[Goanet] The 2020 US Population Report
Quite a few interesting observations in the latest once a decade US population survey, some of which we knew but some we didn’t. 1. The whites are now less than half the population. 2. They are still the single prevailing race but not in California, the most dense US State. 3. The Asians and Latinos are growing 4 times faster than the national average. 4. The mixed identity population is now more than a tenth of the total people. 5. Blacks are outnumbered as the single biggest minority race. 6. The country has a very low young population. From the Associated Press: “By comparison, the non-Hispanic growth rate over the decade was 4.3%. The Hispanic share of the U.S. population grew to 18.7% of the U.S. population, up from 16.3% in 2010. The 2020 Census confirmed what we have known for years — the future of the country is Latino,” said Arturo Vargas, CEO of the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund.” https://apnews.com/article/race--ethnicity-census-2020-7264a653037e38df7ba67d3a324fc90d Roland.

CORRECTED IN RED BELOW. PLEASE OMIT THE EARLIER LETTER.john menezes To:goanet@lists.goanet.orgBcc:Vinod Waghela,Fri, 13 Aug at 10:28 amI refer to Item 3 of Mr. Adolfo Mascarenhas, Vol.16, Issue 421Three Bridges over the Mandovi when One would be enough.In October 1960 the Overseas Ministry, Portugal, invited international bids for three bridges over the Rivers Mandovi and Zuari in Goa, and River Sandalcalo in Daman.Portuguese engineers had come to the conclusion that all three rivers were highly treacherous during the monsoons and bridges on piles would not stand the pressures so the bids were for suspension bridges, one over each river. Unfortunately the orders were delayed especially as the Goan company responsible for collecting the toll could not be decided upon before the conquest and subjugation of Goa on December 20, 1961.Suspension bridges would add to the riverscaping.It is not known whether the choice of design of the first bridge on piles over River Mandovi by the Indian authorities was done to suit the choice of the contractor but the bridge collapsed in 1987.The first bridge over River Zuari has had to be shut down for repairs from time to time.Now that relations with Portugal are normalized the Government of Goa would do well to consult Portuguese engineers, at their price, as Portugal possesses some of the most appealing and durable bridges in the world today.John Menezes, Mumbai.

Our Supreme Court some years ago had very rightly observed that governance would not have faced a chaotic situation had the bureaucracy not allowed itself - the "steel frame" of the state - to be rusted. In Goa this steel frame has rusted beyond recognition. We lack a neutral bureaucracy. What we are seeing is an utterly rusted frame, which has been mangled and twisted while it?s very backbone languishing in administrative impotence. Adv.

[Goanet] Here Comes the Third Wave (Dhaka Tribune, 13/8/2021)
https://www.dhakatribune.com/opinion/op-ed/2021/08/13/op-ed-here-comes-the-third-wave Red flags are popping up all over India to indicate that Covid-19 is about to roar back to wreak its devastation all over again. Epidemiologists refer to the average number of people who get infected from each patient as the “R” value. It’s not the best way to make pandemic policy, but relatively easy to understand, because, when it goes above one, the disease is understood to be spreading. This week, eight states in India shot above that ominous benchmark. Within that broader picture, there are even more worrying signs. For just one example, earlier this week, Kerala (which is one state where the numbers are always reliable) announced it has tallied over 40,000 “breakthrough” cases. This accounts for victims who have become infected despite being fully vaccinated, or having already contracted and recovered from the coronavirus previously. It’s very early yet, but this could be a potential warning sign that there’s yet another deadly, and elusive Covid 19 variant on the loose. Earlier this year, the emergence of what’s now known as “the Delta variant” hammered the country right to breaking point. At that time, the columnist Mihir Sharma wrote in Bloomberg “as is typical in India, official arrogance, hyper-nationalism, populism and an ample dose of bureaucratic incompetence have combined to create a crisis.” Fast forward some months, and the situation is unchanged. None of those factors have been relieved, and nothing seems to have been learned. One additional factor that Sharma did not mention is actually integral to the emergency that is on our hands now. That is denial and obfuscation. The administrative frameworks in both the individual states and the Centre are blatantly fudging the numbers, and relying on the public to forget what it endured. Thus, at the height of the catastrophe in my home state of Goa in May, the High Court was moved to apologize for what was happening despite its interventions. “We are very sorry. We failed collectively. We owe an apology to all the people. Last night 20 died (for want of oxygen) in the Goa Medical College and Hospital” said Justice Sonak. But barely two months later, the Health Minister officially recorded in the State Assembly that “at no point in time did the oxygen supplies at GMC run out of stock, and thus no death has been reported to have (been) caused due to the non-supply of oxygen.” This kind of doublespeak on my literal doorstep in India’s smallest state has played out with unimaginable destructiveness all across the country. That is why, according to New Delhi, there have been slightly less than 430,000 deaths registered due to Covid-19 since the pandemic began, but the latest national survey from YouGuv-Mint-CPR Millennial says the number of casualties is closer to an astonishing 14 million. Due to the fact that official statistics are being grossly manipulated in plain sight, these surveyors chose the innovative technique of directly asking over 10,000 city dwellers in 203 towns and cities about their pandemic experience, and whether they had lost a friend or family member due to Covid-19. The results are staggering, and disgraceful. They depict the statistical landscape of abject state failure. 17% of the respondents told YouGuv-Mint-CPR Millennial that a family member died due to Covid 19, and 60% suffered the loss of a friend. 46% reported someone connected to them had perished due to the lack of oxygen or the right medicines, and full 60% said that they – or a relative, or neighbour – faced problems getting access to a hospital bed or oxygen cylinder. Will things be better this time around? We are on the verge of finding out, but what we already know from the experiences of many other countries is that there are only two factors that can stem the losses: vaccines and good masks along with social distancing. What happens with these successive waves of infection is that they sweep very fast – up to now the Delta variant has been most infectious – through the sections of the population that have not yet been fully vaccinated. That is over a billion Indians, because, currently, only just over 7% of the country has had both doses. Even if the government manages to double its pace of vaccination, it still leaves over 41% of the population vulnerable. There is no vaccine approved for anyone under 18 in India, and none is on the cards either. This means that alongside the threat of the “third wave” is the certainty that hundreds of millions of children and teenagers won’t go to school and resume anything like normal life for at least another year, perhaps two. It is certainly difficult to face such unremittingly bad news, as we stagger through one of the most godawful years in the memory of collective humanity. Unfortunately, there is no silver lining.
[Goanet] Enter P.C Chidambsram
ENTER P.C.CHIDAMBARAM The Congress in Goa with its current band of self seekers has oulived its presence.No two Congress stalwarts see eye to eye .With many former CM and new aspirants waiting in the wings, the battle for supremacy is anybodys guess It is shocking and surprising that 10 Congressmen have made Honeymoon with BJP. Where are the voters concerns on the chess board of politics of selfishness and personal ambitions Follow the treachorous .leader like Pide Piper and get drowned. Just when enthusiasm was building up the Congress has thrown spanner to disrupt popular ,rejuvenated mood.How the ex MLA of Velim constiuency with doubtful antecedents found favour with leaders without taking the voters into confidence and secretively? .Is it young blood transfused , fortified with vitamins?.The statement that anyone is free to join Congress ,an open invitation to defectors with open arms and what discretion will be used to deny them? It is a sure recipe for disasters by dividing votes with BJP block remaining intact to tilt the scale and damage Congress for sure The disatisfaction will be fuelled to the hilt for an advantage There is disgruntlement about the President of local outfit.His resignation is kept in hibernation and he continues as an interim with guns blazing ,baying for his outster.Pratima who had been nursed, promoted all along, suddenly quit Congress without notice and embraced AAP without bating an eyelid Where are the loyalties, principles , allegiance of individuals towards the party. Now comes another bloomer with Elvis being inducted at the fag end to create confusion among ranks and file . Do we remember that he spoiled the prospects of Congress win? There was already a favourable alternative working adously, cultivating support.Is the entry of Elvis is a sort of counter weight to Pratima? How does Congress put its weight with habitual, unprincipled candidates who are at best self seekers? The seniority and standing of Chidambaram will calm the storm of open defiance and bring order and discipline in the party to work cohesively as a united force.The seniority, experience of new President will surely act as a deterent of so called tall local minions , who behave as owners of Congress..Father and son due is spy who came from cold diverging Congress strategies to the opponents The winability factor and old fags will once again weigh heavily with authority and old wine in new bottle will once emerge as solution The bright prospects of Velim , Cuncolim are far receeding on the horizon.Entry of candidates with doubtful track record of integrity will not enhance the image of Congress.Entry of P.C at this crucial juncture inspires hopes and assurance to voters that better sense may prevail and voters cannot be taken for granted on the board rooms of political decisions >From past experience ,it is lull before the storn and potential plans after winning elections with fresh permutations and combinations will surface ostensibly for development of self mantra How will PC prevent the post malaise , the bane of Congress in Goa,as obedience last till results of elections Nelson Lopes Chinchinim 9850836276
