Re: [Goanet] COVID STATS GOA
Based on reports from the ground, the number of COVID cases are much higher in Goa. The situation is very dire, a combination of open tourism, new variants of the virus, a false sense things were permanently getting better, continuing super-spreader events, lack of social distancing, lack of using face-masks, low rate of vaccinations and overall mismanagement of the crisis.

To him goes the credit for spotting the index case and correctly diagnosing the outbreak as bubonic plague, much to the skepticism and scorn of some of his peers. He then launched a campaign to clean up slums and exterminate rats, the carriers of the plague. There are so many parallels between the lives of Dr. Acacio Viegas and my own great-grandfather Gen. Dr. Miguel Caetano Dias (1854-1936). They both were Goan doctors of course, but their timelines overlap neatly, born two years apart and their deaths three years from each other. Both were at the forefront of the campaign against plague in their respective cities, at different times (1896 onwards in the case of Viegas in Bombay; the first decade or so of the 20th century in Goa for Dr. Dias) and from slightly different vantage points. While Dr. Viegas was in private practice, Dr. Dias was at the helm of both the Escola Médica and Serviços de Saúde (Health Services). Both, from all available accounts didn’t discriminate between rich or poor. Both saw the connection between public health and civic administration: Dr. Viegas became President (the first native Christian to do so) of the Bombay Municipal Corporation in 1906; Dr. Dias was President of the first Provincial Congress of Goa and also mayor of the Municipal Council of Ilhas. https://luisdias.wordpress.com/2021/04/25/a-tale-of-two-cities-epidemics-and-heroes/ * * * APEX COURT, GOA AND ENV ISSUES: Citing ecosystem, Supreme Court panel red-flags Goa rail project; for tweaks in power, road plans These projects had been cleared by the Centre last year despite concerns being raised at various levels since they would cut through the Bhagwan Mahaveer Wildlife Sanctuary (BMWS) and the Mollem National Park (MNP) in South Goa. https://indianexpress.com/article/india/citing-ecosystem-supreme-court-panel-red-flags-goa-rail-project-for-tweaks-in-power-road-plans-7290477/ * * * MEDICAL INFO: Dr Poonam's VLog: Useful medical tips from and for Goa https://www.facebook.com/drpoonamsvlog/ (Facebook) * * * COVID CLAIMS GOAN JOURNALIST IN N.

BY ABBEY PERREAULT (Sept 2018) To the south of Mumbai lies Goa, a state on India’s western coast that was colonized in the 16th century by the Portuguese, who brought with them cashew trees and Catholicism. Goans began crafting kaju feni, a potent spirit made from distilling the red, bulbous fruit of the cashew tree. In the late 19th century, many Goans migrated to Bombay in search of employment, bringing with them feni and religious beliefs that embraced drinking. Prohibition presented both an obstacle and an opportunity for those with a taste for liquor. At the end of the day, men of all classes and creeds wanted a drink. And so it was mostly middle-aged Goan Christian women, often widowed or with unemployed husbands, who met the demand. Relative to most Muslim and Hindu women, they held relaxed views on alcohol -- and most importantly, they needed to feed their families. https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/prohibition-in-bombay * * * DIASPORA, IDENTITY, LITERATURE: Identitarian Spaces of Goan Diasporic Communities Pereira-Madeira, Leanora * * * ST MARY'S CONVENT MAPUSA ON THE WIKIPEDIA https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._Mary%27s_Convent_High_School,_Goa * * * MODI TRIP OFF: Narendra Modi cancels trips to Portugal, France https://www.livemint.com/news/india/narendra-modi-cancels-visits-to-portugal-france-11618926095019.html * * * SHARE A USEFUL LINK: Send it in via +91-9822122436 (WA) or fredericknoron...@gmail.com -- _/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/_/ _/ FN * फ्रेड्रिक नोरोन्या * فريدريك نورونيا +91-9822122436 _/ See a different Goa here, via _/ https://youtube.com/c/frederickfnnoronha
[Goanet] CM PRAMOD SAWANT HAS DRIVEN GOA TO THE BRINK
Goa is going through very turbulent times with scary days ahead. The forecast seems to be very bleak. Our hospitals and health centers are overwhelmed while our valiant brave medical heroes working round the clock to save precious lives. People are living in fear and with great anxiety. It’s a sense of deep concern and despair all over. In this Pandemic the government must get its priorities wrong. It cannot be concerned about speeding up non priority issues like land conversions rather than focusing on saving precious lives that we are losing by the day. In the current grim scenario only decisions on urgent issues should be taken while it should not be an opportunity to discreetly take other far reaching decisions without consulting the people. In the last two years the devastation of Goa has escalated and accelerated, the situation only worsening beyond imagination, particularly in the last year despite this epidemic. This government has brazenly and heartlessly been pursuing and pushing needless projects to Goa’s detriment and degradation of our already very fragile environment. It is high time our ‘accidental’ Chief Minister Pramod Sawant awakens to realize that the only way ahead for salvation is a strong, effective and sustained lockdown. Whatever it takes and for as long as it takes, till we overcome the virus. His Ayurvedic concoctions will just not work. It will only push Goa from the frying pan into the deep raging fire. The Chief Minister must act swiftly and urgently. The time to act is now. If he cannot despite the deterioration in the situation, not helped by his lack luster half measures, as it is now beyond his capability then he must do the decent thing and jump ship to make room for another Captain to steer a now sinking Goa to safer waters. With proper urgent measures, driven by expert medical and scientific advice and determined resolve and leadership against Coronavirus, we can and must win this battle. We cannot allow our beautiful State to meet the fate of the Titanic. All we see now is a helpless CM and Government in power but not in control. Over recent days and weeks, the CM like the Captain of the Titanic has been moving the chairs on deck instead of changing course. CM, please act immediately. Atam Bhivpachi garaz Asa!

[Goanet] COVID 19, New Dictators and Citizens Responsibilities
It is right that issues Number 257 and 258 should be SECOND WAVE -- COVID 19. VM in his usual way has castigated what has happened in Modi’s India of being heartless, socially very divisive …Mervyn used *Arundhati Roy to powerfully say what is in her mind. Three points struck me and I will quote her:* A)The system hasn?t collapsed. The government has failed. Perhaps ?failed? is an inaccurate word, because what we are witnessing is not criminal negligence, but an outright crime against humanity,?* B)Describing the current government as a ?crisis-generating machine,? she said ?incapable of leading us out of this disaster?.* C)Modi the magician took a bow for saving humanity by containing the virus during the first wave while ?boasting and gloating? about the virus doing less damage than predicted by experts.* Something similar was about to happen in Tanzania. Fortunately there was Divine Intervention and we have a Lady President. No longer will it be a One Person show in Tanzania. Last Friday we met at The Policy Forum in Tanzania. The keynote was addressed by the former CAG (Controller and Auditor General, and supported by two activist. It is like Spring has arrived in Tanzania, like it did in some Arab countries about a decade ago. One of the two discussants called on the active participation of all citizens in different ways to be human and not zombies of a Political Party, openly racist and take pride in all this and even go as far as to deceive that the Gods are divided. There is one God ..period. Even in India sanctity will eventually prevail. This is what happened in Zimbabwe, Republic of South Africa. Dictators be it Mussolini or Hitler either will take themselves out like Hitler or be executed. The Pandemic will be conquered by science, modern and traditional in ways we cannot imagine.

Re: [Goanet] Modi is guilty of mass negligent manslaughter in India - Haaretz
We have been told India is progressing, but the dim reality is India is falling far behind not just China, but many other countries. But the rich are becoming super-rich while the rest of the population struggles. The COVID issue is only one of India's many failures. And of course, Goa is getting worse everyday on many fronts - primarily driven by the great Goan land-grab currently underway.
