7 Polio this week 12 th August th August marked one full year without a case of wild poliovirus confirmed on the African continent for the first time in history. Six weeks are required for all remaining samples in the laboratory to be processed and confirmed negative for poliovirus before there can be more confidence in a polio-free year in Africa. To end polio for good worldwide, there is much still to be done: surveillance needs to be strengthened so that we are sure no virus continues to circulate undetected; every last child needs to be reached with polio vaccines; momentum must be maintained in Africa, and transmission must be stopped in Afghanistan and Pakistan. Last week the emergency committee of the International Health Regulations (IHR) met for the sixth time to assess whether the international spread of polio continues to constitute a Public Health Emergency of International Concern (PHEIC). Their findings and recommendations will be published in the coming week

His bucket of fish is full. cop: Sir, do you have your fishing permit on you young man if not the fine will be $100? fisherman: no sir, they're my fish, I brought them from home cop: what do you mean brought them from home? fisherman: every day I come here and let the fish swim in the pond and then I call them back cop: what?

Lost my watch at a party once. Then I saw a guy stepping on it while sexually harassing a girl. I walked up to the dude, punched him in the nose. No one does that to a girl, not on my watch. A girl came skipping home from school one day. Mommy, Mommy, she yelled, we were counting today, and all the other kids could only count to four, but I counted to 10. See? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7, 8, 9, 10! Very good, said her mother. Is it because I m blonde, Mommy? Yes, it s because you re blonde, her mother replied. The next day, the girl came skipping home from school. Mommy, Mommy, she yelled, we were saying the alphabet today, and all the other kids could only say it to D, but I said it to G. See? A, B, C, D, E, F, G! Very good, said her mother. Is it because I m blonde, Mommy? Yes, pumpkin, it s because you re blonde. The next day the girl came skipping home from school. Mommy, Mommy, she yelled, we were in gym class today, and when we showered, all the other girls had flat chests, but I have these! And she lifted her tank top to reveal a pair of 36Cs. Very good, said her embarrassed mother. Is it because I m blonde, mommy? No, it s because you re 25.
