David Attenborough’s heartbreaking Netflix documentary drops today

Jun 4 2021

In a new documentary by world renowned coral reef scientist David Attenborough, scientists break down, on the brink of tears, the severity of the Earth’s climate crisis. Titled ‘Breaking Boundaries: The Science of our Planet’, the 75-minute documentary brings together Attenborough, scientist Professor Johan Rockstrom and a team of other scientists to investigate the effects humanity has had on its planet.

The synopsis of the documentary explains how humanity has pushed Earth beyond its boundaries, which have kept Earth stable for 10,000 years since the dawn of civilisation. The show takes the audience towards a discovery of the planet’s limits and explains how we must not exceed them – not just for the sake of the planet, but also humanity itself.

Specialist says COVID-19 mortality rate just as bad as flu season

Jun 4 2021

Family doctor and occupational health specialist Jean Karl Soler took to Facebook to express his concerns about the COVID-19 mortality rate. Soler states how he has been told by a local public health specialist that statistics should be ignored and was instead directed to ‘inform [himself] better on Public Health principles.’ He goes on to state that looking at statistical analysis is crucial for studying public health and goes on to state that, according to him, ‘COVID-19 in Malta has been just as bad as a flu season.’

Soler emphasises how he has highlighted mask-wearing in summer to control seasonal viruses and mass vaccinations to reduce mortality rate of a disease with a median mortality of 80 years of age. He asks the important questions; ‘if all the over-80s are vaccinated, why are we stilll taking precautions in summer for a seasonal virus?’ And ‘why [do] we vaccinate against influenza in October, but will wear masks and vaccinate children against COVID-19 all year round, when BOTH are seasonal virii?’

Soler concludes by heavily highlighting that the infection rate in those under 70 is 5 per 10,000. This, according to him, is something we should not forget.

Clayton Bartolo speaks out on Malta not making it on UK’s green list

Jun 4 2021

Following the news that Malta did not make it onto the UK’s green list once again, Tourism and Consumer Protection Minister Clayton Bartolo spoke out about how this will play into Malta’s plans to boost its tourism economy. He stated that the news was a big disappointment for the sector, especially when one considers that Malta is the only country in Europe to have reached herd immunity, is far ahead in its vaccination rollout and has the lowest infection rates in the EU.

The Minister however also acknowledged that this decision was not caused by Malta itself as the country did, and is still doing, everything to better its own pandemic situation. The UK has removed more countries from the green list following an increase of cases in the past few days. Despite not making it onto the UK’s green list, Malta did experience a demand in flights from other countries such as France and Germany.
