Calabria's health system has long suffered from doctor shortages, mismanagement and infiltration by organised crime. ROME: Faced with a dysfunctional health system and the resignations of three local leaders in quick succession, Italy has turned to a charity more accustomed to warzones to help tackle coronavirus in its poorest region.

But as cases again rise nationwide, with more than 32,000 recorded on Tuesday, Calabria is ill-prepared and has been placed under the government's toughest"red zone" restrictions. Zuccatelli also suggested coronavirus could only be passed on by kissing someone"with tongues" for at least 15 or 20 minutes.

He told La Stampa newspaper that the government had agreed that Emergency would start immediate operations in Calabria"with field hospitals, COVID-19 hospitals and triage operations".The head of Federconsumatori, a leading consumer organisation, condemned the rotating cast of local leaders in Calabria in an open letter Tuesday to the government.

Faced with climate challenges, Vietnamese rice farmers switch to shrimpFor years, Ta Thi Thanh Thuy toiled on a sliver of land sandwiched between the Mekong River and the South China Sea, a region widely known as Vietnam's rice bowl, to grow the prized grain. But Thuy, along with many of her neighbours, has over the past decade completed a production swap - to shrimp - a previously unlikely shift that was spurred by the effects of climate change. As rising seawaters bring significantly increased salination levels in the Mekong Delta region, the trend toward cultivating shrimp ponds is expected to supercharge the country's seafood industry.

Mask Fights and a 'Mob Mentality': What Flight Attendants Faced Over the Last YearOne flight attendant needed medical attention for a crippling migraine brought on by confronting a passenger who refused to wear a mask. The day after the siege on Capitol Hill, passengers on a shuttle bus with a Black flight attendant assailed her with racial slurs, according to a union for flight attendants. Aviation safety officials have received dozens of confidential complaints in the past year from attendants trying to enforce mask safety rules. The reports, filed in the Aviation Safety Reporting System database, at times describe a chaotic, unhinged workplace where passengers regularly abuse airline employees. Sign up for The Morning newsletter from the New York Times “I felt like if this man is bold enough to scream ‘SHUT UP' at me in the cabin, there is no limits,” a flight attendant said in one report. The coronavirus pandemic and political divisions of the past year have caused fear, economic pain, and social and family rifts around the country, but for airline workers, and flight attendants in particular, the unease and tension have often converged in a tiny cabin space. The tension is at a level flight attendants have not seen before, said Paul Hartshorn Jr., a veteran attendant and a spokesperson for the Association of Professional Flight Attendants union. “I think we’re pretty well-trained on how to handle a disruptive passenger,” said Hartshorn, 46. “What we’re not trained to do and what we shouldn’t be dealing with is large groups of passengers inciting a riot with another group of passengers.” “It’s insane,” he added. A ‘Mob Mentality’ on Planes Even as airlines have struggled to contend with the pandemic, attendants have increasingly faced problems from passengers attacking one another over politics. Most prominently, before the Trump rally in Washington and the riot at the Capitol on Jan. 6, supporters of President Donald Trump were recorded on multiple flights to Washington heckling other passengers, including Sen. Mitt Romney, R-Utah. On one pa
