From last night to today, there are still a lot of major events happening. Let's take a look.

The oil town is in turmoil again.

Yemeni coalition government official said on the 10th that in the past 24 hours, at least 25 government soldiers and 33 Houthi armed members were killed in a fierce exchange of fire between government forces and Houthi forces in Malib province in central Yemen.

The official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, also said that under the air fire support of the multinational coalition forces led by Saudi Arabia, government forces "successfully repelled the Houthi forces."

Sources from the Houthi armed forces said that the Saudi-led multinational coalition forces launched air strikes on the armed military personnel in Malib province on the 10th, but did not disclose the specific number of casualties.

Malib province is the main oil producing area of Yemen and the seat of the multinational coalition command. Recently, Houthi forces in Yemen have continued to attack oil and civilian facilities in Saudi Arabia. Since January this year, the Houthi and Yemeni government forces have exchanged fire in the province many times, resulting in hundreds of deaths and the displacement of thousands of families.

In September 2014, Houthi forces in Yemen seized the capital, Sana'a, and then occupied southern Yemen. In March 2015, Saudi Arabia and other countries launched a military operation codenamed "decisive Storm" against the Houthi. In December 2018, under the mediation of the United Nations, the Yemeni government and Houthi agreed on issues such as a ceasefire and prisoner exchange, but soon the two sides accused each other of violating the cease-fire agreement. In December 2020, the Government of Yemen and the Southern Transitional Council formed a coalition government. So far, most parts of southern Yemen have been nominally unified.

The epidemic in the United States rebounded.

Let's take another look at the global epidemic.

Recently, the epidemic in the United States has rebounded.

According to Worldometer real-time statistics, as of 06:30 Beijing time on April 11, there were a total of 31866548 confirmed cases and 575563 deaths of COVID-19 in the United States. Compared with 06:30 the previous day, there were 70807 new confirmed cases and 802 new deaths in the United States.

Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said that the number of new cases in a single day gradually rebounded from 30,000 or 40,000 to 60,000. "We have to pay attention to whether this is an inflection point for a rebound. We are indeed on the brink of another peak of the epidemic. However, several states are abolishing mandatory mask requirements and capacity restrictions on restaurants and bars. But it is too early to declare the success of the United States in the fight against the epidemic."

Data released by Johns Hopkins University on April 7 showed that in the past week, the number of confirmed cases of COVID-19 in the United States increased significantly, more than 450000, of which five states, including Michigan and New York, reported about 44 percent of the new cases.

On April 7, local time, Rochelle Valensky, director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), said at the White House briefing on COVID-19 's epidemic that the number of new cases in the United States in the past seven days was about 63000, and the average number of hospitalizations was about 5000, an increase of about 2.7 percent over last week.

Valensky called on all people who meet the vaccination criteria to be vaccinated as soon as possible. At present, more than 55% of people aged 65 and above have been vaccinated, and the number of new cases and deaths in this age group continues to decrease.

Frequent counterfeiting

More cases of fraud occur after vaccination.

Although the "vaccine passport" is difficult to implement, many public places in the United States have been required to hold COVID-19 vaccination cards or COVID-19 negative test certificates before they can pass freely.

This has also led to the emergence of related illegal industries. According to foreign media reports, the "forged certificate" underground industry in the United States is becoming increasingly rampant. Not only a negative novel coronavirus test certificate can be bought at a low price, but even a vaccination card can be easily bought.

Online stores offering fake vaccine cards have sprung up in recent weeks, with "vax-cards" on Facebook Inc's page or "blank vaccine card" on eBay being sold publicly, the New York Times reported.

Sometimes, illegal certificates are not forged, but stolen by some people. Therefore, legal experts warn that it is necessary to protect their personal privacy and avoid leaking test reports or vaccination card information on public networks.

New Zealand suspends entry of Indian visitors

New Zealand Prime Minister Adan said on the 8th that all visitors from India, including New Zealand citizens, were suspended from entering the country due to too many cases of COVID-19 imported from India, Reuters reported.

The new rule will come into effect on April 11 and will last until April 28. During this period, the New Zealand Government will explore risk management measures aimed at resuming travel and draft relevant laws and regulations to reduce the risk of overseas imports. It is understood that on the 8th alone, of the 23 newly reported imported confirmed cases of COVID-19 in New Zealand, 17 were from India.

The hospitalization rate of COVID-19, a young group in Brazil, hit a record high.

According to a recent survey released by the country's intensive care association, COVID-19, a group of young patients under the age of 40 in Brazil, occupied 52.2% of beds in intensive care units in March, local media reported on April 10.

This is also the first time since the outbreak of the epidemic in the country that the proportion of the above-mentioned age groups in COVID-19 's critically ill hospitalized patients exceeded 50%, reaching an absolute majority. The data also showed that in January, the proportion of COVID-19 patients in intensive care units who needed intubation treatment and had no complications reached 58.1%, the highest since the outbreak.
