HOT TOPICS PAGE 05 COMMENTARY PAGE 08 VIRUS FOCUS PAGE 10 Registered in the Department of Posts of Sri Lanka under No: QD/130/News/2021 Sunlight could explain glaring differences in COVID-19 death numbers DUBLIN - Data from hard-hit countries such as Britain, Italy and the United States suggest sunnier areas "are associated with fewer deaths from COVID-19," according to scientists at the University of Edinburgh. Published in the British Journal of Dermatology, the study said "higher ambient UVA [ultraviolet A radiation] exposure" is "associated with lower COVID-19 specific mortality." The team compared deaths linked to COVID-19 in the US from January to April 2020 with UV levels for almost 2,500 US counties, before replicating the methodology for Britain and It- aly. The three countries have reported some of the world's high- est pandemic-related death numbers, both per capita and abso- lute, though fatalities dropped significantly during the summer months. Most countries in Asia and Africa have reported rela- tively low deaths per capita throughout the pandemic. Paper co-author Chris Dibben said, "The relationship be- tween COVID-19 mortality, season and latitude has been quite striking; here we offer an alternative explanation for this phe- nomenon." The researchers said they controlled for the possible impact of Vitamin D, which has been widely cited as a COVID-19 inhibitor and is called "the sunshine vitamin" due to the human body producing more of it when skin is exposed to sunlight.

  • Presidential Election – 2010 Interim Report -I
    24/2, 28th Lane, Off Flower Road, Colombo 07 Tel: 011 7920950, 0117920951Fax: 011 7920949 E-mail: [email protected] Website: www.cpalanka.org Presidential Election – 2010 Interim Report -I 25th January 2010 Colombo Sri Lanka CMEV is deeply concerned that the integrity of the electoral process has been seriously challenged in the course of this Presidential Election campaign. In particular, CMEV wishes to record its grave concerns over the blatant disregard demonstrated for the Rule of Law, the authority of the Election Commissioner, allegations of irregularities in the conduct of postal voting, the intervention of serving military officers in the political campaign and the misuse of state resources and of state media organs. We also wish to reiterate our concern over the effective disenfranchisement of a large number of IDPs and over the problems previously highlighted in respect of voting identity documentation. Elections are the basic mechanism for choice and change in a functioning democracy and accordingly provide an illustration of the health of the institutions and processes of governance in the country. In this respect, what has transpired in this campaign – the first in a post war Sri Lanka in almost two decades- profiles break down and dysfunction underpinned by a zero-sum political culture impervious with seeming impunity to the norms and procedures of democratic governance. This election campaign has been characterized by persistent mudslinging, the abuse of state resources and the intensification of violence, resulting in 05 Murders and the use of firearms in 121 incidents – 14% of all incidents and 33.15% of all Major incidents - in this first election in the aftermath of the defeat of terrorism.
