Revised Restrictions Proposed
On Tuesday, Chief Provincial Public Health Officer Dr.Brent Roussin presented new COVID-19 public healthorders being considered for implementation after thecurrent ones expire at midnight Friday. The measureswould not apply in Northern Manitoba, where pandemiccases continue to rise. They include: Permitting twoadditional visitors (family or friends) to a household;Allowing outdoor visits of up to 5 people plus members ofa household on private property; Increasing the maximumnumber of people who can attend a funeral from 5 to 10,plus the person officiating; Permitting retail stores to sellall products, with the current essential items list eliminated.The requirements to limit occupancy and maintain physicaldistancing would remain and be enforced; Allowing hairsalons and barbershops to reopen at 25% capacity, withphysical distancing in place and a requirement to collectinformation for contract tracing purposes; Permittingnon-regulated health services such as reflexologists toreopen, with physical distancing in place and a requirementto collect contact tracing information. From Friday toMonday, approximately 67,500 citizens provided feedbackvia an online survey regarding their preferences forrelaxation of restrictions. Manitobans now have theopportunity to do the same regarding these proposedchanges by visiting www.engagemb.ca. Onceimplemented, the new health orders will be in place for atleast the next three weeks.
Pack HuntersA new study has revealed a big surprise about electriceels—they hunt in packs. Prior to the study published inEcology and Evolution, scientists thought the creatureshunted on their own, zapping and then eating fish solo. Butin a Brazilian river in the Amazon, researchers for the firsttime documented a pack of Volta’s electric eels(technically, knifefish) teaming up to corral and kill smallfish. The eels gather in groups of about 100, then encircletetra fish and herd them to shallow waters. There, smallergroups of eels close in and zap the tetra, sometimes withenough force to send them flying out of the water. Thedemobilized tetra are then easy pickings. While it’scommon for mammals to hunt together, the practice israre among fish. The number of fish species who do thisis thought to be about 10. Volta’s electric eels grow toroughly 8 feet in length and are capable of delivering an860-volt shock, the most powerful of any creature onEarth. If 10 of them zapped at the same time, it would beenough to power 100 light bulbs, says Santana. And, yes,he’s been zapped himself, describing it as strong enoughto cause numbness in his arms. “It’s a really strongdischarge, however the duration’s really short,” he says.Researchers documented the hunting strategy multipletimes on Brazil’s Iriri River, though they are not sure howwidespread it is among eels elsewhere. They have beguna citizen science project to gather more information.
Rocket Test Cut ShortNASA cut short a test of the core stage of Boeing’smassiveSpace Launch System rocket on the weekend, leaving itsfuture deep-space missions in flux. The so-called hot fire,which took place at NASA’s Stennis Space Center inMississippi, was meant to be the last of eight “Green Run”tests needed to ensure that the core stage of the rocket isready for launch. With the core stage anchored verticallyon a platform, the test began at about 5:27 p.m. ET and ran
for just over one minute, well short of the scheduled timeof eight minutes. The test shut down early after amission controller declared a “major component failure”on one of the four RS-25 rocket engines from AerojetRocketdyne. All the engines shut down safely, andNASA still obtained some data from the test, but far lessthan hoped. On Tuesday, Boeing Space Launch Systemmanager John Shannon said the test would have to runfor at least 250 seconds to get the necessary data. Priorto the early shutdown, NASA was able to power up allthe core stage systems, load more than 700,000 gallonsof supercold propellant into the tanks, and fire all fourengines at the same time to simulate a launch. Followingthe hot-fire test, NASA was supposed to ship the SpaceLaunch System core stage to Kennedy Space Center inFlorida next month for assembly with Lockheed Martin’sOrion spacecraft. But that timeline now looks doubtful.At a press briefing Saturday, NASA Administrator JimBridenstine said it’s too soon to tell if another hot fire willbe necessary. When asked if a launch of the full SpaceLaunch System rocket is feasible later this year, he saidit’s too early to tell. If another hot fire is needed, theengines would need 21-30 days to reset, said JohnHoneycutt, who is NASA’s SLS program manager. Headded that he doesn’t anticipate any significant designchanges to the core stage.
Worlds May MoveThe International Ice Hockey Federation will make adecision in the coming days on whether to pull its worldchampionship from Belarus as pressure increases fromsponsors over a crackdown on opposition groups in thecountry. German motor oil manufacturer Liqui Moly saidit would cancel its sponsorship deal if the championshipremains in Belarus, a day after carmaker Skoda vowedto do the same after 28 years as a sponsor of the event.The Belarusian capital Minsk and Latvian capital Rigawere picked in 2017 as co-hosts for the May 21-June 6championship. Criticism of Belarus’ involvement hasgrown since a disputed presidential election last year wasfollowed by mass arrests at largely peaceful demonstra-tions. Fasel met with longtime Belarus President AlexanderLukashenko in Minsk on Monday, saying he wanted touse the tournament to build bridges between Lukashenkoand the opposition. However, opposition groups criticizedFasel after he was pictured embracing Lukashenko.Fasel said the gesture didn’t mean the IIHF was takingsides in Belarusian politics.The Danish city of Herning,which hosted part of the 2018 championship, is a possiblereplacement for Minsk, Fasel said, and there have beeninitial talks with 2019 host nation Slovakia. Latvia couldalso host on its own, he added. Speaking before theannouncements from Liqui Moly and Skoda, Fasel saidthe IIHF was “financially solid” despite having to cancellast year’s world championship in Switzerland becauseof the coronavirus pandemic. .
