti-fans started to “peel off” the set of clothes Jennie wore. Branded jackets and backpacks cost nearly $ 8,000 (about 185 million dong) for two items. Although not the most expensive items that Jennie has ever worn, many viewers criticized that Jennie did not need to wear such expensive clothes just to walk the street to see the flowers, but if it was Jennie to buy it herself, it would be too much. waste. Immediately, the BLINKs defended that Jennie is the representative face of Chanel, so it is too normal to wear the same company’s clothes often. Whether it is a sponsor or Jennie buys herself, there is nothing to blame, because Jennie has worked hard and made a lot of money, she has the right to reward herself with beautiful items.

Deputy Prime Minister Vu Dac Dam assessed that Ho Chi Minh City is a great center.

The first party was at Amsterdam’s Vondelpark – a green space with a stunning view in the Dutch capital. Hundreds of people celebrate the warm spring days of February together. “This gathering is illegal but we still participate. They couldn’t make us stay at home. We’re bored, ”one woman told Dutch TV. Crowds attend the Field Lab’s concert in early March. Photo: CNN. Video recorded by a local television channel in Amsterdam showed the excitement of young people present at Vondelpark. One guest in attendance stated that they were “fed up” with the epidemic prevention rules. After that, the police arrived and dispersed this crowd. The mayor decided to close all entrances to the park, except for the two gates, so that everyone could come here. The second gathering took place only a few kilometers away at the Ziggo Dome theater. Hundreds of people showed up to enjoy the songs that folk singer André Hazes, Jr. Shows. But this time, the police did not show up. The concert is approved by the Dutch government, not limited to a maximum of 30 people in the enclosed space. Audiences were tested negative for Covid-19 for no more than 48 hours prior to the concert. They also wear electronic bracelets for easy tracing. The concert is essentially part of a test backed by the Dutch government to see if the event planning industry can stand its ground amid a slow rollout of the Covid-19 vaccination. CNN . Vivian Nagelkerke (26), who went to the concert with a friend, said: “It’s like a dream where everything is allowed. I felt lightheaded to go back to the theater. Before the pandemic, I attended 3 concerts a week ”. The attendees have their temperature measured and must have a Covid-19 test paper no more than 48 hours before entering The Ziggo Dome theater.

They held a series of events, from dance festivals, seat concerts to soccer matches, to study the behavior of attendees, while also monitoring any possible infections. happening. “So far, the ‘lab rats’ (referring to event participants) are very happy to be involved in the study,” said Andreas Voss, professor of infection control at Radboud University, laughing. Although no exact results have been released yet, Voss said by comparing data from concert attendees to national population data, the team believes attending an event can help. strict management with the early Covid-19 test is no more risky than daily life in the Netherlands. “To date, the risk has been mostly lower than in untested cases, out of the event. We are sure to have promising results, ”he said. The Dutch Minister of Health agrees. In early March, he called the Field Lab’s initial discovery “truly encouraging”. Cheerful, happy crowd attending the concert after such a long time. Photo: Ferdy Damman / AFP. Of course, there is still a risk not only for those who have attended the events, but also to whom they subsequently come into contact with. Therefore, the organizers asked the attendees to limit their contact with anyone in the vulnerable group, and to test Covid-19 5 days after the end of the event. Field Lab reported that to date, only 5 out of 6,000 people who have attended public events they organize are positive for Covid-19. However, they are not sure if the cases were transmitted from the Field Lab event. Emily Denissen “felt flustered” to attend public events. Photo: NVCC. Emily Denissen, who celebrated her 32nd birthday at one of Field Lab’s concerts, happily recounted: “What happened that night was amazing. Everyone to relax, enjoy their best ”. Part of the story “let loose” means forgetting about the epidemic room rules for the audience. Once they have consumed alcohol, many people take off their masks and forget about social distance. However, that was not too surprising, nor was it bad. “We are not influencing them in any way,” said Professor Voss. We also do not prompt to follow the rules, because we want to know what will happen in real-life events. “It is true that during music festivals masks are removed more quickly,” he said. Meanwhile, at auditorium events, business conferences and soccer matches, more than 94% of attendees maintained wearing masks. Despite being the subject of research, Niels Fekken (21 years old) can not hide the happiness of attending a concert after more than a year at home due to the pandemic. “I can barely describe it with words. Unbelievable. From last year until now, maybe this is the first time I feel so happy, “Fekken shared with CNN .

Experts note that the confusion about airborne viral transmission has led to this simple measure being overlooked.

In the BMJ medical paper bowl, the authors, including expert Julian Tang from the University of Leicester and expert Linxey Marr from the University of Virginia Technology, indicated the likelihood of the virus spreading through inhalation at close range This is higher than through exposure to or breathing at a long distance. But airborne transmission is “only mentioned through loudspeaker in a few translation control guidelines”.

Part of the problem, experts emphasize, is that the definition of “droplet” and “airborne” is not yet clear when describing how the virus is spread,

The BMJ article states that careful measures like wearing a mask, keeping distance and reducing crowds in enclosed spaces all help prevent the spread of the virus. But experts stressed the need to add ventilation equipment because small suspended particles can remain in the air for hours and this is an important pathway of disease transmission.

Last March, the World Health Organization (WHO) also released a guide to epidemic prevention, which recommends creating better ventilation in buildings.

• On the same day, French President Emmanuel Macron on April 14 announced that France would provide free psychotherapy for children and adolescents who have suffered psychological harm due to the effects of COVID-19 epidemic.

Speaking during a visit to a psychotherapy facility in the city of Reims, President Macron said France’s social security system would reimburse a total of 10 psychotherapy sessions with a specialist for children from 3 – 17 years old.

After meeting with patients and psychologists at the facility, Mr. Macron said that France is currently having a medical problem affecting children and adolescents in addition to the COVID-19 pandemic. Cases of anxiety and other psychological problems have increased among young people to the extent that they were not seen in the first blockade last year.

Currently, France is implementing a third national blockade to prevent COVID-19 epidemic, but the measures are not as strong as the previous two waves. Schools remain open for a longer period than their European neighbors, although France has now extended the Spring break to halt the epidemic.
