Laura Kelly said Thursday that inmates will be vaccinated after health care workers and residents of long-term care facilities. The governor warned Friday that initially, the supply of vaccines available to people other than health care workers and nursing home patients will be very limited. The announcement came as many local officials argued it was time to distribute the vaccine beyond health care workers. The governor’s plan came as the state’s new COVID-19 cases continue to rise and ICU beds are nearly full. Shots also are still being given to health care workers, first responders and staff and residents at nursing homes and other long-term care facilities.

One company's quest for an antibody drug to fight COVID-19

Read full article: One company's quest for an antibody drug to fight COVID-19

(Regeneron via AP)On a Saturday afternoon in March as COVID-19 was bearing down on New York City, a dozen scientists anxiously crowded around a computer in a suburban drug company’s lab. This was the start of a drug that would, eventually, go into the arms of a U.S. president and others fighting off COVID-19. Unlike chemicals that are simply mixed in a lab, antibodies are coaxed from living cells. Regeneron’s two-antibody drug is unique: One came from a COVID-19 survivor in Singapore and the other from the company’s genetically modified mice. Blood from the mice and patients contains B cells, and each makes a specific antibody that’s carried on its surface.

The apparent attack on the oil tanker marks the fourth assault targeting Saudi energy infrastructure in a month. The attack on the Singapore-flagged BW Rhine, which had been contracted by the trading arm of the kingdom's massive Saudi Arabian Oil Co., marks the fourth assault targeting Saudi energy infrastructure in a month. The explosion comes after a mine exploded and damaged a ship off Saudi Arabia last month. Saudi Arabia recently accused the Houthis of dumping mines into the southern Red Sea, which could be carried toward Jiddah. A stepped-up campaign of drone-boat attacks deeper into the Red Sea likely would do the same.

Read full article: Asian stocks rise ahead of US economic data amid virus fears

BEIJING – Asian stocks rose Monday as investors looked ahead to quarterly U.S. economic data amid unease about anti-coronavirus curbs on business and wrangling over the American presidential election. Investors looked ahead to third-quarter U.S. economic growth data due out Wednesday after Wall Street’s benchmark S&P 500 index ended last week down as rising infection numbers collided with optimism about a possible vaccine. He noted U.S. economic data are “beginning to wobble a bit.”The Shanghai Composite Index rose 0.6% to 3,397.32 while the Hang Seng in Hong Kong lost 0.2% to 26,388.89. Those hopes have been tempered by the reality of the weeks or months required to test, produce and distribute a possible vaccine even if it is successful. Also Monday, Singapore revised up its third-quarter economic growth to a contraction of 5.8% over a year earlier, an improvement from the previous estimate of a 7% drop.

Members of the volunteer group conduct weekend door-to-door visits to deliver goods or provide services to people in need. Singapore's partial lockdown as the coronavirus was spreading in April left her fretting over how the blind, bedridden and elderly living alone would cope. Her core team of volunteers met urgent needs — plumbers, handymen and people who could dispense medicine or tap on government resources. The informal network she founded, Keeping Hope Alive, has toiled tirelessly for over two decades to reach Singapore’s less fortunate in different neighborhoods. Once the residents' most-pressing needs were identified, the volunteers acted immediately — installing bicycle bells on wheelchairs, trimming nails, cleaning bed bug-infested homes, and checking if household items need replacement.

ISLAMABAD Pakistan has threatened China's TikTok and blocked the Singapore-based Bigo Live streaming platform, citing what the regulating authority called widespread complaints about immoral, obscene and vulgar content on the apps. The move was promptly decried by Pakistani rights activists who saw it as a potential precursor to an even greater censorship in this conservative Muslim nation. In a statement, the Pakistan Telecommunications Authority said the content on the two platforms could have extremely negative effects on the society in general and youth in particular, without elaborating. TikTok has especially grown in popularity among the country's young, which make up nearly 70% of the 220 million population, Ahmad said.

FILE - In this June 12, 2018, file photo, U.S. President Donald Trump, right, meets with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un on Sentosa Island, in Singapore. On the two-year anniversary of the leaders first summit, North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Son Gwon said the North would never again gift Trump with high-profile meetings and concessions he could boast as foreign policy achievements unless it gets something substantial in return. But negotiations faltered after the United States rejected North Korean demands for broad sanctions relief in exchange for a partial surrender of the Norths nuclear capabilities at Kims second summit with Trump in Vietnam in February 2019. The North in recent months conducted short-range missile tests while also dialing up pressure on South Korea. North Korea has suspended virtually all cooperation with South Korea in recent months while pressuring Seoul to defy U.S.-led international sanctions and restart inter-Korean economic projects that would breathe life into the Norths struggling economy.

Singapore sentences drug suspect to death at Zoom hearing

Read full article: Singapore sentences drug suspect to death at Zoom hearing

KUALA LUMPUR Singapore sentenced a drug suspect to death at a court hearing held on the videoconferencing app Zoom because of the city-state's coronavirus lockdown, in a decision slammed by a human rights group as callous and inhumane. The Singapore court ruled that Genasan, 37, was involved in drug trafficking in October 2011. Singapore applies the death penalty to a range of offenses including drug trafficking, murder, kidnapping, waging war against the government and use of firearms. Human Rights Watch said the death penalty is already cruel and inhumane, and the use of Zoom to announce it made it worse. Its death penalty adviser, Chiara Sangiorgio, said Singapore is only one of four countries that currently execute people for drug offenses.

CNNNEW YORK - Five big economies are at risk of recession. "The common feature is the weak global backdrop," said Neil Shearing, group chief economist at Capital Economics.
