EUA deixam de exigir teste de Covid para quem chega ao país de avião a partir deste domingo


Medida foi adotada após pressão de companhias aéreas. Centro de Controle de Prevenção de Doenças (CDC) vai reavaliar mudança nas regras em 90 dias. Avião modelo Airbus A321 decolando de aeroporto em Los Angeles Mike Blake/REUTERS Os Estados Unidos deixaram de exigir testes de Covid-19 pré-embarque para passageiros que viajam de avião para o país. Criada em janeiro de 2021, a exigência deixou de valer a partir de 0h01 deste domingo (12). O relaxamento foi autorizado pelo governo norte-americano após forte pressão das companhias aéreas e outras empresas do setor de turismo. O Centro de Controle e Prevenção de Doenças (CDC) entendeu que a ciência e os dados indicam que os testes pré-embarque não são mais necessários. O CDC fará uma reavaliação desta decisão em 90 dias, disse a autoridade. Em dezembro de 2021, o CDC passou a exigir que os viajantes tenham testes negativos de Covid-19 dentro de um dia antes dos voos para os Estados Unidos – e não três dias antes, como previa a regra anterior. Essa exigência não se estendeu para viagens de fronteiras terrestres. Três pessoas andam em setor do aeroporto de Nova York Mike Blake/REUTERS O presidente-executivo da American Airlines, Robert Isom, disse na semana passada em conferência que as exigências de testes eram “sem sentido” e estavam afetando as viagens de lazer e negócios. As companhias aéreas disseram que muitos norte-americanos não estão viajando internacionalmente por causa de preocupações de que eles testarão positivo e ficarão presos no exterior. Isom disse que 75% dos países visitados pelos norte-americanos não têm requisitos de testes. “O CDC fará uma reavaliação dessa decisão em 90 dias e, como em outras políticas, o CDC continuará a avaliá-la continuamente”, disse um alto funcionário do governo dos EUA.

Duke Kahanamoku reflects on surfing, Olympics, and old Hawaii in 1966 interview

Duke Kahanamoku is the most influential surfer of all time and is often hailed as the father of modern surfing. There is nearly no one questioning these titles. Recently, Public Broadcasting Service (PBS) Hawaii unveiled a never-before-seen interview with the legendary surfer and Olympic swimmer. In the 1966 episode of Pau Hana Years, a seminal Hawaii television program that aired on KHET-TV (now PBS Hawaii) for 16 years, running from 1966 until 1982, Bob Barker chats with Duke Kahanamoku, then 76. The conversation drifts from royal ancestry to Olympic lanes, from Hollywood sets to a surfboard shaped by hand, tracing the outline of a life that helped define modern surfing and Hawaii's public image in the 20th century. And if you know little about the man who dreamed of getting surfing into the Olympic Games, this is a precious piece of history. A name with history, worn casually The interview starts with Kahanamoku explaining that "Duke" is not a title but his giv...

The hydrodynamics of surfboard fins

Have you ever wondered why a surfboard fin looks like that? It is a single or a set of fixed blades or keels located under a board, near the tail, often no bigger than a hand. Yet that small surface is where much of the surfboard's behavior takes place. Speed, hold, looseness, and the feeling of control all trace back to how water moves around fins. The physics of surfboard fins falls under hydrodynamics, the study of how fluids behave in motion. So, according to science, they feature a shape designed to turn flowing water into several forces. Let's take a look at what's at stake when fins and water interact. Lift and the feeling of control One of the key variables in hydrodynamic terms involving surfboard fins is lift. When a surfer leans into a turn, the board tilts and the fins meet the water at an angle. The angle is enough to create a pressure difference between the two sides of the fin. Water speeds up on one side and slows on the other. The result is a sidewa...

How paddleboarding transforms your body and mind

Adventure is on our doorstep. With so many different bodies of water available to paddleboarders, from city canals to coastal routes, we can find adventure in places much closer to home than people might initially expect. According to the Canal and River Trust, 50 percent of people in England and Wales live within just eight kilometers of a canal or river, and eight million people live less than one kilometer away. I had lived within just a few kilometers of the Leeds and Liverpool Canal for years and never really explored it before stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) came into my life . The challenge created both a new perspective and a deeper love for where I lived and the areas which I passed through. On my coast-to-coast journey, I slept in my own bed for two nights as the route passed through my then hometown of Skipton, yet I felt I was on a grand journey of discovery. We are braver, stronger, and more resilient than we think. SUP not only helps us feel more connected to our va...
