Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro said on Thursday that people needed to "stop whining" about COVID-19 in his latest outburst against the protective measures to contain the crisis. The far-right leader's comments come as Brazil goes through its deadliest week of the coronavirus pandemic, with more than 1,300 deaths per day. "Stop whining. How long are you going to keep crying about it?" Bolsonaro said as he called for easing restrictions. "We regret the deaths ... But where's Brazil going to end up if we just close everything?" The South American country of 212 million people has had an outbreak of cases, partly due to a variant of the virus detected in the Amazon rainforest. Bolsonaro previously compared COVID-19 to a "little flu" and promoted hydroxychloroquine as medication, despite studies showing its inefficiency against the virus. At least 260,000 people died in Brazil because of COVID-19. Watch video 03:04 Share Virus runs rampant … [Read more...] about Coronavirus digest: Brazil’s Bolsonaro tells people ‘stop whining’

The women's activist Maria Makrami has been forced into hiding, seeking refuge in a safe house. She is the director of the Afghan Women Network (AWN), a nongovernmental organization that has fought for years to empower women and ensure their equal place in Afghan society. "I know I'm on the death list," she said in an interview with DW. The well-connected activist has received several threatening emails and messages in recent months. "Our situation is frightening. Many women in our networks no longer leave their homes and are completely demoralized. After what happened yesterday in Jalalabad, I’m also completely devastated." On March 2, three women were murdered : Mursal Wahidi, Sadia Sadat and Shahnaz Roafi. They worked as announcers for Enikass, a private television station in the city of Jalalabad.

Tesla's quarterly report could trigger a $7 billion options payout to Chief Executive Elon Musk , while owners of the electric car maker's soaring stock are keen to hear the company's target for 2021 deliveries. Tesla posts its December quarter results following a nearly 700% surge in its stock over the past 12 months that has made it the fifth-most-valuable publicly traded U.S. company, eclipsing Facebook. Despite production that is a fraction of that of Toyota Motor Corp , Volkswagen or General Motors , Tesla has become by far the world's most valuable car maker, with a market capitalization of $843 billion, compared with Toyota's $236 billion. Its shares are trading at over 200 times the average analyst earnings forecast for the next year, according to Refinitiv, underpinning skeptics' arguments that Tesla's stock has become highly overvalued. After Tesla delivered just shy of a Musk-promised 500,000 electric vehicles last year, investors are focused on the Silicon … [Read more...] about Tesla’s quarterly report could trigger $7 billion payout to Elon Musk

Think Downtown East and its central Wild Wild Wet attraction would most certainly come to mind. After a five-year facelift of the entire resort that was completed in late 2018, the water park has doubled in size, boasting four hectares and seven new rides. There's also more reason to go, since one can utilise your SingapoRediscovers vouchers for this attraction. More than just a water park For those of us who haven't been there in ages, Downtown East is not just about the water theme park.

And with travelling not an option now (and neither is that road trip to JB), how is one expected to keep our children entertained during the upcoming March school holidays? Here's why we think Downtown East checks most boxes on our list to spend an excellent day out with your family. You may be surprised by what you can find as well. … [Read more...] about 3 unexpected things to do in Downtown East and other activities that will entertain you all year round
