    • SECTION 1 - TEN NEWS HEADLINES
    1. Research/Study – Lockdown has hit routine health services severely – There have been innumerable stories of the suffering of non-Covid patients across the country during the lockdown and after, and official data is now available to show the extent to which routine health services were unavailable and the scale of its impact. The number of fully immunized children fell by over 15 lakh in the three-month period from April to June compared to the same months last year. The number of institutional deliveries fell by 13 lakh. The registered number of TB patients undergoing treatment fell to almost half of what it was last year. People seeking cancer treatment as outpatients fell by over 70%. Hard-won progress on several national health goals has suffered a jolt.
    2. COVID-19 – India becomes first country to record over 80,000 cases in a day – India added a record 80,092 fresh Covid cases on August 30, becoming the first country to cross the 80,000-mark, even as the week ending August 30 turned out to be the worst till now. The growth rate of cases and fatalities more than doubled compared to the preceding week. The highest peak of 80,000-plus cases comes on August 30, when the number of fresh infections have usually been lower than other days of the week because of a lull in testing during the weekends. The highest peak of fresh cases on a Sunday was last recorded on August 9 with 63,851fresh cases. With over 76,000 fresh cases being registered daily for five consecutive days, the growth rate this week (13.1%) was almost three times the 4.7% growth registered the previous week. This was 5.9% in the preceding week and 10.9% during August 3-9 week.
    3. Economy – Asean agrees to review trade pact with India – After months of inaction and the government’s threat to pull out of the Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) with Asean, members of the trading block have agreed to review the trade pact amid concerns that China is using the treaty to ship goods to India, which is unable to take full advantage of the 10-year-old arrangement. Chief among them is the inability of Indian exporters to get a level-playing field. Indonesia had lowered duties on only 50% of the items, while close to 75% of its products were getting customs duty benefit in India. A similar problem persisted with some of the other Asean members, although those such as Indonesia are not classified as least-developed countries.
    4. Environment & Ecology – 14 lakh affected, 17 killed in Odisha floods – Over 14 lakh people were affected due to floods in five river systems of Odisha. Seventeen people lost their lives in a wall collapse and by slipping into swollen rivers. According to the office of Special Relief Commissioner, 2.65 lakh people were marooned by vast sheets of water in 340 villages and 57,824 people were being served cooked food after their evacuation from water-logged houses. Heavy rain triggered by back-to-back low pressure area over the Bay of Bengal had caused flooding in 20 districts. The floods also caused massive damage to infrastructure. In 11 districts, 107 roads were cut off by the swirling water and 32 breaches on river embankments were detected in five districts. Preliminary assessment of floods suggests 10,382 houses and 1.68 lakh hectare of crop land were affected.
    5. COVID-19 – COVID-19 cases cross 25 million mark – Global COVID-19 infections soared past 25 million on Sunday (August 30), as countries around the world further tightened restrictions to try to stop the rampaging pandemic. A million additional cases have been detected globally roughly every four days since mid-July. Even nations such as New Zealand and South Korea, which had previously brought their outbreaks largely under control, are now battling new clusters of infections. On the other side of the world, Latin America — the worst-hit region — is still struggling with its first wave, with COVID-19 deaths in Brazil crossing 1,20,000, second only to the US.
    6. World – Singapore to offer free tests to taxi drivers, hawkers – Singapore will offer free COVID-19 tests to community groups such as taxi drivers, food delivery workers and hawkers as part of efforts to expand the COVID-19 testing regime. The costs of the tests will be fully borne by the government. The authorities will reach out to the groups progressively. The Ministry on August 30 reported 54 new COVID-19 cases. To date, Singapore has 56,771 confirmed COVID-19 cases. With 110 more patients discharged from hospitals, 55,447 have fully recovered from the infection.
    7. Science & Technology – Flying cars dream closer to reality: Japanese car flies with human inside – There are plenty of flying car projects that are in motion around the world but it still seems like a distant dream for human civilization. However, we might be a step closer to actually execute the dream. A Japanese company has finally built a car that not only managed to take off but did so with a human sitting inside. Japan's SkyDrive Inc. has carried out a successful though modest test flight with a person sitting in the cabin of the car. The aircraft has one seat and operates with eight motors and two propellers on each corner. It lifted about 10 feet into the air and was operated by a pilot. Analysts have said they expect urban air taxis to be common by 2040, with the global market projected to be $1.4 trillion to $2.9 trillion by then.
    8. Constitution & Law – SC ready for physical hearing, but lawyers in under 1% cases agree – Deferring to repeated demands of bar association leaders, the SC had planned to start limited physical hearing of cases on a trial basis from this week, but the move appears to have fizzled out as only 0.8% of advocates agreed to appear in person to argue cases. The court registry displayed a list of 517 regular cases and 170 miscellaneous petitions and sought consent from counsel engaged by litigants for physical hearing. Only in six of the total 687 cases, lawyers from both sides have given their consent to physical hearing. The court has been adjudicating cases through video-conferencing.
    9. COVID-19 – India sees record 10.6L tests in a day, total crosses 4cr – India scaled another high by testing over 10.5 lakh samples in a day to detect Covid-19, taking the total tests conducted till August 29 to over 4.1 crore. The exponential jump in testing capacity and the number of tests have resulted in an upsurge in tests per million to 30,044. Due to increased testing, the positivity rate has remained at 8.5%. The coronavirus death toll due to the disease climbed to 63,498, with 948 people succumbing to it on August 29.
    10. People & Personalities – First female cardiologist of India dies of Covid at 103 – India’s first female cardiologist, Dr SI Padmavati, passed away on Saturday night due to Covid-19. She was 103. Dr Padmavati developed a severe infection in both her lungs, which caused the death. The legendary cardiologist led an active and healthy life till her last few days. Until late 2015, she was working 12 hours a day, five days a week at NHI, which was founded by her in 1981. Such was her contribution that it earned her sobriquet of the ‘Godmother of Cardiology’. She went on to establish North India’s first Cardiac Catheterisation Laboratory at the Lady Hardinge Medical College in 1954.
