US crosses 10 million COVID-19 cases as third wave of infections surges

THE UNITED States became the first nation worldwide since the pandemic began to surpass 10 million coronavirus infections, according to a Reuters tally on Sunday, as the third wave of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) virus surges across the nation.

The grim milestone came on the same day as global coronavirus cases exceeded 50 million.

The United states has reported about a million cases in the past 10 days, the highest rate of infections since the nation reported its first novel coronavirus case in Washington state 293 days ago.

The country reported a record 131,420 COVID-19 cases on Saturday and has reported over 100,000 infections five times in the past seven days, according to a Reuters tally. The US latest reported seven-day average of 105,600 daily cases, ramped up by at least 29%, is more than the combined average for India and France, two of the worst affected countries in Asia and Europe.

More than 237,000 Americans have died of COVID-19 since the illness caused by the coronavirus first emerged in China late last year.

The daily average of reported new deaths in the United States account for one in every 11 deaths reported worldwide each day, according to a Reuters analysis.

The number of reported deaths nationwide climbed by more than 1,000 for a fifth consecutive day on Saturday, a trend last seen in mid-August, according to a Reuters tally.

Health experts say deaths tend to increase four to six weeks after a surge in infections.

US President-elect Joe Biden, who spent much of his election campaign criticizing President Donald Trump’s handling of the pandemic, pledged on Saturday to make tackling the pandemic a top priority.

Biden will announce a 12-member task force on Monday to deal with the pandemic that will be led by former surgeon general Vivek Murthy and former Food and Drug Administration commissioner David Kessler. The coronavirus task force will be charged with developing a blueprint for containing the disease once Biden takes office in January.

The Midwest remains the hardest-hit region based on the most cases per capita with North Dakota, South Dakota, Wisconsin, Iowa and Nebraska the top five worst-affected US states.

Illinois emerged as the new epicenter in the Midwest, with the state reporting over 60,000 COVID-19 infections in the last seven days, the highest in the country, according to Reuters data. The state reported more than 12,454 new cases on Saturday, the highest single-day number so far.

Texas, which accounts for 10% of total US cases, is the hardest-hit state and became the first to surpass a million coronavirus cases in the United States on Saturday.

According to a Reuters analysis, the South region comprises nearly 43% of all the cases in the United States since the pandemic began, with nearly 4.3 million cases in the region alone, followed by the Midwest, West and Northeast.

New York, with over 33,000 fatalities, remains the state with highest number of deaths and accounts for about 14% of total US deaths.

The United States performed about 10.5 million coronavirus tests in the first seven days of November, of which 6.22% came back positive, compared with 6.17% the prior seven-days, according to data from The COVID Tracking Project, a volunteer-run effort to track the outbreak. — Reuters

Sydney restricts New Year’s Eve fireworks to limit coronavirus spread

SYDNEY — New Year’s Eve fireworks over Sydney Harbour will go ahead this year but will be shortened to just a few minutes and the city precinct will be restricted to those with restaurant, cafe and hotel bookings in order to limit the spread of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19).

Prime harborside spots, normally coveted by thousands of revellers to watch the traditional 12-minute pyrotechnic display, will be set aside for health workers who have been treating COVID-19 patients and firefighters.

Although Australia has for weeks recorded just daily single digit new cases of COVID-19, New South Wales state Premier Gladys Berejiklian said crowd numbers will be limited for the event in areas that typically draw thousands of viewers.

“New Year’s Eve celebrations will be a symbol of hope and optimism for next year,” Ms. Berejiklian told reporters in Sydney. “But unless you have a booking in a restaurant or cafe, please do not expect to go.” Those without a booking will be unable to gain access into the city, Ms. Berejiklian said.

Australia has recorded just over 27,600 novel coronavirus infections and 907 deaths, far fewer than many other developed countries.

Victoria state — the epicenter of Australia’s COVID-19 outbreak — said it has now gone 10 days with detecting any infections. — Reuters

Medvedev wears down Zverev in Paris to claim third Masters title

PARIS — Russian Daniil Medvedev outclassed German Alexander Zverev (5-7 6-4 6-1) in the Paris final on Sunday to claim his third Masters title.

The third seed, who also defeated Zverev in the Shanghai final last year, returned strongly throughout the match to take his first title of the year.

Medvedev, 24, had more energy in the deciding set and made the most of his opportunities against an inconsistent Zverev, who had won five of their six previous meetings.

A double fault earned the Russian his eighth ATP title after two hours and seven minutes.

Medvedev said he pulled off the win by making his “opponent crazy”.

Both players had a high first serve percentage early on, holding comfortably. Zverev went 40-0 up on the Russian’s serve at 6-5 to earn the first break points of the match.

Medvedev saved the first two by dictating the rallies, but he whacked a forehand long on the third and conceded his second set of the tournament.

Zverev faced his first break points in a fiercely contested third game in the second set, which he won, but he dropped serve in the ninth game when he sent a crosscourt backhand long.

Medvedev won his service game to love to level the match and send it into a decider. He broke to love, held serve after saving four break points and broke again thanks to a booming service return as he moved 4-0 up.

With his confidence shattered, Zverev never looked capable of mounting a comeback as Medvedev added to his 2019 Shanghai and Cincinnati Masters titles.

Both players will take part in the season-ending ATP Tour Finals at the O2 in London from Nov. 15-22.

Medvedev, the fourth Russian player to win at Bercy after three-time champion Marat Safin, Nikolay Davydenko, and Karen Khachanov, said he would go into the tournament full of confidence. — Reuters

Woods bids to repeat Augusta glory after disappointing run

TIGER Woods will hope familiarity helps him recapture his form at Augusta National this week as the 15-time major winner aims to repeat the magic of his stunning Masters win last year.

Overcoming personal and physical obstacles that at times in his career appeared insurmountable, Woods ended an 11-year major drought to claim his fifth Masters in 2019, capping one of the most remarkable comebacks in the history of professional sport.

But a recent string of lacklustre performances have rendered that success a distant memory.

Woods has failed to crack the top 30 at any event since the PGA Tour returned from its COVID-19 hiatus in June, missing the cut at the US Open in September and finishing tied 72nd in the Zozo Championship last month—a tournament he won a year ago.

“Last year, he came into the Masters doing a lot of things well. His iron play was really, really good a year ago. We haven’t seen that this year,” said compatriot Andy North, a retired twice major winner and now golf analyst for ESPN.

Woods, who won his first major at Augusta 23 years ago, knows the course’s unique tests, giving him a possible advantage over youngsters such as PGA Championship winner Collin Morikawa, 23, and 21-year-old Matthew Wolff, the US Open runner-up.

But changes to the tournament this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic — including the move from April to November and the absence of fans — could limit Wood’s expertise.

“There are a lot of guys that haven’t played there very much,” said North. “You know, I kind of thought, is this going to negate some of the history that our veteran players have and some of the course knowledge that they have versus some of the younger guys that we have seen play so well this fall?”

For Woods, the quieting of the crowd’s roar may be the hardest part to reconcile.

“The one component that is going to be just, I think, so odd for all of us who have played there and who have been there is to have no spectators,” Woods told reporters after the final round at the Zozo Championship.

“Sometimes, we’ve been on the putting green there before we tee off and you hear roars down there, 12 and 13, they reverberate all the way up to the clubhouse, and there’s going to be nothing.”

The Masters starts on Thursday. — Reuters

NFL Roundup: Steelers edge Cowboys, stay uneaten

QUARTERBACK Ben Roethlisberger led a six-play, 79-yard drive capped by an eigth-yard touchdown pass to Eric Ebron with 2:14 left Sunday as the visiting Pittsburgh Steelers eked out a 24-19 win over the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas, to remain unbeaten.

Pittsburgh, down 13 points in the first half and 10 points entering the fourth quarter, is 8-0 for the first time in franchise history. Roethlisberger, who tweaked his left knee late in the first half but finished, was 29 of 42 for 306 yards, and also had touchdown passes to James Washington and Juju Smith-Schuster.

For Dallas (2-7), Garrett Gilbert, in his first career start because of injuries to Andy Dalton and Dak Prescott, was 21 of 38 for 243 yards with a scoring pass to CeeDee Lamb. Greg Zuerlein kicked four field goals

The Cowboys drove 65 yards and made it 10-0 as Gilbert rolled right and hooked up with Lamb in the end zone from 20 yards. Zuerlein’s 44-yard field goal made it 13-0.

With 1:31 left in the half, Neville Gallimore hit Roethlisberger, who came up limping. But, three plays later, Roethlisberger threw 17 yards to James Washington in the back of the end zone. Chris Boswell missed the extra point, leaving it 13-6.

Roethlisberger retreated to the locker room, pressing backup Mason Rudolph into action for four plays, ending with Boswell’s franchise-record 59-yard field goal to make it 13-9 at halftime.

DOLPHINS 34, CARDINALS 31
Rookie Tua Tagovailoa — locked in a battle against fellow 23-and-under quarterback Kyler Murray — threw two touchdown passes as Miami defeated host Arizona to win their fourth straight game, its longest streak in four years.

Tagovailoa, 2-0 in National Football League (NFL) starts, completed 20-of-28 passes for 248 yards, with no turnovers. He also ran seven times for 35 yards for the Dolphins as Miami (5-3). Murray completed 21-of-26 passes for 283 yards, with one turnover (a fumble for a Miami touchdown). He also ran for a career-best 106 yards on 11 carries, but it wasn’t enough as the Cardinals (5-3) had their three-game win streak snapped.

Besides Tagovailoa, a Dolphins hero was kicker Jason Sanders, who made two field goals, including a career-best 56-yarder. His other conversion, from 50 yards, set a Dolphins record for consecutive kicks without a miss (20). That field goal, with 3:30 left in the game, was the winning score.

RAIDERS 31, CHARGERS 26
Justin Herbert’s apparent game-winning 4-yard touchdown pass to tight end Donald Parham Jr. on the final play of the game was reversed on replay and Las Vegas held on for a wild 31-26 victory over Los Angeles on Sunday afternoon at Inglewood, California.

Parham appeared to have won the game when he caught Herbert’s fade pass over defensive back Isaiah Johnson while falling out of the right corner of the end zone. But the touchdown call was overturned when replay showed that the ball hit the ground as he rolled on the sideline chalk.

Derek Carr completed 13-of-23 passes for 165 yards and two touchdowns for Las Vegas (5-3) which improved to 4-1 on the road and won its third straight away from home for just the third time in the past 15 seasons. Herbet Herbert completed 28-of-42 passes for 326 yards and two touchdowns for Los Angeles (2-6), which lost for the sixth time in seven games. Keenan Allen caught nine passes for 103 yards and a touchdown.

BILLS 44, SEAHAWKS 34
Josh Allen threw for 415 yards and three touchdowns while adding a rushing score to outduel Russell Wilson, and Buffalo defeated visiting Seattle in Orchard Park, NY

Stefon Diggs and John Brown combined for 17 receptions for 217 yards and the defense forced four turnovers for the Bills (7-2), who remained atop the AFC East.

The NFC West-leading Seahawks (6-2) suffered their second defeat in the past three games. Wilson was 28 of 41 for 390 yards, with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also rushed for a score.

VIKINGS 34, LIONS 20
Dalvin Cook rushed for a career-high 206 yards and two touchdowns, including a 70-yard scamper, and Kirk Cousins threw three touchdown passes as Minnesota manhandled visiting Detroit in Minneapolis.

Cook, who has scored six touchdowns in the last two games, carried 22 times and also caught two passes for 46 yards. Cousins passed for 220 yards, while tight end Irv Smith Jr. had two receiving touchdowns. Alexander Mattison added 69 rushing yards for the Vikings (3-5).

Detroit’s Matthew Stafford passed for 211 yards and a touchdown, but was also intercepted twice. T.J. Hockenson and Marvin Jones Jr. caught touchdown passes for the Lions (3-5).

FALCONS 34, BRONCOS 27
Matt Ryan threw for three touchdowns and Atlanta continued its resurgence under interim coach Raheem Morris with a victory against visiting Denver as Ryan finished 25-of-35 passing for 284 yards and an interception. Olamide Zaccheaus racked up 103 receiving yards on four catches — all in the first half.

The Falcons (3-6) are 3-1 with Morris in charge after firing coach Dan Quinn last month. This marked Atlanta’s first victory in five home games this season.

Denver quarterback Drew Lock was 25-of-48 passing for 313 yards with two touchdowns and an interception. He also led the Broncos on the ground with 47 yards on six carries, with his 10-yard run with 1:52 to play helping cut the deficit to 34-27 on a drive that covered 82 yards in five plays.

TEXANS 27, JAGUARS 25
Deshaun Watson passed for 281 yards and two touchdowns and Houston’s maligned defense denied a late two-point conversion attempt for a victory over host Jacksonville at TIAA Bank Field.

Watson added a team-leading 50 rushing yards and repeatedly produced when the Texans (2-6) were most desperate. His scramble to the 1-yard line set up a touchdown run by Duke Johnson with 30 seconds remaining in the first half and his 77-yard touchdown pass to Will Fuller at the 6:05 mark of the third quarter extended the Houston lead to 27-16.

Houston made a pair of timely defensive stops in the fourth quarter, stuffing running back James Robinson on fourth down to preserve an eight-point lead over the Jaguars (1-7). J.J. Watt added a strip sack of Jaguars rookie quarterback Jake Luton at the 6:26 mark of the final period, becoming the 35th player in NFL history to record 100 career sacks.

CHIEFS 33, PANTHERS 31
Quarterback Patrick Mahomes passed for 372 yards and four touchdowns to lead host Kansas City past Carolina.

Tight end Travis Kelce came up huge for Kansas City (8-1), snagging 10 receptions for 159 yards as the Chiefs gained their fourth straight win and remained entrenched in the AFC West lead.

Sparked by the return of All-Pro running back Christian McCaffrey, who missed the previous six games with an ankle injury, Carolina (3-6) produced touchdowns on its first two possessions and grabbed a 14-3 lead early in the second quarter. But the Chiefs took the lead for good at 20-17 as Clyde Edwards-Helaire caught a 4-yard TD pass from Mahomes with 4:42 left in the third quarter. McCaffrey finished with 151 yards on 28 touches, including 10 receptions.

TITANS 24, BEARS 17
Ryan Tannehill threw for two touchdowns, and Tennessee’s maligned defense played one of its best games of the year in a win over struggling Chicago in Nashville, Tenn.

Tannehill completed just 10 of 21 passes, but for 158 yards with no interceptions. NFL rushing leader Derrick Henry was held to 68 yards on 21 carries for the Titans, who gained a season-low 228 total yards. But the defense came up big against one of the league’s weaker offenses. Tennessee (6-2) held Chicago off the scoreboard through three quarters while posting a season-high three sacks, and held the Bears to just 2 of 15 on third down conversions.

Chicago (5-4) saw quarterback Nick Foles hit on 36 of 52 passes for 335 yards, and fourth-quarter touchdowns to Ryan Nall and Jimmy Graham. But the Bears trailed 24-3 before scoring twice in the last 5:06.

RAVENS 24, COLTS 10
Lamar Jackson had 228 yards of total offense and a rushing touchdown and Gus Edwards ran for another score to lead visiting Baltimore to a victory against Indianapolis.

Baltimore (6-2) became the first team to defeat the Colts (5-3) at Lucas Oil Stadium this season despite being outgained 339-266.

The Ravens outscored the Colts 17-0 in the second half. Edwards gave Baltimore a 14-10 lead with a 1-yard touchdown run with 5:43 remaining in the third quarter. Jackson padded the lead with 11:08 remaining in the fourth quarter, scoring on a 9-yard run.

GIANTS 23, WASHINGTON 20
Logan Ryan intercepted Alex Smith with 1:15 remaining as visiting New York nearly squandered another lead, but held on for a victory over the Washington Football Team.

The Giants (2-7) beat Washington (2-6) for the fifth straight time and picked up the season sweep after Ryan stepped in front of Smith’s pass for Terry McLaurin in the middle of the field. New York quarterback Daniel Jones completed 23-of-34 for 212 yards and threw a 16-yard touchdown to Evan Engram in the second quarter to help the Giants build a 20-3 lead.

The Giants forced five turnovers, and Washington lost starting quarterback Kyle Allen to a serious ankle injury late in the first quarter. Smith, Allen’s replacement, completed 24-of-32 for 325 yards and a 68-yard TD to McLaurin, but he was also picked off three times. — Reuters

Personal branding: an effective recruitment strategy for HR

Human resource (HR) professionals must take on a more active and consistent form of recruitment by working on their personal branding, according to an executive in the field.  

The first step is to create meaningful and valuable content. Recruiters can provide job hunting tips, share allowable industry secrets that will pique the curiosity of potential applicants, give honest and valuable opinions about recruiters and candidates, and express their care for the candidate market.

Content can take the form of a simple post, an image, or even a video, depending on the message and objective. If an HR professional wants to discuss a job that is not well-known in the industry, for instance, a video can clearly paint a picture of its tasks and expectations.

Danica Octa, president and CEO of career development and empowerment platform Metamorphosis Group, said traditional recruiters post rigidly formatted content only when there is a job opening, getting minimal engagement. On the other hand, socially engaged recruiters regularly share interesting and thought-provoking content. As a result, they get wide engagement and are kept top-of-mind among candidates because of the good impression that they make.

The second step is to host career events that provide value to potential applicants. Aside from the usual job fairs, this includes career tips webinars, mock interviews, resumé workshops, and networking events.

Ms. Octa cited “Rebuild your working world,” a public Facebook group by professional services network Ernst & Young (EY), which conducts workshops on topics such as resumé writing and networking. UnionBank, meanwhile, hosts the Virtual Career Conversation webinar series, which helps fresh graduates find work amid the pandemic.

“It will make them feel like you really want to help them get a job, which is very friendly, which is very approachable. Chances are, you will get the leads that you need,” said Ms. Octa.

The third and final step is to provide applicants with candidate success kits. These are documents that prepare them before an interview and give them an idea of what it is like to work at one’s company. These can include snapshots of the employee benefits packages, photos of the office, and tips on how to deal with different interview methods such as Situation-Task-Action-Resolve (STAR).

This kind of preparation benefits not only the candidates but also the recruiter and the company. “If you don’t teach your candidates how to talk properly during an interview, you yourself will have a hard time understanding if they’re the right fit. The problem with that is, just because of their bad communication skills, you’ll reject them. What if they’re a really good candidate? That’s a waste of opportunity for you. You would have to spend some time finding another person,” said Ms. Octa.

By employing these strategies, recruiters can help candidates feel valued. Candidates will always remember this feeling, which will influence whether they would want to work for a company or not. “The problem for some practices is that candidates don’t feel very important, they feel disposable, and you don’t want them to feel that, or else you will never get their trust once you do that,” said Ms. Octa.

 “Building a Strong Digital Recruitment Strategy” was a webinar hosted by KMC Solutions, a flexible workspace solutions provider, on November 3. — Mariel Alison L. Aguinaldo

HK domestic workers’ monthly salary tops HK$5,000 this year

By Patricia B. Mirasol

The average monthly salary of foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong topped HK$5,000 (P31,183.19; HK$1 = P6.24) in 2020, according to HelperChoice, an ethical recruitment platform. 

Greece, a Filipino domestic worker in Hong Kong, decided to work there because of the promise of higher compensation. “I had a bad experience [working in the Middle East]. Some of my friends told me that Hong Kong was a better place for domestic workers, not because of the freedom we have during holidays, but because of the higher salary [as compared to] other countries,” she said in a WhatsApp message to HelperChoice.

Like Greece, fellow domestic worker Marlina cited good pay as her primary reason for staying in Hong Kong. “I am happy that I can save more money and support my daughter until she finishes her studies. Every Sunday, I have a lot of fun with my friends, so [I don’t] feel homesick.”

According to data gleaned between September 2019 to September 2020, foreign domestic workers in Hong Kong earned HK$5,012 on average, representing a 1.35% increase compared to a 2019 study, and a 14% increase since 2016

Although the 2020 average exceeds HK$4,630—the minimum allowable wage for foreign domestic helpers prescribed by the Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region—it still does not meet the average salary expected by foreign domestic workers, who, on average, request a salary of HK$5,259.

Workers cannot expect a raise any time soon as the Hong Kong government announced a wage freeze on September 29 due to the economic contraction caused by COVID-19.

According to HelperChoice, foreign domestic workers employed by families living in wealthier districts such as Wanchai, Southern, North, Central & Western, and Sai Kung can expect an average salary of HK$5,257. Meanwhile, employers in the Kwun Tong, Sha Tin, Sham Shui Po, Wong Tai Sin, and Kwai Tsing districts offer an average salary of HK$4,726, or just HK$96 above the minimum mandated salary. 

FURTHERING FAIR RECRUITMENT
A 2017 survey by Chinese University’s Research Centre on Migration and Mobility discovered that more than 70% of foreign domestic helpers in Hong Kong work over 13 hours a day and that 34.6% need to work on off days. 

Workers surveyed by HelperChoice this year mentioned a deterioration in their working conditions: 31% reported an increase in workload; 25%, longer working hours. Due to the economic difficulties of the pandemic, over a fifth (21%) also said they were in constant fear that their contracts would be terminated.

Ethical recruitment agencies similar to HelperChoice were established in recent years to help foreign domestic workers make informed decisions in the job market, thus minimizing the risk of debt bondage and bad working conditions.

Samsung may launch flagship phone early to grab Huawei share 

Samsung is preparing to launch its new Galaxy S21 as early as late January next year. — Image via Reuters

SEOUL — Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. may launch its flagship Galaxy S smartphones more than a month earlier than expected in a bid to grab market share from Huawei and fend off competition from Apple Inc., three sources familiar with the matter said. 

Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd. once challenged Samsung’s top position in the global smartphone market, but the Chinese rival is in survival mode with US restrictions choking off its supplies of chips used in smartphones and telecom equipment.

South Korean chip industry officials hope Joe Biden’s presidency will ease some of those restrictions, although they are far from certain as they also expect the incoming U.S. administration to maintain a tough stance on China.

Samsung is preparing to launch its new Galaxy S21 as early as late January next year, whereas it previously launched its flagship S20 phone in early March this year, the sources said, asking not to be identified because the plan is not public. 

Samsung Electronics declined to comment. 

The South Korean company shipped 59% fewer Galaxy S20 5G series handsets in the United States in the second quarter compared to the previous model’s performance a year earlier, according to research firm Canalys. In contrast, Apple shipped 15% more of its flagship iPhone 11 than last year’s best-seller, the iPhone XR. 

Samsung, which lost its No. 1 position to Huawei in the second quarter, regained the crown in the third thanks in part to the US restrictions on Huawei. 

A person at one major supplier of smartphone chips said Huawei’s stockpiles were expected to run out some time early next year. 

Samsung, however, faces intensifying competition from Chinese rivals like Xiaomi and Oppo, which are expected to take advantage of Huawei’s struggle to retain market share. 

Apple also launched its iPhone series in October, about a month later than usual, stepping up competition. — Reuters
