What is Bubonic Plague?


RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





A suspected case of bubonic plague has been reported to Chinese authorities.

It is not known how the patient became infected, but the country is on alert for more cases.

Plague is one of the deadliest diseases in human history - but it can now be easily treated with antibiotics.

What is bubonic plague?
Plague is a potentially lethal infectious disease that is caused by bacteria called Yersinia pestis that live in some animals - mainly rodents - and their fleas.

Bubonic plague is the most common form of the disease that people can get. The name comes from the symptoms it causes - painful, swollen lymph nodes or 'buboes' in the groin or armpit.

From 2010 to 2015 there were 3,248 cases reported worldwide, including 584 deaths.

Historically, it has also been called the Black Death, in reference to the gangrenous blackening and death of body parts, such as the fingers and toes, that can happen with the illness.

What does it do?
A person usually becomes ill with bubonic plague between two and six days after being infected.

Along with the tender, enlarged lymph nodes, that can be as large as a chicken egg, other symptoms include fever, chills, headache, muscle aches and tiredness.

Plague can also affect the lungs, causing a cough, chest pain and difficulty breathing.

The bacteria can also enter the bloodstream and cause a condition called septicaemia or sepsis, which can lead to tissue damage, organ failure and death.

Nick Cordero: Broadway Star Dies Aged 41 of Coronavirus Complications


RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





The Tony award-nominated Broadway actor Nick Cordero, who starred in hit musicals including Waitress, A Bronx Tale and Bullets Over Broadway, has died in Los Angeles from severe medical complications after contracting coronavirus. He was 41.

Cordero died on Sunday at Cedars-Sinai hospital after spending more than 90 days in the hospital, according to his wife, Amanda Kloots. “God has another angel in heaven now,” she posted on Instagram. “Nick was such a bright light. He was everyone’s friend, loved to listen, help and especially talk. He was an incredible actor and musician. He loved his family and loved being a father and husband.”

Cordero entered the emergency room on 30 March and had a succession of health setbacks including mini-strokes, blood clots, sepsis infections, a tracheostomy and a temporary pacemaker implant. He had been on a ventilator and unconscious and had his right leg amputated. A double lung transplant was being explored.

Kloots sent him daily videos of her and their one-year-old son, Elvis, and urged friends and fans to join a daily sing-a-long. She has said it was difficult to tell whether Cordero understood what was happening, but when he was alert he could respond by looking up and down. A GoFundMe page to pay for medical expenses has raised over $600,000.

The industry has paid tribute to Cordero, with many urging people to donate. Cordero was very close to the actor Zach Braff. “I can honestly tell you I have never met a kinder human being,” Braff wrote on Twitter and Instagram. “Don’t believe that covid only claims the elderly and infirm.”

Prince Andrew Under Pressure After Arrest of Ghislaine Maxwell


RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





Pressure on Prince Andrew to speak to FBI investigators was mounting after his friend Ghislaine Maxwell was arrested on charges of sex trafficking and perjury as part of its ongoing inquiry into the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

At a press conference in New York in which prosecutors detailed the allegations facing Maxwell, they urged the Prince to come forward.

“We would welcome Prince Andrew coming in to talk with us, we would like to have the benefit of his statement,” said Audrey Strauss, acting US attorney for the southern district of New York.

“I have no further comment beyond what I just said, which is that our doors remain open, as we previously said, and we would welcome him coming in and giving us an opportunity to hear his statement.”

A source close to the prince’s working group said that his lawyers have twice communicated with the US Department of Justice (DOJ) in the past month. “The duke’s team remains bewildered given that we have twice communicated with the DOJ in the last month and to date we have had no response,” the source said.

Strauss’s remarks came following the arrest of Maxwell, the British socialite and close friend of the convicted sex offender Epstein was seized at a luxury hideaway in a small town in New Hampshire early on Thursday.

The prince has made no secret of his longstanding friendship with Maxwell, or that she introduced him to Epstein, who killed himself in his jail cell last August facing charges of sex trafficking minors, which he denied.

Bernie Ecclestone is a Dad Again - 65 Years After His First Child Was Born


RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





Bernie Ecclestone has become a dad again at the age of 89 - after his wife gave birth to the billionaire's first son.

The former Formula One boss told Blick magazine: "We have a son named Ace. I am so proud."

And his wife Fabiana Flosi, 44, told the Swiss newspaper it was "all so easy", adding: "The birth was over after 25 minutes. I thank god."

Ecclestone already has three daughters with his previous partners.

His eldest, Deborah, 65, was born to his first wife Ivy Bamford before he had socialites Tamara, 35, and Petra, 31, with his second wife Slavica Radic.

Ecclestone announced the pregnancy back in April and told the PA news agency: "I don't see there's any difference between being 89 and 29.

"You've got the same problems I suppose. It's alright."

Asked what kind of father he was going to be to his first son, he said: "We don't know, probably better than before, probably a bit more relaxed!"

Gay Rights Activist Marsha P Johnson is Being Honoured With a Google Doodle - Who Was She?


RAHUL SHARMA DEBT CONNECT IN MANCHESTER, UK,





A new Google Doodle honours the life of Marsha P. Johnson, a gay rights activist and self-identified drag queen who became one of the prominent figures in the Stonewall uprising.

Here's everything you need to know:

Who was Marsha P. Johnson?

Born Malcolm Michaels Jr. on 24 August 1945, Johnson moved to New York City’s Greenwich Village after graduating high school in 1963.

It was there – amongst a burgeoning cultural hub for LGBTQ+ people – she legally changed her name to Marsha P. Johnson.

It’s said her middle initial of ’P’ stood for “Pay It No Mind” – her response to those who questioned her gender.

Johnson was a beloved fixture in the LGBTQ+ community of New York and beyond, and was colloquially known as the "mayor of Christopher Street", on which the Stonewall Inn was located.

As a result of the Stonewall campaign – of which Johnson is credited as one of the key leaders – the street became the centre of New York State's gay rights movement, and to this day serves as an international symbol of gay pride.
