Health Experts Say Loss Of Smell Is A More Reliable Indicator Of COVID19 Infection Among People

A study has shown that loss of smell might be a more obvious sign of COVID infection than cough. This study has been done by the scientists of the University College London (UCL). They have conducted a test on 590 people who have lost their sense of smell. Around 80 percent of these patients have been found to have antibodies for coronavirus. Nearly 40 percent of patients who have antibodies have no other symptoms. However, this study has been conducted on patients who have mild symptoms only. There are many shreds of evidence, which show that loss of smell and taste can be the sign of COVID19 infection. It has started to emerge in April 2020. The officials have included it in the list of coronavirus symptoms in mid-May 2020.

The official guidelines of COVID19 say that people who experience loss of smell or taste need to self isolate themselves and apply for a test. Health officials as well have advised people saying that if anybody is feeling a loss of smell or taste they need to self-quarantine themselves. The lead author of the UCL study has said that cough and fever are still crucial symptoms, which are experienced by many people. Experts have recruited people by sending texts via four GP surgeries in London and enrolled those people who have reported experiencing loss of smell and taste in the past four weeks.

All the participants of the study have tested positive for antibodies. The study has suggested that some of the participants have a past COVID19 infection as well. However, some of the experts say that there might be a certain constraint to this study as it has included only those people who have mild symptoms. They have said such participants cannot be the representatives of all COVID19 patients. However, the findings of the UCL study have importance for people who are feeling a change in their sense of smell or self-isolating people, who are not able to smell like everyday things like perfume, bleach, toothpaste, or coffee. The study says that not all the COVID19 patients will lose their sense of taste or smell but if they do, it is more likely to be due to COVID19 infection. The author of the study has said that people need to look out for a loss of smell without having a blocked or running nose.

Macy’s To Close 125 Department Stores Over The Next 3 Years, Slash 2,000 Corporate Jobs

Amid the slump in sales, Macy’s has announced that it will close around 125 department stores over the next three years. The move is likely to impact about 2,000 workers or 10 per cent of its corporate staff. Macy’s has already shut its Cincinnati headquarters and offices in San Francisco. The cost-cutting is expected to help Macy’s save USD 1.5 billion by the end of next year. The stores which are being closed are in the malls that are witnessing low foot traffic. The decision is expected to impact the one-fifth of the company’s total stores. The development comes even as Macy’s has closed more than 100 departmental stores since 2015. “We are looking for significant structural change and will divert our resources towards healthy parts of the business,” CEO Jeff Gennette said in a statement. 

“Structural change will bring our team closer and minimize duplication of work. These changes are deep and will impact every quarter of the business, but it was necessary to address the unhealthy parts of the business. We will come out stronger, better fit and more agile to compete in the present retail environment,” the statement reads. The announcement has been made after years of struggles, especially because of the growth of low-price clothing chains and the rise of online services likes Amazon. Macy’s rivals like Forever 21 and Sears have faced similar challenges and have been forced into bankruptcy. 

To avoid the fate of Sears, Macy’s has outlined a new plan to become sustainable and profitable. It is likely to reveal its multilayer plan during a meeting with investors in New York. The departmental store brand is planning to expand its loyalty program and build up to four private-label brands. It will also test the ‘Market by Macy’s’ store concept. These stores will be smaller than its typical stores and located away from malls. Apart from having curated merchandise selection, the store will also serve local food and drink.

Contemporary Amperex Technology of China to deliver Lithium-ion batteries to Tesla

Contemporary Amperex Technology (CATL) of China has signed an agreement with Tesla. As per the agreement, CATL will supply lithium-ion power batteries to the US electric car maker for two years.

There is no binding clause in the supply agreement and Tesla will be free to purchase batteries depending on its orders. Tesla is expected to use these lithium batteries in its Chinese Gigafactory in Shanghai. 

Tesla has started delivering Model 3 electronic vehicles from the Shanghai factory. This is the first factory of Tesla outside the United States. The delivery of vehicles started within a year after the company started building its factory. The first cars were delivered to 15 employees of the company as part of a ceremony. Tesla had previously stated that it would start delivering cars before the Lunar New Year which falls on January 25. The Shanghai factor will help Tesla to gain a foothold in China and deliveries ahead of schedule marks an important milestone. China is the world’s largest market for electric vehicles and the Shanghai factory will help Tesla to speed up deliveries.

This is the first wholly foreign-owned car plant in China. 

Reports about the deal between CATL and Tesla have been doing for quite some time. It is crucial because the development comes after Panasonic decline to make batteries for Tesla in China.

The EV battery manufacturers started building a 30 GWh/year power battery plant in Yibin city of China in December 2019. It is planning rapid capacity growth and aiming to add over 140 GWh/year in the next two years. This will increase its global EV battery production by 163 per cent.

Notably, up to 425 travelers can board on the plane that covers 7,600 nautical miles. If the check ride goes well, Boeing will legitimately file for permission from the FAA (Federal Aviation Administration).

The Complete Merger of Viacom and CBS after A Long Wait

The merging of Viacom and CBS Corp. is excellent news, and it has created a content powerhouse of sorts. The merged name will henceforth be known as ViacomCBS, and this is the amalgamation of two different halves of the Redstone family media business.

Then the company’s shares, which are combined now, will commence starting trading on Thursday, 5th December, on the NASDAQ index. The ticker symbols, which will be used, are VIACA and VIAC. While the latter ticker symbol is for common shares of the company, the former logo is for preferred and selected shares, the holders of which are mainly the Redstones.

With this merging, Paramount Pictures of Viacom, along with other cable channels like Nickelodeon, MTV, BET, Comedy Central, will come together as one with the CBD broadcast network, including 28 O&O TV stations, Showtime, Simon & Schuster and CBS All Access. Post-merger, the company will be headed by Bob Bakish, who is serving as the CEO of Viacom. It is estimated that the company will be able to draw about $28 billion as annual revenue.

Frank Pallone, D-N.J., chairman of the House Energy and Commerce Committee said that the current trump administration might not force the pledge and T-Mobile may get a green signal to increase the prices.

Democratic Rep. Frank Pallone asked how the government is so sure that the T-Mobile will not increase the price and harm the users that can’t afford the cost, in the House subcommittee hearing today. Currently, T-Mobile and Spring are counted as the third and fourth biggest telecommunication companies in the United States. Their merger has gotten up to the value of $26.5B and could challenge the industry leaders like Verizon and AT&T. in the United States, Congress does not have any ruling on this merger, but the congress members can ask some tricky questions about this merger in the forum. That’s why the Democrats have asked for the merger-Review after eight years.

Executive Chairman of Spirit Corp. and T-Mobile CEO defended the merger and said that the customers of both the companies would get more benefits of this merger. T-Mobile was the first company to take drastic consumer-friendly steps. They were the first to abolish the two-year contract system and brought back unlimited data plans for cellular users.  The Democratic lawmakers said that the merger would remove the competition and T-Mobile might remove those benefits and the consumers will have to pay more for using cellular services from these two companies.
